HARVESTING SOYBEANS.
Timely Points Given Farmers Who
Grew New Crop-Bulletin Out.

Clemson College, S. c., Sept
Many South Carolina farmers began
to grow soybeans for grain this year.
For the information of these farmers
the United States Department of
Agriculture will shortly issue a bull
letin entitled Harvesting Soybeans
for Seed" Every South Carolina
farmer who has soybean seed to har-
vest should write the Department of
Agriculture at Washington, D. c.,
asking for this bulletin.
inexperienced growers are likely
to meet with heavy loss of seed
through lack of knowledge as to the
proper methods of handling the soy
bean plant. When grown for grain
alone the SCATTERING of the pods is a
serious fault. The amount of shat
tering varies with the varieties of
the bean, but it is well to give spe-
cial attention to all varieties to pre-
vent losses from this cause.
Harvesting Soybeans.
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. Har-
vesting at an earlier stage makes the
plants difficult to cure properly and
lessons the yield on account of i'm
mature grain. On the other hand,
if the plants are allowed to become
too ripe the pods will shatter before
being cut. When special harvesters
are used to gather the seed, the
plants should be allowed to reach
full maturity to get best results.
The crop may be cut with ord
nary moving machines, scythes,
corn knives or sickles. After being
cut the plants are cured in shocks
and allowed to remain in the field
until a convenient time for thrash
ing, unless the special bean har-
vester is used to gather the seed
from the standing plants.
Thrashing may be done with an
ordinary grain thrasher, which should
be properly adjusted so that the
beans are thrashed with little dam
age from breaking the grain. Spe-
cial thrashers are on the market and

COTS FIVE CENTS AN ACRE
TO PREVENT SMUT

Clemson College, S. c., Sept. o.
Smut in your wheat next year may
cause the loss of from three to ten
bushels to the acre
You can only be sure that there
will be no smut by treating your
seed with formaldehyde before SOW
ing it.
The cost is about 5 cents an
acre. With,wheat at So or more a
bushel the gain may be Sc to $40.
Treat your seed. Save the wheat
and add to your own profits and the
country's sorely needed bread sup
ply.

SAVE YOUR GARDEN SEEDS.

Clemson College, S. c., Sept. 90
Seeds produced in pods should be
allowed to fully mature before be-
ing picked. After picking, dry in the
sun, store in a tight can and label.
The seeds from fruits should be left
to ferment in some of the pulp and
Juice for a short time. Then wash
and store away.

LAW PROTECTS SCOUT SUIT.

The matter OF Scout suits has caused
the Boy Scouts Of America a lot Of
trouble. Boys who were not Scouts
would get uniforms and often, solicit
money or sell stamps or tag-day cards
or would chop trees and commit other
depredations that gave the movement
a black eye. 1t finally got so bad that
members Of the congress Of the United
States were asked to pass a law pro-
hibiting anybody who Is not a member
Of the organization from wearing the
uniform. This law congress has passed,
and the uniform Of the Boy Scouts Of
America Is now given the same protec-
ton as that Of the army or navy or
the insignia Of the American Red Cross
society. So 1t is unlawful for any boy
to wear his uniform after he ceases to
be member Of the Boy Scouts Of
America. When boy buys a uniform
he does SO with the understanding that
he has a right to wear it only as long
as he is actually a member Of the or
ganization.

feet that no manufacturer has a right
