Villa Rica, Ga., 4-27, '18.
Having tried out the soy or so-
ja beans while here last year I
feel sure it will interest the farm-
ers there. It's a wonderful pro-
duct of China and Japan but little
known here but is becoming-
known more here now as one of
the finest food products for stock
or for the table; The yield is
immense. They grow up in
bush form like the butter bean.
The yellow is the best variety.
Justycsterday I sampled crackers
put out by a factory made of soy
beans, meal and velvet beans.
There can be no more soda crack-
ers made for sometime i nd
these are far superior as a food.
Plant in narrow rows 15 to 20
inches apart, two beans every
five or six inches where they are
to be cut for feed.. A plough
should be run between the rows
once or twice to give them a
little cultivation. Cut ju>t as
they begin ripening. They are
very attracti ve in thecaK lenai d
every garden shcu'd have them.
I prefer them to Navy or most
any other beans for table use.

U. S- Boys' Working Reserve
The U. S- Boys' Working Re-
serve is a registered army of pa-
irioti? youths between the age*
of sixteen and twenty-one,

partment of Labor to help the na-
tion where most needed to win the
war in field and factory. Every
boy physieaHy fit, of proper age,
is eligible for this non-military
ouPthe young men's help during
the past season they could have-
never harvested their fall crops...
Never before has a boy had
such an opportunity to become a.
vital factor in history. If not
enlisted in the army or navy no-
boy can better serve his Country
than by joining the U, S. Roys'
Working Reserve.. His services;
here are entirely voluntary and
may be withdrawn from mem-
bership at any time in the discre-
tion of the parent. The purpose:
of the Reserve is to enroll all
the boys between the ages of
| sixteen and twenty-one during!
| their vacation period from May
J 10th to September 1st and help.
| them find employment on their
fathers or neighbors farm, or irv
some industry which is essentia*
in helping to win the War.
