CAMP FUNSTON
SOUTH DAKOTA SENDS 1887 MEN,
NEBRASKA 3.272-ONER-
ALL UNIFORMS.

Camp Funston, Kan, Sept. "a
Forty special trains. many OF them
decorated with appropriate inscrip-
tions, are arriving at Camp Funston,
bringing 40 per cent of the Eighty
ninth army division into federal serv-
ice. Approximately 10000 men are
being assembled at the national army
cantonment in this movement, which
covers a period of five days begin
ming September 10. The present con
is TO bring the national army of 46,-
600 men into camp.
Approximately 100 men arrived
on September 10 to join the $500
assembled during the week of Sep
TENDER 5, and the number of arrivals
will increase each day until Septem-
Der %. when the last men of the 40
per cent increment will arrive. Ne
braska is furnishing 3,272 men to
the service this week and they are be-
ing divided between the Three Hun
dred Fifty-fifth regiment of infantry
and the Three Hundred Thirty-first
machine gun battalion. the Omaha
men going to the latter organization.
South Dakota's contribution is
1857 men, who will form the Three
Hundred Fortieth machine gun bat
TALON.
Blue denim overall suits will be is
sued to a majority of the men now
arriving as there is a shortage of uni
forms, due, ii is said, to delay in
shipping from the manufacturers.
At Camp Funston the incoming
troop trains are met by a delegation
OF officers headed by Lieut.. Col. c.
b. Clark. AT the railway station they
are sorted over and taken in charge
by the officers who will command
them. Then they are marched to the
barracks previously assigned for
their use, where after a bath they
don army clothing and enter into
their life as soldiers.
An additional 100 buildings. most
ly barracks, have been ordered for
construction at Camp Funston, bring
ing the total accommodation up to
10000 men instead of the $4,000
first planned.

bean CULTURE
ADVICE ON PLANTING AND HAIR
VISITING THE BEAN CROP.

Brookings. Sept. %. Special:
South Dakota bean growers who de-
sire to obtain the best market price
should see to IL that their beans are
free from impurities. cracked beans,
or immature or discolored beans, say
tha State college agronomists.
Whether Ii is most profitable for the
grower to clean his beans and hand
pick them rather than to sell for the
ordinary market price. and leave the
cleaning to others, is a problem for
each individual to decide for himself.
Cooperation among growers would
solve the problem economically and
make it possible to do the work of
harvesting, cleaning and grading
with modern machinery.
Everything possible should be done
to prevent the beans from being in
jured by fall rains while they are
awaiting threshing. If the seed bed
had been carefully prepared in the
spring and the beans planted at the
same depth. the crop very likely has
ripened early. causing little loss from
immature beans.
Beans may be harvested with a
home made implement or an adapted
corn c~ultivator by so arranging the
blades on the cultivator hat it will
cut the roots of the beans about an
inch below the ground. They may
then be raked up with an ordinary
horse rake and stacked in narrow
ricks. Threshing may be done by an
ordinary thresher by removing the
teeth from the concave and by remov-
ing all but the center row of teeth
from the cylinder. and slowing down
the velocity of the machine about so
per cent, by using a smaller pulley
on the engine or a larger one on the
separator.
1t Is best, however, to have a spe-
cial outfit Of bean harvesting and
~threshing machinery, and for this
reaso anyone contemplating the
growing OF beans for a field crop
should plan to grow enough to enable
him to afford a good small bean har-
vester and thresher, as well as a fan
ming mill for cleaning. This idea
might be accomplished by the coop
Grafton Of neighbors-each one sup
plying one Of the machines.
Beans should be stored In good,

WAR DEPARTMENT
is READY To TRAIN
HALF MILLION MEN
When First Army is Ready the
Second Half Million Will
Be Called.
THE GREATEST NEED is
FOR TRAINED OFFICERS
Army Chiefs Announce They
Can Care for But 100000
Men at a Time.

Washington. tpril 3.-The definite
plans OF the war department are wait
Ing to go forward to congress when it
Is ready to receive them.
The first element Of the plan Presi-
dent Wilson has already disclosed. II
is the assembling of 100000 men un-
der universal service system as an
addition to the regular army and the
national guard, which would provide
a total war strength force of 1,20O, 900.
II is assumed that coincident with the
calling out Of the new army, orders to
recruit the regulars and guardsmen
to full strength will go out.
Army officers believe 500 900 is the
maximum number they can undertake
to train at once. When the work has
proceeded for few months, however,
an additional 100000 could be called
out TO be followed at intervals Of a
few months by other similar incre-
ments until a total army of the de-
sired size has been mustered.

BIC PROBLEMS
OF WAR NOW
FACE CABINET
Raising of Money and Men
and Fighting Submarines
Pressing Questions.

Washington, April 3.-As the
cabinet assembled this after
noon members said the three
most pressing problems facing
the government we're:
"The raising Of sufficient
money to finance war opera
tons and extend credits to the
entente allies.
"The raising of large army.
"The provision of adequate
means of fighting German SUBJ
marines.
In addition to these problems
the cabinet took up questions
Of industrial preparedness al
ready considered thoroughly
by the council Of national de-
fense."
The position OF this govern
ment as authoritatively outlined
today is that the best move
toward peace which can be made
by the German government is
the establishment Of universal
suffrage In the German empire
and the creation of a ministry
responsible to the people rather
than to the emperor.
Government officials here
