SOY BEANS ANb SEED.

Last spring when the apostles from
the South they had much to say about
the value of soy beans as a food crop,
says Home and Farm They had lit
tie or nothing to say about the cost
per bushel of soy beans that were to
be used for seed
The soy beans has been long known
| in the South as a valuable addition to
Southern crops 1t has not been
fayorite among the beans used for
| testes and it may be that with the
scientists telling everybody that it
has certain chemical elements of great
value, scientifically considered, the
people may cultivate a taste for the
soy beans on the table.
A recent bulletin from the Agricul-
tural Department is devoted to har-
vesting soy beans for seed. This but
letin says that when grown for grain
all SCATTERING of the pods of the soy
bean is a serious fault and growers
sustain a heavy loss OF seed through
lack of knowledge as to the proper
handling OF the plant The bulletin
says the best time to harvest, except
when special bean harvesters re L >ed

leaves are fallen and most Of the D Is
have turned color. II the piAn!s are
permitted to become too ripe, the pods
will open and the seed be lost When
special harvesters are used, the plants
must reach full maturity.
The crop may be cut by the ,tliiay
moving machine, self-reapers. self
binders, or even with scythcs, corn
knives or sickles.
When the plants are cut before ma

This method is practical and ecouo-
mical when the acreage is small.
The straw obtained from threshing
the SOY bean is, as the farmers all
know a valuable feed for all kind of
stock. In some cases the straw is
baled at the time of threshing and sold
to liverymen, dairymen and stock
feeders.
Soy bean seed spoils easily if not
properly handled. After the beans are
threshed they should be watched to
avoid heating and moulding When
thoroughly dried, there is no such dan
ger. Spread the seed out on floor

The COUNTY FAIR

Crisp county farmers and live stock
men and the business men of Cor
dele are opening today most credit
able fair. 1t represents no little eff
fort. On the other hand, plans laid
in the early spring are just now
showing best in the fair. The people
Of Cordalc and all the county should
make the most OF it and let it become
general manifestation of good feel
ing and happiness at the fine business
conditions and the great crop yield
over the county.
The attendance will be creditable
and encou raging, there is little doubt.
President Dnkle and the directors and
managers from one end of the county
to the other have given considerable
time to making show of the live
stock and agricultural products Of the
county
The enterprise will be worth see
ing
And there will be show made by
the canning club girls of Crisp coun-
ty and the boys Of the corn clubs that
will be worth the attention of every
body The pig club boys will have a
show, too, that should not be overlook
ed These are all efforts that will
without question win high praise from
the general public.
It takes a wonderful amount Of eff
fort to get together such fair as
Crisp is having this week That the
fair will be appreciated by those who
go for fur ad frolic, alike with those
who go to see what their neighbors
have to show, goes without argument.
| Our neighboring counties will have
many people over to see what we
aave and they will meet with warm
welcome
Let everybody make the fair a
happy occasion. If the general pub
lie enjoys it and the town and county
| benefit, the officers and directors of
the far association who have labored
without ! enumeration will be salts
fed The whole county and commun-
| ty are entitled to a good fair and
they have it. Let them enjoy it,

THE WAR AND APPLES

The war in Europe will benefit the
American apple grower materially,
due to- the fact that the three years
of hostilities have resulted in the de-
struction and neglect of the apple
orchards throughout that continent,
with the obvious result that buyers
can look only to this country for their
needs. Northern France, for example,
before the war produced fine apples,
most OF which were exported Today
that territory is virtually destitute of
apples as well as other orchards. Such
trees as were not blasted by gunfire,
| or ruined by poisonous gases and con-
flagration, have been cut down by the
retreating Germans. The hills and
mountains of northern Italy were,
prior to the conflict in that country,
productive of highgrade variety of
apples which were eagerly purchased
| by dealers. These orchards have suf-
fered as have those of France Rus
STA was a producing power in The APP
pie trade Of Europe and it's climate
and soil are especially adapted to
raising this fruit Industrial and po-
| litical decentralization, together with a
heavy depletion of the man-power of
Russia from this line of endeaver
China does not grow apples, neither
is the fruit raised for commercial pur-
poses in any part of Asia. In the
Latin-American nations Chile alone
raises apples, but enough only for
home consumption. Incidentally
may state that the Chilean apple is
without a peer anywhere, and, being
ripe at time when out apples are
out of season, the possibilities in this
line alone are really wonderful, but
up to the present no one has taken
advantage Of the situation.

A Wonderful Value
Saxon Roadster at 1895

You may think you have seen
big values in motor cars. And
perhaps you have.
But you have never seen Car
offering so much visible, prov
able motor car value for the
money as this Saxon Roadster.
Just stop and count some of the
things that distinguish Saxon
Roadster and make it the big
value car of the market.
First, it is the lowest-priced
completely equipped Car. The
next lowest priced costs 5000
that's over 5000 more than the
Saxon Roadster price of 1895.
Next, it is the lowest-priced Car
with an electric starting and

ster has the Wagner 2-unit type.
The next lowest-priced car with
this feature costs $3.50.
