The slHt= tering varies with the varieties of the bean. II is well. however, with most varieties to give special attention as maturity approaches to prevent serious losses from this cause
 Time Of Harvesting.
 In general, the best time to harvest, except where special bean harvesters are used is when about three-fourths of the leaves have fallen and most of the pods have turned color. If cut at an earlier stage. the plants are diff cult to cure properly, and the yield will be leSsened materially on account of the immature grain. On the other hand, if the plants are allowed 10 he- come too ripe, the pods will shatter be- fore being cut. and much seed will be lost. When special harveSters are used to gather the seed, the plants must reach full maturity to obtain the best results.
 Methods of Harvesting.
 Various methods of harvesting the crop are in use in different sections where the soy bean is grown largely for seed production. The crop may be cut with ordinary moving machines, self-rake reapers, self-bnders, or even with scythes, corn knives or sickles. The beans also may be harvested with n special bean harvester which gathers the grain from the standing plants.
 When the plants are cut before ma turity, they are cured in shocks and allowed 10 remain in the field until convenient time for threshne If thor oughly dry they may be housed and threshed later.
 Threshing.
 Threshing may be done with mn ordt- nary grain separator, but if this nm. chine K used it must be altered some what to prevent the cracking of t6e beans.

DIAMOND INTEREST
EXPECTED TO LAG
IN PHILADELPHIA

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 14.-Another
day has come without the explosion
OF an earthquake for Philly fans. but
Col William +. Baker. president OF
the Phillies. is not the most popular
man in town. The fans just refuse to
see any hope for National League
baseball here next year. Meanwhile.
Colonel Baker has nothing to say in
addition to his official statement
given out when he announced the
sale of Alec and XIII" to the Cubs.
Most fans believe that while the
Phillies may have gained financially
and the Cubs from a playing view
point, the National League has lost
as a whole. The Phillies. with the
Reds and the Cubs. were the only
clubs to give the Giants a fight last
year. Parting with Alexander and
KiHifer. the PhilIies will no longer
be contenders. Only New York. Chi
cago, and Cincinnati arc now expect
ed to be in the race next year.
Next year. with two tail-end aggre-
cations representing the city. Phila-
delphia is likely to resemble ST. Louis
in its worst days. One bright ray
can be seen. however. Without good
professional teams. amateur baseball
is likely to boom generally. The fans
will take more interest in their far
tory nine or i'm the team made up OF
young men on the block. Whenever
baseball fails as a business IL booms
as a sport.

Washington fans are booking reser-
vations for the big fifteen-round bat
tie at Baltimore next Monday night
between Kid Williams, former ban
tam champion. and Johnny Ertle, of
st. Paul. Mimi, and an entire section
will likely be filled by them.
Kid Sheeler, the Frederick, Nd,
middeleweight, who is to meet Jeff
Smith, Of Bayonne, ". J., at Ardmore
on the following Thursday. will wit
ness the Williams-Ertle clash and
probably come to Washington with
the returning fans, for he will COM
plete his training here.
Both Williams and Ertle are finish
ing their training in Baltimore, and
no argument is expected over the
weight. They are to weigh in at lis
pounds. Today Williams was within a
pound OF the required pOundage, and
Ertle was below It, tipping the beam
at 116x.
Williams VIII Fight.
"If Ertle will mix 1t with me,
therell be a sure enough fight" says
Williams. This Is my chance to prove
to the boxing world that was given
a raw deal when I boxed Ertle in St
Paul, and 1 certainly am going to
take advantage of II. 1 shall force
the boxing from the first gong to the
last"

to settle for all time the question OF
superiority, for he is seeking a bout
with Pete Herman, the champion.
