CROWS MEXICAN BEANS.
NEW BRANCH OF AGRICULTURE
IN COLORADO.
Expected to Give the Largest Yield
Of Any Of the States Many
Valuable Products.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Among the best crops of
Colorado's harvest this fall will be the
Mexican bean, according to reports
received from the rural sections of
the state. AS the summer has been
an exceptionally dry one, the bean,
which is the hardest crop raised in
this state, probably will give the larg-
est yield per acre of any crop.
The raising of the Mexican bean is
practically new branch of agricul-
ture in Colorado. 1t has been known
for some time that the soil and eli
mate of eastern Colorado are particu-
larly adapted to the culture of this
crop, but growers have been wary of
planting beans on account of the low
market price in this state. The price
offered by eastern Colorado dealers is
only 4 or cents pound, while the
Mexican bean is retailed in Kansas at
two pounds for 25 cents.
j. G. Wills, rancher of Arriba, has
seventy-five acres of beans planted on
his ranch in Lincoln county. He re-
ports that since planting LOO pounds
of seed in June, he has not had to pay
any attention to the crop in the way
of labor. Although the plants suffered
from drought for a month and half
two heavy rainfalls in the middle of
July brought out the pods, and the
crop improved Immediately.
After the beans are harvested Mr.
Wills expects to get 500 pounds per
acre from his crop. This will make
total of 1880 pounds for the entire
seventy-five acres which, retailing at
the low price of cents a pound will
mean a return of $1,S75. He estimates
his cost as follows: Cost of seed, $50;
planting, labor, $3S; harvesting and
threshing, 5000; making a total of
$2SS. His profit on the seasons crop
will amount to about $1,000. At the
present time the production of the
Mexican bean is rather small in this
state, but farmers who have had expe
rience with it say that it makes one of
the best crops grown here.

LONDON. July 12.-Q0:25 D. m.)- The Anglo-French offensive is main taining Itself as rigoIously as ever against the most determined attacks. which Germans are now delivering against the front in northern France. The Germans have thrown reinforce ments into the breach, having had ample time to recover from the first shock and the unexpected strength of the British and French attacks. There is no doubt the Germans had sup posed the French to be enfeebled greatly south of the Somme because of the number of troops needed in the defense of Verdun against the forces of the Crown Prince. The fact that the allies are progressing so methodically and even against Ger man attacks gives the people of the British and French nations the great est joy.

MATAWAN, N. l., July 12-Lester Stillwell, F years old. was killed by a man-eating shark while bathing in an arm of Rariton Bay near here this afternoon. Stanley Fisher. 24 year old, who went to his aid. was so badly injured in a struggle with the sea monster that he died while being taken to a Long Branch. hospital. Joseph Dunn, F years old. bathing some distance away in the same inlet. was attacked by a shark and one of his legs was so badly lacerated it probably will have to be amputated.
 This is the third time within two weeks that sharks have claimed the lives of bathers along the New Jersey coast.
 Charles F. Vansant, a youth of Philadelphia, was killed by one off Beach Haven. N. J., on July ?. Charles B. Ruder. of Spring Lake. \. J., was attacked and both legs were taken off by a shark on July 6. He died while men who went So his res cue were carrying him ashore.
 A dozen or more boys who also were bathing in the inlet heard Still wells screams for help. Fisher who was standing on the bank went c the rescue. He had only gone few feet when the shark attacked him. tearing a piece out of one thigh.
 In spite of his wound. Fisher caught the boy up in his arms and had start ed for shore when the shark renewed the attack. Burdened as he was Fish CT was helpless and the shark snapped of his leg. Fisher released his hold on Stillwell and himself sank be- meath the surface unconscious. Heed less of the danger a boy sprang into the inlet and dragged Fisher out. No trace Of young Sullwell was found and it is believed he was deyoured by the shark.
 The Dunn boy. according to per sons who were standing on the bank of the inlet. also was attacked soon after going into the water. An elder brother and another boy went 10 his rescue. They succeeded in driving of the shark but not until after the young Dunn's leg had been torn all most to shreds from the knee down. He is expected to recover.
