HAVE GOOD BEAN SEED
FOR NEXT YEARS CROP

The importance of clean bean seed,
properly cared for thru the winter,
can scarcely be over emphasized for
next years crop. The very best way
of getting seed that is clean. free
from disease and which has not been
injured by frost, is to pick the seed
the fall of 1917. The best way is to
pick vines in the field which are free
from disease, which have ripened
before frost, ripened uniformly and
which show themselves to be good
yielders by having a heavy growth
of pods.
1t will take little work to gather
this seed, but If it is gathered, thoro-
ly dried and stored in a dry place
over winter, the increased returns in
next years crop will pay for the la
Dor many times over. The time to
select bean seed is just before har-
vest. OF course, it is better to have
seed plat, but next to seed plat
is the selection of pants before har-
vest. Do It now.-Alvin Kezer.

SOLDIER BOYS
SEND THANKS
w. C. Walker Writes and Tells
How Boys Enjoyed
Bag Gifts

The Red Cross society recently
sent the Crowley county soldiers
that we're stationed at Camp Bald
win, near Denver, a supply Of laun-
dry bags. The material was bought
in Ordway and made in the sewing
rooms of the Red Cross.
w. C. Walker Of Battery B re-
eeiyed the package and a letter re-
ceiyed from him addressed to his
mother, Mrs. A. w. Bartlett. gives
some idea of how these little things
are appreciated.
Mr.. Walker writes: "The laundry
bags that were sent up from the Red
Cross society came in good shape.
and | Immediately called meeting
of the Crowley county boys and made
a distribution. We had two left over
and we gave them to a couple Of
Rocky Ford boys who are in our
battery. People who are not actual
" in the service do not have any
idea of how much good the Red
Cross is doing and how things like
that coming in from our home So
ciety helps keep the boys in good
spirits and how much more pleasant
it can make camp life Aside from
the actual convenience of the bags
themselves-which is a whole lot
It helps fellow when he gets blue
once in awhile to know there are
people at home who haven't forgot
ten us and that they are doing their
bit, for they are surely doing it as
much as we who are out drilling,
and l want to thank the society for
the boys and say for us that we
hope to have an opportunity to show
our appreciation"
