Pour squ.r Miles OF Beams

DR.. Charles L. Rea, OF Kansas City,
has. growing in Stanton County,
Southwestern Kansas, on the bor.
der OF Colorado, this season, four
square miles, or 1850 acres, Of pinto
beans. The pinto is . Mexican
variety Of the bean family, and is
grown widely, without artificial
irrigation, in Mexico. and in the
semi-arid region Of the United
States. It is dry weather plant,
which, In the Southwest, never fails
to produce q crop.
Before the war oversee created
such an increased demand for food,
pinto beans sold for from fouI to
six cents pound; but now, the
allies paying fabulous prices for
food, beans are beans. and are quot.
ed in the market reports to be
worth twelve cents in Kansas City.
A fair crop in the Southwest is 500
pounds per acre.
DR.. Rea's bean field, in Stanton
County is the greatest patch Of
beans ever planted in Kansas. 1t
is eight miles around, and was ma
tive praire sod, until broken for
this bean plantation in April, this
year. In May and June, the land
was narrowed, dragged and planted.
EARLY in July, the seed came up,
and now the field presents q magni-
f1cent spread Of unbroken bean
rows q mile long.
The work OF breaking, narrowing,
dragging and planting was done by
machinery drawn by gasoline trac-
tors. The tractors on DR. Rea's
place are Of 30foot bems, drawing
s plows, s harrows, 6 drags and
planters. He had seven of these in
his field, last spring. Next spring,
he will have fourteen; for he propos-
es to double the area of the planta-
ton. Dr.. Rea has not q horse. or
other beast Of burden, on his place.

Hints For The Farmer

Get = silo and don't let any of the
corn plant 60 to waste.
Provide shelter from the hard
storms Of next winter and spring.
Fill the silo win Russian thistle
or other weeds il you have nothing
better.
Cut every bit Of grass and other
forage and stack It well. Re-rake
the fields to get every morsel N hay.
It is now worth 5000 to $1,000 per
ton.
Stack your straw carefully when
you thresh and don't waste any Of
it. It may be badly needed for feed
before another crop is gathered and
1t will sell at high price.
Give your hogs all the alfalfa or
clover they will eat winter and sum
rner. Give them skim milk. wney.
some grain, or anything else you
have but be sure to give than all
they. tan eat.
Save all the heifer calves and plan

calves and chickens next yea. thnn
you did this year. Do you know
the world is being depleted Of its
livestock?
"Plan your work and work your
Dlans" Cot reasonable dave
work, full ten hours, out Of your
horses, machinery and employees.
Make every minute and move count.
Feed, literally and well.
1t is hard to feed calves their milk
grain and hay regularly and care
fully twice q day and give them
drink OF water at noon and care
for the other stock in the same way,
but it pays. You will prosper and
we will win the war.
The Holly chieftain., 1917-09-14
Say. Your Livestock

Save all the heifer calves and
plan to raise more pigs, lambs, colts.
calves and chickens next year than
you did this year. Do you know
the world is being depleted Of its
live stock?
Keep your pigs growing. They
should weigh 200 pounds at six
months Of age and they are worth
$1,000 hundred now. Ten good
pigs are worth $4,000.
Give your hogs all the alfalfa OF
clover they will eat winter or sum-
mer. Give them skim milk, whey,
some grain, or anything else you
have but be sure to give them all
they can eat.
Keep the calves growing. Give
them some grain. seperate from
milk, and all the good hay they can
eat. Veal is now worth sixteen
cents a pound. A good veal is
worth $500.
Feed the cows well. Keep them
milking. You may dislike to see
them eat SO much, but please give
them all they can eat all the time.
The price Of milk, butter and cheese
is going out of sight. Butter fat
may be worth $l.OO a pound before
long.
Feed and handle the mares so
that you will save all the colts next
spring. Good Horses are worth SIS
q head more than they were year
ago. A good horse is worth $780,
