By VICTOR DAWN ROSSEAU CHAPTER XVII easy in the bunkhouse after his SYNOPSIS night's ride. And when they Dave Bruce, out of a job, arrives at Wilbur Ferris' Cross-Bar ranch. , Curran, the foreman, promises him o job if he can break a horse called Black Dawn. When he succeeds, "he discovers Curran expected 'the horse to kill him. A girl 'named Lois rides up, angry with Dave for breaking "her" horse. She re- fuses to speak to Dave even when he uses his savings to pay off the mortgage on the small ranch she shares with" her foster father, a man named Hooker. But when Hooker is shot and Dave is charged with murder, Lois saves him from being lynched. Wounded, she guides him to a mountain cave where she thinks they will be safe from Curran and the sherif's posse, Meanwhile, a quarrel between Fer- tis and Judge Lonergan reveals that Ferris had killed his partner, Blane Rowland, many years before. Lonergan ushered Ferris out into the street, closed .the door, and strode briskly in the direction of the courthouse, outside which a knot of men was already milling. Ferris got on his horse and rode - slowly back toward his ranch, tak- reached the office, he said, "Cur. ran, I reckon yon and me haven't pulled together as well as we might have done. I'm in a jam now. Maybe us two could get together." ° * 5 » Curran's eyes narrowed. "I neve er bore yuh no .ill feelin's, Mr, Ferris," he answered. "Course I knew yuh didn't exactly like Judge Lonergan's puttin' me in 'here, but I done my best for yore spread." "Lonesgan's got me by the throat," said the ranchman bitterly, and recounted their conversation of that morning. "But so far as T 'understood, yuh've "kept up 'the 'mortgage 'in- t'rest," said 'Curran. "And the mortgage has got another eighteen months to run." "Damn him, he's got something on mel!" exploded Ferris. "Some- thing that happened 'before I came into the valley, that he could 'put me behind bars for, He's ainiin' to treat me the way he was goin' to treat old Hooker. When he's cleaned up on my ranch, how long d'you think your job will last?" "Yeah, I been thinkin' about that myself," Curran confessed. Ferris asked the question that he "Yuh ain't--ain't cryin', girl?" d ing the opposite direction till he got clear of the' town. Suddenly blind rage filled Ferris' heart. And, according to the na- ture of the man, it did not show itself upon his face, which became a mask, Stupidly, blindly trying to find reality in this new confus- jon, Ferris rode back toward his ranch 'house with a sudden resolu- tion formed. . Weak, -irresolute, he was follow- ing the traditional line of least re- sistance in seeking a confidant. And Curran, 'the foreman, was the man he sought. He was throwing himself upon the mercy of the man between whom and himself there had been undeclared enmity ever since Lonergan made Curran fore- man of the Cross-Bar outfit. "Want to see you in. the office," he told Curran, who was taking it Smart Capelet ---- Priorities on fuel have made capelets ride the crest of fashion.

"I've heard that story, , but I don't believe it." * "You think the sheriff will get Bruce and that' girl?" he asked in the meanwhile. "I dunno," said Curran.

"You mean--you mean--3" he stammered. "I could do with a share in the Cross-Bar," 'said Curran® bluntly, "I .ain't the kind who'd ride yuh down the way Lonergan's doin', And what I had on you, you'd have on me, I guess, A third share's alt I'd ask." "Suppose--suppose Blane Row- land ever 'came back?" the 'ranch- man 'quavered=-- "He's still 'half- owner, Ifthe hadn't'made that mad break when he thought the Cross- Bar was goin' smarsh--" "Yuh needn't worry about him," .grinned Ctirran, "He- won't come back. First place, he'd be facin' a long term in the pen, and second place, 'he'd have to make restitu- - tion of 'that money stole, which re- presents purty 'nigh half the value of the ranch." ; "What's your proposal?" "I ain't makin' none, Ferris, It come from you. I was only sayin', "Lois nobody's goin' to lay roses on his 1 sgrave."

Canadian Plant Breeders Interest in 'the sunflower as a Oufstanding Varieties ; grain crop came about largely be-' cause of the shortage of edible vegetable oils in Canada :soon after the outbreak of the present war, states Dr. T. M. Stevenson, Dominion _ Agrostologist. Experimental Farm, Ottawa. The ensilage varicties which were tall growing and late: matur- ing, were not suited as 'a grain crop in most areas. However, other types were availalbe, Can- adian plant breeders had, some years prior to the outbreak of war, recognized the possibility of using the sunflower as. a grain crop, chiefly as a. source of vége- table oil, They set about to 'de- velop varicties suitable 'for .grain production on a large scale. They decided first of all that: such varieties must be semi-dwarf in Central "habit of growth and early matur- | ing so that they could be haryest- ed satisfactorily by ordinary farm machinery, Furthermore, the new varieties 'had to meet certain standards of perfection respecting oid content and oil quality," Two Outstanding Varieties The two outstanding varieitics which resulted from that work are "Sunrise" and "Meniionite", (Ap- proximately 30,000 acres of these varieties were grown for grain in the prairie: provinces in 1943, It is estimated that this crop will yield over 18% million pounds of seed. This crop is capable of providing 4% million pounds of _high quality edible oil and more than -2,250 "tons of excellent, high protein gil meal suitable for stock 'feed. In addition there will be an abundance of seed available to enable us to meet .the "50,000 acre objective set for 1944, The development and produc- tion of sunflowers for grain con- stitutes another 'worthwhile con- tribution from sagriculture to the war 'effort.
