HAY OF HIGH FEEDING VALUE
Soy Bean When Cut at Right Stage

prepared by the United States Depart

The soy bean when cut at the right
stage Of growth and properly, cured
makes an excellent hay Of high feed
ing value that is greatly relished by all
farm animals. As compared with hay
from other leguminous crops, s0y-bean
hay is equal or superior to any. The

which can be produced on the farm to
balance feeds for growing stock or for
milk, should reduce the quantity of
high-priced concentrated feeds which
1t is necessary to purchase.
The soy bean may be cut for hay at
any time from the setting Of the seed
until the leaves begin to turn yellow.
The crop is best fitted for hay, how
ever, when the seeds are well formed,
for at this stage Of growth the largest
yield and the best quality Of hay will
be obtained. II the harvesting is done
earlier, the percentage Of protein will
be higher, but the total yield will not
be so large and the difficulty Of curing
much greater. If the cutting is delay

RUN WITH THE

No business is ever at standstill;
nothing is. Even the mountains are
wearing away, and the sea floor is
rising. When any man tells you that
his business Is at standstill, he. is
cOnfessing that it is on the down
grade.
Full many business is not what
it seems. The frame is up, things
seem to be doing, goods are going
over the counter, money is coming
in-and yet business is going down,
down, and some fine day it will pass
out. If trade is not increasing, then
trade is falling off. This is the law
OF the market land explains many
things.
Competition is coming, and only
the strong can meet It. Sleeping
storekeepers and doing profession
ais are going to take the count. If
you want to make business connec-
lions that will last, make them with
firms and professionals that are
climbing the ladder. No USE putting
yourself out to linger with the lag

Bingham county is advancing 1t

of its population will be on the for
ward move from year to year.
Stick with that bunch, and helping
them, help yourself along.
1t Is not the people who go to an
other town to save money on pur-
chases, nor the folks who never pay
their bills that develop the best
facilities in town like Blackfoot, or
any town. 1t is the Industrious gen.
eral average. But even among these
many dollar is wasted on dying
business. Support the fresh and

out of your money, and pleasant

failures and you will be failure.
The person who is neck-in-neck
with the times is reading advertising.

look on you as some sort of a Stacker

to the great American scheme of

Advertising tells you much about

for the men who failed to salute Of

The cost Of building is higher than be-
fore the war, but 1t has not increased
in proportion to wages and the neces-
stiles Of life. Besides, building activ-
ity is needed in every locality to con-
tinue the prosperity that came with

Building a home now is good in

WAR INSURANCE
LOSES OUT
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1919-07-22

: An advisory board to the bureau
of war risk insurance, headed by
Charles Evans Hughes, disclosed the
fact last week that most of the A.
100000 officers and enlisted men Of
the late U. s. army have failed to
continue payments on their insur-
ance. The board advises decentraliz-
ing the war risk department. This
probably means the government in
surance business will be distributed
among insurance companies which
have the machinery competent to
handle it for all time, promptly and
methodically.
1t is not unnatural that most of.
the soldiers and sailors should dis
continue their insurance. Under
ordinary circumstances it takes de-
termination in man to carry suf-
ficient amount of insurance. Few
men do it. They let their families
take chance on the breadwinner's
living. All insurance men know
this. But the army insurance depart
ment issued its advices, not in any
winning way, but thru the usual
shannels, instruction slips, propa-
ganda pamphlets and by word of Of
fcers. Soldiers and sailors were
long tired OF getting instructions.
They heard much and saw much of
the disconnected methods of the war
risk bureau and even the pay de-
partment Of the army. They were
not in a mood to count on future
prompt business dealings from the
war risk department. Many were
discharged without final statement
showing to what date the insurance
premiums had been taken out of
their pay. Premium notices arrived
tardily. Things you have coming
from the government always do ar
riveA some time or other.
Maybe it wasn't the war risk
bureaus fault, but it is the reason
most of the men dropped their in
surance, fine as it was. Financial
dealings between service men and
Washington Offices did not inspire
great confidence.-F. C. X.
