SKAGGS WINS
BIG LAW SUIT
Judge AveriIl Gives Judgment
to Defendants in Case of
Cation VS.. Skaggs, ct al

In lengthy decision which was
rendered on June 2. Judge Mark Il.
Averill awarded judgment 10 the de-
fcndants in the famous mining case
OF A. r. Cation vs.. Robert f. Skaggs.

The purpose OF this suit was the
quieting of title to two mining claims.
situate in the Railroad Mining Dis

The plaintin called them Capon and
Creditor. and the defendants calls
them respectively Copper King and
Dewey. the former located January 2.
1910 and the latter June Is. 1899. The
contention of the plaintiff was that no
annual labor was done on the Copper
King and Dewey for the year 1909.
/ that they became forfeited and part
of the public domain on Dec. 81 of that
year, and were open TO location on
Jan. .. 1910. when he went upon them
and posted his notices.
The defendants admit that no work

the work in the tunnel was sufficient

DRUID LIBEL CASE
IS NOT SUSTAINED

Dismissing the libel of Fred Will
liams against the steam yacht Druid
for wages claimed under contract,
Judge Sheppard, in a memorandum
filed with the clerk of the court yes
terday morning, held that the libel
liant was not entitled to any wages
because of the fact that he deserted
the ship at Tampa, en- route to Pen
sacola.
At the same time, Judge Sheppard
held, in the case of John Ash, against
the same vessel, was entitled to wages
due for the month, on March 7th, less
the amount already paid on account,
and less wages for two days, which
was charged against the man for
leaving the ship. Ash, who shipped
at Norfolk, is also entitled to trans
portation and rations back to his
shipping point.

| SOY BEAN FOR GRAIN PURPOSES

For the attenuation of farmers who are beginning to grow soy beans for grain rather than for hay, and who are unfa- miliar with the handling of the plants under the former conditions, the United States department of agriculture will shortly publish farmers bulletin, liar vesting Soy Beans for Seed" The de- m&nd for these seeds for use in the pro- duction of oil, feed cake, and other bean products Is rapidly increasing and the farmers of the United States are prepar- ing to meet this demand.
 The character of growth, the uniform maturing habits. and the heavy seed yields of the soy beans, says the bulletin. contribute to the ease of harvesting and recommend the plants for seed produc- ton. The many disadvantages which att tend the harvesting of cowpeas for seed are not common to the soy bean. When grown alone the shattering of the pods of the soy bean is a serious fault and in- experienced growers are likely to sustain heavy loss of seed. through lack of knowledge and improper handling of the soy-bean plant The shattering varies with the varieties of the bean. It is well, however, with most varieties to give spe- cial attention as maturity approaches to prevent serious losses from this cause.
 III general, the best time to harvest, ex- cept where special bean harvesters are used, is when about three-fourths of the leaves have fallen and most of the pods have turned color. If cut at an carrier stage the plants are difficult to cure prop erly, and the yield will be lessened ma terially on account of the immature grain. On the other hand, if the plants are allowed to become too ripe the pods will shatter before being cut, and much seed will be lost When special harves- ters are used to gather the seed, the plants must reach full maturity to obtain the best results.
 Various methods of harvesting the crop are in use in different sections where the soy bean is grown largely for seed pro- auction. The crop may be cut with ordi- nary moving machines self-rake reapers, self binders. or even with scythes, corn knives. or sickIes. The beans also may be harvested with special bean harves-

Plans have been made to expand i'm mediately the cooperative extension work of the United States department of agriculture and the state agricul- tural colleges by large increase in the number of county agricultural agents and home demonstration agents. This extension is made pos sible by funds appropriated in the re- gently enacted food production bill. Women agents will be placed for the first time in the larger towns and cities. ore or less technical training in agriculture and home economics will be required in this service The ap pointments are to be made on the rec ommendation of the director of ex- tension work at the state college. Ap- proximately 1400 men agents and 800 women agents are at present em ployed. The plans formulated contem- plate the extension of the men county agent work to all the rural counties of the union in which there is need for the work and the placing of an additional agent in some of the larger counties already organized. They also contemplate considerable increase in the number of women agents engaged in extension activities. The number to be employed will depend upon the num- Der of trained men and women avail able. Proved ability in leadership as well as technical training will be re- quired.

ter which gathers the grain from the standing plants.
 When the plants are cut before ma turity they are cured in shocks and al lowed to remain in the field until a con- venient time for thrashing. If thor oughly dry they may be housed and thrashed later.
 Thrashing may be done with an ordi- nary grain separator, but if this machine is used it must be altered somewhat to prevent the cracking of the beans In some eases special set of thin concaves is used for thrashing beans and in other instances some of the concaves are re- moved. Good judgment on the part of the thraSherman will enable him to adjust the ordinary separator so that the beans may be thrashed with little splitting. Special pea and bean separators are on the market and their use may be advis- able when large acreageS of the beans are to be handled. If thoroughly dry, soy beans can be thrashed with fail. If only a small acreage is to be thrashed- an acre or so-this method is practicable and economical. In a few sections corn shredder has been used to advantage in thrashing beans. If properly cured and dried out, the beans shell out very read fly with such a machcine.
 The straw obtained from thrashing soy beans for seed is a valuable feed for all kinds of stock. In many sections the straw is baled at the time of threshing and sold to liverymen, dairymen and stock feeders.
 As soy bean seed spoil rather easily if not properly handled, care should be ex- ercised in curing and storing.
 After the beans are thrashed they should be watched carefully to avoid heating and holding. When thoroughly dry there is no such danger. The best plan, perhaps is to spread the seeds out on floor immediately after threshing and shovel them over from time to time until they are thoroughly dry. After this they may be safely put into sacks or bins. The storeroom should be dry and with free circulation of air. Soy bean seed lose their viability rather rapidly, and it is not safe to hold seed for plant ing purposes more than two seasons The seeds of the soy bean, unlike those of the COW pea, are rarely attacked by wee wills or other grain insects
