Fall Flowing Not Advisa BILE.

Fall plowing for winter wheat is not

the seed, is better than fall plowing,
since the latter leaves the plants e1.
posed so that winter killing is usually
severe-even though the wheat lives,
it is killed back to the roots, thus de-
laying maturity. The same report ad.
vises planting more winter wheat In
South Dakota since it is as sure a crop
as spring wheat in about three-fourths
OF the state and has produced a high

GOSSIP OF THE STATE HOUSE
A Review Of the Work Of the state
Government at the Capitol and

Institutions.


South Dakota bean growers who de.
sire to obtain the best market price
should see to it that their beans are
free from impurities, cracked beans.
or immature or discolOred beans. say
the State college agronomists. Wheth.
er it IS most profitable for the grower
to clean his beans and hand-pick them
rather than to sell for the ordinary
market price, and leave the cleaning to
others. is problem for each individ
nal to decide for himself. Co-opera.
tion among growers would solve the
problem economically and make 1t pos
sible to do the work Of harvesting.
cleaning and grading with modern ma.
chinery
Everything possible should be done
to prevent the beans from being in
jured by fall rains while they are
awaiting threshing. II the seed bed
has been carefully prepared in the
same depth, the crop very likely has
ripened evenly. causing little loss from
immature beans.
Beans may be harvested with a
homemade implement or an adapted
corn cultivator by so arranging the
blades on the cultivator that it will
cut the roots of the beans about an
inch below the ground They may
then be raked up with an ordinary
horse rake and stacked in narrow
ricks. Threshing may be done by an
ordinary thresher by removing the
teeth from the concave and by remoy-
ing all but the center row Of teeth
from the cylinder. and slowing down
the velocity of the machine about so
per cent, by using smaller pulley on
the engine or larger one on the sep
arator.
1t is best. however, to have a spe.
cial outfit of bean harvesting and
threshing machinery and for this rea.
son anyone contemplating the growing
of beans for a field crop should plan to
grow enough to enable him to afford q
good small bean harvester and thresh.
or, as we'll as a tanning mill for clean
ing. This ideal might be accomplish.
ed by the cooperation of neighbors-
each one supplying one of the ma.
chimes.
Beans should be stored in good,
tight, clean bins, so that insects will
not attack them. II insects do trouble,
it is desirable to use carbon bisul
phide treatment.

Leader of Train Robber Gang, Who Is Paralyzed,
 Is Given His Freedom

Montgomery May 11.-(Special)-Dic Harrison, the brains behind the Harri- son gang which is now serving sen tences in the Atlanta prison for train robberies committed throughout the south, was carried to the home of his
 brother in Atlanta Friday and will spend the remainder of his days there. He has not many years to live, as he is a hope less paralytic, cannot leave a wheel chair and has been given up by all medical
 men who have examined him.
 Harrison was brought to Montgomery several weeks ago to testify against Henry Grady Webb, who was charged with complicity in the robbery of a Louis Vile and Nashville. train at Greenville. Webb pleaded guilty and received a sen- tence of 25 years Harrison turned states evidence against all of his former asso- ciates, believing that the end is near and that he should not die with a lie upon his lips. His brother, who is a respect able railroad engineer, has agreed to care for Harrison during his life. Harrison has been under arrest since a nation- wide net caught it's prey last year and sent all other members of the gang to prison.

 Especial praise is given Captain Hutchinson by his friends here and over the state for the manner in which he handled the officers training camp enlistment. Those familiar with the matter say that no higher class of men has ever been sent to a train ing camp than those passed on by the local man. The fact that Captain Hutchinson is a native of Alabama has resulted in the members of the Ala bama delegation interesting them selves in his behalf
 Tn my opinion, there is no more efficient or able officer in the army today than Captain Hutchinson,'' said Gen. Louis V. Clark, for many years brigadier general of the Alabama troops, who is intimately acquainted with the local officer. He has by dint of sheer ability and attention to duty worked himself up from the ranks where he entered as private to the rank of captain He is in ev- cry way qualified and worthy of pro- motion at the hands of the govern ment and his friends in Birmingha and Alabama hope that he will re- ceive this honor at the hands of the war department when the new armies are formed"
 Joseph B. scully, former adtutant general of Alabama and for many years active in Alabama military af- fairs, declares that Captain Hutch inson is one of the best qualified mer he has ever seen in the regular army. During the years I have been con nected with the National Guard I have never met an officer of the regular army who was more efficient and dili- gent in attending to his duties," said MT. Scully. 'tfiis executive ability has been clearly demonstrated in Birming- ham and the results have been so sue cessful that it would seem certain that he will be recognized and given a deserved promotion. Furthermore, his years of active service and his knowledge of military strategy make him most valuable commander"
