Canadian Press OTTAWA, Oct. 28. Prime Minister Mackenzie King has completed hia Cabinet slate and Hon. James G. Gardiner will come to Ottawa from the heart of the Prairies to assume the portfolio of Federal minister of agriculture.

The post was left vacant when Mr. King had his other chosen colleagues sworn in last Wednesday night. At the time, however, Mr. King explained he hoped the Saskatchewan Premier would be in a position to accept his offer to come into the greater political arena. The Prime Minister in announcing last night Mr.

Gardiner's appointment made public the text of an interchange of telegrams Saturday. In his wire, Mr. Gardiner said after consultation he had the unanimous consent and backing of his constituency caucus and Liberal executive of the Province to accept the Prime Minister's invitation to join his Cabinet. FOUR MENTIONED AS SUCCESSORS Winter made another onslaught on Saskatchewan today, with a mild blizzard reported in numerous places and snow general in the Province. The snow was light in northern parts of Saskatchewan but two inches fell in districts south of Saskatoon.

Prince Albert experienced snow and a heavy frost during the night. The wintry weather was not confined to Saskatchewan. Temperatures dropped rapidly in Alberta as a raging snowstorm was swept up on a chilly wind from the Rocky Mountains. Six inches of snow fell in Calgary and there was no sign of a let-up. It was only 11 degrees above zero there.

Other Alberta cities lay under blankets of snow two inches-deep. The coldest spot in Manitoba was Fort Churchill, where the temperature went to two degrees above zero. I to hew season low in Edmonton ment, I shall be pleased If you will arrange to be In Ottawa at the earliest convenient date. May I add that I warmly reciprocate towards yourself, the confidence expressed by your acceptance of my invitation to become a member of the new Liberal Administration." Acceptance of the Federal portfolio by Mr. Gardiner focusses attention on the selection of a new party leader to assume the premiership.

Theoretically this Is the task of the Liberal council, the highest authority of the Liberal party in Saskatchewan. Actually the Liberal caucus of members of the Legislature will hold the key position, as the only man that can become Premier is the man who can command a majority on the floor of the House. For that reason it is deemed likely that the caucus will make a recommendation to the council and It is considered doubtful that the council would attempt to override the recommendation of caucus. Saskatoon Liberals will have 11 representatives in Regina on Thursday for the party caucus at which a new party leader for Saskatchewan to succeed Hon. J.

G. Gardiner, new Federal minister of agriculture, will be named. Some 228 from all parts of the Province will attend the gathering Saskatoon's representatives will Include: Dr. A. MacG.

Young, M.P.-elect; Hon. J. W. Estey, K.C., minister of education, and G. W.

Next Monday morning Coroner R. L. King, M.D., will open the inquest at Leask and it is expected 37 witnesses will be heard, with the inquiry likely to last three or four days. HEAD SMASHED Fouquette, whose battered body was found back of Matthew's hardware store, was struck down, It is believed, by two assailants who wielded heavy Iron bars. Although lacking confirmation it hag been reported that police have in their possession a weapon which they believe may have been used.

But progress on the case has been slow and after three months' Investigation detectives on the murder case, the first in the history of the Leask district, are reported baffled. They are known to have remarked: "It is a complete mystery und difficulty in getting those questioned to tell the truth is not helping much." Fouquette, whose skull was literally battered in by the savagery of the attack, had returned to Leask late Saturday night, July 27, from Saskatoon. He was seen about 12.45 a.m., July 28, and an hour later his body was found. Involved in domestic trouble! witn nis wife and family, trouble which culminated In court action, Fouquette lived by himself on his farm five miles west of Leask. Three months previous to the murder.

Mrs. Fouquette had reported she was the target for an assassin's bullet but investigation failed to bring to light the culprit. The inquiry is in the hands of Detective Sergeant J. Woods, Prince Albert R.C.M.P., and Corporal E. J.

DesRoslers of the same detachment. Evidence at the Inquest will also be given by Dr. Frances McGill, provincial pathologist, who has played a prominent part In practically every murder in this Province in the last 10 years.

Jury Tries Car Driver Death of Medstead Man In August Echoes in Criminal Court By a Staff Correspondent BATTLEFORD, Oct. 28. Charged with manslaughter arising from the August death of Dr. D. G.

Cameron of Medstead, Eng-bert K. Lund, a Birch Lake truck driver pleaded not guilty before Mr. Justice Knowles and a jury in Court of King's Bench here this morning. DYING MAN LEFT? In a lengthy outlining of the case for thte Crown, W. L.

Clink voiced the theory that the Medstead doctor met death when his car overturned on the highway, and that the truck driven by the accused was implicated in the accident. He also believed that the truck driver left the dying man pinned underneath his car and disappeared. Hints of drinking were referred to by the Crown. In the circumstantial evidence which will be adduced, the Crown seeks to prove that the truck windshield was broken at the point of accident, that the truck stopped, that efforts were made to gather up the fragments of broken glass and that in doing so fragments of glass from Doctor Cameron's car were picked up. The Crown further alleges that the glass picked up from the scene of the accident was "planted" in a bluff three miles away, where it was found -by -a -girl and her teacher going to school later.

The law firm of Sallows and Linkletter is appearing for the accused. Wickland Is Head Of Bridge Society Succeeds McLorg in Presidency; Busy Card Season Looms for Members O. H.

RECOMMEND U.S. GRAIN The new wheat from Minnesota, Thatcher, bred for rust resistance, was commended. This wheat has already been licensed for use In Canada. The meeting was held under the chairmanship of Dr. R.

Newton, director of the division of biology of the National Research Council, Ottawa. Others present were: Dr. K. W. Neatby and Dr.

G. Mc-Calla, University of Alberta; President W. C. Murray, Dr. W.

DISCUSS RESISTANTS The meeting was a Joint conference of the plant breeders and cereal chemists collaborating with tho associate committees on grain research and cereal diseases. They had under discussion the characteristic of the new rust-resistant wheat varieties produced by tho plant breeders of Western Canada, as well as the variety "Thatcher," which was introduced from the United States. The general suitability of these varieties for western farming conditions, Including such factors as yield, strength of straw, earliness, resistance to disease, as well as the milling and baking quality were critically examined. Several of these varieties were found, In the extensive tests which wers carried out, to be not only rust resistant but desirable from the standpoint of yield and quality. TO SPEED PRODUCTION In order to ensure the most rapid propagation of this valuable material, it was decided that it will be increased in 1936 exclusively under the control of the originators.

In order to speed up the multiplication of the material and to safeguard and to provide against loss through drouth, arrangements are being made to have a considerable amount grown on irrigated land at the Dominion Experimental Station, Leth-bridge, Alberta. Among these promising new wheats is one bearing the name "Thatcher," introduced by the University of Minnesota. This wheat has already been licensed for sale in Canada and a considerable quantity will be distributed by tho provincial department of agriculture of Manitoba and by certain other agencies. In view of the situation, the com-mitteo thought It desirable to make a statement with regard to the general characteristics of Thatcher wheat. The statement reveals that this wheat ripens two to three days earlier than Marquis and has very strong straw which Is slightly shorter than that of Marquis.

With regard to rust resistance, Thatcher is described by the Minnesota experimental station as moderately resistant. IMMUNE TO LOOSE SMUT In some seasons It shows ns much as 40 to 50 per cent rust. Thatcher wheat is almost completely susceptible to leaf rust and covered smut, but la practically immune to loose smut. In his con nection it is of interest that the rust resistant wheats produced in Canada are more constant in the'' resistance. So far, however, ta rust infections on Thatcher wbda havo not appreciably affectedThe yield.
