FARMERS WILL GROW BEANS
The State Board OF Agriculture 10 Re
ceivins Many Inquiries About
Cultivation of This Crop.

Judging from the large number Of
requests for information about bean
growing" says w. l.. Nielsen, assist
ant secretary OF the Missouri Board
of Agriculture, ''many farmers are
thinking of planting beans this sea-
son. The reason for this is that beans
are now selling at record prices-$6
to 81 per bushel. These prices are
due to the export demand resulting
from the European war and to heavy
losses from excessive moisture and
early frosts during the 1916 season.
"The 1916 commercial bean crop
of the United States amounted to
'S,S46,000 bushels, grown principally in
Michigan, California and New York.
The average yield was 9.4 bushels, the
December farm price was $500 per
bushel, as compared with s2.26 two
years previous. In Ontario, where
about three-quarters Of a million BUSH
els of beans are grown annually, the
yield for 80 years has averaged IL
bushels, with $1.25 as the average
price.
"a bean disease known as
anthracnose, and which attacks pods,
beans and leaves, causes heavy losses.
For this disease, sometimes referred
to as bean spot and which resem-
bles apple or tomato rot, there Is no
satisfactory cure. For this reason
Missouri farmers who plan to grow
beans should be careful to secure dis
ease-free seed Anthracnose is trans
mitted through the seed, through
washing or brushing of the fungi from
one plant to another, or it may be car
ried in the soil.
"The bean plant, like all legumes,
is a nitrogen gatherer or soil builder.
The bean is also one of the most valu-
able articles Of food. Beans may be
grown in variety of soils, but always
the seedbed should be we'll prepared.
Planting is in rows about % inches
apart, an ordinary grain drill or spe-
cial bean planter being used. In
Michigan the small white pea bean
is most extensively grown. Market
ing is mainly through bean growers

ST. LOUIS TO FIGHT H. C. L.

st. Louis, in the heart Of rich
farm produce center, but hard hit
by the high price of food products, is
going to take III. C. L." around the
corner and try to slip over the knock
out punch in battle on vacant lot.
Real estate owners and agents have
promised to let school children turn
vacant lots into truck gardens, and
H. c. Irish, supervisor Of public school
gardens, announced the youngsters
would be encouraged to work on these
patches and to cultivate products in
their back yards. 1t is planned to use
the truck grown on the lot farms"
for distribution in the tenement dis
tricts. 1t is also expected the park
department will throw open to public
use large areas of uncultivated land
belonging to the city.
"The average acre Of ground will
feed five persons an entire year."
said Irish. "Uncultivated land is not
rs productive as land which has been
fcrtilIzed year after year, but 1t can
be made productive by proper care.
"The best things which the unin-
itiated can grow are potatoes, beans,
beets. tomatoes, lettuce, .turnips, car
rots, radishes and sweet corn. Most
of these can be canned at home and
their consumption can be spread over
the entire year."

President Hiilof State Uniyers-
lty Denies Excess Charges
In Expense Account.
SCORES COMMITTEE REPORT
Head Of Big state School Explains
Several Of the Expenditures
Complained OF. i

President A. Ross Hill OF the Uni
versity Of Missouri has replied to the
criticism of the subcommittee OF the
appropriations committee OF the lower
house Of the legislature in regard to
expenditures at the university:
1.-THE following matters seemed to
call for the committees condemna-
tion:
Travelling Expenses-The only
travelling expense vouchers filed, for
which acquisitions have not been paid,
are chargeable to several appropria-
tions for agricultural extension and
station work. These amounted to
$7,849.55 December 81, including only
S11.S1 not spent in extension work,
but by the agricultural experiment
station.
"The committee evidently did not
confine its work to an effort to find
out whether the, university had Gre
ated any state deficiency by exceed
ing its appropriations. It takes UP
the entire question Of travelling ex-
penses of university employees for the
year 1916. Aside from the various
forms of extension work, for which
the state makes appropriations to
cover travelling expenses and for
which communities in some cases pay,
the professors Of the university do
not spend university funds to tour
this and other states ~ .--
"Ford Motor Cars-The present hor-
ticulture grounds of the university are
four miles from the horticultural
building. The fruit growers of Mis-
souri,, / am sure, do npt expect us to
waste the time of Professor Whitten
and his staff by forcing them to walk
between the horticultural laboratories
and fruit farms. Accordingly Ford
was secured which is equipped with a
small truck bed for the transportation
Of supplies and products to and from
the fruit farm and paid for from the
sale of products. 1t did not cost the
state institution one dollar.
These are samples of the expendi-
lures Representative Carroll's COM
mittee, found subject. to criticism.
When the university had its hearing
before the committee on appropria-
tions requested an investigation of
our expenditures and business meth.
DDS. No questions have been submit
ted by the subcommittee, whose re-
port is now published. An honest
effort to find out for what purpose
university expenditures have been
made would have saved the members
from the ridicule of Missouri people,

BY THE APPEAL BOARD

No oral arguments will be heard
by the district appeal board for south
Idaho and no one will be allowed to
appear before the board, except upon
invitation OF the board. This Ia one
OF the rules adopted at the joint
meeting of the two Idaho boards.
The purpose is to avoid delays in
deciding cases. Oral testimony could
not be transmitted In case of an APP
peal to Washington, ID. c.. and 1t
would therefore serve no purpose,
except to make the proceedings more
cumbersome and consequently slow
err.
All claims for exemption on the
grounds of industrial occupation
must be filed with the appeal board
within five days after the claimant
has been certified to the appeal board
by the local board as not exempted
In case where an appeal is taken from
the ruling of the local board. the
claimant has ten days In which to
perfect his appeal and file the same
with the district board. Already a
large number OF appeals are pending
and the board will be in session for
some time investigating and deciding
these cases. There are also many
exemptions claimed on the grounds
OF industrial occupation been noted
