Kids are people too.” Her father loosened her arms and put his hands on her shoulders, hold- ing her off from him and looking at her unsmilingly. “Your man,” he said, and there was an edge of scorn in his voice. “Why don’t you say ‘my man and my neck- lace’? They're both things I am ex- Pected to pay for.” “Father!” é Pamela's indignation expressed it- self in a stamp of her foot. She jerked her shoulders free and glared at her parent with open hostility. “I'm disappointed in you,” he told her frankly. “You spoke of admira- tion for me. Don't you think I want to hold you in equal esteem, Pamela?” “I'm watching for the postman—our Better Gardens Magazine is due : BANK OF NO DAKOTA SINCE OCT { SHOWS $146,198 EARNINGS Deficit Still $1,084,592.87, but Reduced About $500,000 From Peak Figures 5 fall. The soil was so dry in many Ht * sections of the state that fields in- i tended for rye were left unseeded. In other fields seed failed to germ- inate until this spring. Owing to the cold April, growth has been slow and stands are thin in the northern dis- tricts. Abandonment was below aver- age and will be partially offset by the seeding of spring rye. The acreage remaining for harvest is 94 per cent of the 1,014,000 acres seeded last fall and 75 per cent of the 1928 harvested acreage of 1,271,000 acres. The May 1 condition of rye is 81 per cent compared with 71 per cent last year and a ten-year average of $2.3 per cent. This condition on the basis of the past relationship between May 1 condition and final yield indi- cates a yield of 11.2 bushels and a production of 10,655,000 bushels com- pared with a final production in 1928 of 12,710,000 and with 16,290,000 bush- els, the five-year average. Stocks of all hay on farms as of May 1 represent 12 per cent of the 1928 production of 402,000 tons which compares with 546,000 tons on May 1 Jast year and with a five-year aver- age of 393,000 tons. No general short- age of hay has been reported, but in some districts supplies have been fed clese. Condition of tame had meadows is 82 per cent compared with 73 per cent last year. Pasture condition is 78 per cent which com- pares with last ycar's condition of 68 per cent. For the United States ,. The winter wheat acreage remain- ing for harvest in the United States is estimated to be 40,467,000 acres compared with 43,225,000 acres seeded .Jast fall and with 36,179,000 acres har- vested. The five-year average acre- ae is 36,244,000. The 1929 acreage “for harvest is the largest since 1922. ‘The acreage abandoned represents 64 per cent of the seeded acreage ‘and compares with the ten-year av- erage of 10.5 per cent. ‘The May 1 condition is 83.6 per cent, which compares with 74.9 per cetn last May and with 85 per cent, ‘the. ten-year average. A condition of 836 per cent forecasts a probable pro- duction of 595,335,000 bushels com- Pared with 578,964,000 bushels har- vested in 1928. ‘The acreage of rye remaining for harvest is estimated at 3,225,000 acres compared with 3,360,000 acres seeded reports te Mr. Judson and learns that it was Mildred and not Pamela who had worked for his release. Judson tells him that Mildred last fall and with 3,444,000 acres har- vested. The May 1 condition of 87.6 per cent indicates a probable yield of 13.8 bushels and a production of 44,- 366,000 bushels. This is larger than the 41,766.00 bushels harvested last year, but over 10,000, bushels less than the five-year average produc- tion. Stocks of hay on farms are con- siderably smaller than last yea id slightly less than the five-year aver- age. Condition of meadows at 87.8 per cent and of pastures at 86.9 per cent are much above the condition on May Ist last year. Foreign Crop Prospects The 1929 winter wheat area in 17 countries is estimated at 139,671,000 acres compared with 142,683,000 acres in 1928. Considerable winter killing is thouhgt to have occurred in small areas of Hungary and the Balkans, The 1929 wheat crop of India is Placed at 307,515,000 bushels com- pared with the final estimate in 1928 of 288,811,000 acers. The rye area in 11 European countries in which 60 per cent of last year’s acreage was grown is reported as 24,686,000 acres against 24,891,000 acres in 1928.

How can you judge him?” “I'm not blind. He scarcely knows you're on earth, Pam.” Pamela surprised him. “What of it? she asked. Wouldn't you be thinking of other things too if you were in his position? I don’t expect him to think only of me. But if you had seen the way he behaved in...

He's @ friend of her family and she was more loyal to him than I was—but of course she knew about Huck Connor. “But can’t they find Huck?” “He seems to have disappeared.

Don't you go put- herb any foolish notions into his ead.” “But if they couldn't catch him, we could stay away, until Huck Connor is found, and that would be much safer for Stephen. wouldn't it? I’m sure there's something going on that you haven't told me about.” Mr, Judson considered. Perhaps it would be best for Stephen to tell Pa- mela what had happened that after- noon. “You wouldn't have asked him to stay here except for some good rea- son,” Pamela went on. “After all, it's not you who is in love with him.” “No, it wash't love for him that in- duced me to keep him here,” her father agreed. “Frankly, he is most unwelcome and I shall have a talk with him before I accept him as my future son-in-law.” “Then why have you asked him to stay?” “We hope to draw Connor within our reach.” ‘How ridiculous. youldn’t come here.” “No, I don’t believe he would enter the hotel. But he may try to get to Armitage outside and we'll have a better chance of apprehending him or some one who knows where he is hid- ing if we keep a strict watch on Armitage, we believe. “I don’t see what Huck would want Huck Connor to do to him now. “We think he doesn't want him to marry you, Pam, and that he will go to any length to prevent it. You've got to be very careful.” Pamela was frightened. “Please call up Stephen,” she said nervously. Her father stepped to the telephone and asked for Stephen's room. (To Be Continued) + !
