BEAN HARVESTER CAN BE MADE
AT HOME
Suggestions for Use in Harvesting
Enormous Bean Acreage of Colo
RADIO

The enormous bean acreage in Colo
rado in 1917 is even now, in the mid.
die of the growing season, causing
some worry as to how this great acre
age may be harvested.
The best method of harvesting is by
using some of Che standard and well
tried out makes of bean harvestcrs
For. any acreage as large as ten or
over, such 4 harvester will pay for
itself. 1t is quito probable, however
that the demand for harvestcrs will
be greater than the machinery houses
will be able to supply, in which casc
some home method of harvesting will
be essential.
1t is quito feasible to make q har-
vester at home, assisted by tho
blacksmith. Two strong sled runner
should be made out of two-inch plank
and rather strongly braced botwcer
them, because they will be subjected
TO heavy strain. At the outside O.
these runners, heavy steel ltniver
should be fastened. The knives mus
be so placed that they will run Iadel
the surface of the ground so as to Gu
off the beans l to 2 inches under thc
ground. Any good blacksmith car
make the knives for such a cutter, OF
could make the entire cutter.
There are some of these home made
cutters in Use which arc working sue.
cessfully. They are not as good as
the regular commercial harvesters
but they are better than any of the
hand devices, and arc quite cheap. L
is quite probable that n little expert
menting will be necessary in order to
-et the knives at the right angle for
particular soils.-Alvin Kezer

The securing OF a loan from the

the borrower from giving a second
mortgage on the same land TO secure
another loan from any person OF cor
poration. A report has been circulat
ed that the second mortgage could
not be given after the mortgage tc

positively untrue.
II is now thought that the rate o.

bank will be per cent The Fedora

well for any farmer interested in pro

PROSPERITY THAT COMES
WITH STRONG BANKS.

The misfortune of hard times which prevailed for five
years past was due the fact that had two bank fail
ures in Lemhi county The adjoining district of which
Dillon Montana is the business center experienced won
lerfu prosperity while approached business disaster
in every commercial line.
In natural facilities the Salmon district possesses every
advantage all the adjoining Montana country. Big
Hole basin and Horse Prairie advanced in prosperity
while suffered from general business depression for
five long years Our district has milder climate and d
versed soil products and all the We're favorable
for the production of the most valuable crops The
Montana neighbors have unfavorabe climatic conditions
which limit profitable crop production to few varieties
of meadow grasses while have all of these, with the
greatest certainty of crops of the best grains and vegeta
bes Our opportunities for agricultural wealth are not
surpassed any place in the world The Dillon district was
the most prosperous in the west during the past five
while the Salmon district made progress up to the time
our present local banks gained strength as financial ns-
tutons equal to the demands of the business community
This local interest is convincing proof that local banks
are the measure of community prosperity To make the
banks strong all the people of the commercial district
must patronize them Any support given to the rival out
side banks weaken the influence of the local banks In their
efforts to build up all the industries of their district Those
who do not paronize the local banks using potent
force to retard every business interest of this community
Lemhi county just is great wave OF prosperity
and the local banks the safest and best exponent OF
that prosperity

island Park.
IL occures to me that we will be
overlooking a great opportunity II we
fail to make some provision for the
Improvement of Island Park. This is
land comprises about eight and one
half acres of good fertile land which
in its present condition is useless for
any purpose. II is covered with tim
Der which is of little value and with
underbrush which is of no value at
all. and under present conditions the
land can neither be utilized for pleas
ure or profit.
The city needs a park at the pres
ent time and no doubt in the future
this need will be much greater than
At the present time. 1t is possible to
make of this island beautiful park
but it will require considerable time
and expenditure of labor in order &c
bring this about. So far as ! have
been able to discern there is nothint
growing upon the island at this time
which could be utilized in making
park. The trees thereon are not suit
able for shade and are of the kint
. and character which In time VII
greatly interfere with the growth o
: other vegetation. l think 1t would b
advisable to clear. the park complete
lly of the trees and brush growinl
thereon and put the same into cult
walton with j view to getting It seed
ed to grass and also 10 plant suitabl
shade trees thereon.
: | have not made a careful invest
: cation of this matter but | am OF tn
] opinion that sufficient wood can b
J secured therefrom to pay for tn
2 clearing and that the crops whic
might be grown therein would pa
2 the further expense OF putting the II
l land in proper shape for a park.
