FIELD BEANS AS CASH CR0F
Can Be Harvested. Stored and
Threshed Out in Winter When
There Is Little Else to Do.

The New Hampshire department of
agronomy has sent out ieafiet call
ing attention to the possibility OF add.
ing field beans to the limited number
of cash crops of that state. The rea-
sons given are:
Beans work into the rotation as a
cultivated crop.
They are legumes. and therefore
do not exhaust the soil of its nitrogen.
They will always sell for cash.
They can be harvested, stored and
threshed out to be sold in winter
when there is little profitable work
to do on the farm.
While beans will sometimes make q
crop on pretty poor land, they viii do
better on good land. Where an old
held is foul with witch grass, the sod
should be subdued and got rid of its
weeds before planting it to beans.
In general way. beans will do well
on soils which are not quite rich
enough for good crop OF corn. They
thrive we'll on sandy loans, loans
and clay loans. The straw is better
coughage than most hays. 1t is bet
fer than corn stover, but not quite as
good as clover hay. Those VINO throw
away bean straw or burn it are over
looking a good source of gains for
the live stock.

TO KILL OFF GRAssHoPPERs
Burning Over Grass Lands Is Some
times Practlcal-Poison Bran
Mash ls Also Effective.

CBy A. L. LOvETT, Oregon Experimen
Station.)
Grasshoppers feed normally on the
native grasses. Where forage crops
are planted. the hoppers readily adapt
themselves to the new food If an
abundance of young hoppers is OBJ
served in the spring, the fields and
grasslands where they occur should
be dragged with a hopper-dozer. This
hopper-dozer is a long, shallow gal.
vanized or wooden trough. which is
filled with crude oil and along the
back side is fitted back stop about
three feet high. When 1t is dragged
through the field, the hoppers attempt
to jump over 1t. They strike against
the back stop and fall into the crude

Burning over the grass lands be

sometimes. practical
The poison bran mash is an effec
tive poison for grasshoppers. and has
been used successfully for their con
troll in great number of cases. Be
sure to add the salt, since grasshop-
pers appear especially fond of this

WHY PRINCE ALBERT WINS
Patented Process Is Responsible for
Its international Popularity

Smokers SO much appreciate the flavor
and coolness and aroma of Prince Albert
pipe and cigarette tobacco that they often
marvel that this one brand could De so
different from all others.
The answer to this question is to be
found on the reverse side Of every Prince
Albert package, where you will read:
process Patented July 5oth, 1907"
That tells the whole story. Prince Albert
is made by a patented process that cuts
out the bite and parch, which makes the
tobacco so mighty agreeable and satisfy
ing to men of every taste of every civil
lized nation on the globe.
Smokers should realize that this pat
ented process cost three years continu-
Gus work and study and a fortune IN
money to perfect. But the result has
proven to be worth all that was expend :
ed upon it, because 1t has set free men
who believed they never could eaioy a
pipe or nakin's cigarette.
Prince Albert makes it possible for
every man to smoke pipe or to roll his
own cigarettes. And. no matter how
tender the tongue. Prince Albert cannot
bite or parch. That is cut out by the
patented process. leaving for the smoker
only the joys of the fragrant tobacco.
1t is fact that since Prince Albert
arrived just about SIX years ago, it
has made three men smoke pipes where
one smoked a pipe before

Washington, Nov. THE United

have been dropped by German Yep

French aeroplanes in Germany. The
difference between this and all other

point at which others explode IL al

Existing aerial bombs are Of two
ktnds-one that explodes on contact,
the other timed with a fuse to e1-
plode in the air. The trouble with
the former is that its high explosive
has a tendency on impact with tho
earth to blow downward instead Of
laterally, thus creating great cavity
little damage.
The trouble with the second Is that
its accuracy depends upon the avi-
ators calculations as to his altitude,
and also that it is impossible to set q
time fuse to minute fractions Of .
second. A bomb dropped from .
height Of 5000 feet is travelling at
from 400 to 500 feet second when
1t reaches the ground, 30 an error Of
calculation would allow the bomb to
explode either forty or fifty feet in
the air or At q considerable depth
below the ground.
This new American bomb OVER
comes both Of these difficulties, for n
always explodes between five and st1
feet from the ground. And It does
not matter from what height It 10
dropped. Nor has the aviator to
make any calculations. He need not

he has to do is to lot the bomb fall:

WALTON PLEADS
GUILTY TO PAY
CAR ROBBERY
Daylight Eoldup of Bur-
roughs Car Was Sensa-
tional Crime.

Detroit, Mich. Nov. 1.-James
Walton, confessed leader of the gang
that held up and robbed pay car OF
the Burroughs Adding Machine COM
pany Of $4,000 here August 4, re-
peated in recorders court, the plea or
guilty he entered earlier in police
court He was remanded to the county
Jail to await sentence
The robbery of the Burrouxs pay
car August 4, was ono Of the most
daring and successful crimes Of its
kind ever perpetrated In Detroit, and
was accomplished despite extraordin-
aTy precautions taken by the Bur
roushs company to guard against Just
such occurrences.
guards were stationed every half
block from the bank to the Bur
roughs plant, four or i've men in q
small touring car, stopped the pay
car within half a block Of the COM
pany's plant. and worked with such
rapidly that within less than three
minutes they had transferred to their
own machine five cash boxes contain
ing more than $4,000 and escaped.
er, who hurried up to the pay car
when It was stopped. was shot and
slightly wounded by one OF the ban
dts. Hundreds Of persons who saw
the affair, watched fts consummation
in the belief that they were witnessing
the filming Of a photo play.
A hunt for the bandits was fnnmedi-
county surrounding Detroit, nearly a
score OF automobiles loaded with
policemen ana deputy sheriff., heav-
lily armed. taking part. After search
ing along every highway leading out
Of the city for nearly SO hours, the
officers gave up the chase. and de-
tectives were assigned to the case.
It was at first thought the bandits
had dashed out a highway leading to
Lansing and Grand Rapids, Mich,
and at one time they were believed to
have been cornered between Now and
South Lyons, about 80 miles from the
city. It later developed. however,
that the robbers remained near the
scene Of the holdup for moro than a
week.
During the night and day following
the crime. vague reports were re-
ceived from several villages and towns
throughout the lower part of the state,
telling Of small automobiles racing
through at high speed. These re-
ports were all traced, but none de-
veloped anything tangible.
The first positive development came
August II, when a Detroit newspaper
printed statement by a girl stem
ographer, declaring that on the night
Of August 4, two trunks which she
later learned contained the stolen
money, were brought to her rooming
house, short distance from the place
Of the robbery. The trunks were kept
there one night, It was stated. and
then removed to another rooming
house nearby. After being kept at
the latter place for week. they were
ia ken to third house, and from
here were traced to a Detroit freight
depot The trail then led, the police
said. to st. Louis, and Dallas. Tex.
Investigations conducted in st.
Louis and Dallas finally led to the
arrest of James Walton. who con-
fessed, the authorities Of the latter
,ity said, that he and three other men
slanned the robbery.
