What was described by Judge Cos-
teIlo as "one of those beats cases that
have been dodging the courts all last
fall and during the past winter" was
aired in a special session of division
court at Goderich on Monday after-
noon. Thomas O'Rourke, Stephen
township farmer, sued Cook Bros.
Milling Co. of Hensen for 4194.20,
the amount held back by Cook Bros.

ing; delivery of tine remainder of the
beans, which has never been made.
Judge Costello reserved judgment
pending receipt of the written argu-
ment

tiff and J. W. Morley for defendants.
This is to be submitted before the
end of the month. His honor promis-

time after O'Rourke sold his beans at
41,01 a bushel—a few days, in fact—
beans began to rise in price with the
outbreak of war and went as high as
42.75 per bushel. Charging misrepre-
sentation and fraud, the plaintiff,
Thomas O'Rourke, testified that on
August 29 of last year he was visited
by Donald McKinnon; grain -buyer for
Cook Bros., who sought to purchase
twenty acres of beans then in crop.
O'Rourke said he told McKinnon he
could sell only ten acres, the remain-
ing ten acres being the property of
his brother. The deal was then made

McKinnon at 5110 bushels. "He told

evidence. He admitted he sold his
share of the beaus. 305 bushels, M.

ous places on August 29, four days
before Poland was invaded, to en-
deavor to purchase beaus from gann-
ets, but that O'Rourke was the only
one be signed up. He denied that
plaintiff had said his brother owned
half the farm, bequeathed. them by
their parents, and that the two

Successful Farmers know the value of modern scientific

Phosphate is a primary need of select Spring sown grains
and tests have also shown that fertilized pasture lands
provide more cheap feed than any other crop.
Why pay out good money for select seeds and neglect to
