by June now have extended their esti mates to the middle of August. Pressed for speed by the administra

tion on one side and pn the other by

constituents at home, demanding act

Ion, congress faces many big things to

do and quickly, if the aid of the United States in the world war is to be of its

full value. Action Much Needed.

The immediate pressing need of the aid the United States can give the entente allies in the war on Gjmany is best known to the president and bis closest advisors who have heard it from the heads of the French and British missions. Those to whom it

had been communicated have been im

pressed with the necessity of more ac

complishments. As congress today went into its thirty-seventh working day the war , program in part stood this way:

HOUSE AND SHEDS' BURN

A house and two small sheds on North A street between Second and Third si reets, were badly burned this

afternoon. Origin of the fire ia un:

known.

. BEANS Navy Beans The soil in Richmond is well adapted for the growth of navy beans, and they will be found a very profitable crop. In this locality, navy beans should not be planted earlier than the first week in June. They may be planted as late as the first of

July. The navy bean is a warm-season crop and should be planted so that growth' takes place during warm weather. It is very essential to have the soil well prepared for beans. Beans should not be planted deeper than 1 Inches in this locality inasmuch as the soil is rather heavy. Wherever seeds are planted rather shallow as in the Case of beans in this locality the soil must be well prepared in order to prevent drying out to the depth at which the seeds are planted. ' In the case of

sandy soils, beans may be planted as ; deep as 3 inches. Navy beans should j be planted about 4 inches apart in the !

rows. .The rows should be 20 to 30 Inches apart. Because, of the peculiar habit of beans in germinating the two thickened seed leaves (cotyledons) coming through the ground it is rather difficult for bean plants to push their way through the soil. If the soil should be

packed slightly by a rain after the beans have been planted, it should be scratched with a rake ia order that the bean plants can easily come through to the surface. It Ja very difficult for bean plants to push their way through a crusted soil. After the beans are... through, the,, ground, they should be given, frequent, . shallow, cultivation. ,, Navy beans are . used only "as dry" shelled beans. . Strong Beans String beans may be planted just as soon as the danger of frost is over. Dwarf or bush varieties arc usually grown in the home garden

as they are not quite so bothersome and they produce an earlier crop than pole beans. Pole beans, however, give a greater yield. The plants should stand 5 to 10 inches apart in the row. The rows should be 20 to 30 inches apart. Plantings of string beans should be made every S or 10 days in order to have a continuous abundant supply of green beans. The last planting may be made as late as July 15. ;. Green beans may be canned for use next winter. Lima Beans The preparation of the seed bed and cultural requirements are the same as for other beans. The dwarf, small-seeded variety is preferable for the home garden. Lima beans should not be planted quite as early as the first planting of string beans as they are more tender. Lima beans should be planted 8 to 12 inches apart in the row and the rows should be about 30 inches apart. Lima beans may be hulled and used while the pods are green or the pods may be allowed to die and the dried beans stored for winter. .
