Beans respond to good preparation. Consequently enough attention should L naid to disking, harrowing and XpacW the seed bed. In some ledioni hating has been attempted as the method of preparing the soil for been planting. Listing, however, is noor practice, except upon soils which fsnnot be safely plowed because of their very strong tendency to blow. Where the land is prepared by listing there is a tendency to slow up the divelopment of the crop and delay maturity In addition to these handicaps, beans planted by the listing method arf more difficult to harvest; especially if there is damp weather dnring tho harvest there is likely to be much damage to the pods by coming in contact with the soil. The tendency to pick up adobe soil or stones is increased at harvesting time. If listing b done at all, it should be very shallow, so as to make the furrow to be filled about the growing plants as shallow as possible. Plow In the Fall. It is not always necessary to plow land in preparing a beun seed bed. Where the land was well plowed the year previous and in wheat, a good seed bed may be prepared without plowing, provided the wheat stubble is disked right after the binder to keep down weeds In the fall. The spring preparation may consist of disking when the weeds start, which will destroy the weeds and prevent the formation of a crust, and then disking and harrowing Immediately before planting. After a cultivated crop such as corn, which has been well cultivated, a seed bed may often be prepared by disking and harrowing. On irrigated lands after sugar beets or potatoes, it is not necessary to plow in preparing a bean sees bed. Disking, leveling and harrowing will be sufficient in these circumstances. — Alvin Kezer, Chief Agronomist, Colorado Agricultural College. Good Breeding Stock Is Best Paying Investment In support of increasing evidence that well-bred live stock pays a better return on investment than scrub stock, a Massachusetts dairyman notified the Vnlted States Department of Agriculture of his experience. He purchased a pure bred heifer bred to an excellent pore bred bull of the same breed. The heifer cost SBOO. He sold the first bull calf for S3OO, and the second one for MOO. The next calf, a heifer, sold for $125, and the milk produced by the cow during the 38 months covered by the report sold for $1,275. The total income thus received totaled $2,10*1, nnd the farmer still owns the original animal. The cow has made very creditable milk and butterfat records in the the meantime, qualifying for the advanced register. “I think this stock,” the farmer states in conclusion, “shows the value °f getting good pure bred stock for a foundation. Even after making the deduction for feed and labor, there Is a much larger return than from a grade.” Dry Place for Honey Honey does not deteriorate in qual*y if it is properly cared for after removal from the hive. It should never kept in a damp place. Put it where salt would remain dry all the time.

Prince Os Wales Not Worried By Threat Against Life (By Frank Getty) (U. P. Staff Correspondent) Yosset, L. 1., Sept. 5. —United States secret service men and dignified wax moustached representatives of Scotland Yard, who are guarding the Prince of Wales on his American visit, professed today to attach no importance whatever to a threat against the prince’s life which fell into the hands of the New Yopk police. “Just some harmless crank,” was the way one of the silent, cool-eyed shadows that stroll with apparent unconcern about the Burden estate when “H. R. H.” is at home, described the author of a rambling note which contained the threat. The note, which was addressed to “Acting British Consul Hon. A. Brouzet,” who incidently does not exist, covered four sheets of cheap paper| and contained but one legible phrase: i “I want to kill him.” It referred to the prince. The least worried of all was his royal highness. Mash notes, or crank notes, they al! look alike to Wales. By the way, where was the prince? Was he the young man who drove ' away from one of New York City’s noizie night dubs at 4:40 a.m. today: in an automobile belonging at the Bur-1 STOP HAY FEVERS With New Prescription Cleveland special* -’t almost inatrnjly orrtralires pollen pnnoniag tbruo ./ r/rter’ with urw internal preset ipu< n.

Use Red Crown The ffltyh-Gradc Gasoline For Perfect Motor Response The willing start, the leap ahead, the noiseless regularity of the piston stroke, the steady purr of a satisfied engine—all these lie in Red Crown, the BETTER motor fuel. The finer shades of Red Crown performance are due to its perfect chain of boiling point fractions. Red Crown begins to vaporize at a very low temperature, with consequent prompt and easy starting, summer or winter. Red Crown vaporizes steadily throughout the entire stroke of. the piston, thus yielding smooth and rapid acceleration and maximum mileage. Red Crown service lies in this wide flexibility. It is an ideal suel —it not only moves the car, but it gives the driver a sense of perfect control —a thrill of power —an exhilaration due to instant and eager response. Red Crowm service represents the ideals of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) carried into performance. It yields more power—greater economy more mileage — manifesting in all these the aim of the Company to provide a better motor fuel. It is available everywhere —and everywhere the same—to the man who buys 1 gallon or 1,000 gallons. At the following Standard Oil Service Station: Corner Mercer and Winchester Sts.
