Market Good Eggs.

Every freshly laid egg looks like

SOY BEAN GROWING.
Inland Farmer.

lHldHu i iulfl'
In the past few years Ohio county,
Ky. has developed quite an extensive
business in the growing and co-opera-
tive selling of SOY beans for seed. This
is rather out of the ordinary as the
major portion of the farmers in Ken
lucky have grown these beans either
for hay or for the upbuilding of an
impoverished soil.
Four years ago a few of the farm
ers in Ohio county had begun to ex-
pertinent in small way with the
Mammoth yellow beans. AS this is a
late maturing variety the farmers
soon became discouraged in the grow
ing of this new crop. In fact, there
was a decided disposition on the part
of most of them to quit the growing
of soy beans entirely. About this
time Mr.. w. w .Browder became
County Agent of Ohio County. He
was firm believer in soy beans and
was able to persuade great many of
the farmers to give the Haberlandt
bean. an early maturing and heavy
bearing variety, thoroughly careful
trial. This bean set all the farmers
doubts at rest and many fields of
beans were sown.
Two years later, 1917, large num-
bers of farmers were growing the Ha-
beTlandt bean for seed and they were
also hogging them down when they
were planted with the corn. That
same season "A large proportion of the
acreage of beans planted for seed pro
dnction was bottom land. The beans
grown on these fields were thresh-
ed, with the ordinary wheat threshing
outfit. OF course, all the beans
threshed in this rather rough man
ner had to be recleaned before they
could be put on the market for sale.
That same year the growers, feel
ing the need Of some organization
through which they might market
their crop of beans, developed the
Ohio County Bean and Pea Growers
Association. This association is still
in existence and is doing good work

Last week we published the article
'Russianizing the American Railroads"
by request. That part of the article
referring to the relations OF rail hold
ings and Wall street does not altogether
comport with the facts. That rail Sc
curities have been used for futures on
the Stock Exchange and are now so
used is matter of every day business.
And that these stocks have been used
to fleece the lambs all over the country
out Of millions OF money there is no
part of a doubt. That railroad men
themselves have been in the shearing
is a matter of common knowledge.
The gambling public do not deserve any
defense. They might know they are
up against a crooked game. But the
fact OF the business is that millions OF
money have been taken out Of the
hands of many people and absorbed by
few spectators in Wall street thru
the medium of railroad securities. This
may not have effected the operation of
the railroads but it is one of the evils
OF private ownership, which shold not
be hidden when decrying government
ownership. But we have the same
speculation in cotton and grain, and
like the poor, we have with us always
this double dealing in futures in the
prices OF food and everything practically
we eat and wear. There ought to be
enough honesty and backbone in Con-
gress to stop it.

Safety First Campaign.

Plans are rounding into shape for
the greatest safety" movement ever
undertaken-the National Railroad
Accident Prevention Drive-to be
staged during the last two weeks of
October by Ill railroads throughout
the country under government con-
troll. C. M. Anderson, Reginal Su-
pervisor of Safety, announced to-day
that the roads of the South were
well advanced in their preparations
for participating in the drive, with
full determination to stand at the
top of the list of safe railroads when
the record is made up.
Experience has proved that the ma
jority of railroad accidents are
avoidable; that a large part of the
enormus toll of killed and injured
reported every year is due not to the
unavoidable castastrophes which
attract public attention, but the lit
tie lapses from caution which cause
deaths or injuries here and there
every day in the year. Education
and constant training reduces the
number Of lapses, big and little, and
the preaching of safety" during the
past few years has saved many life
and limb. 1t was to demonstrate
MO ut no Jlvurbof onp ha dopa fhot III q
Director General of Railroads APP
proved the countrywide campaign
about to be launched. Similar
drives have been conducted previous
ly the different regions, resulting in
convincing and gratifying demonstra-
tions.
The general drive will be directed
by A. F. Duffy, manager of tho safety
section, division of operations, from
Washington, while Mr.. Anderson,
with headquarters at Atlanta, will
conduct the Southern Regions cam
paign.
One of the first steps toward pre-
pairing railroad employees of the
South for the part they are to play
will be posting of an Octc Der calen-
dar with the dates 18th to 31st in
red in all stations, Offices, tool hous-
es, shops, cabooses and other places
where they will attract attention. In
dustries along railroad lines will be
asked to cooperate, especially in the
way of removing unnecessary hazards
and warning their own employees of
the danger ever present on railroad
tracks. Owners and drivers of auto
mobiles also are to be called upon
to help. Just before the drive begins,
cares will be distributed among all
who can be reached, urging them to
particularly careful in approach
ing grade crossings. In fact, the aid
of the public generally is wanted,
because, while the record will be
made as to railroad employees only,
the plan involves an intensified drive
to stop accidents of any character on
or about railroad property.

from it in the crops that follow for the

Lime for wheat if you have not al
ready done so. Your county agricul-

you in regard to details.
Apply one ton of burned lime or two
tons OF crushed limestone to the acre,
and disk it into the soil. A good plan
is to subsoil your land without turn
pillow. Spread the lime. Follow then
with disk, and then with the seed.
Select good seed. II you cannot find
a good variety from one OF your neigh
bors, one of the following kinds may be
ordered: For average uplands, Fulcast-

bearded; Poolo (beardless); Mediter-

(beardIess); Fultz (beardless); For rich
bottom lands, Fultzo-M mediterranean
(beardless); Early May (beardless).
Clean all seed with tanning mill to
remove small grains, weed seeds and
smut balls. Heavy grains yield more
than light ones. II you must sow
smutty seed, treat it with bluestone or
