using five to seven seed to the hill. EX-
periments indicate that the drilled
crops yield the heavier.
A final narrowing may be given just
before the seed comes up. Level cult
walton should he practiced after plant
ing. The bean is Shallow-rO0ted
plant, hence care should he exercised
to avoid injury by cultivating deep
near the plant. Following the appear
ance of the blossoms, and after the
vines begin to run, cultivation should
be done at less fre0Eent intervals, eX-
cept in case of severe drought. This
has /? tendency to check vine growth
and TO encourage seed production.
| Beans should not be cultivated when
| the foliage is wet because it has a
! tendency to encourage anthracnose. A
one-horse cultivatOr or twO-rOw truck
crop cultivator are excellent tools for
| this work. surface corn cultlvator
can also be adjusted to this purpose.
The crop should be harvested as
soon as the pods mature and before
they begin to shell. On field basis a
! cutting tool is required. A special bean
harvester can be secured or surface
corn cultivator may be adapted for this
work by removing the two inside
blades and the rakes. Set the two out
side blades to form a "V' with the in
side point just touching so as to shave
the plants off at the surface of the
ground. Growers report the use of an
ordinary pillow with long shear and
the mold board removed for cutting
the vines. On small patches the vines
may be pulled by hand.
The pulled beans, while still damp,
are forked into small piles or they may
be punched with a side-delivery rake.
| The piles should not be over 21a feet in
diameter, and to feet in height. If
the shocks get wet, they should be
opened and turned as one would hay.
As soon as the shocks become fairly
dry. the crop may be stacked under
shelter or threshed. The threshing
should not be done until the beans be-
come bone dry.
The vines, which have gone through
a sweat and are properly cured, have a
tougher seed, and hence there is less
damage from split beans in threshing.
A grain separator may be used for
threshing beans. Take out all but one
row of concave teeth and alternate
rows of the cylinder teeth. The beans
should not pass back over the cylinder
second time. The machine should be
operated at low speed from 300 TO 400
revolutions per minute, A limited acre
age can be threshed with fail or beat
out with stick. In this way, there
is very little loss and at the present
high prices hand cleaning can be done
at profit, as n winter job.

SEEKCHROMITE SUPPLY
Uncle Sans Biologists Predict
Increased Output.
United States Now Producing Badly
Needed Mineral Which Formerly
Was Secured Abroad.

The importance OF chromite as
war supply in the manufacture OF ar
NOR plate, armorpierclng proJectiles'
stelllte for hlgh-speed tools, and auto
mobile and other special steels can
scarcely be overestimated. according
10 experts OF Uncle Sans geological
survey.
The chief sources of supply for the
United States during the past few
wears have been RhOdesia. New Gale
donia, Turkey and Greece.
The greatly increased trade espe-
cially in steel, and the consequently
larger demand for chromite, have stlm-
ulated the search for It In the United
States. as shown by the phenomenal
Increase in production, the amount
sold in 1915 being only e55 TONS as
against more than 1900 tons In the
following year.
In Maryland and Wyoming there has
been only small production, but N
the Pacific coast states, especially Cal
ifornia, the advance in the output has
been remarkable. In Oregon the pro-
duction was more than 10000 tons; in
California it was nearly 44,O00,
It is evident, the surveys experts
state, that for some time TO come Cal
ifornia will furnish the chief domestic
supply. With a lively demand and
good prices bodies of ore farther from
the lines Of transportation will be
worked. The production from some
deposits in 1917 is expected to far ex-
ceed that of last year.
Prospecting for chromite may dis
close other supplies, 1t is believed by
experts of the survey, and the most
profitable deposits will be those In
areas of serpentine that are adjacent
to cheap rail and water transportation
or connected with it by good roads.
Cheap concentration may in places i'm
prove the grade of the ore available
for profitable mining.
With the known supplies of chromite
and others whose discovery within
the limit of practicable transportation
throughout the United States is conf
IDENTIFY expected, there is a good reason
to believe that the domestic output of
chromite could be so increased as to
go far toward supplying the domestic
demand if our imports, except those
from Canada, were cut OF.

The small-seeded type of navy called
the pea bean is in greatest demand.
An increased acreage of beans will
be an important contribution TO the ma
lions food supply. But to make this
increased acreage most prolific, we
must Standardlze our varieties. Plant
only the navy bean, preferably the
small pea variety. This will assist the
grower in finding Il market for his sur
plus. Buy seed from reliable seed deal
ers II possible. Should this supply be
exhausted. the beans sold at stores for
cooking purposes can be drawn upon,
| First buy Il small amount, or secure
sample for termination. Test between
| blotters, and IL the test shows 50 per
cent termination or better they will be
safe.
\ sandy loan is best for beans. In
many places the soil may be too fertile,
causing overluXuriant growth of vines
so that the plants bloom but sparingly
and but little seed sets. Bottom lands
are not adapted to bean growing for
| this reason, and also because of dis
| eases, some of which are more preva-
lent under conditions where heavy
dews and lack of air drainage are
| found, rs on such lands. For this rea-
son a location is to be preferred where
! there is good air drainage. Newly
| turned sod may be used for beans with
good results. Such land is apt to be n

! growth. Land which is somewhat i'm
poverished is better than a rich soil.
The land should be prepared in the
spring. because if this is deferred I'M
til planting time much of the moisture
which should he conserved for the sum-
mer pe,lod will have been lost by evap-
oration or used by weeds. The seed
bed should be prepared after plowing
| and followed at occasional intervals
with the harrow. This will kill the
young weeds and conserve the mOis-
ture. In this way much of the weed
! fighting can be done before the crop Is
planted. From IS to 20 quarts of pen
beans are required per acre. Larger
varieties require more seed, ranging
! from the quantities named, to one
bushel per acre, according to size.
The bean is distinctly a warm-seasOn
crop and should not be planted until
the soil becomes thoroughly warmed.
| If planted too early the seed is likely
to rot in n cold soil and will not germi-
nate uniformly, making uneven ripen-
! ing. The vine growth is more likely to
! be excessive than when planted later
ld checked by the hot, dry weather.
Generally speaking, the first half Of
/ June is ample time for planting shell
beans. and in several instances fair
yields have been secured from plant
ings made as late as the first of July.
The limitation on late planting is the
ability of the crop to mature before
frost and unsettled weather for har-
vesting.
Unlike most plants, the bean brings
it's seed leaves to the surface when
terminating. If planted too deeply,
this is made difficult. On the other
hand, a crop planted shallow may suf-
| fer from moisture. From ~ to .
inches is a good average depth. For
small acreage a hand drill is satisfac-
tory, the rows being commonly spaced
2S to 80 inches apart, with the plants

Why Frank Stood.

In the midst of a recitation in the
primary grade at school Frank, six
years old, suddenly arose and rigidly
stood at attention beside his desk.
The teacher, mildly surprised, asked,
Frank, why are you standing"
81 am standing because the Star
Spangled Banner is being played, and
you should always stand when it is
played" he answered.
The teacher, listening, could distln-
guish the faint echoes of the national
anthem being played on the piano in a
distant classroom of the upper floor.
Appreclating the spirit of the young
ster, she promptly ordered the entire
class to stand until the piece was
concluded.

Causes of Cracks in Concrete.

Cracks in concrete pavements will
likely be a less battling problem to
builders as the result of seven-year
study of their causes recently conclud-
ed by specialists in the Office Of public
roads of the United States department
Of agriculture. Observing particularly
the expansion and contraction due to
alternate wetting and drying Of the
concrete, records were made Of the
values of these moisture and tempera-
ture movements under various condl-
tions. A waterproof covering, such as

rapid change in moisture content and
greatly retards the expansion and con-
traction.

 q am complimented that you should consult me about the character of the convention which the order is expect ing to hold this year, but I feel very great and unaffected diffidence in of fering any advices; only. this is clear to me, that it would be highly advan- tageous from every point of view if ev- cry convention of this sort of men, in fluential throughout the country, should be devoted to the finding of ways in which their concerted action can assist in solving the manifold problems which confront the country in the conduct of the war. The parade might naturally be the outcome of such counsels, and suggest to the eyes of the people who witness the very serious purpose and the united sentiment of the order.

MESA, June 30.-There is a three year-old son of a soldier of the United States who wants to be taken to his grandparents in California, while the father goes to France. Is there anyone going to make the trip via train within the next few days, who will chaperone the little fellow to his destination? This is the story
 Last November a fond little mother died and left her baby boy with only his young father to look after him. On May 27 this father was called to the colors and inasmuch as his boy was ill with the measles, he could not take him to the grandparents in California.
 Now the boy is well and strong and the good woman who has been looking after his welfare is in re- ceipt of a letter from the grand parents st.ting that if some person will take charge of the little fellow, they will meet him in Los Angeles. They themselves do not feel able to make the trip for the child.

 Working out from the convict camp at New River toward town, the county prisoners sentenced to hard labor have been employed on bettering road con ditions. According to F. G. Ayers of the county engineers office, the ven ture, tried for the first time in this county a few months ago, is a great success.
 The convict road camp was planned by County Engineer Harold Bargman now in the service, for the purpose Of utilizing waste labor. MT. Bargman made the plans for the camp and the road improvement work which is being carried out to the letter by MT. Ayers.
 MT. Ayers stated yesterday that Ire had no idea of moving the camp at the present time, but would continue to employ the men on the Black Canyon road. There are now 14 men in camp.
