LEWISBURC LUTHERAN
CHURCHES ARE UNITED

LEWISBURG, o., Feb. 10-Probably
one of the most important events In
the annals of the churches OF Lewis
burg occurred when two of the local
churches were amalgamated into one
The two congregations to take such
action were the Salem Lutheran and
the Memorial Lutheran.
At a morning congregational meet
ing held in each church the merger
proposition was put before the con.
gregations and each voted unanimous
ly in favor of the amalgamation. Re
ports of the action taken by each
congregation was conveyed to the
other by messenger Immediately afte1
which all met in the /. o. 0. F. ban
quet hall for dinner.
Converting as o united body after
dinner in the Salem church, the mer-
ger was completed by adopting con-
stitution, naming the new church
electing officers and transacting other
business. The new church shall be
known henceforth as Trinity Lutheran
and the officers elected, all of whom
are deacons, are as follows: w. H.
Horn, Frank Albert, G. M. Kumler, Ira
c.. Albert, Robert Bunger, Andy Al
bert, M. A. Cupp and c. w. Pontius.
Half Of the officers are from the orig.
inal Salem congregation and half
from the Memorial.
Before disbanding the old officers OF
the two old congregations will trans
fer the various church properties TO
the new organization and take such
legal steps as shall be necessary.
Possibly the Memorial church will be
transformed into parish house, as
the Salem church edifice will become
the house of worship because OF its
size. One of the parsonages will prob
ably in the course of time, be sold.

and for the production of oil and meal
have brought about greatly increased
prices. The seed Of the best varieties
Of soy beans is selling for $3.50 to 81
per bushel of 60 pounds. AS the mer-
its OF the crop are better appreciated,
the demand is not likely to diminish.
Utilizing soy-bean seed as feed is dis
tinctly profitable. In addition to the
value Of the seed, the benefit to the
land on which the beans have been
grown and the use of the thrashed
vines as a source of feed must be TAX
en- into consideration.
The average yields of soy-bean seed
to the acre In various sections of the
United States range from about Is
bushels in the northern states to about
20 bushels in the northern part of the
cotton belt. The average yield in east
ern North Carolina, the largest seed
producing section in the country, is
about 20 bushels, although many fields
produce 30 bushels or more to the acre.
Maximum yields of so bushels ito the
acre have been reported from North
Carolina and Tennessee.

SHUCK PROTECTION FOR CORN
Many Growers sFaiI to Realize They
May Reduce Damage to Grain by
Improving Covering.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Most corn growers fail to realize
that by improving the shuck covering
on their corn by selection they may
reduce the amount of damage done
to the grain. Growers generally con.
slider nothing but the ears and kernels
when selecting seed. In weevil-infest-
ed sections in particular, variation in
the damage of ears is frequently OBJ
served, but IL the matter is considered
the cause is usually attributed to va
Ration in the hardness of the grain.
Weevils attack corn of all degrees Of
hardness. and their progress In con-
suming the hard corn Is only slower
than that in the soft. Some observers
have concluded that since weevils are
able to eat the hardest corn. they
would also cut their way through the
most resistant shucks I'm order to feed
upon the grain, IL sufficiently urged by
hunger. Others have observed that
earwOrms may cut holes through a
large percentage of the protecting
shucks and that 'veevi!s will enter
through these holes, and they have

.GOOD POINTERS
FOR BEEKEEPER
Not Always Easy to Determine
Whether Cellar Is Giving Sat-
isfactory Results.
Thermometer IS NECESSARY
Few Measures Given So That Keeper
May Decide Whether Methods
Could Be improved-There
Should Be No Moisture.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment or Agriculture)
IT Is often difficult for the beekeeper
to know whether his bee cellar is CIV
ing the best results, for he may not
have been able TO determine from
reading or observation of other cell
lars whether 1t is satisfactory. Below
are given few measures which the
beekeerer may apply to his apiary
and his cellar. so that he may be able
to decide whether his methods of Gel
lar wintering should be improved.
(1) During the winter thermome-
ter inserted In the entrance of the
hive should show temperature Of at
Least 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
(a, There should never be any con-
derived moisture on the covers Of the
hives, and certainly never any on the
bottoms.
Keep Cellar Dark.
(3) While the cellar should be kept
dark at all times. If candle is held
at the entrance Of hive at the end
Of January 1t should be several sec
onds before any Of the bees break
cluster. Frequently the cellar doors
may be opened In March without dis
turbing the bees.
az There should never be many
dead bees on the bottom Of the hives.
The live bees should be able to push
them out as they die during the win
ter. The bees thus carried out will be
found OIL the cellar floor just below the
entrances. II there are bees all over
the floor, it shows that these bees have
flown from the hives-an indication of
poor wintering.
(5) The bees should be quiet during
the late winter. Noise at this time
indicates that the bees are disturbed
by an accumulation of feces, caused
by low temperatures or poor food.
(6) If the bees We're In good condl-
tion in the fall and have been wlntered
well, the loss during the winter will
never be more than one-sixth of the to-
tai population of the hive. Such a
loss is excessive, however, and In
well-wintered colony it may be as low
as a hundred bees. This probably de-
pends to large extent on the age Of
the bees which go into winter, and If
the temperature Is right, and the stores
good there will be almost no loss of
vigorous bees.
(O The bees should not leave the
hive while they are being carried

TO INCREASE FARM PROFITS
Iowa County Agent Tells Why Some
Farms Are Made More Profit
able Than Others.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
In a recent report to the department,
w. A. Dickinson, county agent, Floyd
county, Iowa, attempts to show why
some farms are more profitable than
Others. Owing to the fact that farm
labor has been exceedingly scarce, In
some districts during the present sea-
son, many operators have attempted to
increase the efficiency Of their man.
labor as much rs possible. They have
done this by using larger machin-
cry and more horse power. They have
also tried to secure more even dis
tribution of labor throughout the year
by. growing a variety OF crops and
keeping live stock. In some cases q
portion of the crop has been harvested
by the live stock. They have also kept
close tab on the work that required
immediate attention. and they have
avoided work which could be post
poDed while more productive work 70
ceived immediate attention.

from the cellar. If they do. it indi-
Gates that they are excited by an ac-
cumulation Of feces.
No spottino.
(S) Before removal from the cell
lar there should be no spOtting of the
hives from dysentery. There may be
little spotting after the bees have
had free flight outside, but IL this
Is small In amount Il does not indi-
cate a serious condition.
(9) When the bees are taken from
the cellar there should be no moldy
combs, for the cellar at the right tenn
perature will be too dry for the growth
Of molds.
(10) There should be no brood when
the colonies are taken from the cellar.
Brood-rearing In the cellar Is proof
that the cellar is too cold or that the
food used by the bees Is inferior.
(11) Enough brood should be In each
colony at the opening Of the main
honey-flow to fill completely IL Lang
stroth frames.
I (12) The population. Of the hive
should not decrease appreciably after
the bees are removed, from the cellar.
Such condition. known as spring
dwindling, is an Indication of poor win
tering, For three weeks after the
hives are set out no new bees will be
emerging, but the loss Of bees during
the time should be SO small as not to
be noticeable.

GROWING SOY BEAN
rs VERY PROFITABLE
Seed Industry Is Being Developed
in Many Sections.
Increased Prices Brought About by De-
mand for Seed Purposes and UtilI-
xatIon as Food-crop Also OF
Benefit to Soil.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The soy bean Is very profitable
crop when grown for seed, and the
seed-growing industry is being devel-
oped In many cott0n-growing sections
and In the southern part of the corn
belt. The character of growth, its uni
form maturing habit, and its large yield
of grain recommended the soy bean
for seed production. The many disad-
vantages which attend the harvesting
Of cowpeas are not common to the
soy bean. The increased demand for
seed for planting purposes and the
utilization of the dried beans as food
