SEY Lak a Use Qf Soybeans As Smother Crop Boybeans Give Best Results In Controlling Couch Grass In listing the many uses of soy- Peans, their value in controlling couch grass should not be over- - looked. This weed has been com- pletely smothered by continuous cropping of the infested land with soybeans. Other crops help to control couch grass, but soybeans give by far the best results, These facts have been discovered AL ie through an experiment recently ARR concluded at the Central Experl- A mental Farm in Ottawa. There, ENG four crops soybeans, corn, buck- SOG wheat and millet -- were grown Rie continuously for four years. In NA preparation for all of these crops, the land was fall ploughed. Both soybeans and corn were cultivated five times and hoed twice during each growing season, Before seeding buckwheat and millet, the land was worked to keep down the growth of couch grass and to enable these smother crops to get oft to a good start. A Two-Year Job At the end of the first year, only § per cent couch grass remained in the plot seeded to soybeans, But there was 20 per cent couch left where corn had been planted and 50 per cent in the plots seeded to buckwheat and millet. By the end of the second year, couch had completely disappeared in the soybean field. Ten per cent remained in the buckwheat field and 5 per cent In the plots seeded to corn and to millet, There still persisted one per cent of couch grass in the millet field at the end of/th ird year's continuous cropping, but\this rem- nant gave up at the--s fourth year. Corn and buckwheat had done a thorough job in three years, and soybeans in two years only. - ; PILOTS PRESIDENT As a flyer, Major Otis Bryan, Ale just has to be good--for he big Douglas CN 54 transport he pilots often carries a precious cargo.

The dea- conesses are not required to wear any prescribed robes, but they must wear their deaconess's cross .when officiating, . . . The deaconesses are not con. cerned In such matters as "calls" or preferment. They serve In their capacity of deaconesses wherever needed. at their salary of about $1,000 a year, y All" churches' are experiencing increasing difficulty in finding candidates for the ministry, and the probability Is that after the war many young men who have served In the armed forces and who might otherwise have gone to the training colleges will take up other lines of service for which thelr army life may havé been some preparation, Wars sult of this war may be a wider use of women In the Christian ministry, The Hun Unchanged Through The Ages You may rest assured -that an "inquiring reporter" would be able to find at some street corner of a North American city + couple of people who would say: "The That's bunk!

An hour passed, during which Ddve amused himself by looking out the window. Mescal certainly* seemed ° to be wrought up over the killing, for there were littla groups of people in the streets, arguing, and all looking toward the jail, After an hour Sheriff Coggswell --¢ame back with a pitcher of water and a plate of food. He opened the door cautlously, set the pitcher down inside, then the plate, and glammed the door again. "You seem to think d'm a sort of desp'rate man-killer, gheriff,'" Dave suggested. "Well, I'll say yuh done yore bit to keep up that impression since yuh struck Mescal,"" answered Coggswell, "And yore talkin' that way to Mr. Lonergan was just plain crazy. He's the coroner," "Seems to me he holds a good many offices in this town," sald Dave. "You said something there, fel- ler. What you sald to him in the courtroom, coupled with yore but- tin' in and payin' that money for Hooker, means a sure verdict against you." "Listen, sheriff," sald Dave, "suppose I was to .convince yuh I didn't kill Hooker?" "Yuh couldn't do fit, but it wouldn't make a mite of difference anyway. I got my duty to perform without fear or favor." * LJ LJ Bheriff Coggswell had impressed Dave that way from the start. The sheriff wasn't gifted with a brik llant brain, but he seemed an hon- est man. "It ain't occurred to you, I s'pose, that other folks might have something to gain by Hooker's death?" asked Dave, "It don't seem queer to you, Lonergan bringin' him In here and orderin' him out after twelve years because he was threatenin' to talk?" "What yuh mean by that?" de- manded Coggswell, "Well, Hooker talked to me--be- fore he 'dled," sald Dave. "And maybe that slimy murderer outside the window heard what he sald and figured to kill him and put the blame on me, I guess you ain't liv- ed here too short a time to know some of the things I know--about Miss Lois, for instance." "Now listen here, Bruce," an- Sims was at his slide with a gun in his hand. -- done; - I guppose,'-she-answered. swered the sheriff. "I got my job to do, and I'm doin' it to the best of my powers, There ain't nobody kin buy me, and I act on evidence," Ll * . Lois had always known by in. stinct that James Hooker wasn't her father, nor the old woman who had tended her since babyhood her mother. Her earliest remembrances were of the westward trek in the big wagon in which they had mov. ed from -- somewhere. ---to the. helghts above the valley. Growing up alone, save for the two old people, she had somehow acquired the art of taming the wild horses that frequented the waste lands above the valley, and some- times, came down to the mesa, Most of them were scrubs, but a few of them were worth breaking in for cow-ponies, and gradually Lois had begun to eke out a few dollars by selling them to Ferris, It was after she had tamed Black Dawn that she had gained complete control 'over the herd, which fol- lowed her like sheep at her signal, To sell Black Dawn to Ferris had almost broken her heart, but she knew that Lonergan had been pressing Hooker for his money, Once the judge had made advances to her, and she had struck him in the face. That was just before he began pressing Hooker for the . mortgage money, Then Dave Bruce had come along and broken Black Dawn, a noted killer, who had taken the lives of four men, Worse than that, he had come to the cabin to be the part- ner of her foster-father. When Sheriff Coggswell an nounced that Dave had: murdered Hooker in his sleep, probably. in the hope of finding. a hoard of money Lois had never doubted him. She knew that nearly all men were lke: that, Sherift Coggswell was the one man whom she trusted. = He had performed many little kindnesses for her in the past. When Her foster-mother lay dying, he had ridden all. the way into Hampton to bring back a doctor, The sheriff had roped Hooker's body across his horse to carry it down to Mescal for burial. "What you aimin' to do now, Miss Lois?" he asked the girl, "Stay on here, just I've always "You can't stay on here alone, runnin': wild with that herd of broncs, Miss Lois," the sheriff an- swered, "What yoh want is to go No Chocolate?

She was going far away into the mountains, beyond which, in her imagination, there lay a sort of fairyland. She felt that all the old life had come to an. end. And she worked like a person in a dream, the cow and threw the milk away, and let the animal amble out to find what pasturage she could: In the early part 'of the after- noon she heard the sound of an approaching rider. At first she thought it was the sheriff return. ing. Then she recognized the galt. It was one of the Cross-Bar horses. 'Going to the edge of the mesa and looking down, she saw Curran, the Cross-Bar foreman. It was more than a month since Curran had been to the cabin, and Lois' attitude toward him on the last occasion had been far from friendly. Her Instinct had told her that it was not pure benevolence of heart that brought Curran there. She watched him ride his horse over the steep edge and on to the mesa. She stood in the doorway of the cabin and watched hit raise his hat, then climb out of his-'sad- dle and come. forward.
