BUNKS FOR THE LEGION MEN V. A. W. Steger, Chairman of Nation' at Convention Housing Committee, Has Completed Plans. Every man to his own taste In "bunks," says V. A. W. Steger, chair man of the hous ing committee of the American Le gion national con vention, to bo held In New Or leans next Octo ber. Convention visitors will bo housed In a vari ety of ways. While the bulk of tho crowd will choose the hotels nnd rooms In New Orleans homes, there will be an op portunity for a substantial percentage to remain on the Pullman cars and tho steamboats nnd ocean liners which take them to the convention city. Mr. Steger has obtained a hotel rate of $1.50 a day without bath and ?2.r0 n dny with bath. More than 14,000 visitors can be housed In tho Pullman cars, which will be provided with all conveniences of a modern hotel.

Iteservatlons for rooms, Mr. Steger lias announced, must be made through the visitor's American Legion stnte ad jutant, who will confirm them with tho convention housing committee. HAVE ARMY ON SHORT NOTICE Government Could Provide Ample Mil Itary Protection In Any Emer gency, Pershing Says. An army largo enough to guard every Important brldgo and railway terminal, all Important Industries and coal mines, us well ns governmental buildings, could be placed In the field on short notice by the United States government, Gen. John J. Pershing de clared In a statement recently Issued, telling what could be done If this country were Invaded. Eighteen regular war strength In fantry divisions of reserves, composed of 000,000 men, an expanded National Guard with 000,000 men and regular priny units, augmented by volunteers to approximately 175,000 men, could to made quickly avallublo, the gen eral sal'd. "The natlonnl defense net of 1020," Tershlng's statement declnred, "pro ecrlbed that 'the organized peace es tablishment, Including the regular nrmy, the National Guard and tho or ganized reserves, shnll Include all of those divisions and other military or ganizations necessnry to form the basis of a complete and Immediate mobilization for the national defense in the event of n national emergeucy Vecla,red by congress.' "Tho evident Intent," tho statement continues, "Is that tho system of na tional defenso shall bo definitely or ganized, that the military units re quired for service In any emergency shall bo constituted li time of peace, and that euch of them shall bo pre pared to undertako its Initial mission In time to meet the requirements of the situation." . HOMESICK FOR THE ARMY Ah Han Kook, Korean With Honor able Record In tho U. 8. A., Returnt to tha Service. Itorn In Korea, taken to Hawaii when a child, without any trnco of relatives, an hon orable record In the United States army behind him, Ah ITun Kook, a llttlo brown man, called at tho American Legion headquarters In Indianapolis t h a other day and de clared his Inten tion of "going back home" to thu army. "I was n dental ofilcer's assistant In San Francisco," Kook, private first class and specialist fourth class, medi cal department, said, producing an honorable discharge to prove It. "Tho olllcer was Dr. II. C. Foylcr, now of 822 Gay street, Portsmouth, O. lie asked me tn come to see him vhen I got out of the army, lie Is In private practice now. So when my enlistment expired In San Francisco, I got on n train and went to Portsmouth. Tho ofllcer said he would like to have mo work for him. He treated me very good and I had a pleasant visit with him, but I got homesick. The nrmy Is the only home I know. I am a mem ber of the American Legion, Sehoflehl Uarracks, II. T., post No. 0, and I heard a lot about Legion headquar ters In Indianapolis, so I thought I would like to see them." Kook was shown nbout the ofllces at Legion headquarters and the vari ous phases of the work explained to him. Then this little brown man, now an American citizen, who first entered military service In the National Guard nt Hawaii In August, 1017, nnd con tinued the service through the na tional army and the regulars until May 20, 1022, departed for Fort Ken jamln Harrison, at Indianapolis, to re enlist. "Sure, ho wns homesick for tho nrmy," tho recruiting ofllcer nt tho fort said later over the telephone. "We welcome him back." WOULD BE SECOND TO NONE James Shelley, Phoenix, Sent to West Point, Wishes to Be First-Class Officer. President Harding has appointed nnother World war veteran to West Point. James Shel ley of Phoenix, Ariz., told n "white lie" and nt sixtden wns en listed us a regu lar In the army. He served nine months overseas with tho artillery. He Is now n "plebo" at the academy w here after four years' hard work ho will be graduated a second lleutennnt. The stuff that Is Shelley's and which mndc him enlist when under age evidenced Itself when he an swered tho telegram ot West Point olllclnls who nsked: "What Is your nmbltlon?" Shelley hnd to make his answer In seven words, but It was to the point. He said: "I wnnt to bo (second to none." FOR LEGION POST IN KOREA Application for Charter Is Made to the Legion's National Organi zation Department. An application has just been re ceived for a charter fo an American Legion post In Korea by the Legion's natlonnl organization department In Indlnnnpolls. There ore 15 persons eligible foe membership In Korea nnd tho application bears tho names of those 15 persons. Tho locnl post will have Its headquarters at Kwnngju, Chosen. The post In Korea Is being organized by M. L. Swlnchenrt, treas urer of the South Presbyterian mis sion In thnt country. In his letter necompnnylng tho application for a charter, Mr. Swlnehnrt said: "Please have the application ncted upon as quickly as posslblo as wo have good reason fur wanting to get busy nnd get tho post organized Into u going concern." It Is unfortunate thnt somo World war veterans In tho United States, where It Is harder to stay out of the Legion than It Is to get Into It, don't get some of this enthusiasm mani fested by their crstwhllo comrades In arms In fnr away Korea. Carrying On With the 1 American Legion j Shell shock caused Thurmnn K. Williamson, Lincoln, Neb., World wur veteran, to forget the girl he wns en gaged to nnd marry another. The District court has Just annulled Wil liamson's marrlngc, leaving him free to carry out his first pledge. "10 Fenmies and 8 Chapeaux" Is the nnmo given a fun-making, purely social organization, formed by mem bers of tho national executive com mlttco of the American Legion Aux iliary. Tho new club corresponds to the Legion's "Forty nnd Eight" or ganlzed some months ago, which now has local chapters in all parts of the United Slates. . --fefl 4 irk SOY BEANS TAKE PLACE OF OATS Production of Seed During Past Few Years in Corn Belt Has Become Profitable. SEEKING COMMERCIAL OUTLET Possibilities of Utilizing Crop for Oil and Meal Had Much to Do With Increased Acreage Grower Afforded Cash Crop. (Prepared by the United States Department ot Agriculture) The soy bean Is rapidly taking n place ns o major crop In tho farming systems of the corn belt, replacing onts to a considerable extent and tak ing part of the corn acreage. Al though primarily used for forage, pas ture and ensilage, the growing of seed during the Inst few years has been n very profitable Industry. The produc tion of seed hns now Increased to the point where tho supply greatly exceeds the demands for planting. Seek Commercial Outlet. County soy-bean associations, grow era, county agents nnd extension olll clals, notably In Illinois and Imllunn, hnvc concerned themselves In the de velopment of n commercial outlet of tho seed. As n result, the production of oil and me.nl from corn belt grown soy beans seems to bo definitely as sured for tho Reason of 1022. Several mills in Indiana and Illinois have be come Interested In the possibilities of the soy benn ag source of oil and menl. Two mills In Illinois have planned to use about 750,000 bushels this season, while other mills are planning on a smaller scale. Although definite figures are not available on the ncreuge of soy beans In the vnrlous states, reports to the United States Itepnrtment of Agricul ture Indicate wy largo Increases In acreage for seed production nnd for age purposes throughout the northern nnd corn belt states. The possibilities of utilizing domestic grown benns for oil nnd meal no doubt had much to do - An Indiana Field of Soy Beans. with tho large Increase In noreagc for seed. Such n commercial outlet af fords the grower another cash crop as corn anil whent. Ready Market Indicated. The various ways In which the soy bean and its prodncts are utilized In tho United Stntes Indicate a ready market for the commercial produc tion of soy-benn seed. Soy-bean oil Is largoly used In tho mnnufneturo of soups and paints, and It Is alio used In the manufacture of Inrd nnd butter .substitutes, rubber substitutes, linol eum, printing Ink, and as a salad nil. Tho cake or meal Is n superior cattle feed and of high vulue for human con sumption. HOGGING OFF CORN AND PEAS Mixture Makes Reasonably Good Bal anced Ration and Animals Thrive Well on It. In hogging off corn nnd cowpens, the pigs and hogs eat the benns only, nnd not tho vines nnd foliage. This legume seed Is relatively high In pro tein, balancing tho stnrchy corn. The mixture makes a reasonably good bal anced ration; the hogs grow on It nnd gain In both flesh und fat; and thero Is more of the mixed feed thun with corn alone. FEED-FARMING IS IMPORTANT Department of Agriculture Hps Estab lished Project Which Deals With It Exclusively. Owing to the Importance of feed farming Industry, the United States Department of Agriculture has estab lished a project which deals with It exclusively. It furnishes Information to prospective breeders, as well as to thoso already engaged In the Industry, which helps them to overcome ob stacles and avoid pitfalls.

This ram, n partic ularly high-class sire, produced nearly 120 sons nnd daughters on tho ranch Inst year. Of these, 28 selected rami and 58 owes were exhibited In pens to show the uniformity and good typtt produced by tho sire. Somo of his grandsons wero so much like his sons that it wns difficult to pick them out. Stockmen consider thnt this rnm is n "find" nnd equal to the best of the breed. In addition to tho breeding work onl this range station studies are being made of various methods of year round management nnd tho effects on yields of wool nnd lambs, range Im provement by grazing studies nnd re seeding of abandoned areas of the range, shed lambing, nnd methods of watering sheep oji ports of tho rango distant from water. Fences are now built so that It will be posslblo to carry out experiments on the use of runge to the full cnpaclty. BABY BEEF VERY PROFITABLE Production Can Be Made on Land Worth Not More Than $150 Per Acre Always "Toppers." Unby beef production can bo mndc most profitable on lnnd worth not more than .$150 nn acre, of which at least 50 per cent Is easily cultivated, says W, II. Peters, acting chief of the nnlmnl husbandry division of the Uni-1 verslty of Minnesota. Uy baby beef production, he says, is meant tho growing, fattening nnd marketing of beef calves at ages ranging from 12 to 24 months, 10 to 18 months being the most economical at which to sell. "Willi sufficient fat on them when placed on tho murker, baby beeves are nlwoys market toppers," Professor Peters says. "Uaby beef production al lows raising of more calves on tho same amount of laud than does pro duction of stock or feeder cattle. Knch good baby beef steer should sell for $:H) to $50 more when ono nnd one-half years old than the nvcrago feeder steer will bring nt two nnd one-half years of nge.

Tl.i p'mhh of tho forestry depart ment hnvd changed somewhat slnco the i .mulling of tho tree planting pro gram, due to the fact that the demand for trees Is greatly In excess of tho avallublo supply. BEET TOP SILAGE IN RATION Hay Requirements May Be Lessened One-Half in Feeding for Beef, Mutton or Milk. Tho best feeding practices have demonstrated that by the uso of boot top sllnge in the ration the hny re quirements mny be reduced by one half In feeding or the production of beef, mutton, or milk. The succulent value of the sllnge supplements Its nctual feeding properties nnd that of forage and other feeds.
