ADAPTABILITY OF
SOY BEAN CROP
Irregularities of Season Will
Often Cause AftergroWth-
Easily Harvested.

Soy beans are very similar to COW
peas with respect to season of growth
and cultural requirements. Since the
two crops occupy the same place in
crop rotation, it is well to contrast
their adaptability, says bulletin of
the Delaware station.
Soy beans mature uniformly, the
pods ripening practically at the
same time; cowpeas often bear
ripe pods and blossoms on the same
plant Irregularities Of season will
frequently cause an aftergrowth Of
the plant, a condition which does not
obtain with soy beans. This differ
ence in maturing habit is distinctly
in favor of the soy beans, inasmuch
as the latter may be more easily har-
vested for seed or hay than the COW"
peas.
Most varieties of soy beans grow
erect or nearly so; cowpeas are whey
and bear the pods so near the ground
that it is less likely to injure soy
beans-both in the spring and the fall
when nearly mature-than cowpeas,
which are killed by light forsts.
Soy beans are injured less by insect
enemies and plant disease than cow
peas. If cut at the proper stage OF
maturity, soy beans make richer
hay than the cowpeas.

Against Death Penalty.

Akron, - A. Ross Reed, who re.
Gently resigned as state represen.
tative to accept the postmastership
here, has issued pamphlet urging the
abolition of capital punishment in
Ohio, branding it as unconstitutional
and devoid of any element of mercy
The pamphlet has been sent to every
member of the eightieth general as
sembly. Here is a part of Mr.. Reeds
argument:
"The constitution of Ohio says that
no cruel or unusual punishment shall
be inflicted. If capital punishment is
described by any or all of the detini-
tions as cruel as given by Webster,
then it is cruel, and its infiction a
violation of the constitution
The pamphlet points out that mur-
ders per capita are more numerous in
Ohio than in states where capital pun.

urges that the people he given another
opportunity to vote on the proposition.

SAYING THAT IS
WORTH REPEATING
Intelligent Care of Land, Crops
and Animals Is Secret Of
Success in Farming.
(By II. H. SHEPHARDD

This may have been said before, but
it is worth repeating: You cannot get
something for nothing, even at farm
ing, although they say that crops grow
while the farmer sleeps. So do the
weeds, and the animals grow hungry
between night and morning. lntell1-
gent care of land, crops and animals
is the secret of success in farming.
And if anything else should be added,
it is that the farmer must be intensely
in love with his work. He must see
good things in the farming line in all
Of his visions.
Don't simply show your wife and
children money in your pocketbook aft
er making a good sale. That is mean
and wicked They helped to make
that money as we'll as you. Give them
a part of it now to spend in their own
way while you can see them enjoy it,
and perhaps share in their joy. If you
save 1t for the children to spend after
you are dead--you know the rest, but
you won't know it then.
Cement is cheap this year, but with
it and sand and gravel you can make
some of the most valuable things on
the farm. A good rule to make on the
farm is that of building something OF
concrete every fall and spring. By
and by, with little money and labor,
your farm will become substantially
improved, and these improvements will
outlast you and your grandchildren. 1t
is not economy to construct with any
material that Is not efficient and per
manent.
There is one reason at least why
every farmer should own gasoline en-
CINE, and that is that the boys like to
see it work and they learn many good
things from it. The farm boy as rule
takes naturally to machinery, especial,
ly anything that moves and has the
"get up and go'' about it. And the
small gasoline engine has them all
beaten in this line a full country
block. They teach farm mechanics in
the schools, but why not make it pos
sible for the boys to learn some me-
chanics first hand before leaving the
| farm?
About the funniest thing we have
seen lately was city woman wearing
a hobble skirt trying to get in and out
of our farm wagon. The assistance ol
two able-bodied men and one woman
was required in the operation.
City-bred men are moving onto the
farm in real good faith and bouyant
hopes. Some of them will have as
much to learn as the old-tfme farmers
who went to the city few years age
and put nickles into the slots of cable
car tracks. 1t is about an even tie be
tween the city man and the farmer
when it comes to an examination or
general facts in special lines. Neither
scores the one hundred points mark.

Climate and sleep.

Climate has something to do with
the amount Of sleep required bysa man.
In India, for instance, sleep overtaxes
people in the most unexpected mo-
ments. Speaking at a dinner given in
his honor at Simla when he gave up
the post of finance member of the
council, Sir Guy Sleetwood Wilson re-
called his first budget statement be-
fore the council. "The day was alb
normally hot and close, even for Cal
cutta in summer time. Partly owing
to the heat, but partly no doubt ow-
ing to the wearisome effect of my
first attempt at oratory, one by one
every single member present went to
sleep; and it is the simple truth that
after a while actually fell asleep
myself in the course Of the delivery OF
my statement" This surpasses the
feat of the late duke of Devonshire,
who paused in the middle Of his maid.

NBy II. ii. Sf1EH HE1AtNJ.D
One of our neighbors who is an old
time and very successful strawberry
grower advocates a very long season
of growth the first year for the new
plants. He sets out his strawberry
plants as soon in March, or thereafter,
as the ground will do to work.
This man has made his living, and
almost a fortune, by growing straw
berries and other small fruits. His
berries run on the average from S400
to $500 an acre, the entire seasons
product being sold at the local town,
about one mile from his farm. His
berries are always in demand at the
highest prices, because he always
grows good ones.
The secret of his success with straw
berries is in plowing the ground deep
and early, with liberal fertilization in
the form of stable manure. The ma
nure not only furnishes plant foods,
but also adds to the moisture receiv-
ing and holding power of the soil,
which is very important during the
fruiting season, when general condi'
tions are dry.
The land for the strawberries is
manured and plowed late in the fall or
early winter This brings up the deep
soil minerals to be exposed to the
elements during the winter for disin
tegration. During the winter the
plowed ground is given a good dress
ing of stable manure, and this Is fol
lowed in the spring with a light dress
ing of lime or wood ashes. Woot
ashes should be applied just before

Death Victor at Last.

Lima.-Relatives in this city have
just been notified of the death in
Peru, Ind, of James Stewart, former
resident of this county.
Stewart, a few years ago, was pro-
nounced dead In a Toledo hospital.
His body was removed to the cooling
room and an undertaken was preparing
it for embalming when slight twitch
of the arm muscles showed signs Of
life. A year later he suffered another
attack of heart trouble while at his
home near here, and the physician,
after pronouncing him dead, reached
the city to learn that his services were
needed, as the man had revived. The
third and final stroke came at his
home in Peru.

In central and southern latitudes
strawberry plants can be set out from

summer. The earlier they are planted
the more sure are they to live, as at
that time the ground is we'll supplied
with moisture, the days are cool and
new roots soon begin to grow and take
hold of the new soil. With later plant
ing there is too much danger of the
plants suffering for moisture, with
consequent stunting of growth.
But the chief reason for fall plow-
ing of the ground and early setting is
that the plants will have full benefit
of all growing weather from early in
the spring till late in the fall. This
not only insures a deep and strong
root system for the plants, but perfect
branching with solid matter hills or
rows is effected, and large number
of strong buds are formed for the first
crop the following season. The long
season of growth makes large and
strong plants, capable of developing
a very heavy crop of the most perfect
fruit.
