SOY BEANS A FORAGE CROP

They thus compete principally with COW
peas, but as cultivation is usually requlr-
ed they fill a somewhat different agri-
cultural need. Their culture has great

IN Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia

parts of Illinois and Indiana. IL seems
certain that the crop will become one
OF great Importance in the regions mem
toned and probably over much wider
area. The earlier varieties mature even
in Minnesota, Ontorio, and Massachu-
sets.
The SOY bean Is especially adapted TO
the cotton belt anr northward into the
southern part Of the corn belt. The
early varieties mature in the northern
part Of the corn belt, but frequently do
not make a sufficient yield to warrant
growing them. Farther south, where the
latter and larger varieties can be grown,
the yield is sufficient to make their ex-
tensive cultivation very profitable. GEN
orally speaking, the soy bean requires
about the same temperature as corn. 1t
is perhaps even better adapted to q
warm climate and does not do we'll in a
&C oil climate,
The soil requirements of soy beans are
much the same as those of corn. They
will! make a satisfactory growth on poor
er soil than corn, provided incubation
IL present, but will not make nearly as
good growth OH poor soil as cowpeas.
Soy beans make their best development
or fairly fertile loans or clays. The
Mammoth variety also succeeds well on
sandy soils.
On rich soils all varieties are apt to
make a large plant growth and a COM
psratiNely small yield of seed, and on the
poorer soils small plant growth with a
relatively large seed yield.
Soy beans do not require a wel-drained
soil for their best development although
they will not grow in a soil where water
stands for any considerable length of
time. However, they are able 10 with
stand greater amount of moisture than
either corn or cowpeas. In eastern North
Carolina on the vegetable mold soils they
maize excellent crops. On this account
SOY beans are especially valuable for
growing in that region.
Soy beans are also decidedly drouth
resistant, much more so than cowpeas,

GEORGIA IS PROSPEROUS,
Says NJ. R. WILKINSON
Outlook for Business in Cot
ton Industries Was Never
Brighter, He Declares

Cotton is King has ever been the
slogan of the south. and no state of
the south comes as close to controlling
the. fate of this great crop as does
Georgia 1t is but natural that activity
and prosperity in the cotton business,
throughout it's many details and intrl-
cate ramifications, should be regarded as
a sure sign of favorable conditions
throughout the state.
In the same degree the man who is
engaged in any branch of the cotton
industry knows with a degree OF al
most absolute certainty, just what con-
ditions are throughout the south with
reference to prosperity along general
lines. He has his finger upon the pulse
of the financial and business world, and
he is almost invariably correct in his
diagnosis.
Perhaps no man is better qualified to
talk upon business conditions through
out Georgia and the south than is Nell
r. Wilkinson, vice president of the At
lanta chamber of commerce and Sec
retarytreasurer of the Van Wrinkle Gin
and Mill company. While he is never
carried away from the good, hard COM
mon sense by his enthusiasm, Mr.. Will
knson might be termed the Advance
Agent of Prosperity" for no more sue
cessfu or energetic man figures in the
commercial and Industrial affairs of the
city. Journal reporter asked him to
talk about general business conditions,
and this Is what he said:
II am optimistic as to business condi-
tions in this section, and especially as
applied to the manufacture of agricul-
tural implements, cotton gin and cotton
seed oil mill machinery, and all lines
that are Influenced by cotton property.
Within TIE last week one of our local
factories has closed contracts for the
erection of complete cotton seed mills
in this state. a 60-ton mill at Dublin,
Ga. and a 4O-ton mill at Lilly, Ga.
You will notice that both of these
mills are located in south Georgia,

A Nut for Someone to Crack.

Why do people who do not eat pork
as meat continue to use it in the form
of lard7 Lard is just as indigestible
as pork. In a recent article on cook
ing fats. DR.. Paige Emery, the eminent
specialist, writes as follows:
THE healthful and economical solu-
tion OF the cooking fat problem is the
use of Cottolene. Cottolene is purely
a vegetable product, is easily assimi-
lated, and aids digestion. Dietetic eX-
periments have shown conclusively that
when a vegetable oil Is used In cook
ing in preference to animal fat, 1t is
more easily assimilated and yields far
more nourishment to the body"
Cottolene is sold only in sealed pals,
of special design, which keep it sweet
and fresh indefinitely

ESTABLISHMENT OF THE OMNIB1


ESTABLISHMENT OF THE OMNIBUS
MARCH IS.
The improvement i'm the means of rapid
transit today, through steam and cleo
tricity. recalls to mind the slow progress
made by our ancestors I'm getting about.
The first public conveyance of any char
acter was the omnibus. and it is only
about $50 years ago that this means was
established. Paris is credited with the
introduction of this conveyance, which
took place on March ts 1862. The first
line was started on that date at o'clock
in the morning, the old chroniclers tell
us. and II was a grand and gay affair.
For a number of years previous to this
date carriages could be had in Paris on
hire. but il was too expensive for the
middle and poorer classes.
In 1862 Louis XIV authorized the es-
ia blishment of a line of two-pence-half-
penny omnibuses by company, with the
Duke de Roanes and two marquises at
it's head. The decree states that these
coaches. Of which there were originally
seven. each containing eight places,
should run at fixed hours, full or empty,
to and from certain extreme quarters of
Paris. for the benefit of a great num-
Der of persons i'll provided for, as per-
sons engaged I'm lawsuits, infirm people;
and others. who have not the means to
ride i'm chaise or carriage, which cannot
be hired under a pistole, or a couple OF
crowns a day.

on March Is, 1862, two commissaries OF

archers and as many cavalry, drew up In
front of the people. The commissary
delivered ar address upon the advantages
of the carriages, exhorted the riders TO
observe good order, and then, turning to
the coachmen, covered the body of each
with a long blue frock with the arms OF
the king and the city showily embroider-
ed on the front. With this badge Off
drove the coachmen; but throughout the
day. a provost guard rode in each car
riage, and infantry and cavalry here and
there, proceeded along the requisite lines,
to keep them clear.
For while all Paris strove to ride IN
these omnibuses, and some stood impa-
tiently to gaze at those who had succeed
ed better than themselves. The wealth.
Ter classes seem to have taken possession
of them for a considerable time; and it
is singular when they ceased to be fash
ionable the poorer classes would have
nothing to do with them, and so the
speculation failed.
They reappeared in PaIA again in 1927.
From Paris the omnibus was transplant
ed to London. Mr.. Shillibeer, in his ev-
idence before the board of health, stated
that. on July 4, 1929 he started the first
pair of omnibuses in the metropolis
They. carried % passengers each and were
drawn by three horses, and the riders
were provided with periodicals to read.
Consequently the first omnibuses were
called "Shillibeers," and were known as
such for az long time. They were hrst
