and apndlnf all the money turned
Into a liW. On the marriage of the
daiiish'er of the veteran with th aon
of ivnnoyer. the veteran told I'enno-
ycr Die whole hlntory of tha affair and
aM him a plan of th apot wbera th

When Pennoyef told May the glory
May offered t" g" and get th money
for a phsr In the reatilt. So equipped
with a map and full hlatory of tb
event he r'a'-hed Vera Cnii aad act

crlption given by Pennoyer waa cor-

error In bearlnga that at Drat puttied

but th gnral Ilea waa right and
knoalng the Spanlati tongu perfectly.
May t-an to glean Information from
the Mfidani who lived at th place
lie found one old man who had lived
In tile eame adob hut for yeara and
who remembered distinctly the time

At the clime of tb eaon I will make
an exhaustive report of the test which
will be published In bulletin form. At

yield will be even equal to the average
yield of the other 20 varieties. A few

There Is now no possibility ot any ma-
