A bushel of soy beans will put two stalks of beans in every hill of corn on fifteen acres at a cost of around 30 cents an acre. Soy beans when seeded with the corn make an Ideal condition for hogging down purposes.

Farmers all over the corn belt appreciate this fact ana thousands of feeders the past two years have seeded sov beans with their corn for hogging down purposes. We have found that the soy beans will supplant the tankage or meat meal and will give equally as good results. When Inoculated the beans leave a certain per cent of nitrogen In the soil.

TRUSTEE'S SALE IN BANKRUPTCY The undersigned will sell at public auction to the highest bidder on SHIPPED FROM STATE Investigation to Seek Source of Diseased Stock in Ten nessee. Promises to Parallel the Dor- gey Case Large Percentage Infected. Veterinary Inspectors of the Ton-nessee department of agriculture ond the Federal Bureau of Animal Industry, who tested three carloads of cattle received from Illinois a few months ago by Tennessee purchasers, found that tuberculosis existed amonsr from 50 to 90 per cent of tho animals acquired.

The section from which the cattle were received Is now under Investigation, and the case promises to parallel that of an Illinois cattle dealer who was recently convicted In the federal court for using the United Btates mails to defraud prospective purchasers of dairy cattle. Officials Determined to Stop the Fraud. The bureau, backed by the scientific and legal staffs of the department of agriculture, is determined that the new dairy communities of the. south and other parts of the country shall not he made a dumping ground for diseased cattle sold by unscrupulous dealers. Such a condition points to lh need for greater precautions by purchasers in obtaining stock.

Safety lies in buying from thoae farms known definitely to bs free from disease. Mure and more pure bred and grade herds are now being olllcially accredited as free from tuberculosis, and the further development of these sources of healthy cattle Is expected to reduce the opportunity for traffic in diseased'anlmals. Reactors Show Advancsd Stags of Disease. The condition of the three carloads of cattle found by federal Inspectors to bo more than half tuberculous was a bitter surprise to the Tennessee dairymen. In one lot of sixteen cattle, fifteen reacted to the test, and postmortem examination of all but three cows, which were held tocalvs, showed well-marked lesions of tuberculosis.

In another lot of forty-six animals, seventeen reacted to tho test, four of which were so badly affected that they were condemned to the offal tank. In another lot one of the ani mals died belors a test could made. Mason Adviser Strongly be Favors Soy Beans In Corn F. D. Baldwin, farm adviser of Mason county, gives the following strong word for planting soy beans in corn, in his published letter last week.

It Is right In line with the Pantagraph comments on that subject last Saturday: Why should farmers buy tankage, meat meal or other high protein feeds ai the present extremely high prices when he can grow a better and more digestible concentrate on his own farm for far less money?

The Old Gardener Sayi: If you want to have a (lne crop ot roses this Reason you will find It a good plan to keep the rose bed covered with leaf mould or manure two or three Inches deep until about the time for the roses to begin blooming.

Indeed, some growers make a point of keeping the ground under the rosea covered at all times, but not necessarily with a mulch. Tnfted pansies make an excellent ground cover to use in the rose bed, and the roses are all the better for their presence. Don't forget to cut your rose plants back to within a foot of the ground It you have not already done so. rl! (O. D- en ic rer busneii but on i Reaction Closed at 3 to 4c Net Decline.

Chicago, Hay 5, On of the tcvereit breaks ever witnessed In the corn market took place today, as a result of definite notice that the United states government would import wheat from Canada and that a downward re vial on of the cost ol foodstuffs was looked for In tew minutes the price of com shriveled 12c a bushel.
