est quality of hay 0f all FIVE varieties,
The quality Of hay from the Virginia
is.s while more coarse than the Wilson,
better than the others. Virginia and
Wilson are both good seed varieties
but are more inclined to lodge, es-
pecially on very fertile soils, than the
Morse, Medium Yellow, or Haberlandt.
The seed of Wilson is small, flat and
black; that of Virginia medium large,
iiat and brown.
With the large quantities Of seed
for sale, there is much danger, through
competitive bidding, of shipping seed
of undesirable varieties. Farmers
are urged not to purchase seed of the
early varieties, such as Early Brown,
Ito San, Manchu, Wisconsin Black,
etc.
Plenty of seed of one Of the five
recommended varieties is available in
this State and can be secured through
the Missouri Corn Growers Associa-
tion.
Some farmers in the county have
expressed their intention of securing
some of the Virginia variety of soy
beans. The County Agent will aid
anyone in securing some certified seed
through the service of the Missouri
Corn Growers Association.

Facts on Permanent Pastures.

Not A great deal of experimental
data is available on pastures, but there
are some fundamental things known
about the pasture grasses that should
he known by all who are contemplat-
inc 70 seed for permanent pasture.
With these fundamental facts clearly
in mind, mixture OF seed suitable 70
che field can be worked out; Inc iol-
lowing description of the different nay
may be Of some assistance,
Tfmothy-A perennial and very Vai-
uahle hay plant, too well known TO re-
quire a description. -.
Red Clover A biennial tufted
plant. sometimes called the farmers
best friend. Makes a heavy growth
on fertile, well-drained soils. MOI
mited to wet or "sour" conditions.
Renefits succeeding crops and makes
nutritious hay. Usually gives light
second crop in the fall.
Mammoth of Sapling ClOver.-A
large, coarse variety of red clover. IL
natures about two weeks later than
common red clover and so combines
we'll with timothy for hay crop. Does
not produce an aftermath.
Aisike Clover.-A perennial clover
which does best on moist soils. Will
also grow on some soils which are too
"sour" for red clover. Often. used IN
mixtures with red clover to insure a
stand. Makes good pasture and nay
of good quality.
Orchard Grass.-A coarse tufted
perennial grass. Will stand more
Shade than any other tame hay grass;
Redtop.-A creeping perennial
which will thrive under great varie-
ty of conditions of soils and climates;
t is the best wet-land hay grass and
is sometimes used as a sand binder.
The following is a good mixture to
use on much of the land in st. Francois
County: Timothy, 6 poundsi Orchard
grass, 8 pounds; Red top. 4 pounds;
Blue grass, 2 pounds; Alsike Glover
Q pounds, if land is wet and sour
If the land is we'll drained and sweet

Would Be GodseEd
to the Children

A suggestion that apparently has
great merit was recently made, per
haps first before a meeting Of the
Parent Teachers Association. When
first mentioned, the idea Immediately
drew to its Jealous support large
number of those hearing it, until now
it can really be considered as a
movement, which seems to be gain
ing greater momentum the farther it
proceeds.
This suggestion was for swim
ming pool for the use of the children
of Pennington during the summer
season, and the suggestion also in
cludes that such pool be constructed
on the old Long property, which has
been decided to the city. The idea is
to add to the health, happiness and
pleasure Of children of this city.
Could anything earthly be more
praiseworthy than such an undertak-
ing? The Times does not think SO,
and desires, here and now, to pledge
it's best efforts to such an undertake
ing. Such a pool, of suitable dimen-
sions, would not only be the best pos
sible improvement of this city prop
erty, but, better still, it would fur
nish most important means Of recre-
alton and health to the children of the
hcity.
The principal expense, as it now APP
pears, would be the securing of
sufficient water supply for the pur-
pose, which would perhaps necessi-
tate the sinking of a well in that To-
cality, as. the swimming pool would
lhave to be kept perfectly sanitary
throughout the summer season by the
reflling of the pool perhaps once
each week. But an abundant water
supply could be supplied in that To-
cality, at no great depth, and the wa
Rter supply could be turned off and on
without trouble or expense.
Such a pool would be the principal
source Of pleasure to the little ones,
Throughout the summer season, when
an abundance of pure water is so
necessary to their health and happi-
hess, both internally AND externally.
NIt is perfectly safe s3tri@se that
very large percentage Of the juvenile
population now seldom have an OPP
portunity to take real bath, in pure,
fresh water throughout the summer.
Then the pleasure that would be af-
forded by a real SWIM or even pad
IDLE in such sanitary pool. Oh my!
For the upbuilding and protection
of the children, who will be the citi-
zens of tomorrow, certainly nothing
could be suggested that has more real
merit than this proposed swimming
pool. The cost of such institution
would be infnitesimal in comparison
with its products. 1t would be con-
slant militant force in the production
of healthier, more robust and cleaner
lcitizens for the future. 1t would
mean a positive improvement Of the
Human race in this community.
| WE CANNOT AFFORD TO Do
WITHOUT 1T, AND THE SOONER
IT is INSTITUTED THE SOONER
WILL BIG DIVIDENDS BEGIN TO
POUR IN. We stop at nothing to
improve educational facilities. What
does an education amount to in the
absence of health? DO YOU FAV-
OR A CHILDREN'S SWIMMING
POOL?

The Best soybean Varieties.

The st. Francois County Farm Bu-
reall is making some efforts to get the
soybean varities best adapted to the
County used. Extensive field tests
show that the five varities of soy
beans. Morse, Medium Yellow, Haber
landt, Virginia and Wilson, are by far
the best for Missouri conditions. Their
average yield for the years 1916 to
1921, according to G. A. Helm, of the
Missouri Agricultural Experiment
Station, was % bushels of seed per
acre. They have also proved desirable
varities over the entire state. The
Virginia is decidedly the best variety
for South Missouri, especially in the
Ozark sections.
The early maturing varities like Ito
San, Manchu and Early Brown yielded
to 6 bushels of seed per acre less
than the five varieties first named.
Mr.. Helm states that one of the five
varieties, Morse, Medium Yellow, Ho-
berlandt, Virginia, and Wilson, will
fill the needs CT any purpose any
where in the state. The field crops
department Of the Experiment Etsttion
Urges that farmers who purchase
seed buy one of these five varieties,
especially if the crop is to be grown
for seed. The Morse and Hoberlandt
..s.-:ct;es are very sin.,ill:a.r, esreciisl IL
in habits of growth. Both are nom
Nining varieties, stand up well, tand
make a medium coarse quality of hay.
The seed of Hoberlandt is yellow; the
seed OF Morse is grecniHir yellow.
Medium Yellow is an erect growing
variety and stands up well. 1t is non
vining. This variety makes a fair
quality of hay. The seed is small and
yellow in color.
Virginia and Wilson are both vining
varieties. The Wilson makes the fin

Some Jolts in
Loves Speedway

An interesting recital Of a three
cornered romance has reached Farm
ington from Desloge the past week,
and is another demonstration of the
fact that two is company; three is q
crowd" The first picture on which
the curtain raised in this moving farce
was where Virgil Swearingen about
20 years old, was arrested for burg
larry; how Gladys Dunn, girl of is,
brought to his assistance Henry How
ell, a prosperous miner of 80 sum-
mers, who furnished bail for Swearin-
gen.
The next screen furnishes evidence
of the power Gladys has and exercises
over Henry, who has been making
love to her for year or more, and to
whom she is generally supposed to
be engaged to marry. 1t seems it was
mere pastime for her to persuade Hen
ny to sign Virgil's bond, which secured
for that young man his liberty, tenn
porarily at least.
The third portrayal is made while
Henry is at work in the mines, which
is his regular vocation and in which
employment he has been engaged with
unusual regularity for many years,
which has enabled him to lay aside
considerable money, which is now gen
orally considered to be not only in
good taste, but absolutely necessary,
before setting sail on matrimonial
seas.
But the next picture brings out a
phase in this romance that is appar-
entity new, at least to Henry, though
it is likely that most of the commun-
ity may have been aware of it. 1t al
so discloses that Gladys, who it is al
legged is only Is years old, played her
game we'll and succeeded in freeing
her real lover through the credulity
of the older, if not wiser, head. The
rapid flash Of the screen portrays the
marriage of Gladys and Virgil, who
hurry to the depot in order to catch
the north bound train.
The next film shows that Henry, at
work in the mines, has been Informed
Of his betrayal, ,asd ha telephones to
Prosecuting AttoShey Golfer to re.
lease him from the bond of Swearin-
gen. He is told the way to secure an
immediate release from such obliga-
ton is to deliver Swearingen into the
hands of an officer of the law. With
such an end in view Henry hurries to
the depot just in time to grab Virgil
as he was in the act Of boarding the
train.
Were the picture to end here, the
onlooker would be more or less de.
pressed, as that would he very un'

picture stop there. 1t is am old say

Prisoner Returned
to Answer Charge

Sheriff John G. Hunt returned at
noon Monday from Omaha, Neb., hav-
ing in charge Joe Hunt, who is wanted
on charge of having robbed the rail-
road agent at Doe Run Junction on
July 4th, 1921, in company with Her.
man Howard, who is now on bond
awaiting trial on that charge. Hicks
is now in Jail.
Sheriff Hunt made remarkably quick
time on this trip, due very largely to
the fact that there was no delay in
getting the necessary papers for the
return Of the prisoner, either in JEFF
ferson City or in Lincoln, Neb. Be-
fore leaving he figured that it would
require about five days for the round
trip. The time he was away was but
three days. But he was considerably
fatigued and in need of sleep on his
return. He found the weather fine in
Nebraska. Instead of snow and cold
weather he expected to encounter, he
found nothing but sunshine and mild
temperature. q s....s.:e ....:.e.
