Anti-Dry Fight Seen, as Vets Score
Victories in Primaries.

Washington, April I3.--For the
first time since the anti-saloon league
blew its hot. dry breath across the
United States. sweeping everything
before it, the small liberal elemen,
in congress seriously believes that the
tide OF popular favor is turning
against the Voistead law SO strongly
that something can soon be done
towards modifying the law-probably
along the line OF light wines and beer.
The Notwithstanding have said be-
fore that sentiment was turning
against Volsteadism but they said it
is matter OF principle and were not
sure OF their ground. This time they
sincerely believe it and their belief is
shared by surprisingly large num-
Ter of dry congressman.
Three notable liberal victories.
scored at the polls this week. have
contributed largely to this belief.

BATES COUNTY FARM
BUREAU NOTES
Ira Drymon, County Agent.
Too Late to Sow Oats. But Soy
beans Planted Later Supply
Good Substitute.

Many farmers who realize it is now
too rate to SOW oats will be interested
in the results of experiments with
soybeans as a substitute crop at the
Missouri Agricultural Experiment
Station. These results, according to
c. Z. Carter, extension specialist III
field crops, indicate that soy beans
are the only substitute for oats worth
considering.
The experiments of several years
have shown that spybeans' planted on
early plowed, clearly cultivated land
may be depended upon to yield IL
tons an acre of hay equal to alfalfa iii
feeding value. They should be plant
ed in rows with corn planter at the
rate of 20 pounds to the acre.
There are two important don'ts to
be remembered in growing soybeans,
Don't plant them too early, and don't
plant them too deep. And that
means, plant them about June and
about 1-2 inches deep.
The best variety for this county Is
Morse bean. All soybeans- must be
planted on clean. ground, for they
can't fight weeds,
The seed must be secured early.
while the supply lasts. And the
ground must be plowed early, the
same as for corn.
There are plenty OF seed i'll the
county, and you will not have to order
from outside the county, If you can
get in touch with the local growers.
/ would suggest to men who have
soybean4 for sale, that they advertise
in the local papers, also, notify the
County Agent, and if possible send
small sample of the seed.

EARNINGS OF u. S. RAILROADS
SHOW INCREASE FOR
FEBRUARY
Make Highest Return in Moro Than
Eighteen Months.

Washington, April I3-Railroad:
of the country are getting back te
days of prosperity, figures as to thci1
earnings during February presented t.
the interstate commerce commission
Thursday show.
During the month the railroad:
earned 4.57 per cent on their tentative
variations-the highest rate OF re-
turn in more than I8 months. The
Improvement is shown in striking
fashion by the report that this Febr'l-
airy the roads made profit Of S47'-
10000, as compared with deficit OF
$5,17o,S67 in February, 1921.
The figures arc significant because
they indicate railroad earning are arc
increasing so that the interstate com
merce commission will be justified III
making rate reductions in the nea'
future, if the upward trend Of earn
ings continues.
Earnings during February were
$14,834,ooo under the amount neces-
sary to have enabled the carriers to
make 6 per cent return.
During February the roads in the
eastern district earned considerable n
excess OF per cent. the average be-
ing III per cent. The net operating
incom in this district was $29,335,Soo
as compared with a deficit Of $7,o27,-
5o2 i'll February, 1921.
The roads in the other districts,
however, were not SO prosperous.
The lines in the South earned 1913 per
cent. In the western district where
the agricultural depression has been
acute, the rate OF return was only 2.4a
per cent
The report reveals that the roads

Shades of Caesar! Reports come to

quite insulted by prospective men,
bers whom they approached and

be glad to help applicants fin ont
