Varying colors Of Diamonds.

Each of the five mines owned and

pany in the Kimberley district pro-
duces diamonds with well-marked
characteristics. The rich Kimberley
mine yields good percentage of white
and many yellow stones. Dutoitspan
mine is famed for its large yellow dia-
monds. At Bultfontein small white
and spotted stones are common. From
the Wesselton mine come many
beautiful deep orange colored dia-

a good percentage of tinted yellow and
brown stones. The Premier mine
(TransvaaD yields large number of
"off-colored" stones. The Culinan

A WORD TO
DISABLED SOLDIERS

Every man who was in the mill
tary or naval service of the United
States during the late war and who
on account of such service is not
physically fitted to engage at once
in gainful occupation, should at
once notify the District Supervisor,

Risk Insurance is charged with pro-
viding for service men discharged
because of disability incurred in ac-
tive service in the line of duty,
compensation and free medical
treatment until such time as they
are restored to physical fitness.
During the summer of 1913 there
was general combing out of the
military training camps of the coun-

standard of physical fitness, and

POPCORN IS A
POPULAR CROP
Many Iowa Farmers are
Interested In Grow
ing 1t.

Many Iowa farmers are interested
in the growing of popcorn if the
large number of inquiries received
by the farm crops department Of
Iowa State College are an indica-
ton.
Last year nearly 800 acres of
land in the state were devoted to
the growing of this crop, and an
average yield Of about 25 bushels
per acre was secured. The total
yield was nearly three quarters of
million bushels and the price this
year was more than three times
that OF field corn. However, the
yield is only about three-fourths
of that of field corn. A three year
average of the state shows the re-
turn per acre from popcorn to be
more than double that of field
corn.
The seed bed preparation, plant
ing and cultivation of popcorn is
specifically the same as for ordinary
field corn. Three or four kernels
should be planted to hill, and the
hills spaced 8 feet, 6 inches apart
when checking. The crop is har-
vested by hand husling, although
in a few instances machine huskers
are now being used. The ordinary
White Rice is the best variety most
commonly grown in this state, be-
cause of the large market demand
for it. japanese Hulless is a good
variety for home use.
