For Seed Growers Harvesting legume and grass seed return to bring a three-fol- d farmers: additional income, assurance of feed for livestock and protection for their soil, says the will U.S.D.A. An increase of 67 per cent over last years harvested acreage of clover seed is sought in 1945, a total of 179,000 acres.. One reason for the larger acreage is the urgent e , call for this seed from liberated areas of Europe, in addition to increasing home requirements for hay and soil protection. Half again as much alfalfa seed is needed as was harvested in 1944, about 100,000,000 pounds. About 120,000,000 pounds of rec clover seed are needed, some IE per cent .more than was produceo last year. Hay and pasture account foi s more than of the feed consumed by dairy cows and furnish a major share of the feed for other livestock. In addition, farmers depend on legumes and grasses to check soil erosion and maintain fertility. For example, legumes used as green manure add nitrogen to the soil and when grown in mixtures, they furnish this essential element to the grasses in the mixture. When used in crop rotations, legumes maintain and increase the acre yield of three-quarter- - "v W rm'-- ' "is Ijtfl l-- STORY Gathering Cash Seed Crop. other grasses and leaimes are valuable as permanent cover for the land, holding the soil against erosion by wind and water.

Effect of Pregnancy The seveie price discriminations by market buyers against regnant yearling heifers are not justified when such heifers are marketed by the end of the fifth month of gestation, according to the Illinois agricultural experiment station Slaughtered tests and carcass show that pregnant heifers take on a higher degree of finish and that at this stage of pregnancy neither the dressing percentage nor the market grade is lowered. O U THUS FAR: Melody Jones and George Fury rode into Payne-villstrangers, and Melody, mistaken for the outlaw, Monte Jarrad. he and Fury were rushed out to her ranch by Cherry, Montes girl. As a posse was after them Melody and Fury were taken to a deserted shack. He changed saddles with Montes and returned to Payne-vill- e where he met Ira. Ira had him covered when Lee came in and ordered Melody to hit the trail with him. They soon came across Cherry and Fury. Under threats from Lee they all returned to the ranch to find Monte. Cherry managed to draw a gun on Lee and made arrangements to take Melody to where the express money was hid by Monte. Im not Monte Jarrad, Melody told him now. My name is Melody Jones, out o high Montana I dont know Monte Jarrad; I never set eyes on him in my whole life; I aint responsible for none of the things he ever done; and Ill be pertically damned if 1 aim to get hung in his place!

There was criticism in that, even Luke Packer's eye. He had an idea a faint contempt. But Melody only that he was about to get some place.

Melody watched her as she melted the base of the candle first, and stuck it on a shelf, before lighting the wick. Then they turned and looked at the room. A tall, gaunt-face- d man sat watching them steadily from a bunk in the corner of the room. He lounged back with his knees crossed, to all appearances at home and at his ease. But in his hand was the bign of a that Melody gest hog-lehad ever seen, and it was pointed steadily at the region of Melodys belt. The three stood and looked at each other through a moment of quiet. The man with the gun spoke first. Do you happen to know who I am, bud? Melody looked the gun in the eye, and his answer was respectful. No, sir. Luke Packer is the name. Are you are you looking for somebody, Mr. Packer? Packer stared at him; but the gun did not waver from Melodys belt You be the judge, buckle. he said.

Both men were looking hard at her now. Melodys face had gone slack again. But, he said, in a squeak. He cleared his throat. But," he said again, this time in bass, but just as vaguely as before. Melody turned toward Cherry. Are you sure, he asked her, his voice peculiar, are you sure jest which man you aim to be the death of around here? g What? Jest a little bit ago you was all in favor of hangin Will you be quiet! Cherry blew I cant stand this any more! up. The express box is under that slab! Luke Packer did not turn to the window ledge at once. His eyes were jumping quickly pack and forth from one to the other of them, studying them acutely. He drew his huge gun, very cautious, now that he had come to the end of a weary trail, that no trick should unseat him. When he moved at last he backed toward the window ledge, still facing them. He bent his knees; with his free hand, but without looking at the ledge, he heaved upward upon the edge of the slab. The broad timber of the window ledge moved to his lift, not easily, but enough to confirm that it was free. A faint surprise crossed Luke Packers face. He may not have believed Cherry, until then. Packer half whirled toward the. window embrasure, his gun pointed straight upward in his right hand. With his left hand he caught a new grip upon the ledge slab, and sent it spinning to the floor. He hardly noticed as Melody, moving at his walking lope, crossed the cabin to his side. .Together they stood peering into the black cache. Luke Packer bent to reach in after the box that rested deep within the wall. Then, as he bent, there came an ugly short soiftid, as when a melon falls and splits; and over this sounded the tinkle of glass fragments. Luke Packers whole body shocked rigid, as if struck in the middle by a crowbar; and for a moment he balanced there, upon galvanized muscles. In that moment while he still stood, bent and rigid, they heard the far-of- f sound of the gun-shwhich had sent the lead. Then Luke Packer collapsed and fell, first In a loose sprawl across the black mouth of the cache, then, rolling and sliding, into an angular heap upon the floor. For an instant Melody stared out through a broken pane into the night, as if anything were to be seen out there in the moonless dark. Then he stooped above Luke Packer. Instantly a second shot buzzed through the room, and bedded in the floor; followed in a moment by the sound of the rifle. Melody! Melody I Cherry cried out. Get down! She came running to him. Put out the candles, you you ninny, Packer wheezed. His words were no more than a soft rasp in his Put out all but one. throat They did as they were told; and then, when they had made Luke Packer as comfortable as they could, they straightened up and looked at each other. Their eyes were grave, George Fury," Melody said, very softly, his lips scarcely moving. He must of come up careful, and saw that we was caught So this this is what he done. What? Luke Packer asked. In a ghostly whisper. What did you say? Nothin. Luke Packers eyes were open, fixed on the beams above, but they did not appear to see anything. There was a strange look of preoccupation in his face, as if the old man had turned inward with an inYou folks had bettense attention. ter be getting on, he said without The posse cant moving his eyes. be far away. They waited. There was nothing to do, and nothing to look at, and nothing to listen to except the slowly changing rhythm of Luke Packers breathing, which was turning shaky in his throat. But when Packer finally spoke his voice was surprising clear. So you were telling the truth, he said. Yes, Melody answered. last-minu- steel-boun- d (TO BE CONTINUED) UPhilipr RETURNING SOLDIER What a country to get back to! . . .
