FARMERS WILL TRY SOYBEANS Several Adams Co un t y Farmers to Test Out Various Varieties In cooperation with the agricultural extension department at Purdue several Adams county farmers will try out different varieties of soybeans on their farms this year. Since the soybean has firmly established itself in most parts of Indiana and is grad ually gaining headway in hilums county the agricultural extension has realized the importance of having farmers use the varieties adapted to their conditions aud to the use they are putting them to. Most farmers ae unacquainted with the habits and characteristics of different varieties of beaus have regarded "soybeans” as being simply “soybeans." As a result the wrong vaieties have been used in many instances and the farmers have been discouraged. For instance. some farmers have reported that hogs fail to eat soybeans when hoggin down beans and corn, and investigation revealed an early variety vas used which was too ripe by the rime the hogs were turned in. Since togs do not like dry. mature beans they could not be expected to eat hem. However, a late variety which would have lieen immature at the lime the hogs were turned in would

have proven successful if proper steps were taken to teach the hogs vhat soys were before turning in. In rthe cases, small, early low yielding arieties ha been used and small rops were obtained, either as seed >r hay. In order to demonstrate the differ■nt varieties, arrangements are beng made with several famers to sow mall plots of other varieties along me side of the field. This will show he individual farmer and his neigh •ors just what can be expected ot he different varieties under the saint ield conditions Seed of different veil-established varietes is being fur lished by Purdue and soybean grow nrs of the county. It is desired that a farmer in each community try this out. if possible. Anyone interested should get in ouch with the county agent's office.

i t inted Press Service) Washington, Mar. 22 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—Senator Robert M. Lafollette of Wisconsin, progressive leader for many years, is maintain ing a sphinx like silence regarding any plans he may have for winning a presidential nomination. Although Lafollette believes that Attorney General Daugherty h:ql him in mind when ho referred to the ‘one man" who might oppose President Harding for the Republican nomination in 1924. the doughty progressive leader refuses to reply in any way the Daugherty challenge or give any inkling of his plans. "Not a word," was his only com ment today as he raised a protesting hand in response to inquiries as to whether or not he would be a presi dential candidate. > Despite his silence, a Lafollette for president boom has taken definite form, it was learned. It "won't get far," Attorney General Daugherty said in announcing President Harding's candidacy for renominatiou but party, leaders here, see, in ; it. the possibility of— ' ’ 1— A split in, the Republican ranks in 11)24, permitting a Democrat to step through the breach into the White House. 2— A third party that, may develop sulliicicnt strength to live after *the 1924 campaign. In maintaining silence but sawing wood, Lafollette is said to be pursu-

ing the policy he laid down at the progressive conference hero lust full. i « Luloilettu's theory is that any third party must come as a result of u demand from the country. The sumo principle Ims been applied to his candidacy. , SURE SIGNS OF SPRING (United Press Service) March 21 is the First Day of Spring ; New York—A third avenue sa- ‘ loon keeper hung out a bock sign ; and almost started a riot.
