IRRIGATION FOR SOY BEANS

seed should be secured or a larger
amount In proportion to the quality

The iced bed should be in the best
condition, for the sprouts of soy beans
are very tender and any obstacles
such as Jumps, stones or crust on the
surface Of the ground will materially
impede the growth. Seed should be
planted from one inch to one and one
half inches deep in the heavier soils,
n two to two and one-half inches
deep in sandy soils. Water should be
applied before planting, so that a
crust will not form after the seed has
beer planted. This is important.
Soy beans may be planted In rows
two and one-half to three feet apart,
or may be drilled or b~roadcasted,
writes Rev. e. Willard in the Indiana
Farmer. Planting In rows and cult
waiting will give the best result in seed,
but for feeding purposes, the entire
ground may be covered. When plant.

acre will give good results. II planted

as soon as the soil is dry enough after

The soy bean plant is a legume, and
Is therefore a nitrogen gatherer for
he's soil. If properly handled 1t should
leave the soil In better condition than
before. This is particularly true of
sandy soil, which is generally true OF
what deficient in nitrogen. The crop
usually does well on the higher soils
as compared with the heavier soils.
Soy beans mature In from 80 to lis
days. They may be planted at any
time after the danger of the last kill

R. T. Maxim, a lineman in the

on Monday struck with 10000 volts
OF electricity, hurled 35 feet to

The City of Blackfoot has for
the past two weeks suffered from
an epidemic of measles in a very
malignant form. The cases are all
of an unusually severe form, and
of a type that often develops into
other very dangerous diseases.
Blackfoot doctors and the state
board of health have decided that
stringent measures are necessary to
check the trouble, and a strict quar-
antine is being maintained. which,
will, it is thought, e~ffecutally stop
the spread of the disease.
