Velvet Beans Give
Good Winter Grazing
For Cattle and Hogs

Velvet beans are an important
grazing crop for cattle and hogs in
the South in autumn and winter, ac-
cording to specialists of the United
States department of agriculture
They are not grazed we'll by horses
Or mules, or by any live stock until
after they are we'll matured =, or
frosted. AS the leaves, vines. and
pods decay but slowly when sub
Jected to weather conditions, velvet
beans will furnish feed until early
spring. 1t is usually better to let the
crop stand until it is we'll matured
or until 1T is killed by frost, as the
leaves will be off the plants at that
time and the corn which has been
planted at the same time may be
gathered with less difficulty
The amount of grazing which will
be afforded will, of course, vary with
the growth of the crop and the GUAM
tity of corn not gathered, but it is
the custom with many cattlemen to
allow one-third to one-half acre a
| month for each steer or COW. The
usual period for pasturing velvet
beans is about three months, but this
may be shortened or heightened as
deemed advisable. When the period
is longer because of large acreage in
proportion to the number of cattle
there is necessarily some loss of feed
through decay.
Hogs should be permitted to follow
the cattle, as they will consume
practically all the beans which the
cattle fail to get. A common prac-
tice is to allow one or two hogs in
addition to the cattle for each acre
of beans. A good stand of velvet
beans should produce about $50
pounds of beef and 100 pounds of
pork an acre.

This Kind of Bait
Is Deadly to Rats

A study of barium carbonate as a
rat poison, made by the United
States department of agriculture, in
dicates that a 20 per cent mixture
with food makes a satisfactory bait.
With this percentage a rat ordinar-
lily needs to eat only one-third or
three-eighths Of a meal of average
size to get a fatal dose. 1t was
found that with this dose many of
the rats poisoned died within "a
hours, though an occasional rat was
found which survived an even larger
amount, thus indicating that 100 per
cent mortality is not to be expected
in any case.
A summary of results of expert
ments conducted by various persons
with view to determining the dead
| illness of barium to different animals
| shows the fallacy of the assumption
that barium is poisonous only to
rats. 1t is pointed out that the fatal
dose Of barium per pound tends to
decrease relatively rs the size OF
| the animal increases, and that a bait
! calculated to be fatal to rats may
be assumed to be more or less dan
gerous to small domestic animals
also.

Sought to
Prevent Gambling in
Grain Futures by Tax

WASHINGTON. Nov. 30-Preven-
ton of gambling in grain futures
through prohibitive tax on all spec
ulative deals in grain is to be sought
by Senator Capper. of Kansas, as
the chief item in a program of leg
fslation which he intends to propose
soon after congress meets next
week.
Senator Capper, who arrived in
Washington Monday, said the anti
grain gambling bill probably will
provide for a tax of 10 per cent of
the value Of the goods involved on
all speculative deals in grain. This
would practically prohibit such deals,
he said.
Other items in Senator Capper's
program include establishment of
the war finance corporation to pro-
vide credit for home manufacturers
and farmers; provision for credit to
foreign nations to, stimulate foreign
trade; strict governmental economy
and reduction of the vast army of
government clerks. He also plans
to urge immediate return to the
United States of all American SOL
diers now on foreign soil.

May Use Wireless
ToGiv Market News

Arrangements for trying out the
wireless as a means of sending out
agricultural market news to the
farmers of the country are being
| made by the United States depart
ice will be offered to half a dozen
or more counties adjacent to the
District of Columbia, going out
probably from the wireless station
of the federal bureau of standards
to numerous private licensed opera
tors who would aid in distributing
the reports to farmers and others
interested in the territory covered.
Should the experiment prove
practicable the service will be ex-
tended to other parts of the coun-
try. Although no system of divid-
ing the country and of operation
has been determined upon as yet, the
calls for the use of II wireless sta
tions throughout the country. There
would be ten 25O-mile radius sta
tons. eight in the east where mar
ket centers are more numerous and
closer together, and two in the far
Maine and New York, to be located
in the northeastern part of the
country, and five 500-mile radius
stations west of the Mississippi
river.
Each of the distributing radio sta
tions would be connected with the
Washington office and with the 9TH
err distributing stations by leased
telegraph wires, and twice day
would receive for immediate release
by wireless a summarized report O.

''Sweet Potato Speical''
For Carolina Counties

With a view to cutting down the
waste between the grower and the
consumer of sweet potatoes, an ex-
hibition car known as "Thel Sweet
Potato Special" was sent through
nineteen counties of South Carolina
during September and October by the
United States department of agr1-
culture extension service. and Glenn
son Agricultural college, with the Co
operation of several railroad COM
panies. The car carried demonstra-
ton material on the proper harvest
ing, storage, preparation and market
ing of sweet potatoes, together with
model of a practical sweet potato
storage house.
Farmers in South Carolina, in COM
mon with ten other southern states,
market only small proportion OF
their crop. The department, through
the cooperative extension service,
aims to cut down this waste through
promulgati better methods.

Editor The Memphis Press

NEW ORLEANS. La.-Out of the
sensational drop in raw cotton prices
and the closing of Central European
cotton markets, there has developed
here. in the gateway of the south, a
movement which leading southern
financial men declare will revolu-
tioniZe the business of the twelve
principal cotton growing states.
By December 10, it is expected,
$6,000,000 worth of stock will have
been sold for the. creation of a great
southern export bank, and this bank
will then Immediately begin opera
tions in the single line of financing
southern exports, chiefly cotton. The
site of the bank will be New Orleans,
and its entire stock will be subscrib-
ed by southern banks and financiers
Second Bank Organized Under Edge
Law
The bank is unique in that it is the
second export institution organized
under the Edge law, sanctioning the
formation of such combinations in
1t will be three times larger than
the first Edge law bank, formed in
the east several months ago.
Almost within the last six weeks
there have developed in the cotton
states two great movements, both
in their infancy, yet both making
such progress that they promise sue
cess.
The first of these relates solely to
the farmer; it is a general south
wide movement for cooperative
farming organizations to promote
better agriculture and united mar
keting. The second movement is
for cooperative financing of this
marketing chiefly through exporta-
ton, and it's best example in this
new export bank, although there are
several other export associations on
foot which promise some degree of
success.
These movements are not simply of
sectional interest. They vitality af-
feet the W hole nation.
capitalization Of $4,000 900 Planned
The Federal Foreign Finance cor
poration, the name of the new south

at a meeting of more than 100 lead
ing bankers from the entire south
New Orleans bankers pledged more
than $1,000,000 in stock and all banks
in the south are being asked to SUBJ
scribe at least per cent of their
capital and surplus. Although a
minimum capitalization of 100000
was provided, plans call for an ul-
Innate capital of twice that amount.

Canada Pays Farmers
Wheat Dividend of
18Cents Per Bushel

WINNIPEG. Manitoba-A final
dividend of IS cents a bushel
will be paid to farmers by the
Canadian wheat board, accord
ing to an announcement made after
a recent audit of the books of the
board. The payment will be made on
participation certificates" the
method used by the Canadian gov
eminent to return to farmers profit
made by the government on their
1919 wheat above the guaranteed
price.
This payment will bring the 1919
price, based on northern wheat in
storage at Fort William, to $263 a
bushel or an average price through
out the year of $3.50 at points of
shipment in Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta.
The board has already distribut-
ed $38,000,000 on interim dividends
and payment of the remainder of
$28, 100000, it is expected, will be
completed before the first of the
year. More than $60,00O,0O0 repre-
sents the share of farmers in the
prairie provinces. The other $6,OOO,-
600 will go to eastern Canada and
British Columbia.

Sunshine Is Fine
As Cholera Remedy

A few days work in the pig pens
and yards scraping, disinfecting
and cleaning is pretty good hog-chol-
era insurance, says the United States
department of agriculture Strict san
ttation is the best aid the farmer
can give to the work of the hog
cholera serum. 1t is unwise and I'M
economical to depend entirely upon
the serum to protect the swine from
this costly disease. In 1918, the
farmers paid a serum bill of over
$5,OOO,OO0 and they still lost $50, 000,-
600 worth of pigs. There can be no
doubt as to the effectiveness of the
serum treatment. but the sensible
farmer will do what he can with
shovel, hoe and disinfectant to re-
move the cause of the trouble. The
threat of cholera is always present
so long as there are undrained cess
pools and Walows. Straw stacks
should never be left from one year
to the next if they are where the
hogs can reach them. Shelters and
pens should be so constructed that
they may be easily cleaned and ex-
posed to. the sunlight. A few days
devoted to work of this sort in the
fall when the hogs have been taken
from the pens will do much to pro-
tect the herds of another year

Any rubbish, dead vines or plants,

decayed manure from the bottom is
scattered over the pile and thorough
y mixed with it to form rich soil
for next years beds. Over this goes
a coat of straw or leaves held down
oy bits of board to keep it from

Some farmers find it convenient
to use evergreen boughs instead of
straw for the outer covering.
New hotbed pits should be dug
so that they will face the south, and
the location should be selected so
that the bedswill be protected from
cold north winds and late spring
storms. Sometimes the earth taken
from the new pit is suitable for use
N the hotbed, but this is the ex-
ception rather than the rule. A few
loads of leaf mold from the woods
mixed with the natural soil will often
form smooth, rich stoneless mass
which gives an ideal hotbed filler.

open SHOP" IN
KANSAS COURTS

TOPEKA, Kas., Dec. 2S.-The ques-
tion Of open shops is before the Kan
sas court of industrial relations, it
was announced today. The applica-
ton of the Fort Scott Sorghum Syrup
Company for the obrogation of its
contract with the local union of the
international brotherhood off iremen
and oilers is the first case brought
by the employers under the industrial
act.
The industrial court act specifically
recognizes the right of labor unions
to bargain collectively but it also rec
ognizes "the right of every person to
make his own choice of employment
and make and carry out a fair, just
and reasonable contract of employ
ment."
The Fort Scott Company stated it
desired to operate only one of it's
five boilers and man it with a chief
engineer and an assistant but the
unions insisted that the company must
retain the regular tiremen.
