sometimes planted later. Get the
plants delivered about the last of No

bank them tin ready to set out. This
is done by digging q trench on the
north side of hill or house, putting
the roots of the trees therein and Gov
ering them.
Peaches and trees that grow to sim
liar size should be set about 20 feet
apart each way, pears twenty-five feet
apart; apples 35 to 40 feet apart and
peoans SO feet apart.
Dig hole about two feet square
and two feet deep. pecans to 4 feet

decomposed barnyard manure, or a
pound or more of cottonseed meal or

We must act, and act with all the

BUSINESS CODE NEEDED.


American are rather disposed to
smile at the British way Of "muddlIng
through" forgetting when they
smile we do precisely the same way
The student OF economics. or even
the Thoughtful observer can be amazed
at the progress we havo made in
the face of the handicaps placel upon
business by the failure OF the govern
ment TO provide stable laws ior the
carrying on of business. No high
er compliment can be paid the Am
erican business maa than to say .hDy
have 'muddled thro IN" despite the
chaotic condition OF Americsn busi.
ness laws.
But we cannot aiweys win through
despite legal obstacles. We have skim.
med the cream from vdst bpdy Of
natural resources, hereafter we must
do as older na.!ors have had 10 10,
which means a greater expense la the
working up of our NV material cvon
though we constantly improve our
machinery From now forward we
must have actual cooperation from the
government rather than oppressive
laws by the ream, and when t"s 100
often capable OF conflicting interpre.
tations.
This brings us up to the practical
question. What is needed? The
answer Is q code OF business laws
which must be clean and definite. sim.
pie and understandable. A code the
average business man can understand
without an interpreter. A code which
will be 30 just and reasonable as to
appeal to every honest man. A code
when once agreed upon shall super
sede all the multitudious and yer.
bose statutes now upon the books.
Is this impossiblee By no means.
provided, all the parties in interest
will approach the question in spirit
of fair play and will lay aside the
suspicion which for number of years
has been sadly predominant feature
of our, business life.
Working with the Federal Trade
Commission. few national organi.
cations could in year or two form
just code of business laws cover

CROP NAVY BEANS.

Navy or field beans is one of
the easiest crops to grow. Beans
will make good yield ON prop
err soil than almost any other farm
crop; they may be planted then
on soil which would not produce
a good corn crop. Even on this
soil they will not require fertili-
GERS They can be planted Late,
after the spring rush of other
crops is over. They will demand
only one-third the cultivation re-
quired for corn. In this State a
yield of from 10 to % bushels
may be expected in favorable
season and with average care.
These advantages together with
their high food value and the
ease with which they can be
stored make navy beans an excel
lent war crop.
Field beans should be planted
any time between June ID and
the second week In July in Ken
lucky. This gives time for previ-
Gus blowing the soil to turn un-
der weeds.
