the Federal soldiers had found so sat

became a millionaire. The son of this

Beans made no millionaires, but
they increased the prosperity of farm
ers in the North, and in time became a
valuable crop throughout the South.
The men in blue and the men in gray,
while fighting one another, joked about
beans and sang humorous songs about
them, and also about fat pork, but thty
knew the food value of both, and the
dietary habits they acquired as sold
iers were not given up when peace
was restored.
"The soldiers of the regular army
i have eaten beans for years. They ate
great quantities of them during the
! Spanish American war and on the
Mexican border. and are eating them
in France now British and French
soldiers are living on them and the
American product at that When the
banners of democracy are seen float
ing all over the world it will be we'll
to remember the part that the bean
has taken in behalf of the people in
their battle with Kings and Emperors
and their Divine Rights
"The acreage in beans half a cen
fury ago was small 1t has been in
creasing, however, from decade to dec
ade. The yield last year on $4,000
acres was 8,846,O0O bushels, as AGAINST
: $4,000 acres in 1915, and a crop thai
totaled 1921, 900 bushels.
Many foreign buyers were in the
market last season bidding for croT
that was 1855 900 bushels less than the
crop of the previous year. The farm
value of beans, therefore, increased
from $3.50 bushel in 1916 to $500 a
: bushel in 1916.
Farm value means the price that
the grower receives. Very few, if any
consumers bought beans even for Sc
a bushel. The price mounted higher
and higher as the stock disappeared

then, the bean is not. And their, cheap

price at retail was considerably high

Moses ate beans, as did Abraham,
and doubtless Cleopatra. Races have
come, ruled, and vanished; but the
bean, always here, is here yet. Napo-
leon fought and Shakespeare dramatic

The dearness of seed, however, has
worked in my opinion, against such a

course and is now being circulated
among prospective students.
Already there is a keen demand
for this literature and indications
point to large attendance for this
new course. There will also be off
cred during the winter term, short
course in farm husbandry including
very practical courses in live stock
work, such as animal diseases, feed
ing, stock judging, milk testing and
dairying, and also several courses in
farm crops and soils. A large amount
of fine stock and equipment makes it
possible to give strong courses in all
of these subjects. These twelve
weeks are designed for young men
who can not take the full three
years course. To be of greater SER
vice and reach out into a larger
field so that more young people may
receive the advantages of the Farm
School, these courses have been in
troduced. Two new faculty members
who have been very successful in
similar work in the North Dakota
College of Agriculture will have sup
ervision of these new engineering
courses.

Courses in Traction Engineering

Superintendent Miller has an
nounced several new courses in farm
engineering which will make up a
special winter course to be given
from January 7 to April 1. The
enormous demand for tractor oper-
atOrs as we'll as men qualified with
knowledge of steam engineering,
electricity and farm mechanics has
made this course a necessity The
course will include the following
subjects: Gas engines and tractor
practice, steam engines and steam
practice, electricity with laboratory
practice, woodshop, forge shop, farm
structures, and farm mechanics. The
men taking this special course will
also be given instruction in business
English, practical arithmetic and
spelling.
The Farm School is admirably
equipped to offer special work in
these courses. The new engineering
building with a large amount of
machinery on the demonstration
floor, modern and we'll equipped
WOOdshOp, forge shop and engine
room, together with the drafting
room and especially equipped labor
atories, makes it possible to do the
very best of work in these subjects
! A large number of standard makes
of farm tractors will be available fol-

being built in the engine room in
order that the work with steam en-
gines may also be handled in the
very best manner. This work in.

Seven Millions Loaned to Farmers

Seven Millions Loaned to Farmers
The Federal Farm Loan Board an
nounces that during the month of
October, the IL Federal land banks
paid out to farmers of the United
States in per cent loans under the
Federal Farm Loan System $7,374,-
O44. This was practically double
the amount paid out during the pre-
vious month and indicates that the
process of making loans through the
Federal land banks is being speeded
I'D materially. The total amount
now paid out to farmers is $21, 04O,-
1873. 1t is fully expected that from
now on more than $8,0OO,O00 will
be paid out each month.
During October the ~ Federal
land banks received applications for
loans amounting to $27,416, 1853, and
approved loans amounting to $780,
119,24O. This brings the total ap-
plications for loans in the hands of
the II Federal land banks up to a
grand total of 93,25O,945. This
represents the applications only of
organized farm loan associations,
totaling approximately 5000, one
half of which have actually been
chartered and the other half OF
which awaits action by the Federal
land banks. In addition the Federal
land banks estimate that there are
approximately 1000 other farm
aScOcio+ionc boin0 Orpa niZnd in the
United States, which, when their
applications are filled, will bring the
grand total of applications to nearly
double the present amount.
The applications in Minnesota
amount to $4,778,50O and the loans
closed to $694,90O.

Farmers Told to Salt Corn

Minnesota farmers may have saved
thousands of bushels of soft corn
this winter if the method explained
below is feasible and works alright.
This method has been tried success
fully in Illinois and Iowa, where
large quantities Of soft corn were
husked this fall, and reports from
there are that it works fine. Several
farmers living near Marshall have re-
ceived advice from their old neigh
bors in Illinois about sailing the
corn and they consider it very re-
liable. The Farm Advisor of La
Sale county, ILL.,, also recommends
this method.
About one barrel of salt is used tC
each 1000 bushels of corn. The salt
causes the moisture to condense on
the outside of the ears, but no heat
ing takes place. On some very wet
ears a little mold may grow on the
outside, but there is no heating,
burning, or turning black.
This method Of saving the corn
was used in 1881 and several farm
ers used it in 1915 and many will
use it now.
Harry A. Wheeler, Federal FoOC
Administrator for Illinois, looks fav-
orably on the plan of sailing the
corn and James A. Larson, assistant
secretary of state of Minnesota, also
recommends the method.

Feed Frosted Potatoes

Potatoes that have been frosted
should be fed Immediately to cattle,
according to A. D. Wilson, food ad-
ministrator for Minnesota They
will make good food for the cattle
and will not hurt them. If Stevens
county farmers have potatoes that
have been frosted, and we know
there are many, they should feed
them at once This is a good way to
