at s1.S8 ga to $3.50 1-8 for July,
with the market rs a whole ranging
from Ia cent net decline to q ftse'
of 8 ga cents as compared with yes;

to 5-8 cents lower and provisions
down rs cents to SLIPS.
Urgency of demand from export
and milling interests appeared to be
growing more acute in n wheat
market, with offerings throughout n
west becoming scantier. Sensational
breaks in May wheat prices at Kansas
City had much to do with unsettling
sentiment here in the last half Of the
day and there was liberal profit taking
by holders.
Corn as we'll as wheat jumped to
new records and then reacted. Oats
were governed by the action OF other

Selling by packers caused sharP-de-
clines in the provision market. There
was heavy unloading too on the part
of a leading SPECTATOR.

The double. row planting with the
corn planter, often makes it very hard
to cultivate in this way, as the rows

ground is unusually free from weeds.
some hand hoeing will be found
necessary. A g soon as the beans are
five or six inches high, when any
weeds begin to crowd the beans, the
field should be gone over, and all
cleaned out. 1t is probably necessary
to go over them again just as they
are ripening, because as soc as the
beans begin to ripen and quit grow
Ing, n weeds that are growing will

bother in the harvesting Of the beans.
Harvesting Beans.
Scans ripen about frost time, and
1t is advisable to harvest them as
soon as the majority of the pods are
ripened. It may not be possible al
ways to harvest them when the pods
are all fully ripened, because some of
the earlier pods will begin to shell
out. and as a general thing the earlier
visable to begin to. harvest a little on
the early side, and so get tn best
beans.
For a small field the navy beans
are usually pulled, and left in small
piles until thoroughly dried, and then
threshed out with fails, or some
means of breaking the pods.
Where large fields are grown they
may be harvested with bean har-
vesters. which cuts the beans Off just
under the ground, and throws two
rows together. Later these may be
gathered up, with a horse rake or
pitch fork. and put in small piles until
thoroughly dried, and then threshed
with the regular bean thresher. An
ordinary separator can be used for
thseshing beans. but it is necessary
to change the pulleys on the cylinder,
SO as to run the cylinder at about one
third or one-half the speed that is
used for grain, and then keep the
back part of the separator at the
usual speed. This simply REQUIRES
larger pulleys on both ends Of the
cylinder, and a good job can be done.
OF course, after being threshed, II
Is necessary to clean them. and sort
them for market. They are of course
threshed, and then sorted by the mer-
chant. but a higher price can be Sc
cured for sorted beans than from un-
sorted.
Every Farm Should Grow Some Beans
There is not a farm in North Da-
kota h a should not grow a small
patch Of beans. Perhaps this might
not comprise over a tenth Of an acre,
or simply enough to supply the fam
lily with the necessary amount for the
year.
There is no question as to the value
OF beans for use on the farms and
there Is no doubt out that they car
be grown on practically every farm
In the northwest, and would greatly
aid to reduce the high cost of living
There are ais many farms where an
acre or two, or several acres might
be put in, with the expectation of sell
ing a few hundred pounds, at high
prices, during the fall and winter.

Yesterday were the features of the

urgent cash demand and from millcrs
and exporters. The business in export
grain is not being given out bu, mill
ers are buying despite the price wllla
stocks are decreasing. Local milIcrs
bought all kinds of wheat yesterday,
even sample grade 9 selling at s2.3S.

High prices do not increase the
movement of corn and the daily ar

July on a large scale while others
were taking the offerings freely.

FATE OF PALEsTINE.

There is prospect that Palestine will
be taken from the Turks before 1917

the Christian nations the birthplace
of their religion. 1t will put in their

the holy sepulcher, three of the most
historic spots in all history. They

hammedans for 400 years, during
which time there has been much blood
spilled to recover them. The Turks
have been treating the Christians very
we'll for some years past, but 1t is pos
sible the pilgrim trade remunerated
them for their consideration. Who
will govern Palestine when 1t is taken
from the Turks will be an interesting

There are Of course many varieties
Of beans. but the n that Is grown
most extensively for human use is
the white, or navy, bean. With beans
selling at 10 or is cents q pound,
there will be a tendency to rush into
this particular production this year,
and the result in many cases may be
disastrous. However. it is we'll known
that If the bean is given he proper

as almost anything that can be plant

recognized hat the common white
or navy bean is about the only one
that it is advisable to consider.
Aside from an. unusually unfavor-
able season, there Is perhaps as little
danger of the beans being affected
with diseases or other agencies. as any
other crop. There is only dis

that is a sort of rust or leaf spot, and
apparently there is no way of con-

in the growing of beans. The only
question is to plant them on suitable
land, and give them proper attention

Preparation OF the Land.
Land for beans should be fall plow-
ed, and it is also desirable to select
land hat Is we'll drained. In fact, the
beans will grow on rather poorer land
than other crops. However, if the
land is not fairly we'll stocked with
fertility, 1t is advisable to apply some
well rotted manure, ten or twelve
loads to the acre. This should be
disked or worked in thoroughly be-
fore the seed is planted. 1t is not ad.
visable to apply fresh manure or any
manure that has too much straw OF
trash in 1t, because this will interfere
with the successful cultivation.
Fall plowed land should be worked
a. early as possible in the spring, sc

ENEMY ALIENS.

Leaders of the l. w. w. in Butte
Montana, have issued a circular an
nouncing the working out Of a plot
which has for it's aim a nationwide
revolution that will put Washington
under their control. The detestable
and reasonable nature of such an an
lnouncement as this is too glazing tC

naturally the l. w. W. statement OF
position of few days ago whose bur
den was a reputation of citizenship in
this or any other country.
Declarations like these throw no new
light on the character of the l. w w
and it's members, but they do place
those affiliated with the order on re-
cord in way which might he made ex-
ceedingly embarrassing if the govern.
ment of the country were inclined tc
take the logical retaliatory action.
According to their own words. the
members of the / w. w. have pro-
claimed themselves enemy aliens with
designs against the we'll being of this
country. If we accept their definition
OF their position they possess the sta
tus of German subjects resident in
America.
Enemy aliens have no rights except
those granted by favor and indulgence
They are subject to any sort of disci-
pine or treatment, to any transporta-
or segregation or Imprisonment the
government may consider necessary
or advisable for the public cafety. ii

tarily taken the status and announc,

pie of the United States, hereafter ap-
peal to the courts for protection

sistency. But we may be sure they
will appeal to the courts whenever
they think they can use them; and the

AMERICA NEGLIGIBLE.

One of the passages in the new Ger
man chancellor's maiden speech is to
the effect that America does not count
in Germany's reckoning of the end of
the war. He reasons that America
vii not be able to transport an army
and supplies sufficient to weigh in the
scales before the Entente group has
oeen exhausted and made to surren-
der it's arms to a triumphant auto
cracy at Berlin. He pins his faith
mainly to the work of the u-boat to
achieve this result.
Now, granting that the u-boat is able
to do all that he and Potsdam profess
to believe, the exhaustion of Britain
and France will not take America out
OF the war, and thus end it. America
was drawn into the war because of
the persistent violation of international
law by the u-boat, but on entering the
ST. uggle she raised the standard Of
making the world safe for democracy.

With a victorious or unconquered

PURELY Personal.

There is every indication that the
present controversy between DR.. P. F
Bahnsen, State Veterinarian, and DR.
Andrew NJ. Soule, president of the
State College of Agriculture, will fl
nally result in serious injury to one
and possibly both of the institutions
represented in the squabble.
The whole trouble has arisen over
the failure to observe any line Of
demarkation in the operations of the
State College and the agents of the
State Veterinarian. The climax of the
dispute occurred over the question OF
producing hog cholera serum for use
in preventing the ravages of that dread
Iscourge in Georgia.
Aside from the consideration of the
various charges and counter charges
in the controversy, it is apparent that
both parties and institutions concern
ed are putting forth their utmost eff
forts to secure a favorable decision in
the fight. The result is that the State
Department of Agriculture has been
lined up as opposing the State College
of Agriculture in certain questions OF
which the entire difficulty hinges.
What the final outcome of the en-
tire matter will be cannot be accu-
rately forecasted, but it is fairly evil
dent that the open disruption of the
coalition that should naturally exist
between these two powerful and in.
dispensable institutions cannot bu
bring about a distinca lessening of thu
efficiency of each.
There is absolutely no reason why
the State College of Agriculture and
the State Department of Agriculture
should not work hand in hand for The
Accomplishment of the highest achieve
ments in the campaign for better ant
more efficient farming methods il
Georgia. Only the human equation car
affect such a program of progress ant
the introduction of purely personal sc
ments into question of such vital i'm
portance to the people is nothing les
than the highest folly.
While it is probably too late to ware
off dire injury to the cause involved il
the present controversy, it is to be de
voutly hoped that the future conduc
of the institutions and organization
which are working for the bettermen
of conditions in Georgia will be har
monized in such a manner as to OBJ

NOW GET BUSY AND STAY BUSY

President Wilson has cut the ship

of both Gen. Goethals and Mr.. Denman
The quarrel between these men was
doing the nation injury, delaying the
work of building ships to defeat thl
u-boat and had become a scandal

ing more will be heard from the Elmer
gency Fleet Corporation and the ship
uing board, except the sound of hard
work in the nations interest. There
has been pickering enough, quarrel.
ing enough, talk enough, and too lit
tie work The president did not act
any too quickly.
What the people want now is the
building of serviceable ships in as
great tonnage and as quickly as is
possible, with the primary desire to
put the ships on the sea UGH faster
than the German submarines can sink
them, and with the secondary desire to
put the United States in position to
bid for high rank in the list of sea
freight carrying nations after the war
is over. Chief Constructor Caps as
Gen. Cocktails successor, and Edward
N. Hurley as the new chairman of the
shipping board have no doubt been
chosen by the president with the ex-
perience of the late quarrel as a guide
1t may be taken for granted that what
ever divergence of opinion occurs be-
tween them will be settled without an
exhibition of stubbornness. Geo. Goe-
thals and Mr.. Denman each believed he
was right, no doubt, but the differ
ences of opinion between them had
deepened into a PERSONAL
fuss Both of them have lost much
prestige because of the incident.
