0s.-pgPV. or AcelcygT0RE . HOWU0 GROW WIN LIMA BEANS D

Lima beans should not be- planted until the ground is thoroughly warmed 1p, as they are a heat-loving crop and the seed will rot if planted when the ground is cold. Most gardeners prefer the pole varieties, as they yield better than the bush varieties and are su perior to the bush varieties in many other respects. One marked advan taSe of the pole beans is that they may be planted around the fence, utih ting the fence as a support for the vines In this manner a crop of beans can be secured with the use of min mum amount of spacing
 When planted in rows in the gar den. pole Lima beans are usually planted in hills to 4 feet apart and supported on poles or string and wire 1rcilis.
 The bush Limas are usually drilled in rows some 3i5 feet apart for horse cultivation. or slightly closer for hand cultivation. The Lima beans are aa fun season crop, that is, they occupy the ground for the entore growing season. and a sufficient amount should be planted to provide for the needs of the family for the entire season. Any surplus not JJsed green may be all lowed to dry on the vines, picked and stored for winter use.
 Lima beans constitute one of the most satisfactory crops for growing for winters use. as the only care necessary 10 save them is to pick the ripe pods, dry them thoroughly and shell the beans. In the northern DOT ton of the country where Lima beans do. not thrive, pole beans of the Lazy Wife variety will give satisfaction U. $. Department of Agriculture.

 The farmers of the United States are by far the largest single body of men engaged in useful production. They have furnished more than twice, l think more than three times as many soldiers to the national army, as those furnished by any other industry. They are being told, daily. that upon their efforts depend the supplies without which the war cannot be won;-can- not even be continued. And yet the Federal Board of Farm Organizations has recently pointedly told the Presi- dent that there isn't d single genuine farmer in any position of authority on the Food administration or any other war board!
 There is much to-do and hoity- toity about helping the farmer" to | be sure. Much otherwise useful air is wasted in speeches and many reams l of good white paper in printing ap- peals and the scattering of immature, undigested advice, mostly from people whose knowledge of the practical side of farm problems is nil.
 It would seem as if, when the high i est efficiency is desired in any par ticular form of industry, the first suggestion of ordinary common sense would be to put the organization of that efficiency into the hands of the man or men best fitted by experience and previous proof Of capacity to un- derstand all it's practical difficulties and invent means for overcoming them
