1t is remarkable fact that no town
grows or prospers without the aid of
live aggressive newspapers. A strang-
er nearly always looks at the papers
of town and if he does not find the
cards of the business and professional
tSmen he concludes that it is a good
place to keep clear from so he goes
elsewhere. Nor can the papers grow
without the assistance of the town.
Everything spent with the newspa-
per helps the town that much
We have one or two inquiries as to
the soy bean. This bean is a native
of Japan, where it is very extensively
grown as heterogeneous food for the
people, where it helps to balance their
daily ration of rice. 1t grows with a
branching, treelike stalk to a height
of two or three feet and bears a small
pod containing a yellow waxy bean,
which will yield from 90 to 30 bushels
per acre. 1t takes about 100 DAYS to
mature the bean from the time of
planting. 1t is richer in protein, both
foliage and the bean, than any other
crop which can be grown in the tenn
perate zone, and as it possesses all the
soil fertilizing qualities of clover it is
a plant which well deserves the atten-
ton of all farmers and stockmen.
Cut green and cured as hay, it will
furnish to any farm the source of
protein which will supplement bran
and oilmeal and enable man to pro-
duce on his own farm a completely
balanced ration for all his stock.
