it was weeds and not the soys that
got back seat. for the seasons per-
fofmance. The beans gave no evi-
dence of injuring the corn and filled
the gap when the corn for various rea-
sons laid down on the job. ae
In "apology" now for this story, I'll
say that the weather man was gener-
Gus with moisture, but not being able
to get my mind off these beans,
dread to think Of what this generosity
would have brought on in the way Of
weeds had the beans not been there.
AS usual in most fields capable Of
at least so bushels to the acre, it is a
matter of soys or weeds. If you've
ever hogged down crop of soybeans
and corn you'll vote for that combi-
nation rather than corn and weeds
every time.
Where soys haven't done well, l
think most always it has been the
fault of the grower. 1t was little
difficult for some folks to get over the
notion that soys should be planted

BROTHER-IN-LAW
DIED IN NEVADA

J. C. Fleming's borther-in-law
Thomas w. Vandiver, died at his
home in Nevada last Tuesday, after
lingering illness.
He was native of Missouri, born
in Charlton county, October IA, 1850.
He came of Holland ancestry, but his
father was born in Virginia and set
tied in Missouri in 1878, and exper-
fenced numerous thrilling encounters
with the Indians and other perils in
cident to those pioneer days. His
maternal grandfather was pioneer
of this state and commanded a COM
pany during the Black Hawk war.
Mr.. Vandiver was educated in the
public schools of Charlton county,
supplemented with course in 1.-THE
normal at Kirksville.
he began his career as deputy

APRIL RAINFALL TO
DATE $50 INCHES

The rainfall for April has reached
$50 inches was the report of Mr..
Reeder of the United States weather
bureau this afternoon.
The normal amount of rain during
April is $40 inches, so up to date
the amount is already more than dou-
BILE what it usually is. For purposes
of comparison Mr.. Reeder gives the
following statistics concerning un-
usual rainfalls in the month of April {:
In 1892, $50; in 1893, 11.30 inches;
in 1904, TBS; in 1911, 6.65; in 1912,
5.34; in 1918, 5.O7. The total amount
of rainfall during the month this year
for April, totaled BAG. The total
which has fallen in March and dur
ing the first 16 days in April is 1906,
which is an enormous amount.

chute, and Witt remarked that he was
of the opinion that Horton didn't
have a, deed to the stock yards and it
was then that the fireworks started.
Somebody got a beating with a stick
and somebody finally pulled a pistol
and the darned thing would not per-
form. The same report stated that
after the pistol wouldn't discharge
Witt thought it about time to get
in the game and he left for his home.
He knew perfectly well that he had
a shot gun that had never missed fire
and he wanted to show Horton he
was real western quick trigger man.
When he came back Horton had dis

had all his trouble for nothing.

Monday Salisbury was all agog-
just gogging around until there was
nothing left to cog about, because the
prelimlnaries only had been pulled off.
The finals came up in court yester-
day, too late for the Courier to get in
on the conclusions.
What? Yes, it was real, hon
est to goodness wild, western show,
and the curtain was raised down at
the stock yards. The stars in this
one-act movie are cattle buyers who
are well known men and who have
heretofore managed to get along with
each other, in spite of the fact that
occasionally one of the contestants
managed to get load of live stock
that the other fellow thought he was
really entitled to.
Accounts are hard to get on this
affair. You go out on the broad
thoroughfare of Salisbury and at
tempt to run down this .morsel Of real
newspaper stuff and you have to take
the report with a grain of salt. It
depends altogether to whom you

Strong for Beans Claiming They
i s Charlton County Ito N1isom's Beanery

There isn't much excuse these days
for the fellow who doesn't know
BEANS" Soys, / mean; for in nearly.
every section of Missouri they have
had their trials, as well as tribula-
tions, and in fighting for a place
among our choice of crops have won
the hearts of farm folks, and now are
mighty close on the heels of our old
standby, Red Clover.
In fact, so well did we like soys that
last year more than 1000 acres were
devoted to them as main crop, and
goodness only knows how many kept
the welfare of their spring pigs in
mind by putting them in the. corn
fields. 1t is hardly unreasonable to
suppose that almost as many acres
were planted for, hogging down as for
hay or seed alone.
The Missouri Corn Growers associa-
ton itself sold 3,479 bushels for seed
and got total of $16,873.15 for the
lot, an average of $4.S5 a bushel.
That wasn't bad, especially in view of
the fact that these producers who got
that price, as rule had yield much
in excess of the state average which
run around Ia bushels to the acre.
And we must not forget that Linn
county has soybean growers asso-
citation and as such is developing
their market ,benefiting their fields
and doing thriving business which
last year enabled them to sell beans
not only to neighbors but all over a
territory between that county, Iowa,
Oregon, Texas and Tennessee.
But aside from what associations
are doing in the seed business, most
of us want to know what we can ex-
pect of soys otherwise. Thereon
hangs a tale. Up in Charlton county,
where farm folks religiously feed
their crops, my brother-in-law last
year planted 10-acre field to corn
and soys. The land was good, equal
to producing Is bushels in a normal
year and eventually did.
Here's a Whale of Bean Story
The beans were planted in a row
and rather thick. They got the same
cultivation as the corn, and in Sep
tember when ! saw the field, and just
before the hogs were turned in. 1t, the
beans appeared equal to the corn. If
the hogs could have eaten the forage
to advantage those beans would have
given feed value to the field of many
times that of the corn alone. AS it
was, there was bean plant to
every stalk of corn. Now,
since feeders will agree that the corn
will go almost twice as far with
good protein supplement, this field,
making rs bushels of corn to the acre,
had feed value of around $50 BUSH
els to the acre for hogging down.
I say this even though my worthy
sire admonished me not to make it
that strong, "since folks will think
sure you're telling a whale Of. lie."
However, each bean plant produced
from 100 to 200 pods, with from 2 to
8 beans in each pod. Figure it up
yourself, and keep in mind. that a
good ear of corn will run from 1000
to 1900 kernels to the ear.
But there is even more to this SEEM
ingly exaggerated tale. Instead OF,
weeds soys were there and planted
thick enough to make good crop
almost as good as if planted by them
selves. In other words where the
corn was good, the beans seemed to
be playing Second fiddle" but where
the corn had been taken by pests,

RUBY TO COACH ILLINOIS

Columbia, MOI. Craig Ruby,
coach of two TIGER basket ball teams
which won the Missouri Valley Con-
ference championship, and three times
an all valley forward will not return
to Missouri to coach basket ball next
fall, according to well founded reports
in circulation.
Ruby has declined to make any
statement regarding the question of
his return next fall, until Athletic
Director, z. G. Clevenger arrives in
Columbia from the east, where he has
been attending meeting Of the bas-
ket ball rules committee, but his ac-
ceptance Of position in the Western
conference, reported to be at Illinois,
is expected then.
Ruby is known to have recently
made trip to Urbana to confer with
Illinois authorities, and upon<his re-
turn to Columbia he was given a sub
stantial increase in salary by Mis-
souri, the Illinois offer, however, il
is reported, was still better, and the
Tiger coach has decided to accept.

souri, are-Medium Yellow, which is
especially adapted to the northern sec
ton Of Missouri; Morse, for center
section as well as the good soils of
the southern section; the Virginia,
which is especially adapted to the thin
soils of the Ozark section. The Will
son is fine bean for planting with
corn for either silage or hogging
down. 1t also is the best hay variety
of the group. The Virginia has been
giving some excellent results in the
Ozark section. Thus far it has sur
passed all others on thin land and is
the only variety which the college of
Agriculture can unqualifedly recon-
mend for that section.
Folks who have tried incubation
think it is quite the proper thing.
tests made in many states gave re-
suits showing it good thing, too. 1t
stands to reason that if the land has
never been in beans and if the bac-
terra are not there and the nodules
will be few and far between, and in
addition to the feeding value of the
crop, soil improvement shouldn't be
overlooked.
The best demonstration I have seen
in regard to incubation was on
field in Maryland. Where bacteria
had been supplied the vines were
fine dark green, and where it was
lacking the color was pale yellow.
This treatment made little difference
in the size of the vines, however, but
since we know it is due to nitrogen
that the dark green color appears, it
is reasonable to suppose that inocu-
lation helped supply the seed with its
protein content as we'll as leaving
some fertility in the soil that would
not be available from the beans which
were not treated.
Get Up-tO-the- Minute Information
All there is to know about soy
beans hasn't been written. All their
users are not catalogued, nor will it
ever be known just what extent this
crop will increase the fertility on Mis-
souri, farms and swell the bank ac-
counts of feeders. The straw after
hauling is mighty good for cattle and
l know of one man who always win
tiers bunch of mules on ito If you
happened to live in China you might
be using soybean milk in your coffee
and mixing soybean cheese with your
rice. And even in this country if your
better half ever drags you off to
chop suey restaurant as mine some
times drags me, that dark brown Ii
quid you put on your Chinese dishes
will give you taste of soybean
sauce-the Chinaman's catsup.'
But this is sufficient for one time,
and to get further into the subject,
to find out more about the dozens of
varieties tested out, why they have
been discarded, and what methods of
planting, cultivating, harvesting and
otherwise caring for the crop, sent to
the college of agriculture for the
new soybean bulletin which Professor
Helm and Etheridge have just prepar-
ed. 1t is a soybean encyclopedia for
Missouri. But at any rate, make this
a soybean year in the state. Soy
beans haven't resulted in any ruined
farmers or farms thus far-and we do
know that they've made some mighty
real money for farm folk in the past.
I wouldn't advise that you try bean
cheese, but the crop as we use it, is
different proposition, and you'll find
it paying one nine times out of ten.
