Phone 324 - Plattsmouth GUIDE PICTURES DEATH BATTLE OF TWO DEER RED LODGE. Mont. (UP) A bat tle to the death between two buck deer, near the Red Lodge-Cooke City highway to Yellowstone Park, was described by "Pack Saddle" Ben Grcenough, veteran Beartopth moun tain guide and rancher. The deer, thrashing about in the underbrush, their horns locked, first were seen by Bill Greenough, a fa mous rodeo rider. He immediately summoned his father, Ben, and his two sisters. While the deer battled, a noose was thrown about their interlocked horns, but attempts to part them were unsuccessful. They exchanged j blows with their sharp hooves, and twisted and shook their interlocked antlers, striving to get in the death blow. One buck, older than its opponent, became exhausted, and sank to the ground. It was quickly killed by the pawing hooves of the conqueror, who stood with lowered head, its horns still locked w ith those, of the foe. Usual fate, Greenough said, of the winner of a forest battle is starva tion, because the animal is unable to free itself from the victim. The Greenoughs freed the young er buck, however, and it trotted into the forest without a backward glance. The Greenoughs plan to have the seven-point head of the victim mount ed for their collection. RELIEF CLIENT PAYS IN FULL TO EASE PRIDE LARAMIE, Wyo.

With Cass county farmers begin ning to think already about spring plantings of crops, attention is in creasing on the available supply of c?eds of various kinds and prospec tive prices. The situation is unfavor able as it relates to some crops and favorable for other crop seeds. There apparently is a good supply of sorghum seed. Prices are reason able. Even certified seed of such superior varieties as Atlas Sorgo is selling at prices about half of those of last year. Legume seed supplies in general though are short. Prices are high. Alfalfa seed is the highest in 18 years with a very limited supply of good northern grown adapted seed. The fact that southwestern states harvested a fairly good seed crop does not materially help "the situation here since the seed of southern origin is not adapted to growing conditions i:i northern states. With the seed shortage and high prices, Cass county farmers will do well to be on the lookout for un adapted seed such as comes from the south. Also for imported seed, adap tation of which is questionable. The imported seed though ii easy to re cognize because of staining require ments. Red clover, white clover and alsike clover seed prices are very high also. Supplies of sweet clover reed are somewhat more plentiful this year but prices will be high because of the shortage of other legume soeds. (Many farmers will probably use sweet clover where normally they would plant alfalfa. Grass seed supplies are In general more plentiful than for several years. The supply of bluegrass is unusually i erood and the price relatively low. Bromgrass seed, the most highly recommended grass for Nebraska pas ture purpeses, is not plentiful but in sympathy with the lower prices of other grass seeds, the price is ma- the lower grass seed prices, there will undoubtedly be -a tendency among farmers to use more grass seed in their mixtures r.nd relatively less legumes than they would ordinarily.
