CARE URGED IN
STORING SOY BEANS
Cool, Dry Place Most Suitable For
Storage

With the largest soy bean crop in
years, many growers who harvested
their first crop this year are asking
what precautions they need to OBJ
serve in storing the beans, says c. R.
Snyder, County Agent. A higher pro-
portion of the total acreage than for
usual has been allowed to mature be-
cause Of ample hay and forage with
out them, he reports.
The crop this year in the six lead
ing bean growing states-0hio, In-
diana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and
North Cardinals estimated at 3d.
541, 900 bushels, nearly twice that Of
1884 and three times the six-year
average for 192S-SS.
Mr.. Snyder says that the farmer
who uses the same care in binning
or sacking his soy beans that he
uses in storing new shelled corn or
freshly threshed small grains Is not
likely to have any difficulty with
apoilage. Care should be exercised,
however, in storing beans TO be used
for seed purposes to have them thor
oughly dry and clean, he advises.

Music Furnished BY P.
M. C. GIee Club And
Evergreen Band.

Wednesday night marked the
opening OF what promises to be 9
brilliant season for Evergreen For
est No. 40, 7. C. L. This occasion
opened the last part Of the 1885 sea
son and incidentally the last half OF
George S. Grier's term as Grand Tall
Cedar, that has been so successfully.
Taking charge of the Forest in
1894, he has done more to place
Evergreen Forest back to her former
position than any Grand Tall in re-
cent years.
On this occasion, men from all
walks Of life gathered in the Com
munity Building, Milford, for a few
hours of clean fun and frOlic. The
Tall Cedars have often been called
the playground of Masonry. This ev-
ening ran true to form as a spirit Of
good fellowship prevailed.
The steller attraction proved to be
the guest speaker, Col. U. s. Grant,
grandson of the famous Civil War
General, who spoke on the United
States Army"
Colonel Grant made an excellent
address, explaining the several or
ganizations of the army and how it
fits into the general scheme of ey-
eryday American life; also the part
1t plays in the various sections Of
the government.
He particularly stressed the inn
pOrtant part the CCC organization is
taking at this time.
Colonel Grant who is commandant
at Fort dupont and commanding Off
Ger of the First U. s. Engineers re-
ceired a r0using welcome from the
audience, as he was introduced by
Senator Louis A. DFexler, and an
other as he concluded his address.
The Pennsylvania Military College
Glee Club was without doubt the
hest that has appeared in this part
Of the State. Their singing was above
the average. These boys have the
goods and certainly did deliver It.
