B.e. County Be.. King .

w. Hickey. q dry farmer. whose
home is about twenty miles south
west OF Springfield. contracted with
Strain Brothers OF Lamar to deliver
them his 1915 crop Of beans. Strain
Brothers agreed to pay eight cents
q pound for the beans, no that the
crop will bring Mr.. Hickey the tidy
sum Of $l.s0o. about one-third Of
which will represent clear profit.
Hickey stated that in addition to
his bean crop OF 40 acres last sea-
son he raised . large amount Of
broom corn, which brought him $5.-
900 when marketed, making total
OF nearly $4,000 returns for 4 sin
gle seasons dry farming.
The Baca county bean king talked
freely about his experiences as dry
land farmer and seemed to have no
doubt that he could raise 4 fair crop
in the dryest season. Constant cul-
tivation was his rule last year and
hu hVbt pioWs thU
weather was so dry that his neigh
bors abandoned their crops to fate.
The amount Of stuff he has market
ed would indicate that his system is
a good one.
Hickey began farming In Baca
county two years ago. and he states
that when he commenced operations
his total cash capital amounted to
Just so cents He managed to secure
a team and went to work with a will
and he has been working ever since.
The results in this case should
convince old timers that there Is
something in the scientific farming

The need for additional officers
In the United States Navy is being
more keenly felt, with the commits
sioning OF every new dreadnaught.
One OF the last acts Of the Congress
which ceased to exist on March 4.
l19l7. was to provide that 100 mid
shipmen at the Naval Academy. An
napolis, Maryland. were TO be drawn
from the enlisted personnel OF the
navy. Every enlisted man under
twenty years OF age, with one years
sea service, is eligible for one of these
vacancies, and the examinations are
entirely competitive. the highest 100
young men receiving the appoint
ments.
The average young man in the na-
Wy. like the average young man In
civilian life. has not had high
school education, and this fact is in
ducing high school boys to enlist in
the navy. as 1t Is practically certain
that any young man with a ground
work OF two years or more high
school training, who really desires
TO enter Annapolis. can do so.
Nayai authorities CONSIDER mid
shipmen with this preliminary train
ing afloat Of particular value. as their
knoSledgs OF naval affairs give such
young men a much better grasp Of
the possibilities OF their future ca
reer. than is held by the candidates
appointed directly from civil life by
congressman. The men appointed
from the enlisted personnel must be
recommended by their commanding

Sunlight Necessary for a Garden

No amount OF fertilizer. watering
and cultivation will make up for the
absence OF sunlight In garden.
Home gardeners before attempting
for the first time to use a back yard
OF other space should consider care
fully how many hours a day any part
OF the yard is in the shadow from
buildings. fences or trees. Al least
five hours OF sunlight a day is nee
essary for a successful garden. For
the more sunlight they get the bet
ter II will be for most vegetables.
For this reason It is bad practice to
put plants OF low habit between tall
growing plants which will shade them
for the greater part OF the day. As
a rule. foliage crops such as lettuce,
spinach and kale do fairly well in
partial shade. but even these must
have sunshine two or three hours a
day. In laying out the garden,
therefore. use shadier parts for such
plants and reserve the sunny spaces
for those which must have plenty OF
sunligh, to grow and fruit properly.
