All field crops save the legumes-

almost soil robbers, while wheat, oats,
barley and rye are heavy feeders, corn

able plant food, and thus become en-
richers instead of impoverishers of the

AvERsE TO THE HAGUE TRIBUNAL
While Accepting the Principle of Ar
bitration, He Has From the First
Been Opposed to the Hague Court
castro's Proposition Not Likely to be
Accepted. .4..--4.

Washington, Jan. 2.-The conditions
which President Castro attached to his
response to the allies arbitration pro-
posal was in the nature of an alterna-
tive proposition. Almost from the be-
ginning showing aversion to The
Hague Tribunal, Castro, while accept-
ing the principle of arbitration, asked
that the case be tried by one of the
American republics. AS President
Roosevelt had already declined to act
in the capacity of arbitrator, and as
some Of the reasons which inspired him
in his declination would apply with
equal force to the chief executive OF
any other American state than the
United States, he was obliged to with
hold any endorsement of this PROPOSE
ton of Castro. Therefore, 1t may be
dismissed from the field of possibilities,
and unless Castro is unexpectedly in
sistent upon his own plan, the original
proposition with reference to The
Hague tribunal will carry. There were
