About Growing Beans.

Judging from the large
number of requests for informa-
tion about bean growing" says
w. Il. Nelson, assistant secretary
of the Missouri State Board Of
! Agriculture; many farmers are
thinking of planting beans this
season. The reason for this is
that beans are now selling at rec
ord prices-$6 to 81 per bushel.
These prices are due to the ex-
port demand, resulting from the
European War and to the heavy
losses from excessive moisture
and early frosts during the 1915
season.
."The 1916 commercial bean
crop of the United States amount
ed to S,846,OOO bushels, grown
principally in Michigan, Califor-
MIA and New York, The average
yield was 9.4 bushels, and the De-
cember farm price was $500 per
bushel, as compared with 1926
two years previous. In Ontario
where about three-quarters Of
million bushels of beans are grown
annually the yield for 80 years has
averaged II bushels, with $1.25
as the average price per bushel,
"a bean disease known as an
thracnose, which attacks pods,
beans and leaves, causing heavy
losses. For this disease, some
times referred to as the bean spot,
and which resembles apple or to-
mato rot, there is no satisfactory
cure. For this reason Missouri
farmers, who plant to grow beans,
should be careful to secure dis
ease-free seed. Anthracnose is
transmitted thru the seed, thru
washing or brushing of the fungi
from one plant to another, or it
may be carried in the soil.
1.-THE bean plant, like all leg
umes, is a nitrogen gatherer or
soil builder. The bean is also one
of the most valuable articles of
food. Beans may be grown in a
variety Of soils, but always the
seed bed should be we'll prepared.
Planting is in rows about % in
ches apart, an ordinary grain
drill or a special bean planter be-
ing used. In Michigan the small
white bcan-pea is most extensive
ly grown. Marketing is mainly
thru bean growers associations"

Auto Licenses Set Record.

jefferson City, Mo-, March 81.
To-day closed the biggest three
months business ever done by the
State Automobile Registration
Department in the office of Sec
rotary of State Sullivan. All the
business is chargeable to the cur
rent automobile year, which be-
gan February /, but the applica-
tions for registration for the year
began pouring in early in Janu-
airy.
In three months of January,
February and March more auto
mobile licenses were issued and
more money taken in for them by
Secretary Sullivan than for the
entire registration year Of 1916.
The registration for the three
months were: Chauffeurs, T.
ga; transfers for owners, 286;
extra and duplicate plates, us;
dealers, 1,075, and automobiles
and all other motor vehicles, 104,-
sos, making a total of ia, O98.
On this basis and following the
normal rate of increase of other
years the total number of auto
mobiles owned in Missouri by the
close of the present registration
year should exceed $4,000.
The total taken in for the regis
tration so far this year is $413,545
which, under the Halves highway
act, goes to the good roads fund
of the State.

Guard Called Tin Soldier
Murder and Suicide
Results.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 81
The body of a man identified by
the police as Leslie McGrath, 49,
year-old National Guardsman
was found near the Missouri
River here today and ended the
search, that had been made for
him since j. Presley Erganbright,
a clerk, was shot and killed in the
yard of a public-school building
here late last night. He had COM
mitted suicide apparently, since
the police described the finding
of an automatic revolver near his
body.
McGrath was member of X
Company, Third Missouri 1nfan-
try, that was ordered into Federal
service Monday. The police de-
clared today that McGrath and
Erganbright had quarreled, the
latter having called McGrath a
sstin soldier" Several persons
witnessed last nights tragedy.
McGrath was in uniform when
he killed himself. Two boys who
said they saw him shoot himself
declared he faced the river and
gave the military salute before
pressing the revolver trigger. In
one of his pockets was a brief note
addressed to the captain Of his
company. 1t read:
"Have Bill Bateman blow taps

Judge w. W. Graves, of the Su-

STATE ASSESSMENT FOR
1917 TAKES Is RAISED
$50, 490,258
Valuation of Farm Lands In
creased 10 Per Cent in
Forty-0ne Counties.

cSAASA''oA WV NAO' NA"AS VA -
Today marked the completion
of the work of the State Board of
Equalization in passing upon The
assessments of real and personal
property for the taxes of 1917, as
returned to the board by the
county assessors.
The board directed increases
averaging 10 per cent in the valu-
alton of farm lands in Al Of the
ia counties.
In the face OF these increases
the total of the assessments of
these classes of property for the
State is out $19,122,195 from the
total of the returns made by the
Assessors. This is due to the
equalization of the value of bank
stocks. In some of the counties
the assessment of this class Of
property is fixed by the local AS
Escssor at 81.
The board some years ago fixed
the assessiblc value of bank
stocks at so cents ON the dollar.
The Assessors returned total
value for all bank stocks in the
State of $107,576,045, and the
final value of so cents on the dol
lar applied by the board makes
the total sos, 792, 1929.
The total value of the real and
personal property of the State for
the taxes of the current year is
81, 1856 1881, this being an in
crease over the total valuation
for 1916 of $50,490,25S.
The increase in the assessment
of land over last year is $780,
OPT ,276, and in personal property
of 1864, AS. Other items, such
as increase in money, notes, bonds
etc, make up the balance of the
general increase.
As usual nearly onc-half Of the
entire valuation of the State for
taxes is found in Jackson County
and the Cityof St. Louis. The
total Of the former for the present
year is $219,507,25s and of the
latter $616,592,S15. Neither the
jackson County nor the St. Louis
assessments as fixed by the local
assessors was changed.
The board finds discrepancy
in the assessments Of real estate
owned by banks and trust COM
panics Of st. Louis which is val
ucd by the owners at 1922, 86O,O39,
and is returned in the assessments
at $5,SS9,520.
The board could not well in
crease this item without disturb
ing all of the real estate valuation
in st. Louis, but adopted this res
olution offered by Attorney Cen
cral McAllister:
Resolved, That the attention OF
the Assessor and Board of Asses
sors of the City of st. Louis be
called to the fact that, while the
actual value of real estate be-
longing to banks and trust COM
panies of the City of st. Louis is
1922, $50, O39, it is returned for as
scssmcnt at the total value OF
IS, SS9,520, about % per cent OF
it's actual value.
Here are some of the counties
that were increased by the State
Board in valuation OF farm land
Buchanan, Harrison, Gentry,
Saline, Carroll, Linn, Mercer,

the County Assessors.
In the counties of Mississippi,
Nodaway, Hickory, fancy, Penn
iscot, Madison and Phelps the
Board. made an increase of 20 per
cent in the valuation of farm
lands.
In Putnam County farm land
valuations are ordered increased
Is per cent, and in St. Louis
County 5 per cent. In De Kalb
and Livingston counties the as
sessments were decreased 10 per
cent.
In 81 counties the valuation OF
mules is increased from 10 to 81
per cent; in 46 counties there is
an increase in the assessment OF
cattle ranging from 10 to 80 per
cent.
With the corporate assessments
that including the property OF
railroad, telegraph and telephone,
bridge and other public service
corporations which the board will
value next, and which will ag-
gregate something over 100000
600. the total taxable wealth of
Missouri is expected this year to
60 beyond the two-billion-dollar
mark for the first time in the his
tory of the State.
