Raise Soy Beans
BECAUSE

1. They are valuable as hay on
account of their high protein con-
tent.
2. They make an excellent sub
stitute for clover where the latter
has failed to make a catch.
3. They are the most drought re-
sistant legume that can be grown
on sandy land.
4. Their high protein content and
heavy yielding qualities make them
an excellent crop with which to
supply concentrates for dairy ami
mails. On sandy lands where grain
often fails to produce paying
crop and where under best condi-
tons, oats, barley or rye produce
low yields, soy beans yield well.
They are an excellent crop to
grow for green manure.
The demand for soy bean seed is
constantly increasing.
7. When mixed with corn soy
beans improve the quality of en-
silage.
s. On sandy land soy beans are
the only legume hay which will
give a fair yield of hay if sown aft
er June Is.
8. Soy beans do we'll on new
breaking and if intended for hay
may be sown as late as June 90

Did you hang your seed corn on
the windmill over winter? Did you
leave it out in the crib, where it will
mold in wet weather and freeze in
cold? Did you leave it in the sun
light, where the exposed kernels will
be killed?
If you did and intend to plant such
seed, you may bank on harvesting one
of the poorest crops in the neighbor-
hood The germ Of a corn kernel is a
delicate affair The protection which
the starch layers give it is slight. Sun
light, penetrating through the seed
coat, will kill the germ in a few hours.
A very low temperature will kill the
germ in a few minutes. When the
corn becomes wet, the mold spores
which are ever present on the corn,
will start to grow, and will destroy
not only the stored-up food, but the
germ itself
When you hang your seed corn on
the windmill the sunlight reaches it
on all sides and weakens the vitality
of the germs. Then it becomes wet
in every rain, and the mold spores

GOSSIP OF A r E
UNEQUAL Chances.

The stock market yesterday was In
many respects a remarkable one. And
the most remarkable feature Of all was
the manner in which the market took
the sensational news OF the sinking Of
the Leelanaw. The resistance hat je-
veloped on this decline n the heavy
buying on the way down was utterly
unexplainable to most observers until
the real details Of the incident were
made known, which was after the re-
covery had occurred. As far as the
Wall Street news tickers were con-
cerned here was the very worst piece
OF news that could be imagined. There
was no reason for any one to buy stocks
at all. for IL was quite some time be-
fore the details we're published showing
that the German commander had com
piled with all tho rules prescribed by
International law. The details. Of course,

before. And yet the buying on the de-
cline was excellent. Was this buying

case? Reports were heard quite freely

usual action of the market itself cause
for wonder. There was a good deal OF
question whether It did not represent
a big shakeout OF outside spectators

the circumstances in the case which
we're deliberately or accidentally with

There il a good deal OF complaint OF
the manner in which the market in Dis
tillers' stock is being handled. 1t is
pointed out that there Is any number
OF people quite ready to be bullish on
Distillers. but the price OF the stock IS
a distinct handicap. A good deal OF
favorable Information has been given out
in regard to the excellent business that
the company is doing and OF the tremen-
dous Improvement In the company's
financial status. Semi-oficial REPORTS OF
dividend payments in the near future
nave also been heard. But the stock re-
mains below 80. as compared, say, with
American Beet Sugar selling at 81. also
on dividend prospects. There is hardly
a stock on the list on which early diyi-
dends are talked of seriously which Is
selling as low as Distillers. The Street
would like TO know whether this means
that the insiders are picking up stock,

Dissipating the Froth.

1t can easily be understood from the
foregoing results that the market was an
exceedingly exasperating affair for the
average trader. IL was a two sided ar
fair will the tops and bottoms very
hard 10 catch. The swiftness OF the de-
cline and subsequent ecovery did a lot
OF damage to the long position. The'fall
was deadly TO the spectators operating
or stop loss orders and insufficient
margins. OF which there were a large
number. especially In the chief war
brides" 1t was violent enough to wipe
these people out and yet too swift TO
give them a chance to turn around.
Consequently a good many people went
home having lost their position in tho
market and yet seeing prices close at or
wen higher than they left off Saturday.
That the market position Is the s%tronge
for the elimination of the froth repre-
scented by this speculative interest is
of coursc obvious. Every big rise in
prices sooner or later accumulates a
certain amount OF froth OF this kind.
