A BONANZA IN BEANS
A Practical Farmers Experiments With
New Food and Forage Crop.
(From the Greenville News.)


(From the Greenville News.)
The popular idea of bean crop is a
few rows of the plants in garden IN
tended to supply the family table for the
vegetable season, and field of beans
would only be looked for in an immense
truck farm. But B. T. Perry has been
experimenting on his Sans Souci farm
near the city with new variety of bean,
which he believes is calculated to revolu-
tionize agriculture in this country by
furnishing wonderfully prolific, valua
bic and cheap food and feed crop that
can be adapted to any soil.
The new vegetable is called the ''Soja
Bean" 1t came from China, whence
civilized Europe has captured SO many
of its most valuable discoveries, and was
introduced in Europe at the Vienna Ex-
position. The cultivation Of the bean
spread rapidly in Europe, whence it
naturally spread to this country. MIR.
Perry saw accounts of its remarkable
growth and great food value, and along
with Col. Wash Shell, of Laurens, he
ordered last fall peck Of the ''Soja's"
paying Sl50 peck. He planted
an acre and last fall gathered 80 bushels
exclusive of eleven bushels wasted,
which he sold for 81 peck or 81 q
bushel, making Sl56 as return for the
acre.
Mr.. Perry is delighted with the new
crop and has great faith in its possibill-
ties, The bean will grow in any soil, he
says. It does well in low ground too
wet for anything else and yet it is hardy
enough to stand the severest drought.
It requires less cultivation than cotton,
being planted in rows three feet apart
and two feet apart in the drill with three
stalks in hill. The beans are about the
size of COW peas, yellow when dried, and
with very thin shell. They come three
in pod and the pods grow thickly on a
stalk about like an ordinary cotton stalk.
The plant sheds its leaves, furnishing
fertilizing material for the ground equal
to COW pea vines, and the crop 8 har-
vested by pulling the stalks up by the
roots and storing them in barn until
they are cured. Then the beans easily
shell out, and the stalks can be fed to
cattle, making feed which experts, Mr..
Perry says, consider equal to Timothy
hay.
The great value of the Sofa bean, how
ever, comes in the bean itself. 1t pro
duces prolifcally, making on rich ground
with good cultivation, 100 bushels an
acre. The fruit, according to analysis,
contains twice as much nutritive matter
as either corn or cow peas. AS feed for
cattle it is far better, Mr.. Perry says,
than cow peas, and it makes a splendid
table dish. The beans are so rich that
they can be cooked in water alone, not
requiring any butter.
Mr.. Perry expects to plant several
acres in the beans this season. He has
had demands for more than his last
years crop for seed, sending some ship
ments to Arkansas and to Alabama. He
has furnished President McBryde, OF the
State College, with supplies OF seed for
the State Experimental Stations, and
has shipped sample lots to many proml-
nent farmers in the State. He believes
the Sofa bean is the coming crop for this
country for farmers who have stock.

HOME RULERS ON TOP.

LONDON, March 21.-The banquet Of the
National League in honor Of st. Patrlck,
which was held in the Cannon Street Hotel
last evening, was the occasion OF most en-
thusiastic gathering of prominent Home
Rulers and the delivery Of several extreme
" fiery and defiant speeches. Mr.. John
Dillon presided, and in speech acknoWl

of Ireland than the Government had. DE

As evidence of the changed state OF affairs

the pressure of the plan of campaign capltu

tenants on his estate near Loughrea, moi
only reduction of 25 per cent, but also
paid the legal costs, restored evlcted ten
ants to their holdings, and paid the expense
of their maintenance while they were e1
clu6ed from their homes. The sad history
of the past, Mr.. Dillon said, would never
be repeated in Ireland. Other landlords
must follow the example of Sir Henry
Burke. The days of wholesale e7ictiors
were over, Mr. Balfour to the contrary
notwithstanding, and the practice Of i'm

Father Byone of Boston responded to the
toast: ''The Friends of Ireland" The
American press, he said, was almost unan-
imous in favoring Irish home rule: The
friends of Ireland in America, would con-
tinue to support her claims 10 autonomy

had no desire to direct the policy Of those
who were doing the real work necessary

PRESBYTERIAN Reunion.

One of the most interesting matters
in Yesterdays American was the CORES
pondence between the reunion commit
tees of the Presbyterian General Assem-
blv and the Southern General Assembly.
This correspondence embodies the differ
ences which have prevented the consoh-
dation of the two great branches of Pres
byterianism in this country, and the
letters will be submitted to the coming
General Assemblies. No religious news
of the day is more interesting, and no
one can read the expressions from the
committees without being impressed by
the cordial feeling and deep religious
earnestness that have marked the dehb-
erations of the eminent men who hsve
handled difficult subject SC smoothly.
Briefly, the Southern committee asks
the Northern committee-we use the
sectional adiectives merely for conve-
nience-how its Church stands on the
following points of dotrine: l, Spirit
uslity of the Church. 2, The relation
of the colored people in the South to the
Church, or their incorporation into It.
8, The powers and responsibilities OF
boards, and to what extent these boards
are under control of the General Assem-
bly. 4, The attitude of opinion touch.
ING those portions of the Confession OF
Faith which more specifically involve the
great system of truth known as the Cal
whistle, and particularly whether there
is traceable any distinct tincture OF such
Pelssian and emi-Pelagian heresles as
were matter for controversy IN 1887.
On the first point the differences be-
tween the two assemblies are not great.
On the second point they radically dis
seee. s.In our Church, " says the South
ern committee, ssentire independence
of the colored people IN their church or
eanizstion is the policy which has been
adopted, coupled with the largest poss1,,
BILE measure OF aid, spiritual, intellectual
and material, which can be given by our
Church and people to our colored
brethren. The Northern committee
replies: ssOur Church is not in favor
of setting off its colored members into
q separate. independent organization.
We believe that We have great WORK to
do among the colored people for their
own salvation and for the good OF the
co11nt-y and this to be done by recog-
nizing those who are in the Church as
entitled to all the rights and privileges
that are involved in Church member
ship and ordination"
This expression is modified SO as to
leave present colored presbyteries IN
statu quo, if they desired it, with repre-
sentatives in the General Assembly.
Upon the third point the disagreement
is not radical, and upon the fourth point
there is no special difference. 1t can be
seen, however, that both committees
hold tenaciously to their doctrines and
policies. Their hearts seen to be for re-
union, but their consciences keep them
back.
It would be great event that would
witness the consolidation OF Presbyte-
rianism in this country, with its thirteen
thousand churches, its ten thousand
ministers, and its million and more mem
bers.-Baltimore American.
