BEANS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN BULLETS
JBy HENRY G, BELL, Agronomist0

CBy HENRY G. BELL, Agronomist}
Crop reports indicate what may
amount to desperate shortage in
food next winter. What America
needs more than anything else is high
food value crops In as small bulk as
possible-food that will keep.
An acre of beans yielding 2S BUSH
els produces as much heat and energy
producing food as an acre of wheat
yielding 20 bushels. A 2S-bushels-to-
the-acre crop Of beans produces over
21a times as much flesh-producing
food as a 0-bushel-to-the-acre crop
of wheat.
The states east of the Mississippi
and north of Kentucky West Virginia
and Maryland grow seven-elevenths of
the bean crop OF the country.
An acre of beans produces from 10
to 30 bushels of dried beans.
Beans are being contracted for at

4. For best results fertlllze the
crop with 200 to 600 pounds to the
acre of fertilizer carrying / to 2 per
cent ammonia, s to 10 per cent phos-
phoric acid and to per cent potash.
This fertilizer Is best applied by
drilling 1t into the seeded through the
fertilizer dropper of a grain drill. If
you do not have drill, scatter the
fertilizer evenly over the bean ground
and work 1t into the soil by disking
and narrowing before the beans are
planted.
This available plantfood will in
crease bean yields and hasten the
ripenlng of the crop.
In cultivoting the crop, be careful

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how TO dry
up corn or callus so IL lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops Of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so It can be
lifted Off, root and ALL without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as 1t
is inexpensive and Is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.--ady.

Dents In Furniture

When wood is badly dented or
scratched it is often problem to know
how to get rid of the marks. This is
quite easy, according to n writer In
one of the scientific publications, If the
following plan is adopted: First of all
fold a piece Of blottine paper at least
four times, then saturate with water,
finally allowing the superluous mois-
ture to drip away. Now heat fiatiron
until it is about the warmth required
for laundry work. Place the damp blot
ting paper over the dent and press
firmly with the iron. AS soon as the
paper dries examine the mark 1t will
then be found that the cavity has filed
up to surprising extent. When the
dent is very deep n second or even n
third application on the lines indicated
might be tried. Sooner or later even
serious depressions can be drawn up,
and most people who have not tried
this plan will be surprised at the result
of the treatment Repolishing will
clear away even the slight marks that
might finally remain.
