If S WjfegiieidE* : «WMW3»yw& MISS VIRGINIA McCLEARY St Paul, Minn—Out of 18,000 perjons who participated in a northwest health contest at Minneapolis, Miss Virginia McCleary, of St. Paul, was proclaimed the winner and thus established herself as the northwest's best feminine insurance risk and should live longer than any of the other contestants, according to medical men who conducted the examinations. Perfection of figure did not enter into the requirements, general health conditions being the basis on which the doctors arrived at their conclusions. Miss McCleary is a native of the east. She was born at Boston and attended the Cambridge High and Latin and the Sergent School of Physicial Culture in 1922 and 1933. Her parents moved to St. Paul five years ago. tiff EGGS ON A UNIFORM BASIS Local Produce Buyers Use Grades Prepared By Government Buyers' egg grades have been pre pared by the United States Depart meat of Agriculture in an effort to simplify egg standarils and to facilitate trading on a uniform basis be tween producers and country buyers Only two grades. No. 1 and No. 2. are provided for sound shell eggs. Ixtcal produce men are buying eggs on the grade basis. Grade No. 1 consists of eggs of an j avenge weight of 24 ounces net per dozen with a minimum weight at the | rate of 22 ounces per dozen for in j dividual eggs. The shell sipll be practically clean and sound; the air cell shall be of a depth of 3 8 inch or less, localised, and may be slightly tremulous; the yolk may be visible I and mobile; the white resasonuldy firm, and the development of the | germ may be slightly visible. Grade No. 2 consists of eggs of an averare weight of 22 ounces net per dmien with a minimum weight a’ rale of 18 mines per dogen for In dividual eggs; the shell clean or dirty bit round; the air cell having a d»pfh of over 3-8 Inch, and bubbly or Ir»ely mobile; the yolk plainly visible and freely mobile; the white weak •nd watery, and the germ develop ntent clearly visible but with no blood •bowing.

Enough loose dirt mn*t

be provided to cover the beans without having them covered too deeply. The "stand” of soybeans will be in direct proportion to the condition of the seed-bed. Seed "hogged in" will mean a poor stand with excellent chances' for weeds. Since weeds probably form Ute biggest objection to soybeans, harrowing the soybeans once or twice at intervals of a few days sowing is beneficial. This kills mil-' lions of small weeds that sprout from' weed seeds always present in the ground. Soybeans should be drilled or planted as shallow' as possible. None should he left uncovered. Although* drilling in rows is practiced where seed production is in view, thfs method of planting necessitates cultivation. I There Is no doubt but that drilling in 1 • rows will insure a better grade of soy- ) beans, of greater size and more uni-! , formity. Present labor conditions on . most farms make cultivation inad-I i visable. When soybeans are not drilli ed in rows and cultivated they should ’ be drilled with the ordinary wheat drill, all drill holes opened. When in-! tended for seed one bushel of beans - per acre should be used. More than 1 1 this amount per acre causes crowd1 ing with less uniformity in the beam, resulting many of small size being > likely. One and one-half bushels of - beans should be used when the crop > is intended for hay. This insures hay of a finer quality with a maximum 1 ’ stand. , When the beans are from four to six inches high they should be crossharrowed with the ordinary spike-too-th harrow. It is very important that harrowing not be done during clwudy 1 weather, in mornings when the dew His on or after a rain:. It should be done during the heat of a warm day [ when the beaus are not “brittle" and > easily injured by the harrow.
