George Washington was man inspired =
and his inspiration has come down to all of US,
coloring the environment in which we live.
When he became the first President of the
United States, he was called on to recite formal
oath of office. II obliged him to repeat these
words: Il do soIemnly swear that ! will faith
fully execute the Office Of President of the United
States, and will. to the best Of my ability, pre-
serve, protect. and defend the Constitution of
the United States
Washington stood on a covered portico look
ing out over downtown New York, one hand
resting on Bible, and the other raised in the
air. DutifuIly he repeated these words. which
over the years would become hackneyed. almost
meaningless, with much repetition. Then ne
added words not in the script. After reciting the
formal oath, he put in one short sentence of his
own: so help me God"
Every President since Washington has added
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-20

those words They have now become part of the
ritual; and it is good part, an essential part,
pIedging more than was originally intended
when the oath was written. For Washington,
taking on himself the immeaSurable responsible
ity of guiding and leading the American people,
looked into his own heart and found a need
which he expressed in four words: So help me
God" He spoke not only for all future Presi-
dents, but for the rest Of us too.
We do not stand alone. We do not rely solely
on our own strength; we are not conceited
enough TO suppose that we can carry the load
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-20

unaided. We will do whatever the situation
requires US to do. We will devote to it every
thing that we have in the way Of wisdom. Of
manhood. Of courage.
6ut we add. instinctively, and because it
is bred into our flesh and bones, the saving
prayer: that we will do it with Gods help, that
we rely on power above and beyond ourselves,
that we will 60 forward under the Providence Of
God to do Gods own will as it is revealed to us.
Saying those words, Washington spoke for
all of us. in all times.

Reduce SOybean
Harvest Loss

Soybean harvesting losses can be
cut in half, increasing yields two
to three bushels an acre, estimates
VIM. H. Henderson, county agri-
cultural agent.
Farmers now lose about 16 per
cent of the bean harvest from shat
ter, cutter bar and reel, cylinder
separation and cleaning mishaps,
the agent pointed out.
He added that it takes only four
beans left per square foot to total
a bushel an acre.
To reduce shatter losses to about
one percent, Mr.. Henderson recon-
mended harvesting before the beans
too dry. Cut as close to the ground
as possible to reduce cutter bar
losses, he said. because each addi-
tional inch in height of cut means
an average loss of IA bushels per
acre.
The agent noted that cutter bar
losses also can be cut down by ad-
justing the reel speed 25 to so
percent faster than ground speed.
This higher speed does a better job
of laying beans on the platform,
but adds to losses from shattered
pods. Three or four extension fin
gers on each bar also will help
prevent pile-up on the cutter bar
when you work in lodged or down
vines
Cylinder losses show up in
cracked beans, the county agent
said, especially if the beans are too
mature They should be threshed at
a cylinder speed about one-half nor
NAL, or as low as 400 to 500 rpm's.
To reduce separation losses, use
more air when combining wheat,
Henderson said. Don't let too many
beans get into the tailings, since
they will probably be cracked the
second time they go through the
cylinder.
For cleaner beans, use larger
weed screens than with wheat, the
agricultural agent advised, saying
that if you can get premium for
clean beans it will pay to get a
cleaning attachment for the bin
elevator
If you use some beans for seed,
leave these pods unthreshed rather
than overthreshing and damaging
the bens. Henderson said cracked
beans will germinate poorly.
The agent has one final sug6es-
tion to reduce harvest losses. He
urged level and clean cultivation
next summer, leaving little if any
ridge.
