earlier than some of the other var
ieties. 1t has matured in IA day
(from time of planting to cutting)
The cultural methods employed ar,
the same for practically all varieties
grown here.
Work on the preparation of the
ground should begin, of course, long
before time for planting the crop
If stubble ground is to be used ii
should be plowed in the fall of the
year and left in the rough over win
ter. This fall blowing gives the
stubble a chance to rot so that it
will not interfere with cultivation.
In the spring the ground is worked
down by discing or spring tooth har-
row, drag, harrow and level off. 1t is
a good practice to work the ground
with a disc or spring tooth harrow
two or three times following the
spike tooth harrow, between the first
spring work and time to plant. This
helps kill the weeds as they sprout
and is a means of saving expensive
hand labor later on. The one point
of killing weeds before the crop is
planted saves our farmers from $500
to $1,000 per acre and is absolutely
important.
Planting dates on our tract run
from May goth to June 10th, nearly
all the beans going in the ground the
the week in May and first week of
June. Some folks have planted
later than this but they have
also been caught with the frost Just
before planting the ground is cor
rugated and irrigated and as quickly
as dry enough on top to work down

times it is fioated again or merely a

Farmers Consider Planting
Large Acreage In Beans
Interesting Data
From Expert


Inasmuch as many of the local
farmers are seriously considering
planting quite a large acreage to
beans this coming year, we publish
herewith excerpts from a talk made
on the subject by r. e. Brossard,
County Agent of Twin Falls Coun-
ty:
The first consideration in discuss
ing the bean crop is from this fac
tor of climate. How long a period
do we have between the last frost in
the spring to the first frost of fall +?
Beans require ordinarily a period of
turity and if our season is long

have their regular runs each fall.
Threshing is usually done out of the
shock Weather conditions last fall
scared our farmers to great ex-
tent for it looked as though the en-
tire crop would be ruined from rain.
1t will undoubtedly be the practice
in the future to stack the beans as
soon as dry enough, unless machine
is to thresh Immediately. 1t was
demonstrated that the crop need not
be last even when thoroughly wet by
putting down straw around pegs in
the field and stacking the beans ON
ehese pegs; or by making stacks on
the outside of panels placed in the
shape of an inverted V. These meth
DDS will certainly save the crop but
they are expensive and are to be
avoided unless absolutely necessary.
When the beans are stacked. the
stacks should be topped with straw.
~ Is good practice to place straw
on the ground before the stack ia
started to absorb any ground mois-
ture and to act as a catcher for beans
shelled out from the stack. Soma
farmers also scatter straw in LAYERS
throughout the stack to help absorb
the moistu-e.
This section of the country grows
more of the Idaho Wonder Bean than
any other district and it is finding
favor wherever it is used. II has
even reached the high mark of 1920
over the Michigan Bean. Our high
yields and lighter expense and the
price so far received for this product
has made the farmers very enthu-
siastfc over it, so much so in fact that
it is the talk that tremendous acre
ages are going to be planted this
spring on the Twin Falls tract
North and South side).
OF course, the by-products of the
bean are worth something also es-
pecially if the grower has some live
stock. The bean straw is worth In
actual feeding value based on pre-
war prices for hay, $500 to $500.
Many farmers winter their stock on
bean straw alone. 1t is especially
to ewes just before lambing
time.
And then there is the Gull bean
which when cooked is a valuable
food and just now there Is move
ment on foot to manufacture meal
rom dried buttermilk and Gull beans,
using the beans as a base to avoid
the expensive vacuum process used
N drying buttermilk alone. This
should make a better market for
he by-products then we have at the
present time. All of this, of course,
ends to encourage the bean grow
sr to plant larger acreage. 1t isn't
to talk for the bean. 1t
eems to insist upon doing its own
alking.

HOUSE APPROVES
BIBLE READING

1.-THE Bible in it's entirey is not q
fit book to encourage school children
to read, declared Moody of Jeffer-
son on the floor of the house of rep
resentatives of the Idaho Legislature
Monday morning in opposing the
reading of selected passages in the
public schools as provided for in
house bill No. SO. The measure was
passed by a vote of As to 16. How
ever, Hall of Oneida gave notice that
he may move to reconsider the vote
today.
Moody also opposed the bill on the
ground that the bible is sectarian and
the constitution forbids the intro
duction OF sectarian tenets of any
nature in the public schools of the
state.
1.-THE Bible is sectarian," he de-
elared. "You all know it is and don't
try to deny 1t to me. The Catholics
don't believe it and neither do thel
Christian Scientists"
Moody said that if all the beauti-
full literary selections and all the
wonderful moral teachings could be
CLEANED from the Bible and presented
to the school children of the state |
the matter would be different but he
opposed the Introduction of the Bible
in its entirety in the schools.
The bill provides that teachers
shall read selections approved by the
state board of education but may
make no comment or Interpretation
on them. If questions are asked by
the children she must refer them to
their fathers and mothers OF guar
dians for answer.
''If this bill passes, said Thomp-
son of Lewis, Il can see the old fam
lily Bible coming right out from its
probable hiding place in the home
and occupying the center of the liy-
ing room table. because with the
children coming home and asking
questions about what was read to
them father or mother will have to
supply the answers. l think the eff
feet will be good and / am for the
bill" t II
Williams OF Minidoka predicted
strife among denominations if the
Bible comes into the public school
system of the state.
A motion by Egbert of Fremont to
table the bill failed.
House Bill No. 90 was introduced +
by the Gilmore County representative
and provides for the reading without
comment or Interpretation dn pub !
lie schools of selections from the 4
standard American version of the
Bible.
1t is reported that the bill will
meet with considerable opposition in !,
the senate, when it comes up for pas
sage by that body.
