soYeEANs IN MARYLAND.

or late a great deal Of interest
in soybeans has been manifested
throughout Maryland. Soybeans are
well adapted to practically all sections
Of Maryland. as far as climate is con
cerned, but thrive best on rich loan
and clay soils. They will not grow as
well as cowpeas on poor, sandy soils,
but are far better than coypeas on
stiif. clay soils. They will also stand
poor drainage better than eowpeas
will. In other words, In those sections
where eowpeas do not grow well, SOY.
beans will be far more satisfactory.
They are also better adapted to the
stiff clay soils in the sections now pro
ducing cowpeas well than the cowpeas
are.
The two important factors to be
taken into consideration in the pro
duction of soybeans are inoculation
and the selection of the proper varie
ties.
Practically all soils in Maryland
must be inOeulated for soybeans il
they have not previously grown soy
beans successfully.
The best varieties for Maryland are
Wilson, Virginia, Ebony. Cloud. Ar
lington, Medium Yellow, Haberlandt,
Hollybrook. Picking and Taba. The
Mammoth Yellow variety is commonly
found on the market but it is one of
the poorest varieties for Maryland ex-
cept where 1t is simply used for a
green manure erop.-Nicholas Schmitz,

sion Service.

GET READY FOR MARYLAND
WEEK.

AT the recent meeting OF the Exec
utive Committee of the Maryland Agri-
cultural Society and affiliated organ
izations, it was decided to hold the
Maryland Week Exhibition this year
from November IA TO IS. 1t is urged
by the committee that local oranges
and farmers clubs begin TO plan at
once for exhibits to the state show.
It points out that members of such
organizations have been in the past
among the most active supporters of
the show. With the passing years this
competition has grown steadily keen.
er and those organizations or individ-
uals that win laurels at this years
show should be hard at work plan
ming for their part in the big affair
There is no better way FOR the local
grange or club to place itself and its
neighborhood on the map than by win
ming a high place in the club exhibit
class. The members who Immediately
after harvest turn their earnest at
tention to planning such an exhibit
are laying the foundation for fruit
full career as the most useful organiza-
tion of their community Neither
should they attempt such an exhibit
without first holding a local show for
the benefit Of their own neighborhood.
In this work the help Of the County
Demonstration Agent will be found OF
the greatest help There is no work
in which he Is more anxious to sue.
ceed than in developing local spirit
and pride in agricultural production.

De nstration Work

AS travel something over 5000 miles
yearly in the parish, feel like saying
something in regard to good roads.
l find the roads exceptionally good for
the time of year, especially in Ward
Three, where Police Juror Wright has
used crushed rock. l think this the only
method of building here roads which
will be permanent and success. AS a
rule there is plenty Of rock within reach
OF our red hills, and if ground, it will
make roads that will last. 1t will cost
some more to begin with, but the roads
will last and not have to be gone over
after every rain.
More rock crushers, and bigger ones,
properly handled, is what We need.
Yours respectfully,
E. S. BURT,
Demonstration Agent.

To the Voters of Bossier Parish.

To the Voters of Bossier Parish.
The most important Office, from
the farmers standpoint to be
voted ON at the coming primary is
that OF Commissioner OF Agricul-
ture. Before casting his ballot
every voter should give some
thought as to the fitness of the
candidate for whom he will vote.
The purpose OF this letter is to
call the attention of the voters OF
Bossier to the candidacy of Hon.
r. K. Boney of Madison. In Of
fering himself as candidate for
the office of Commissioner OF Ag-
riculture, Mr.. Boney stands
pledged to the farming interests
OF the state. He owes nothing to
any particular interests, and is
prompted in making this race
solely by a desire to serve the
state in this important capacity.
Mr.. Boney is himself a farmer.
He has made signal success OF
diversified agriculture in his home
parish. He thoroughly UNDER
stands the needs OF the agricul-
tural interests of Louisiana. He
has been Endorsed by every i'm
portant agricultural association in
the state. He is in thorough har-
mony with the College Of Agri-
culture and Experiment Station
staff, and, If elected, will work
shoulder to shoulder with them in
building up Louisiana agriculture.
Mr.. Boney has broad knowledge
of the principles underlying sue
cessful scientific farming. He has
a liberal education and is en-
inently fitted for the duties OF the
Office to which he aspires.
Ii elected, Mr.. Boney will devote
his whole time and attention to
lettering the conditions of the ag-
ricultural population OF the state.
Some of the principal measures
which he proposes to have adopt
ed are:
A simplified system of convey
ancing and land title registration.
A system of rural credits where
by the farmers of the state can
borrow money on long time at low
rates of interest. Of he stood for
nothing else, this would be sufi-
cient reason for electing him.
A bureau of markets whereby
the farmers will be helped to get
the highest market prices at all
times for the produce of the farm.
The betterment of the rural
i home.
Cooperative effort among the
farmers of the various commune
ties of the state.
Better rural school conditions.
Better roads, better school
houses, better farms.
AS secretary of the Louisiana
II Agricultural Association | wish to
Il say that Mr.. Boney is regarded by
Il that body as clean, competent,
Il honest man, and one in every way
Il suited to the Office, and trust the
Il voters of Bossier Parish will give
Il his candidacy favorable considera-
II ton at the polls.

About Boosters Roads.

Local Editor Banner, Benton, La.
Dear SIR: Knowing you to be a
stauneh friend OF good roads, and being
one of the first proponents of our now
hard surfaced roads, believe you will
be interested in some recent observations
while travelling over part of Wards Two
and Three on roads other than hard
surfaced.
Last week passed over the road run
ming east and north from Vanceville to
the hills at the Tidwell place. have
known this road for more than thirty
years, and have known it to be one con-
tinuous mud hole at this season of the
year, from start to finish, often being
impossible for man and horse, and to
pass over it in vehicle was out of the
question. Last week saw an automo-
bile travelling this road at twenty five
miles an hour speed, with hardly a jolt
The split-log drag made this possible,
and it is certainly an object lesson Of
q
persistent use of the drag.
was also over considerable mileage
of roads in Ward Three, and here, too
great improvements are to be found, ane
l want to congratulate this ward for the
efficiency of the work done, and, further
to extend my congratulations to the in
telligence of the supervisor, who un'
derstand is Mr.. Wright, member of the
Police Jury from that ward. He GER
tainly seems to understand the business
of road making. In this ward much rocl
has been crushed and placed on the ret
hills, where it was most needed, ant
much of the heavy sand roads have beer
treated with an application OF clay.
Yours for continued road improvement

~ JEt fOtSiS VI NaiN w.
Dear Sirs: Ever since entering
the race to become one of the JUS
tees of Peace for Ward Two it
has been my intention to visit the
lower end Of the ward, and, in
fact, to see as many Of the total
number of the voters as possible.
However, my work here has in
terfered, and it is now too late to
do so. AS the primary election
will be held next Tuesday, my
only remaining choice is to pre-
sent my candidacy through the
columns OF the Banner.
The Office pays but little in the
way OF a fixed salary, but that
little, together with accompany
ing emoluments, would be help
to me and would be appreciated.
/ am permanently located in this
place, can be found at any hour,
and my present duties would in no
wise interfere with those OF the
office | seek.
Trusting you will seriously con-
slider my candidacy, and soliciting
