D. A. CAMPAIGN Workers to Free State From Tremendous Losses From Fouling of Grain Another month will find North Da- kota farmers drilling their 1929 crop. The annual seeding operation this spring will differ from those of the past few years. It will differ in that the largest quantity of clean and pure seed will be sowed since back in the days when the state's cash grains were not all intermixed. This is the belief of all authorities on seed throughout North Dakota, who point to an unprecedented demand for clean and pure seed. The Greater. North Dakota asso- ciation launched the actual field work of a “better seed grain” campaign December 3, and on every single week-day since that time, somewhere in this state, groups of farmers have been invited to attend free meetings being held in connection with this campaign. Already men owning and farming more than a million acres of land in this state have attended these meetings, many of them contracting sfor quantities of certified 99.9 per spent pure seed. Since the associa- * ‘¢4on's campaign was launched, many agencies have swung their efforés be- hind this and similar programs of work, calculated to rid the state of the tremendous loss accruing to its 's from light, unclean, mixed ‘producer: ana diseased seed, each of which fac- vters in recent years has been driving down the total cash receipts from grain through dockage and down- Must Do as Others Do fot alone in the quantity of good placed in the ground this year the association look for results this intensive campaign, which, by the end of this month, will have entered about “40 counties. In the seed plots on the farms from east to ‘west will the ‘lasting results be wit- nessed. It is this practice of produc- ing one’s own seed from year to year, obviating the heavy seed bills fre- ‘and buoying up the average quality each year, which the associa- tien has sought to urge upon the growers of the state. Farmers states have been forced to and selection of their own ‘and now, in order to main- tain a. quality yield over the Dakota must fall in line grain” campaign ost. immediately harvest last fall, when it that the 1928 grain going ‘was recel an average gtading lower than ever before.

The association through its sheep, hog, trench silo, alfalfa and like campaigns is and constantly has been working to speed up diversification. The “better seed grain” campaign was conceived only in the interests of the acreage which ‘was sure to be seeded to cash grains in 1929. i att Urged te Sow Flax ‘The federal grading division has co- Operated with the association. The ‘workers appearing on these programs have numbered three in every case, two from this offi¢e, and one from the federal department., They have offered a three-fold service to farm- ers in attendance: a free test on any samples of grain brought to the meet- ; of samples of grain out of this state to the terminal. markets, showing just why each sample was docked and what the loss to the producer totaled; and the showing of-samples of certified or 99.9 per cent pure seed for purchase in small quantities for seed plot pur- poses. a Quoting eminent authorities on 1929 fall market possibilities, the associa- tion has urged an appreciable de- in durum wheat acreage, while that the possibilities for @ strong flax market were never bet- ter.

The ment association, agsisted by the Greater North Dakota association, is now closing out the last of a 30,000 pound lot of Montana blue tag alfalfa, the premier in alfalfa seed. Lot of Cooperation The extension division of the Agri- cultural college, and especially the de- partment of agronomy headed by Dr. E. G. Booth, and the county agents in the field, have assisted in locating and distributing the best seed obtain- able. Economic conferences at strat- egic points over the state as a whole have emphasized the necessity for an improvement in seed quality. The Soo line, through E. F. Johnson, director of agricultural development fl work, is at psesent carrying a special seed train over a large share of its North Dakota system, arguing for. stronger strains and cleaner seed. The North Dakota Farmers’ Grain Dealers’ association, in annual convention in Fargo, pledged wholehearted support and cooperation to the association in its grain campaign. The railroads have all helped. Seed houses have whittled their margins of profit in order to move larger quantities which had been contracted by the associa- tion. The newspapers of the state, in their characteristic spirit of civic and state helpfulness, have printed col- umnhs of information about all of the campaigns and written editorials cor- roborating the judgment of others that better seed was essential to bet- ter grades next fall. Only through the fine type of co- operation offered by all of the above forces, and the ability to work to- gether without duplicating energies, has the campaign for “better seed grain” on the North Dakota farm been made such a splendid success, declares B. W. Groom, chairman of the agricultural committee of the Greater North Dakota association. {Legislative Calendar | BILLS PASSED BY SENATE H. B. 118—Game and fish com- mittee.

The legislature Friday . passed a resolution enumerating suggestions to the president and congress. ‘These include: Adjustment of present tariff schedules and rates so that farm products will be protected from “ruin- ous competition with foreign coun- tries.” Provisions for the farmer to dispose of surplus crops. Stabilization of prices so that the farmer will not be forced into low prices when most of his products are sold and firid high prices when he has few products on hand. Purnishing credit to cooperative farmers associations at low rates of interest in order to help price stabi- lization. The resolution also decries. issuing crop reports, declaring that such re- ports unduly depress or encourage the markets. It also takes exception to conditions permitting farmers to market hogs at one price and packers to hold the finished product for later increased prices. ¢—$___—_—_—____———_+ | People’s Forum + Bismarck, N. D. Editor Tribune: The time to “commence work in our garden” draws nearer and nearer. Soon we will be putting in our bulbs and seeds and then waiting for our reward in beautiful blossoms. In the meantime, let. us consider the matter of beautifying the high- ways leading into Bismarck. A dis- cussion of this subject was taken up in the last meeting of the Garden club, and it was suggested that Cali- fornia poppies, zinnias, larkspur and others of the hardy flowers used in our gardens for brilliant ¢olor. would brighten up the highways gnd assure the visitor of a pleasant welcome to our city. Not only for that reason, but the flowers named above could be broadcast and would crow and bloom with little or no care. We are sure that every member of the Garden club and every other per- son interested in flowers would will- ingly give a package or two of seeds. To return to the subject of our last article, “A Garden for Every Child,” we found a little poem the other day that expresses our thought along this line very well. It is by GIVE A CHILD A GARDEN Give a girl a garden, let her tend and care es Something all her ‘very own all the summer there: +.

She came to my office about two months ago, to in- quire about insurance.” “Just picked you out blindly?” Ruth asked skeptically. “Or had someone given her your name?” “She dign’t say, and of course I didn’t ask,” Jack answered, a little. stiffly. “I asked her into my private office and gave her a lot of informa- tion about various types of policies —straight life, 20-year endowment, ete.

I thought she was in- terested in the pigeons, which were circling about—made some remark to her about Heats | bstleanadl “What_was she like—beside her voice?” Ruth asked eagerly. “Tall and very slender, big, fine dark eyes—sad eyes,” Jack answered so unhesitatingly that another pang of jealousy shot through the girl’s heart. “About 35, I imagine. A good deal of makeup, but a skillful, artis- tic job. Good clothes, but just a lit- tle shabby, an elegant sort of shab- iness, “She evidently made a great im- pression on you,” Ruth could not help remarking. “I suppose you re- member her name, too?” “You're delicious when you're an- gry or jealous,” Jack laughed, and kissed the tips of her fingers. “She did make a deep impression on me, because I thought she had the most. tragic face I’d ever seen. That’s why I hesitated to say a word which might involve her in this nasty busi- - No man would wai add an- other bitter line to that tragic face. voice?” “You started and blushed—and you're still blushing,” Ruth accused him wonderingly, and a little jeal- ously. “I’m sure my description re- minded you of someone you know.” “What about this woman with the voice?” Jack evaded, reaching for the -poker,-so that Ruth could not see his eyes. The girl stared at him, bewildered and: hurt, then answered steadily, a little coldly: “You were present this morning when I told Mr. McMann abgut a telephone call for.

I was familiar with the voice call- ing then, for the woman. had tele- phoned several. times during the four months I worked for Mr. Bor- den, He always refused to talk with her, though she never gave me her name, n : “Saturday morning Mr. Borden came in a minute or two after I had hung up the receiver, and when I told him that the woman with the beautiful contralto, voice had called he said: ‘That voice may sound beau- tiful to you, but bel me, I'd rather listen to a riveting machine,’ or words to that effect.” “Not enough to hang her on,” Jack commented drily, still poking needlessly at the fire. “Of course not, dear,” Ruth an- swered reasonably, though her voice trembled slightly. “But the story Minnie Cassidy told definitely brings the: woman with the contralto voice into the puzzle. While Minnie was cleaning in our offices shortly after half-past one Mr. Borden left his office for a minute or two, asking Minnie to stay until he returned, since he had no key and didn’t want: her to go away-and leave the door unlocked for him. While he was gone the phone rang, Minnie answered, told the woman to hold the wire. When Mr. Borden returned, he asked her to describe the voice of the wom- an calling, and Minnie did so, say- ing the woman had a lovely, sweet voice, like an alto singer, as she puts it, At first Mr. Borden told her curtly to hang up the receiver, then considered a moment, and directed her to tell the woman to call again L:OonrT vow WHETHER 17S A OIRNTY TRICK ARE ACTUALY PAINFUL.

Her name was Martha Manning.’ “Miss or Mrs.?” Ruth isted. “She. didn’t say, but I addressed her as Miss Manning until she made inquiries about a trust fund’s being made of the insurance, if she took it out, in favor of her six-year-old son. Then I called her Mrs. Manning and she did not correct me.” 2 Ruth considered, her eyes grow- ing ‘wider and wider. Then, slowly: “Miss Manning, Jack, and the boy was Harry Borden’s illegitimate son. I feel absolutely sure of that... . What was her address?” she added suddenly. = “Some little hotel—let me think. «++ Oh, yes, the Acropolis Hotel. I wrote her, asking if she had made up her mind as to the kind of in- surance she wanted to take out, and she did not reply. She did come in again, however, and told me that it was quite useless for her to consid- er any kind of insurance on her life hat she had been to her own phy- sician and he had told her she was in an advanced stage of tuberculosis. And again—she stood at my win- dow, lookihg out... . I felt damned sorry for her,” Jack added, in a low hi voice. “Frank Ashe felt sorry for her, too,” Ruth said slowly. And then she told him, briefly, the story that Bor- den’s manservant had told Detec- tive Sergeant McMann—how the woman with the beautiful contralto voice had come to Borden’s apart- ment, gained entrance by watching her chance, and had been knocked half senseless either by Borden him- self or by Jake Bailey, his body- guard “Motive!” Jack commented, but without triumph. “Now to oppor- tunity.

In my office all that time? So far as I know, no one has told of seeing a stranger on the seventh floor all afternoon, and neither Otto Pfluger nor Micky Moran said anything about bringing such a — oo floor.” “She could have liked up, of course—part of the way, at least,” Ruth offered tentatively. “But—Let- ty went into your offices for the second time to clean them at half- past two. I’m sure she would have told Mr.-McMann if she had seen anyone coming out of your office or in the corridor. But, Jack, there’s no getting around it: Some woman, Martha Manning, or some other woman, was in Borden’s offices Sat- urday—besides Rita, Mrs. Borden, Minnie and myself, I mean, for, as McMann puts it, she left her call- ing card on the glass panel in the door between the private of and the outer office—three clear finger- prints. “The only fingerprints on the glass panel, which the window-wash- er had cleaned late Friday after- noon. Maybe she had a key to Borden’s office—but no, that’s im- possible, for Mr. Borden had the lock changed after I started to work for him only four months ago, and all that time he has refused even to. talk over the phone with the woman of the contralto voice. Oh!” she sighed suddenly, slumped in a pathetic little heap. “I’m so ghastly tired I can’t think.” “You’te going to bed, darling,’ Jack commanded, contrition and compassion in his voice and eyes. “I could do with a little sleep my- self, and it’s a shame to keep my poor ‘shadow’ standing out there in the cold so long. He'll be all the bet- ter for taking his ‘dog’ for a walk on the leash, You're going to the scene of the crime tomorrow morn- Ruth laughed _shakily. “Why, I’m going to take charge of the investigation!—after I’ve done one errand—with my own ‘shadow’ trailing me. . , . No, I won’t tell you what I intend to do. Go along. I want to—pray, and then to sleep. Good night, my daclidg.
