Owen R.

Morrone left a wife, 42 years of age; son 11 year, and a son and daughter, twins. 4 voars of aim. The commission set aside $7442.25 to be placed in the seureirated luridpnt. fimH and invested in bonds for the benefit of these dependents and will pay the widow $30 per month for life and to the widow for the benefit of each child, $6 per month until the child reaches the age of 16 years. If the widow lives to the age of ex pectancy, she will have received for the benefit of herself and child, $11, 577.20. This money is for her per sonal use only. Payment is guaran teed by the state; it cannot be set aside by any action of the court or process of law nor can it be assigned by the widow herself but must bo paid to her in person so long as slie lives. there is no reason to believe that this sjsU'm will not work out.

If a crop will show lyooi returns under unfavorable con ditions then we may "bank" on re sults in more favorable seasons. The season of 191.1 was favorable for Su dan Glass and it made fairly good showing that season, but last season tried it out und so far as a crop for our conditions is concerned it is "down and out. ' Corn on the other haiiH showed us that over a large pait of the county it has a place in our farm ing operations. ' About a year ago Mr. Playle of A Heel, came to the office and told me he wanted to try out 'some corn for fodder purposes on his summer-fallow ground. After considering a num ber of varieties we decided on Min nesota 23, a medium growing, early maturing, white cap sort. We sent to Corvallis for enough seed to plant eleven acres. For various reasons the seed was not planted until May 18. In due time a good stand of corn made its appearance and grew lustily un- every six days. The water chould be til the untimely frost began to nibble reduced by one-half ounce about every on it and then one night early in Sep- two weeks. tomber it was "cooked" to a turn.
