SOY BEAN PROVES
FWE-IN-ONE CROP

The soy bean will grow on acid and
sandy soils.
It gathers nitrogen from air as does
clover
The plants of this noted legume are
unusually resistant to heat, drought
and frost
1t substitutes as a catch crop where
corn or clover fail.
These are some of the reasons why
the soy bean is popular with very
many Wisconsin farmers.
This "f1ve-in-one" crop has the fol-
lowing five uses For the production
of seed it yields a concentrated food
of equal feeding value with cotton
seed meal, or linseed meal. When
properly cured it makes a hay rel
ished by all the farm stock. AS pas
ture feed, it is highly recommended
by hog raisers. When grown with
corn this crop adds protein to the 81.
lage. Grown and turned under as
green manure it not only adds or
ganic matter to the soil, but nitrogen
as we'll.
All ordinary soils are suited to the
growth of soy beans. Since these
plants stand drought, they are well
adapted to the light sandy soils and
packpine lands of Wisconsin and will
do well even in years when clovers
fail. The crop fourishes on new lands,
and acid soils.
Where the crop is being introduced
it is necessary to inoculate the soil
with bacteria from some field where
soy beans have been grown, or with
pure cultures of bacteria from a relia-
BILE dealer The agricultural expert
ment station has arranged to supply
farmers in the state with soil for this
purpose, at the cost of sack and trans
portation.
For soy beans the soil is prepared
as for a corn crop, and the beans
drilled in, using bean plates in the
corn planter, or the grain drill, with
some of the spouts stopped. When
grown for seed the distance between
rows is about 80 inches For hay the
beans may be planted closer, or even
sown broadcast.
Before sowing allow the soil to
warm up. Good hay crops have been
secured from paintings as late as
June Is. When seed is to be pro-
duced, the planting is done in corn
planting season. Where the seasons
are short, only the early maturing
northern-grown seed is planted
Shallow cultivation, as for corn, is
practiced to keep weeds down.

tatoes be grown in soil kept free from
potato diseases by rotation, and fer
tilted not with fresh barn manure
but with well-rotted manure, or a
green crop turned under; that the
seed be selected from a pedigreed va
riety that has produced good pota-
toes year after year; that proper Gull
tivation, and prompt spraying have
been practiced; and that the few culls
that will get in anyway have been left
at home to be used for feed.
In spraying, promptness is the
watchword. AS soon as the eggs Of
the first potato bug" hatch paris
green and lime in water, or equal
parts of dry paris green and air
slaked lime are applied. If this does
not stop the potato bugs" or Colo
RADIO beetle, a second application may
be needed. The insects and blights
that come later in the summer how
ever, may be controlled with bordeaux
mixture and arsenate of lead.
For this purpose the bordeaux is
made as follows: Stake five pounds of
fresh lime in % gallons of water, and
dissolve five pounds of copper sui
plate (blue stone) in a separate Is
gallons of water Strain these two
solutions into 50-gallon barrel and
mix by stirring. Add two or three
pounds of paris green; or three
pounds of lead arsenate; use at once.
Spraying with this mixture begins
about two weeks after the application
Of paris green and lime, or about the
middle of summer.

If smooth, clean potatoes are to be
delivered to buyers this year, one OF
the first things to do is to spray.
The buyers next fall will pay more
for potatoes grown upon vines which
will have been sprayed this summer
Spraying helps to produce smooth po-
tatoes of uniform shape.

Dodgeville Sun Republics: Will
Thomas of Ridgeway is carrying his arm
in sling as the result of an accident in
putting up woven wire fence. In
manipulating the stretcher in the
stretching of span of woven wire the
catch on the stretcher slipped and
allowed the lever to fly back hitting
him severe blow on the fore arm,
breaking one of the bones just below
the elbow. Not only was the bone
broken but the muscle was badly
bruised making very painful injury.

The Richland Democrat: By actual
count, fifty four commercial travellers
arrived in this city on the evening train
of Wednesday last. And the question
naturally arises in the minds of many,
what do they do here? They certainly
did not come visiting, there was no con-
vention to bring them here and the only
attraction is business-and they must
do the business or they would not come

Mr.. Delano explained that under the
federal law at present there is no au-
thoriZa ton for the formation of an avi-
alton regiment and that therefore his
organization is provisional body. He
says efforts will be made to have the
next congress authorize the First Avi-

the ultimate purpose of the Mill
tary federation. The federation also
plans a propaganda to urge upon con-

He expects a membership of $4,000 in

he plans the establishment Of the hun

alton easier and safer in all parts Of
the country.
About three years ago Mr.. Delano at
tempted the formation Of a similar or
ganization. which lapsed into desue-
tude. Mr.. Delano credits this to cir
cumstances over which he had no con-
troll, and says that now, with the awak-

Kansas Infantry.

Hiawatha, Kan, Dec IA scatter
ed handful of blue clad veterans gath
cred at Hiawatha today for the annual
reunion of the Thirteenth Kansas in
fantry of the Civil war. Less than
fifty of the fifteen hundred who
fought the decisive battle of Prairie
Grove, Ark, responded as their names
were called.
No formal routine of business was
planned for the reunion Those in
charge declared life was TOO short for
the remaining members of the brave
regiment to spend a good part of the
valuable time in routine and the meet
ing was declared informal in every
respect, the time being devoted to the
telling of stories of war times, the re-
newing of old acquaintance, and, of
course, the fighting all over of the bat
tie of Prairie Grove, the regiments
reunion is set on the anniversary of
the battle which was fought December
Z, 1862.
The Thirteenth Kansas infantry was
recruited largely from Brown, Mar
shall, Nemaha, Donovan and Atchison
counties, northern Kansas. The colo
mel of the organization was Colonel
Tom" Bowen of Marysville, Kan.
devoted largely to patrolling the
southern borders of Missouri and
Kansas with the view of keeping Mis-

ganization deported itself with great
credit. The battle of its career was
that of Prairie Grove in which the
Federal troops under General J. G.
Blunt were opposed by the Confeder-
ates, commanded by General Thomas
Hindman. The fight lasted all day
but the Confederates withdrew under
cover of night with 1875 men killed
or missing. The northern forces lost
1881 men either killed, wounded or
taken prisoner
According to statistics furnished by
NJ. L. Farhardt, secretary of the or
ganization, now living in Kansas, there
are but about fifty survivors of the
roll. ThiFty-five of these live
in Kansas and Missouri while the re-
fifteen are scattered widely
over the Union.
The organization was not formed
until six years ago, for until that time
it was believed that all but two or
three of the regiment had died. A
canvass then was made and the few
remaining members of the once proud
regiment were located.

number of school rooms in Topeka.
superintendent H. B. Wilson has
asked Isaiah Hale. commissioner of
safety for the Santa F'e railway, for a
supply of these bulletins. They are
being placed in passenger station
waiting rooms, round houses, freight
depots and shops, giving information
the United States last year. The bull
letin says:
You ought to be interested in
knowing that of the 10,302 people
killed on the steam railroads of the
United States during last year 5,4?1,
or SO per cent, were treSpassers--
people who were using the railroad
right of way as a thoroughfare or
Playground; men and boys attempting
to board trains, women with or with
out children walking on or across
and from school, as shortcut to
town, picking up coal, ETC., and not
one of them had any business or
right to be where he was when killed.
Besides the 5,471 killed, there
were 1854 additional trespassers in
jured, a total of 11,S25 trespassers
killed or injured in one year as the
price of their self-assumed right to
trespass on railroad property if they
killed every day; one every ninety
minutes. Unless you heed this warn
ing, you may be one of the sixteen
tomorrow.
Three children under fourteen
years old are killed every day. Unless
parents know that their children keep
away from railroad tracks and yards,
