THE GROWING OF BEANS.
Great Possibilities are Offered at This 1--.s. Time.

 Few crops offer greater possib bilities in the present food crisis than com mon field beans. As is we'll known, they are very nutritious, they may be stored and, transported and at pres ent prices, offer a good financial pro- position. Every farmer should grow at least enough for his own use and the larger gardens in town and city might well include a few rows.
 Soils.
 Contrary to the common belief, beans should not be planted on ex- tremely poor soil, such as barren sands. Neither should they be grown on land very heavily manured. Sandy loans, loams and clay loams of med iun1. fertility are best. Either sod or old ground may be used.

MANY NEW RULES IN BASEBALL WILL BE DUE TO WAR

One of the effects of the war IS the necessity for a radical re-adjust ment of the professional baseball structure and of the many proposed innovations and curtailments suggest ed. the limitation of each club roster to eighteen players has aroused the greatest discussion Magnates Tn both of the Major Leagues are sharp " aligneR in favor or opposition to this amendment to the rules and 1t is likely that there will be consider able controversy before the matter is adjusted.
 The proposal is one which permits of much argument with plenty of facts to support the contentious Of the debaters For instance it has been pointed out that no club is re- quired. at the present time, to carry the full limit of players and might go through the season with fifteen if so desired. Clubs favoring max imum of eighteen offer in rebuttal the statement that certain OrganiZa- tions, financially capable of support ing twenty-five player team, would under such condition have decided advantage over the club which could not afford, in war times, to carry more than twenty at the outside ] From other unofficial sources comes i the claim that the reduction is ad vocated bs certain clubs. the pennant chances of which would be greatly strengthened if other formidable op ponents were forced to cut down their playing staff to conform wtt the proposed requirements.
 The adoption of the rule would al so require. in all probability, . change in the National Agreement which at the present time places {
 maximum limit of twenty-five players upon the clubs of the American ant National Leagues during the greatel
