Send stamped self-ad- Dave Bruce, out of a job, 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 refuses 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 Ferris 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- piilled together as well as -have done. I'm in a j; Maybe us two could get together." 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." "Lonergan's got me by the throat," said the ranchman bitterly, and recounted their conversation of that morning. "But so far as I 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 me!" exploded Ferris. "Something that happened before I came into the valley, that he could put me behind bars for. He's aimin' 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 eryin', girl?" ing the opposite direction till he got clear of the town. Suddenly blind rage filled Ferris' heart. And, according to the nature of the man, it did not show itself upon his face, which became a mask. Stupidly, blindly trying to find reality in this new confusion, Ferris rode back toward his ranch house with a sudden resolution formed. 4 Weak, irresolute, he was following the traditional line of least resistance 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 foreman 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.

"Just leave it to me, and I'll keep yuh posted, Ferris," answered "I've got to give Lonergan his answer within the next two days," the ranchman protested. "Stall him off," said the foreman. "String him along a day or two more, and if he insists tell him to go plumb to hell. All you need to do is keep a stiff top lip. I'm glad you and me had this talk. It clears up things consid'rable. Yuh won't see much of me the next day or two, because I'll be on a lone wolf hunt in the mountains. But I'll let yuh know when the trap's sprung."

"I could do with a share in the Cross-Bar," said Curran* bluntly. "I ain't the kind who'd ■ ride yuh down the wav Lonergan's doin'. And what I had on you,'you'd have on me, I guess. A third share's all I'd ask." "Suppose--suppose Blane Rowland ever came back?" the ranch-. man quavered. "He's still half-owner. If he hadn't made that mad break when he thought the Cross-Bar was goin'. smarsh--" "Yuh needn't worry about him," grinned Curran. "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 restitution of that money stole, which represents purty nigh half the value of the ranch." "What's your proposal?" "I ain't-makin' none, Ferris. It nobody's goin' to lay roses on his grave." "When -- how -- what's your plan?" whispered Ferris, spilling a tr/iil of whisky over the floor as he Interest in the sunflower as a grain crop came about largely because of the shortage of edible vegetable oils in Canada soon after the outbreak of the present war, states Dr. T. M. Stevenson, Dominion Agrostologist. Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. The ensilage varieties which were tall growing and late maturing, were not suited as a grain crop in most areas. However, other types were availalbe. Canadian 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 vegetable oil. They set about to develop varieties suitable for grain production on a large scale. They decided first of all that such varieties must be semi-dwarf in habit of growth and early maturing so that they could be harvested 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 varieities which resulted from that work are "Sunrise" and "Mennonite". Approximately 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 18y2 million pounds of seed. This crop is capable of providing il/2 million pounds of high quality edible oil and more than 2,250 tons of excellent, high protein oil 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 production of sunflo ,ers for grain constitutes another worthwhile contribution from agriculture to the war effort. Men of Canadian Navy Given Praise A. V.
