excellent condition for seeding win
ter wheat. The crop is also har-
vested in ample time to permit early
fall seeding.
Beans do not seriously compete
with wheat for labor, and the two
crops can be grown with practically
the same equipment. Approximate
ly $3.50 worth of extra machinery
Is needed to plant, harvest and Gull
tivate from 70 to so acres of beans
instead of cultivating the land as
summer fallow. With the present
wage for man and horse labor it
it requires about S6 more per acre
to grow, harvest, and market crop
of beans than it does to summer
fallow an equal area. Since beans
yield on the average about 800
pounds per acre and sell for cents
per pound, the gross return per acre
is approximately s24. In districts
adapted to bean culture. beans are
therefore approximately S18 per
acre more profitable than summer
fallow.
Generally speaking, the soils of
the bean growing districts are rich
in all of the mineral elements nee
sssary for plant growth. Under
such conditions the maintenance of
soil fertility will depend almost en-
tirely Old keeping up the organic
matter of the soil. This is not
easily accomplished when beans and
cereal crops are grown exclusively.
Stubble should always be plowed
under instead of being burned. The
blowing under of partially decayed
bean and wheat straw will also do
much toward keeping the soil in
productive condition. The decayed
straw should be scattered rather
thinly over the grain stubb1e in the
fall. 1t should be thoroughly worked
into the surface soil with sharp
disk harrow and plowed under as
soon as possible after the first aut-
umn rains. The disking causes
the straw to mix thoroughly with
the soil at the time Of blowing in.
stead Of forming layer in the bot
tom of the furrow.
The arabic land of eastern Wash
ington, eastern Oregon and north
ern Idaho has been devoted almost
exclusively to the production of
wheat, oats, and barley, for more
than 30 years. Because of the in
PRODUCTION of serious weed pests soon
after the land was brought into cul-
tivation, it was found improbable
to: grow a crop of grain each year.
Many of the new settlers had come
from the Willamette Valley, Oregon,
where wheat and oats were grown
by summer following the land every
second or third year. Hence, they
naturally turned to this system of
farmingsas solution of their weed
problem, and the growing of small
grain by the summer-fallow method
is still the general practice among
the farmers of this region. Under
this system of farming from one
third to one-half of the land lies
idle each season.

DANGER IN HANGING TEN AT A TIME

Arizona and the whole country is getting very
much excited about the plans for the execution of
ten criminals ON one day,-December 19,-in the
state prison. Governor Hunt is daily receiving
bushels of letters urging him to prevent the hang
ings and one of his correspondents has gone far
as to threaten him with death if he fails to com
mute the sentences to life imprisonment.
The whole situation presents an interesting sub
jeet for psychological consideration. If the ten
men were to have been put to death at a
time and with few weeks interval between exc
cutions, great outery would have been raised.
The people would have taken it as a matter OF
course in Arizona just as they do in other states
where murderer two is put to death every once
in while; but when the unusual situation arises
where ten men are to be hanged in day, it gets
on the peoples nerves. They think about it so
much that they begin first to ask themselves the
question whether capital punishment is right and
then to convince themselves it is wrong.
In the Arizona case the Governor-athough per-
haps he may have the legal right to grant pardons
communications to the condemned cannot in any
way be justly criticised for letting the law take its
course, for majority of the voters of the state
decreed at the polls recently that the be
hanged 1t might however, be wise if the Governor
were to lend his influence toward having the men
put to death separately with sufficiently long in
tervals between hangngs to calm the inflamed
minds of large part of the Arizona populace.

.Newspaperman's Answer

"Now, sir, don't you know that at
the time the libel in question was ut
tered by Mr.. Wanamaker that the
greatest bitterness was manifest be-
tween the two factions of the Repub-
liean party? That men were ready TO
rend each other in their discussion of
the candidates? That it was the most
violent and bitterest campaign that
was ever waged in Pennsylvania. Don t
You know that2' asked McQuiston,
drawing himself up and tossing back
his Shock of tawny hair, and glaring
at the witness as he waited for his
answer. The witness, newspaper
man, who was perfectly familiar with
all of the conditions such as Mr.. Me-
Quiston described, regarded his ques-
TONER p,aeidly, and then answered in
calm tones: ''Yes, sir; there was a
rumor to that effect
The climax had an instantaneous
effect. The attorneys-the whole bar
was present-the witnesses, and the
spectators burst into roar of laughter
and Judge Wilson ducked his head be-
hind the desk, emerging later with a
face as red as beet, and striving as
best he could to preserve the dignity
of his position. McQuiston did not
press for further information in that
direction.

THE LACK OF REVENUE STAMPS

Although we are told the Bureau Of Engraving
and Printing in Washington is busy day and night
with three eght-hour forces of workmen, yet it is
not turning out the new internal revenue. stamps
which by law went into yesterday, with enough
rapidity to meet the great demand There has
resulted confusion throughout the country. Cities
are sending urgent acquisitions for the necessary
labels to central offices and these offices
cannot get large enough stocks of stamps from the
government bureau to meet the demands.
We need not be so much concerned about the
reason for the scarcity of the stamps The printers
are doing their best in Washington AS soon as
Congress decided on the use of revenue stamps, to
begin December l, work began on engraving the
dies and the printing presses of the bureau have
since been busy turning out quantities of the
stickers. .''.''-''.
What has been of the most concern has been the
fact that the new law requires Internationally the
affxing of the proprietary and documentary stamps
to proprietary articles and commercial papers, be-
ginning yesterday, and provides penalties of fifty
per cent. of the tax for failures to use the stamps
Business men who have made honest efforts to get
supplies of the labels and have been unable to
obtain them have been anxious about the possible
consequences of selling goods or of transferring
commercial papers without the use of stamps.
1t seems that there is no cause for anxiety, how
ever, for the government authorities have now
ruled that in cases where documentary stamps can
not be had, the papers shall go their way after
records made of them, and in like manner that
where proprietary stamps not available articles
shall be sold after being properly noted. When
stamps become plentiful they can be bought to the
required, amounts and Cancelled, thus meeting all
obligations.
One thing is made absolutely certain by the
authorities and that is that the government does
dot intend to prosecute individuals for not using
the revenue stamps when unavailable, so long as
they report to the collectors and keep de-
tailed accounts of their obligations to the govern
ment.

WHEN Is A CHILD?

A whole lot of trouble came about because
city ordinance provides that the Omaha Street
Railway Company shall sell at reduced rates tick
cts to be used by children attending school,
The trouble started when number of university
students of the city recently boarded street car
and forced the conductor to take the reduced rate
tickets in payment of their fares. In justification
of their actions they appeared before the supern-
tendent of transportation and later before the city
attorney and argued their case
That they were attending school the city attorney
could not dispute and that they were children he
could not disprove; for the dictionary was against
him.

Even the Court Laughed

1t was during the trial that an incl
dent occurred that convulsed not only
the spectators but the dignifed court
itself. Mr.. MeQuiston was examining
a Harrisburg witness and was endeav-
oring to get from him an idea of
political conditions that prevailed at
the time Mr.. Wanamaker was alleged
to have made his speech in which Mr..
Robinson alleged he was hbeled. 1t
will be remembered by those who take
an interest in politics that in that cam
paign the contest between Quay and
Wanamaker was most bitter Hardly
a Republican in the State but who was
on one side or the other in the fight,
and it was so intense that men were,
fguratively, at each others throats.
Prosecutions of many kinds grew out
of the contest, and factional war was
at its very height. In the course of his
examination of the witness, Mr.. Nc
