Hotels and Other Public Places Arc
Closed for Violation OF Law.

Washington, June 10. - Federal
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
states that the paddock provision
Of the prohibition act has resulted
in the closing Of large, number OF
hotels 'and other public buildings

quarters for bootleggers, according
to Director McClanahan, and u. s.
District Attorney Todd brought the
paddock" action against the Home
Lawn Hotel at Albany, N. Y, result
Ing in the closing of the place for

"The paddock provision is the
most effective weapon against per-
sistent liquor violators," said Com
missioner Haynes, "and from reports
have received, proceedings have
been instituted against hotels and
road houses in v9rious parts of the
country. When real estate owners
find that their. property is subject to
permanent injunction, and violat-
ors find that they are subject to con-
tempt proceedings, 1t has whole
some effect"
Sections 81 and 90 Of Title II OF
the prohibition act, under which the
paddock" proceedings are brought,
provide that any room, house, build
ing, boat, vehicle, structure or place
where intoxicating liquor is manu-
featured, sold, kept or bartered, may
be declared a public nuisance, and
may be sold to pay fines and costs,
and the court may order same closed

Garden Notes.

Plant Stone tomato seeds as late
as June 25th, and transplant about
the 10th to 18th Of August. Allow
the plants to become eight to ten
inches tall before transplanting, and
set three-fourths of the entire length
of the plant in the soil.
Plant Charleston Wakefield and
Succession cabbage seed as late as
the 20th of June and transplant to
the field or garden in August for fall
and winter use. The Succession
reaches maturity about foUr weekS
after the Wakefield.
Plant collard seed also as late as
the middle Of June for transplanting
to the field in August.
For a succession of bunch snap
beans plant every ten days. 1t re-
qulres about seven weeks for the
bunch beans to mature. If more
beans are produced than are needed
allow them to ripen on the vines
and be saved for seed. Gather as
soon as dry.
Secure seed Of Lookout Mountain
potatoes now for planting the mid
die Of July. This Is the safest variety
for fall planting, and the seed are
scarce and hard to obtain at plant
ing season.
Place mature onions in Slated
crates and store in cool, dry place
throughout the summer for winter
use.
For large chrysanthemums, dis
budding should begin now and con-
tinue until the blooming season.
From one to four stems may be al
lowed to form on each plan1-.each
stem being disbudded and only one
flower bud allowed to remain on it.
For extra large flowers, allow only
one stem to grow. Fertilize and wa
ter the plants freely.
Narcissus, tulip and hyacinth bulbs
may be dug during June, the tops
removed, and the bulbs stored in a
cool, dry place. These bulbs should
be separated and transplanted again
In September or Octboer.

Reasons for Planting Soy Beans.
(From Clemson Notes. }

(From Clemson Notes.)
Soy beans will grow on poor soils
where cowpeas fail, and on soils too
wet for cowpeas, and on the average
In cultivated rows will yield 25 to
30 per cent more hay or seed than
cowpeas.
1t is usually possible to get more
proht from a. acre of soy beans than
from an acre Of cowpeas, and have
more material to turn in for soil
improvement.
Soy beans can be used by South
ern cotton oil mills to supplement
cotton seed, and thereby lengthen
the operating season Of the mills. A
ton of soy beans will make from 80
to 35 gallons Of oil and 1850 pounds
Of meal. There is loss in the mill
ing operations Of only about 120
pounds per ton.
Soy bean meal contains 80 per
cent more nitrogen than cotton seed
meal, and has a higher feeding
value.
Soy bean oil has wide range of
usefulness in the manufacture of
soaps, paints, varnishes, linoleums,
oil CLOTH etc.
The soy bean can be used in way
to return good revenue, and at the
same time be a soil-building crop,
soil improvement being the greatest
underlying problem in the South.
The above are some Of the reasons
why farmers should plant soy beans
given in Extension Circular SO, "soy
Feans," just published by the Ex-
tension Service. Copies may be had
upon application.
