VELVET BEANS GOOD

that &c is more profitable to feed

and that more beans will be eaten If

The objects of the experiment were
to compare velvet beans i'm three forms

termine the most economical forms in
which velvet beans might be fed in fat

It was hoped that the tests would show
possibilities of grain conservation in
the production Of beet as a wartime
measure.
The cattle used in the tests were
10 good -two-year-old steers in which
shOrt-horn blood predominated. They
were bought last February in the East
St. Louis market. where they were Sc
lected out OF shipments from Illinois

were fed for 1I2 days.
The average daily ration consumed

and 40 pounds Of dry r~oughage. This
lot made an average daily gain of 30

only those which seem 10 possess SUI
pcrior merits retained. If il is possible
TO reduce these 10 one or two. il is de-
siraLle to do so. Further progress
along this line consists in increasing
the progeny of the selection or selec,
tion~ rs rapidly as possible. At The
end or the third season n sufficient
quantity should be available TO plant
the field crop. It is desirable to main
tain "a seed plat each year and to con-
tinue the process Of hill selection and
the development Of pure strains. In
order TO practice potato selection in

true conception Of the type OF the
variety or varieties being used.
Immature Seed.
Relatively few W in the United
States really maintain Il seed plat,
and still fewer practice planting the
seed plat at a considerably later date
than h main crop in order TO secure
small 10 medium-siZed immature tu-
beTs. as Is the custom with many Eng
lish and Scotch seedsInen. In planting
the seed plat designed for the pro-
ductiOn Of seed for the main crop the
following season, IL IS desirable to
plant two or t~hree-ounce whole tubers.
The use Of whole tubers insures a per-
feet stand and n minimum percentage
of diseased plants. At the same time,
as a result OF late planting and the
heavy set produced by whole seed. the
tubers 10 not attain a large size and
are thus ideal for seed purposes. The
date Of planting the seed plat should
be governed by the locality in which
the potatoes are to be grown. In gen
eral, 1t might be said that the seed
plat should be planted as late as it is
possible to insure n good tuber devel-
opment before the plants are killed by
the frost in the utumn.

tinctive class by itself and il must be
unobtrusive. Mourning hats follow the

BoIshevik Embassy In Berlin Called
Sedition Headquarters

Copenhagen, Nov. 8.-The diplomat
ic break between Germany and the
Russian soviet government was fore
shadowed by the Berlin newspapers a
few days ago, when they charged that
the Russian embassy in Berlin was the
central point for the distribution of
seditious literature.
They pointed out that more than 400
couriers had been employed by M. Jof-
fe, the Russian ambassador, during the
short period he had been in Berlin.
Ambassador Joffe categorically de-
MED the charges, but the accidental"
discovery of a package Of inflamma-
tory handbills in the luggage of a boil
shevik courier was held to demon
strate the falsity Of M. Joffe's state
ment and was promptly followed by
the breach in diplomatic relations.
