SOY BEANS TAKE
PLACE. OF OATS
Production Of Seed During Past
Few Years In Corn Belt Has
Become Profitable.
SEEKING COMMERCIAL OUTLET
Possibilities Of Utilizing Crop for OIL
and Meal Had Much to Do With
Increased Aereage-oroWer
Afforded Cash Crop.

prepared by the United States Department
OF AGriculture.)
The soy bean Is rapidly taking a
place as a major crop In the farming
systems of the corn belt, replacing
oats to a considerable extent and TAX
ing part Of the corn acreage. AL
though primarily used for forage, pas
ture and ensilage, the growing Of seed
during the last few years has been a
very profitable industry, The produc-
ton of seed has now increased to the
point where the supply greatly exceeds
the demands for planting.
Seek Commercial Outlet.
County soy-bean associations. grow
ers, county agents and extension off,
cIals, notably In Illinois and Indiana,
have concerned themselves In the de-
velopment Of a commercial outlet Of
the seed. AS a result, the production
of oil and meal from corn belt grown
soy beans seems to be definitely as
sured for the season Of 1922. Several
mills in Indiana and Illinois have be-
come interested In the possibilities Of
the soy bean as source Of oil and meal.
Two mills in Illinois have planned to
use about 10000 bushels this season,
while other mills are planning on a
smaller SCALE.
Although definite figures are not
available on the acreage Of soy beans
in the various states, reports to the
United States Department Of Agricul.
ture indicate very large increases In
acreage for seed production and for
age purposes throughout the northern
and corn belt states. The possibilities
Of utilizing domestic grown beans for
oil and meal no doubt had much to do

REALIZED HIS BAD REPUTE
Untrustworthy Man Had Good Reason
for Wanting His Wife to Give
Alarm for Fire.

William Skaggs was known as the
most untrustworthy man In Klinker-
vile. He had never been caught In q
malicious lie or In circulating even an
unkind fact, only 1t seemed an impos-
slbility for him to distinguish between
fact and fiction, once his tongue was
loosed. He was humbly aware Of this
shortening.
Once a small outbuilding caught
fire. He hurried for the water bucket,
and called to his wife, "Run out to the
road and holler fire"
"Holler yourselfg" she shouted back,
while she ran with another pail.
"Me!" he returned. who'd come If
I hollered fire, I'd like to know If
they did, they'd bring matches and
kindling !"-Philhdelphia Ledger.

Harvey Samtnons. who resides on

the results Of being scalded On both
feet and legs Monday night at s
o'clock. MI Summons was sitting
near the cooking stove, with his
shoes removed, warming when his
oldest daughter, Miss Vera, came TO
the stove to set the kettle, which
was full of boiling water. Thc
steam from the kettle burned the
hand of the young lady, causing
her to drop the water vessel. The
kettle in falling struck the stoves
edge and turned over, spil!ing the
contents on Mr.. Sammons feet and
legs, scalding both to an almost
cooked condition. It is said that III
