growers, under the leadership Of ex-
pertinent station men, are getting
together from year to year to dis
cuss ways and means OF promoting
scybean growing.
The meeting this year, 1t Is an

The program at Madison will in
clude a mornings discussion Of the
problems Of successful soybean
growing in the north central states
and inspection OF plots showing var
ieties adapted to this region In the
afternoon.
A. G. Army. field crop specialist of
the Minnesota Experiment Station,
In charge Of the experimental work
with soybeans in Minnesota, reports
that there has been an enormous in
crease In the growing OF soybeans in
Minnesota In the past few years. He
points out, however, the fact that
Minnesota farmers need not only
grow soybeans with corn for siiage
and as separate crop for hay, but
should. also grow them for the sup-
ply Of the s0ybean needs Of the state.
This fact Il emphasized in recent
reports Of the Minnesota Crop Inn
provement association, which
state that this year . number of
carloads OF soybean seed had 70 be
shipped in from other states

ciety Of Agronomists at Urbana, Ill.
A. c. Army, OF the Minnesota Expert
ment station who attended the meet
Ing, explained that samples wers
selected for each of the different
corn zones, and standards for the
various zones differ. ....
Zones I and . cover the Minnesota
crop, according to Mr.. Army, and
samples of these two zones will bs

It ig the view Of crop specialists
that the selection OF samples for
standards will serve to guide the
judges In future contests. and ct the
same time win serve to educate fu-
ture exhibitors as to standards Of
corn grown in their part Of ths

MRS. COLA NJ. SMITH, wife of
Hugh b. Smith, and elder daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Gross, 1927 East
Twenty-second avenue, died suddenly
at the home of her parents last Sun
day about noon of an attack of the
heart.
Quite shock fell upon the ears of
church congregations irrespective of
denomination, when on returning to
their homes after their mornings devo-
tiOnal exercises they were met with
the news of the sudden death of
in church and club circles), the beau
tiful daughter of George Gross, clerk
in the State Highway Department, al
so president for several years of the
Denver Branch of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of Col
ored People.
The deceased was born in La Junta
twenty-eight years ago and was the
third of eight children. She resided
with her parents for several years in
Colorado Springs, where she was edu
Gated, and afterwards accompanied
them to Denver, where she lived con-
tinuously for ten years up to the time
of her death. Possessed with an even
disposition and extraordinary pleas
'antness, she endeared herself to all
who came in contact with her, result
ing in a wide circle of friends and ac
quaintanceS who with her family are
grief-stricken over her sudden demise.
She was a sufferer from rheumatism
for several months, yet had so recov-
cred as to be apparently well on last
Sunday forenoon, when after short
absence from the home her husband,
Hugh Smith, son of well-respected
eleven months ago, returned to find
her dead.

FATHER AND SONS BANQUET

A fairly large attendance of men
and boys assembled at Shorter Church
last Wednesday evening and engaged
themselves heartily in the good things
provided for them in honor of Father
and Sons Celebration. DIR. G.. F..
Holmes presided and in his usual i'm
pressive manner kept his hearers
spell-bOund for few minutes in max
ing plea for tho boys. Messrs. Hern-
don, Parks, Attorney Cary and others
offered inspiring talks showing the
coordination that should exist be-
tween father and son. The Imperial
Quartet - Messrs. Cash, Hamerter,
Holly and Nelson, rendered spicy vocal
selections and were encored, while our
popular postal employee, Robt. Davis
led the community singing with
Hewetson-Watson accompanying at
the piano. Contributions to the pro-
gram were also given by some of the
boys-the same being very acceptable.
The banquet was very much appreci-
ated and the service given by the
ladies auxiliary was excellent. More
of fathers interest is needed.
