SOY BEANS FOR GRAIN

For the information of farmers who
are beginning to grow soy beans for
grain rather than for hay, and who
are unfamiliar with the handling of
the plants under the former condi-
tons. the United States Department
of Agriculture will shortly publish
Farmers Bulletin, Harvesting Soy
Beans for Seed" The demand for
these seeds for use in the production
OF oil. feed cake, and other bean pro.
duets is rapidly increasing and the
farmers of the United States are pre-
pairing to meet this demand.
The character of growth, the uni
form maturing habits, and the heavy
seed yields of the soy beans says the
bulletin, contribute to the ease Of har-
vosting and recommend the plants for
seed production. The many disad-
y~antages which attend the harvesting
of cowpeas for seed are not common
to the SOY bean. When grown for
grain alone the SCATTERING of the pods
of the SOY bean is a serious fault and
inexperienced growers are likely to
sustain a heavy loss of seed through
lack Of knowledge and improper hand
ling Of the SOY bean plant. The shat
tering varies with the varieties of the
bean. 1t is well, however, with most
varieties TO give special attention as
maturity approaches to prevent seri-
Gus losses from this cause.
In general. the best time to harvest,
except where special bean harNesters
are used. is when about three-fourths
of the leaves have fallen and most
of the pods have turned color. If cut
at an earlier stage the plants are diff
icult to cure properly, and the yield
will be lessened materially on account
of the immature grain. On the other
hand, If the plants are allowed to be
come too ripe the pods will shatter
before being cut, and much seed will
be lost. When special ~harvesters are
used to gather the seed. the plants
must reach full maturity to obtain
the best results.

zoo Square Miles.
ENTENTE PUSH IS FEARED
Lowlands by Opening Dykes, Thus
Retarding Advance of Ailies-Rus.
SLAMS in Riga District Continue to
Retire Northward.

London, Sept. 6.-On the Franco.
British front the British hail Of shells
being dropped upon the German line
In Flanders is causing the Germans to
contemplate abandoning a wide ex-
panse of territory there now being
swept by General Haig's big guns and
those OF the French cooperating with
him in the Belgian campaign.
The launching Of the next entente
push apparently is imminent and, as
a measure of preparation, he Ger
mans are reported to be removing the
civilian population of a district ex-
tending twelve miles Or more to the
east of the present front in West Elan
ders, as far as the Thorout Courtrai
line, embracing an area OF about 200
square miles.
One theory advanced for the report
ed evacuation is that the German com
mand, ~dreading the effect OF the next
drive, Is preparing to Mood the low
lands by diverting water from the
River Scheldt, thus blocking allied
progress. Another supposition is that
the Germans, lacking the men to hold
these lines, are preparing for another
strategic retreat
The British have carried out further
extensive bombing raids in Belgium,
hitting the Bruges docks, where the
Germans have a submarine base, a
heavy blow. Airdromes also were
bombed with good effect.
The Russians are continuing their
retreat along the coast Of the Gulf of
Riga toward the northeast and have
crossed the Livonia river Aa, Petro-
grad announces.
Russians Retire in East.
The Russian forces operating in an
easterly direction from Riga have re.
tired to Segeyold, Lemburg and Detz-
schbrayd. The announcement states
that the hostile ships which have been
Smelling the Riga Goa were subna-
rines.

fruit in the great offensive the Italian
armies are now waging for Triest.
Although official announcement is
lacking there seems little reason to
question dispatches from various
sources that Monte San Gabriel, the
last of the Austrian strongholdS in the
Gorilla district, has been taken by the
Italian troops, giving them possession
OF the entire chain Of hills dominat-
ing the Gorilla area.
This eminence, in fact, has been
virtually at the mercy of the Italians
since the fall of Monte Santo, its
neighboring stronghold. Now that his
troops have taken it the way seems
cleared for General Cardona to com
plete his domination of the Bainsizza
plateau and push on into the Chiapa-
vono valley, driving a wedge in be
tween the Austrian northern and
southern armies through the IsonZo
front and severing their lines of com
munication with each other.

soy beans for seed is a valuable feed
for all kinds of stock. In many sec
