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

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 In
practically new branch of agricul-
ture In Colorado. II 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 5 cents a pound. while the
Mexican bean is retailed in Kansas at
two pounds for 25 cents.
]. G. Wills, a rancher OF ArriDa, has
seventy-five acres of beans planted on
his ranch in Lincoln county. He re-
ports that since planting 1,100 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 a 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 viii make a
total OF s7.5OO pounds for the entire
seventy-five acres which, retailing at
the low price of 5 cents a pound, will
mean return of s1.S75. He estimates
his cost as follows: Cost of seed, $50 ;
planting. labor, s3S; harvesting and
threshing. 5000: making total of
s2Ss. His profit on the seasons crop
Will amount to about s1,50o. 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 1t makes one OF
the best crops grown here.

Never punish child in anger.

connection between the offense and
the penalty that is imposed.
Never administer excessive or un-

violent cramp? One is tempted to
ask whether the expert knows any chill
dren, and whether he has tried out the
methods he recommends. 1t would
take q child of an unusually docile
and fiabby mind to accept the doctrine
that the pain was the consequence of
disobedience, and child as soft as
that is really no problem at all.
If we are concerned, in the supposed
case, with teaching the child to refrain
from food between meals, we should
see that he has plenty of wholesome
food for each meal, and that the meals
come with sufficient frequency. We
should see to 1t that he is spared the
temptation to eat when he should not
eat, and we should cultivate In him an
effective faith in our Judgment as to
the best time for eating. But If we are
concerned with making the child obey
the proposed method will be equally
ineffective-or inefficient" If you like.

can get from the association between

lesson to avoid getting caught.
