SELF-EVIDENT TRUTHS.

We desire to state that we holu
these truths to be self-evident:
That honesty is not only the best,
but the most profitable policy.
That a business succeeds only as 1T
serves.
That no business can long exist I'M
less it performs some service either
better or more cheaply than any other
agent.
That retaining the business of an
old customer is more important than
getting the business of a new custom
er.
That courtesy pays dividends regu-
larly and promptly.
That a business which is operating
without a knowledge of it's costs is
riding to ruin.
That the best salesman a business
can have are its customers.
That the greatest asset of a man or
a business is the reputation for fair
dealing.
That the goodwill of the employed
is just as desirable as the goodwill
of the trade
That all the advertising in the world
will not create a permanent demand
for an inferior product.
That success in business is more Of
ten won by men who are steady, con-
scientious pluggers than by the bril-
liant on-again-off-again boys.
That common sense is the rarest
commodity on the market.
That all of us know more than any
of us-therefore, let us not fight our
competitors but rather cooperate with
them.
That the prizes in this world go to
those who are orderly, industrious,
fair and temperate.

In most cases the demonstra-
tion was conducted on practically
the poorest soil ON the farm, but
in spite of that fact, some marked
yields were obtained. If soy beans
were cultivated as are other crops
and fertilizer used, it is difficult to
estimate the yield that might be
grown.
Mr.. Maclary reports that the
growing Of millet increases his
tonnage and aids in curing the
hay. Every demonstrator reports
splendid results from feeding the
hay to farm animals and it is es-
pecially commended as rough
age for dairy cattle.
1t is regretted that ut was moi
possible to harvest some of the
plots for seed through the use OF
the new bean huller now on the
market. Where it has been used
in Sussex county it is reported tc
be about 70 per, cent efficient and
great labor saver. With the
perfecting of this machine the

EXPERTS TELL VALUE
OF SOY BEAN CROP
Local Farmers Receive De-
sired Information on
Subject

Farmers of Delaware who are
increasing their acreage of soy
beans each year are asking, 'What
value is this crop of the soil ?"
Chemical analysis shows that soy
bean hay contains about 81 lbs. of
nitrogen per ton. With two tons
of hay as fair yield each acre of
soy bean hay would have in it 102
lbs. of nitrogen. Further evidence
shows that about one-tenth of the
nitrogen is left behind in the
stubble and roots or about IL lbs.
per acre Where the hay is fed
to live stock and the manure re-
turned to the land most of the
above nitrogen would be returned
back to the soil. DR.. Hopkins our
best authority, says that about
two-thirds of the nitrogen gather
ed by soy beans comes from the
air, which will vary with the
fertility of the soil. The more
productive the soil the less nitro

vice versa if the soil is poor.
Therefore if the beams are used
as above about Is lbs. more nitro
gen will be returned to the soil
per acre as a net gain. At the
present price of nitrogen at 80
cents per pound this increase
would be worth S22.50 per acre if
purchased as nitrogen in fer

| With a production of 20 bushels
of soy bean seed per acre, about
| 70 TBS. of nitrogen would be sold,
or within 5 lbs. as much as the
crop gathered from the air. AL
though only pounds Of nitrogen
are actually lost, per acre, by the
beans, it is important to know that
a net loss of 70 lbs. of nitrogen
per acre would have resulted if
the beans had not been inoculated
'Or, if corn had been grown and
sold something like 100 lbs. of
nitrogen would have been lost per
acre.

amounting to $500 10 on hedgehogs, bay
ljnN and black bears were paid by the
state auditor Yesterday. Payment was
made for 2,l26 hedgehogs at % cents
each, nine bay lynx at s. each, and two
black bears at SO each. The payments
were made possible by the transference
OF $1,000 from the contingent fund to
the money available for bounties by the
board of control at its last meeting.
! he last legislature appropriated the
sum which has been customary, $1,000,
and raised the bounties from Is cents TO
- cents on hedgehOgs and from 50 to s.
on bay lynx or bobcats. The raise was
not considered in making the appropria-
ton and consequently the appropriation
was practically used no by Oct. l. The
raise in bounties stimulated hunters
and a large number of bounty applica-
tions We're received which could not be
paid until the contingent appropriation
was made.
