Trevors, even with his finger
..crooked to the trigger, paused and he
saw the two guns in Carson's brown
.hands trained unwaveringly upon him.
• There was much deadly determina-
tion in Carson's eyes. Again Trevors
.1aughed, drawing back his empty.
. hand.
"You yellow dog!" grunted Bud
• Lee, his tone one of supreme disgust.
"You d—d yellow dog!"
Trevors shrugged.
"You see, gentlemen—two to one,
with the odds all theirs."
• "You lie!" spat out Carson. • "It's
‘,4one to one an' I'll see the game goes
square." He stepped forward, re-
• moved the weapon from the table .un-
der Trevors' now suddenly changeful
eyes, and went back to his place .with
This back to the wall.
• "For God's sake!" cried the one
nervous man in the room, he who had
,opened the door. 'This is murder!"
• Melvin smiled, a smile as cheerless
s the gleam of wintry starlight on a
'bit of glass.
"Will you fight him, Trevors?" he
asked. "With your hands?"
"Yes," answered Trevors. "Yes."
"Move back the table," command-
ed Melvin, on his feet in an instant.
-"And the chairs. Get them back."
The table was dragged to the far
end of the room; the chairs were pil-
ed upon it.
"Now," and Melvin's watch was in
• his hand, his voice coming with me-
••tallic coldness, "it's to a finish, it is?
Three-minute rounds, fair fighting,
But now at last Bayne Trevors'
blood was up, his slow anger had
kindled, he was moving his feet rest-
lessly.
"D—n it," he shouted, "whose fight
is this but mine and Lee's? If he.

'Caron!"
"Well?" said Carson,
• "Lee challenges me doesn't he?'.
Then I'm the man to name the sort
*of fight, am I not? Is that fair?"
"Meaning just what?" asked Car-
son.
"Meaning that I am going to get
him, get him any way I can! You
llet us fight this out our way, any
'way, and no interference!"
"Talk to Bud there," rejoined the
old cattleman calmly. "It ain't my
scrap."
"Then, Lee," • snapped Trevors,
'come on if you want such a fight as
you'd get if you and I were alone in
-the mountains, with no man to • watch,
a fight where a man can use what
weapons God gave him, any weapon

sneer cattle, "do you want a pair of
padded gloves and somebody to fan
you?"
Carson shifted his glance to Bud
Lee's face, 1...ce, merely nodded.
"Then," cried Carson sternly, "go
to it! No man steps in, an' you two
can fight it out like coyotes or maim-
tain-hons for all of me."
"Your word there will be no inter-
ference?" asked Trevors. "Foy you're
just a fool and not a liar, Carson.'
• "My word," was the answer.
Bayne Trevors, slipped out of his
coat and vest, tossing them to the
pile of chairs on fhe table. He loos-
ened his soft • shirt -collar and was
ready. All of Bud Lee's simple pre-
parations had been made when he
threw his broad hat aside.
Then came the little pause which
is forerunner to the first blow, when
two men measure each other, seeking
each to read the other's purpose,
"It ought to be a pretty even
break," muttered Melvin, his interest
obviously that of a sporting man who
would travel a thousand miles to see
a fight for nchampion's belt. "Trev-
ors has the weight by forty pounds;
Lee has the reach by a hair; both are
quick -footed; both hard; Lee, maybe
a little harder. Don't know. Even
break. The sand will do it—sand or
luck."
The two men drew slowly together.
Their hands came up, their fists
showed glistening knuckles, their
jaws were set, their feet moved cau-
tiously. Then suddenly Bud Lee
sprang in and struck,
Struck tentatively with his left
hand that grazed T-revors' cheek and
did no harm; struck terribly with his
right hand that drove through the
other man's guard and landed with
the little sound of flesh on flesh on
Trevors' chest. Trevors' grunt and
his return blow came together; both
men reeled back a half -pace from the
impact, both hung an instant.upon an
unsteady balance, both sprang for-
ward. And as they'met the second
time, they battled furiously, clinging
together, striking mercilessly, giving
and taking with only the sound of
scuffling boot -heels and. soft thuds
and little coughing grunts breaking
the silence. Bayne Trevors gave
back a stubborn step, striking right
and left as he did so; caught himself
hurled himself forward so that now
it was Bud Lee who was borne back-
ward by the sheer weight of his op-
ponent. There was a gash on Lee's
temple from which a thin stream of
blood trickled; 'Trevors' mouth was
bleeding.
"Under his guard, Trevors!" shout-
ed Melvin, on the table now, his face
red, his eyes shining. "Under, un-
der!"
"Remember, Bud! Remember!"
cried Carson.
• "That's it, that's it!" Melvin clap-
ped his two big hands and came per-
ilously near falling from his point of
vantage as Trevor's' fists drove into
Lee's body and Lee went reeling
back. "Give him h-1! A hundred
dollars on Trevors!"
"Take you!" called Carson without
withdrawing his eyes from the two
forms reeling up and down, back and
forth across the room,
"Done!" cried Melvin. "Trevors, a
hundred dollars--"
He broke off, forgetful of his own

• SEED CORN
Safficient Horne Grown Seed Avail-
able,
A.s a result of the very favorable
weather and the improved situation
in regard to the corn borer in 1930,
Southwestern Ontario is offering this
spring large quantities of seed corn
of ,exCellent quality. Official tests
have already revealed particularly
high germinating power, some sam-
ples running as high as 98 to 100 per
cent.
Regulations controlling the ship-
ment of seed corn have been modi-
ifed and this spring any growers or
dealers in old Ontario and Quebec
may purchase theirrequirements and
have same delivered on the cob as
was the custom previous to the corn
borer trouble.
Seed corn grown and matured in
Ontario is better adapted to Ontario
conditons when used either for grain
or ensilage purposes than is the seed
corn imported from sections where
the growing season is longer and
where larger types of corn prevail.
Experience has proved that varieties

In t885, Dr. Caldwell made a dis-
zovery for which elderly people the
world over praise hini today!
Years of practice convinced him
that many people were endangering
heir health by .a careless choice ef
!axatives. So he began a search for
a harmless prescription which would
be thoroughly effective, yet would
neither gripe nor form any habit. At
last he found it.
Over and over he wrote it, when
he found people bilious, headachy, out
of sorts, weak or feverish; whh
coated tongtte, bad breath, no appeti-s
or energy. It relieved the most
obstinate cases, and yet was gold

• A Farming Journal
An example which might well be
followed in other counties is that of
the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce
in issuing an Agricultural Journal.
The third annual issue has just been
distributed free of charge to 5,000 far-
mers in the county. It is an eight -
page publication and contains a
wealth of information relating to the
farming industry. Almost every
phase of agriculture as carried on in
this county is discussed, such as poul-
try -breeding, reforestation,. tobacco -
raising, fertilizers, fruit and veget-
able -growing. It also carries several
informative articles by 0. A. C. au-
thorities, Numerous pictures of local
interest are used to brighten the
pages. The local agricultural repre-
sentative, F. C. Paterson, who is also
secretary of the Chamber of Com-
merce, has been largely responsible
for the success of this valuable pub-
lication.
Uurges Distinctive Mark
"Ontario growers, co-operating
with the Ontario Government in
packing apples for export, have made
a wonderful irnpnession upon the ex-
port market this season." writes An-
drew Fulton, special overseas fruit
representative. He continues: "The
adoption of a uniform standard of
color and quality which has been
maintained throughout the season has
been recognized by the buyers. I
would urge, however, that growers,
before another season arrives, care-
fully consider the advisability of elim-
inating the multiplicity of brands
that now exist and to adopt one out-
standing mark by which Ontario ap-
ples may be recognized."
Weekly Crop Report
Naturally at this time of the year
the reports of the agricultural repre-
sentatives throughout Ontario would
deal Fltiefly with seeds and seed
problems. The most recent one
states that seed cleaning activity is
quite pronounced, particularly in
Lanark, where one large plant has
been running to capacity for some
time. In Leeds many enquiries are
being received for seed grain. Win-
ter conditions as reported from Mus-
lcolca and Parry Sound, have been al-
most ideal for new seeding. Hay is
becoming scarce with the baled var-
iety selling for $18 per ton. Ontario
reports a heavy demand for both
seed and sieve material for fanning
mills. Large numbers of Peel Coun-
ty farmers have been turning out for
barn meetings at which agricultural
problems are co-operatively discuss-
ed. In Perth, seed grain is not mov-
ing as briskly as in other counties.
Live stock in Peterboro is in good
condition generally, with feed quite
cheap. The same applies to Prince
Edward. Orchards and fruit bushes
in South Simcoe have wintered well
because of the mild winter and good
'prices are being obtained at sales. In
Welland orchards are receiving a
general clean-up and are in good con-
dition. More alfalfa seed than ever
before is reported by Wellington.
Should Check Fertilizer
This is the season for buying fer-
tilizers and it is important that far-
mers should kaow how to protect
themselves in making sure that they
are delivered the kind and analysis
of fertilizer which • they purchase.
The Federal fertilizers act requires
that. every 'fertilizer delivered to a
farmer must be labelled with the
guaranteed analysis in terms of ni-
trogen, phosphoric acid and potash.
Therefore the farmer should check
the guaranteed analysis of the fertil-
izer when it arrives. If short one
per cent. nitrogen, it is worth about
$2.50 a ton less than the purchase
price and phosphoric acid and potash
are worth about $1. for each per cent. -
Purchasers are advised to refuse ac-
ceptance of fertilizer which is not la-
belled precisely the same guaranteed
analysis as that purchased. Should
any farmer have reason to doubt the
value of a fertilizer delivered to him,
he is advised to communicate with
the nearest fertilizer inspector or the
district representative of agricultare.
Sow Clean Seed
A. recent survey shows that weeds
were responsible for a total loss of
between 150 and 200 million dollars
in Canada last year. The direct loss
in crop actually displaced or killed
out by weeds was over one hundred
millions, while the remainder was
made up of freight charges for carry-
ing weed steeds along with grain, clo-

depreciation of farm value due to the
weeds and the increase in cultivation
necessary where these soil robbers
were present, To mitigate this loss,
the land must be cleaned up. Care-
ful pre -seeding cultivation will clean
up ordinary fields, while partial sum-
mer fallow and the sowing of smoth-
er crops like buckwheat, rape and tur-
ver and other crops, loss of moisture, nips are recommended for very bad
patches of such tenacious weeds as
twitch and sow thistle. A clean seed
bed, plus clean clover seed and clean
seed grain of a high standard of pur-
ity and germination, will give a big
increase in yield over the other kind
at practically no move cost. Only
clean plump, vigorous seed, tested
and approved by Government author-
ities, should be used.
