CULTIVATION OF SOYBEANS URGED County Agent Suggests Proper Way And Time To Cultivate Crop Uy County Agent A weedy soybean field Is one of the most unsightly objects which may b,. seen This is not the worst feature, however. Since weeds In the soybeans greatly decrease the yield of hay and make it of very poor quality. It has never been proven that dairy cows prefer dried weeds to good soybean hay. inexperienced growers of beans are likely to neglect taking set os to prevent weeds. Although killing the weeds before the beans are sown in the best method, a large number which have sllpp»d by may be killed by cultivating the beans. The cultivation of soybeans sown solid is best accomplished by harrowing with an ordinary spiked tooth harrow. The harowtng should be done curing the heat of the day when the beans are comparatively tough. The beans should be from four to sewn inches In height. The harrow should be driven crosswise of the way in which the bgans wppe sown. The more successful growers of beans in Adams county have practiced harrowing of beans for some time and It has proven very staisfactory. Those who are In the least skeptical about it are invited to give it a trial. ——' New Federal Buildings To Be Erected This Year Washington. I). <’•. July 1. (United p reß g)—Ten great new buildings to house thousands of government workers, who now labor there in flimsy, ramshackle temporary wartime structures. are to be built in the next five years. Fifty million dollars has been made available for it in the $165,000,000 public buildings bill passed by congress and Sen. Reed Smoot, Utah, chairman of the public building commission, today promised it would bring a more beautiful capital city. Smoot expects construction to start within a year, and if he is re-elected to the Senate, he will see them all completed before the end of his next term. Hue to provision that not more than $1,000,000 can be spent in a single year on one building, it is expected that several will be under construction at the same time. A maximum of $10,000,000 may be spent in the District of Columbia each year. Smoot’s commission has made no promises as to which departments will have the right-of-way on construction, but the depar'inents of justice, commerce, agriculture, and a building for government archives, especially the important state department records, are considered to have preference, and sites have been tentatively decided on. All the new buildings, with the exception of the proposed U. S. supreme court building, additions to the government printing office and some warehouses, will be built south of Pennsylvania avenue, In the ■■ellipse’’ district, carrying out as far as possible L’Enfant. the Frenchman who laid out the capital for George Washing ton. commerce & i... -• in leased appai Inient buildings at high rent, will be in this district, which is near to the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial. The justice department will face Jennsylvania avenue across the street from the great theasury building. The commerce department will be a neighbor. The agriculture department is to have a modern building on its hilltop site a stone’s throw from the Washington Monument. The government owns these three sites aalready, although a theater and several business houses will be eliminated to make room for them. The archives building will be placed near the National Museum, about halfway down Pennsylvania avenue from the treasury to the capitol. A site must be acquired. — Q—_ _ m President Os Brazil Urges Moving Os Capital 1- ■ ■ H <J|< UJK Rio Do Janeiro, July I.—(United Press)—President Arthur Bernardes, after three and a half years at the head of the Brazilian Government, is convinced of the necessity of removing the capital of Brazil from Rio de Janeiro to a district in the center of the State of Goyaz, which is geographically more centrally located. In his last message to Congress he again called the attention of the lebishrtors to the provision of the Federal Constitution for removal of the Federal capital to Goyaz, wherje a strip was marked off by the makers of the Constitution for the future capltai of the Republic. What the nation pays for tic upkeep and development of natural beauties of Rio de Janeiro alone would be more than sufficient to meet all expenses connected with removing the capital to Goyaz, President Bernardes declared.

More Than One-Third Os The Population Os Europe Are Gamblers Uy Robert Be»t i United Press s ' Hfr Vienna, 'July 1.-(lnited 1 re. Moro than one-third of the population of Central Europe are gamblers. Each year nearly forty per cent of the adult population risk thou savings with the hope, which is sometimes tlrough rarely valued. of w.nning enough money to buy » home or p't Imps to quit work. Republics may come. Monare.i e.s may go; but rambling 'n Central Europe goes on forever. Austria, Cze cho-Slovakia, Jugoslavia. Hungary and most of the other countries in thl< part of Ute wotld have lotteries of one kind and another. Most of the lotteries are run directly by the respective governments, though sometimes churches and welfare organizations witlt the special permission of their governments use the lottery system to raise money. Into lotteries millions of dollars are poured each year: rich and poor buy tickets and store them away until the days when the drawings are made. Every possible method is used to encourage participation in the lotteries. Generally speaking, though the practice varies in different countries, every postoffice, every telegraph office, every tobacco store (government institutions in Europe) tries to sell a lottery ticket to each eostomer. Tickets are thrust at everyone who ventures to buy a postage stamp or ta send a telegram. The lotteries areof two kinds: “Class lotteries’’ and “ordinary lotteries". The ordinary lotteries are similar to those which’once were countenanced in the western world. The class lotteries are more or less a Central European speciality: one buys a ticket for a certain sum. If this ticket does not win in the first drawing he may renew it for the next period or “class" which is to be called by mak ing another payment. It it doesn't win in the second, third, or fourth he may still continue to renew it by more payments. Inasmuch as the payments are siigthly reduced each time whereas the prizes are increased in value there is a very strong psychological appeal to each participant to make the necessary payments and so “hold on for good lock". io Arthur Kiess Attending Coaching School At I.
