Hog Combine Velvet Beans and Corn
From the Progressive Farmer.

Velvet beans may be proftably
grown wherever cotton grows profit
ably. And an important fact is that
velvet beans can be marketed on the
land on which they grow. You can
sell them to the land. 1t needs them
to make fertility. Or you can sell
them to cattle and hogs. They need
them for feed.
An acre of land that will produce
fifteen bushels of corn, which is $40
pounds, will produce 1000 pounds of
velvet beans. The feeding value OF
1000 pounds of velvet beans is equiv
alent to about 1900 pounds of corn,
or thirty-two bushels. But of course
the two crops may be grown togeth-
er. Add the 1000 pounds of velvet

THEY HELP PUBLIC.

assist the railways, is discussed in in
teresting fashion in a statement by
President w. A. Winburn. of the Cen

history for any corresponding period,
and that they are spending more than
a billion dollars for equipment and
other facilities during 1928 The rail-
roads have pledged themselves to
place their locomotives and cars in

and further and to operate as eff
GENTLY as possible, so that reviving

cooperation of the public by certain
simple and practicable measures, such
as loading equipment to full capacity;
restricting so far as possible recon

shipments; prompt unloading of cars;
increased storage facilities; not order
ing cars beyond ability to load daily;
and advance coal storage and build

beans and the fifteen bushels of corn,
and their combined feed value IS
equal to that of forty-seven bushels
of corn. This double cropping costs
but little more than either the corn
or beans grown alone. With live stock
to harvest both the corn and beans
on the land they will fatten at low
cost and the soil will be enriched.
How is it done? Simply plant your
corn in the usual way but plant also
hill of velvet beans between each
hill of corn. Both can be planted at
the same time with the same planter.
Such planters are made for this pur-
pose and do excellent work. II the

BANK BONDSMEN
SUED BY COUNTY
GET BUSY TO SAVE COUNTY'S
MONEY AT ROUNDUP, MON
TANA - BONDSMEN MAKING
TRANSFER OF PROPERTY.

Roundup, Nov. 21.-Attaching all
property in the county of record in
their names and alleging fraud in re-
cent transfers of title with the pur-
pose of avoiding an obligation, suit
filed by County Attorney c. F. Huppe
against bondsmen of the Citizens
State bank who guaranteed county
deposits in that institution.
With the proceedings were filed long
lists of property held by the bonds
men, or transferred by them since
the closing of the bank, including
property attached last week by the
county for recovery OH its deposr.
To Press Surety Firms.
Surety companies whose bonds are
held by the county for deposits up to
$4,000 also are to be brought into
court unless payment on the bonds IS
made, and it is understood that Mr..
Huppe will also ask that county de-
posts in both the Citizens State and
the First National Bank be declared a
preference claim under a supreme
court decision which recently held
state deposits in a failed bank were
rightly entitled to this classification.
The total amount of the county de-
post at the time the Citizens State
bank closed is given in the complaint
as $70,074.81, and recovery of this
amount is sought together with inter
est at the rate of 8 per cent per an
mum. In addition to the two surety
company bonds held by the county,
covering deposits up to $4,000, there
are three personal bonds, guarantee
ing deposits from $4,000 to $250,O00.
Property Transfers.
Records in the offices of the county
clerk and recorder show that several
of the bondsmen have made numer-
Gus transfers of property since the
closing Of the bank and that other
property held by them has been mort
gagged. In other instances declara-
lions of homesteads have been filed,
supposedly to avert possible loss
through attachment proceedings, and
these are the transactions alleged to
be fraudulent in the complaint filed
by the county attorney.
1t is said that a hearing of the
case is not expected at the forthcOm-
ing jury term of district court, the
calendar for which has already been
set. but that institution of the suits
will prevent further transfers or the
sale of property mortgaged, until
such time as the matter may be
brought before the court for adjudi-
cation.

Veterans Bureau. They visit each
trainee every two weeks to give him
instruction and advice concerning all
his farming operations The Veter-
ans Bureau plan provides a program
for operating each farm as to crop

THE ALLEGATIONS

The indictments enumeraCe wrong
full entries in the books of national
bank, erroneous reports to the comp
troller of the currency and misappli-
cation of funds and credits as allega-
tons upon which the warrants were
issued. Different of the allegations
apply jointly to three of those named
and two are named singly.
Bonds applying to the groups and
individuals specify amounts ranging
from 1000 to $4,000.
The indictment against Peters al
leges that an erroneous entry was
made in the note register of the bank
and misapplicatiOn of funds made to
the extent of $4,000. Another in
dictment, jointly naming Noble, Pet
ers and Davidson. alleges erroneous
entries on the books charging a Ia
coma, Wash, bank with $4,000 and
Portland bank with the same
amount. The government claims that
no such charge was authorized by
either of these banks.
Another allegation is that errone-
Gus entries were made in the books
crediting Noble with $4,000 to eff
set the charge against one of the
coast banks, and that another entry
was made crediting the account of
Peters with $4,000 to offset the
charge against the other bank
Erroneous Entries
Peters, Noble and Funk are jointly
named in another indictment enum-
Grating 27 counts. in which it is
claimed erroneous entries were made
in the books whereby the Portland
and Tacoma banks were charged on
the Commercial banks books with
sums running up to 100000. Anoth-
er allegation is that they made err
roneous entries in their reports to the
comptroller, the purpose, the govern
ment says being to show a healthy
reserve.
Accounts set out in the indictnNnt
as coming under this head ranged at
different times from 100000 to
100000 and were shown in the pub
lished reports of the bank. The in
dictment against Davidson alleges
misapplication and abstraction of
moneys and credits to the amount of
