 T sincerely hope that the negctia- tions which Secretary Knox has nit iated in favor of an international prize court-after the establishment of that court-wili involve the enlargement of the court into a general arbitral court for international matters.
 If we can put through pos. tive agreement with some great nation to abide the adjudication of aa inresna. tional arbitral court in every issue which cannot be settled by negotia- ton, no matter what 1t involves, whether honor. territory or money, We shall have made a long step for ward. by demonstrating that i- is possible for two nations at least to establish between them the same sys fem of due process of law that exists between individuals under a govern ment"
 Since the negotiations between ths United States, France and Great Brit ain were initiated, President Taft hal announced that this country is mol only willing bat anxious to negotiate similar treaties with any responsible nation.

JUAN IO BRING PEACE, IS PLAN
 IF SECRETARY
Knox Has Asked Congress for Authority to Adopt Brand New Policy in Nicaragua
 Affairs
TO BRING THE
 TURMOIL TO AN END
The Action of This Country at BluefieldS Has Been Wrongfully Criticised
 by Many People

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The state department hopes that the novel de. parture in diplomacy originated by Secretary Knox to extinguish by a loan the long smoldering revolution ary fires in Nicaragua, and create an international convention between the two countries which will give the United States practical super vision of the customs houses, and incidentally promote trade relations, possibly will result in similar ne gotiations between the United States and other Central American coun- tries.
 This move by Secretary Knox is radical; likewise it is experimental, And yet the department believes it will redound to mutual benefit for the United States and Nicaragua by bringing to this country an increase in trade; by substantially insurine to Nicaragua peace and prosperity, and by enhancing the prestige of the United States in Central America
 The Nicaraguan treaty is now pending before the United States senate and every effort is beins made by the state department t bring about it's ratification Cnti that convention shall become effec tive. says Secretary Knox, this gov ernment will have little warrant tC take hand in Central American af fairs, or have the right to inter vent in the event of revolutions and the consequent endangering O American interests.
 Naturally there has been much ais cussion over the usual attitude O the United States toward Nicara qua, in this country. Misrepresenta ton. says Secretary Knox, has gon' broadcast, and in some respects hal had the effect of putting a dampe on the prospects for approval of tn Nicaraguan treaty.

The agricultural demonstration trains sent out by railroads during the last two winters have been so we'll re eeiyed by the farmers and have borne such excellent fruit fin the increased production that the roads have decid. ed to make them a permanent fea- ture of the industrial departments. says Fort Worth dispatch to the St. Louis Post Dispatch.

 Having received great many in quiries as to the preparation for and cultivation of peanuts, have prepared the following form in order that l may mail one to each individual asking for information upon this subject.
 A sandy loamy soil is best adapted for the growing of peanuts, either in the hills or bottoms, 1t being vitally necessary that the soil should contain an abundance of lime. For bottom lands where the soil is loamy. l would advise putting the rows three feet apart, with one double peanut every 12 inches in the drill, covering about one to one and one-half inches deep. For hill land, would make the rows about three feet apart, with the double pea nut every ten inches in the drill, GOV ering the same depth
 Either broadcast your land from No vember 15 to March l and re-bed with four furrows about the first to fif- toenth of May and plant at once, or. If delayed in work, list your land from January 1 to April 1, and break out middles with middle buster, allowing the land to remain until about first to fifteenth of May. when you can re-bed your rows dry enough for the soil to pulverize thoroughly, and plant at once, as above directed.
 It is not necessary to soak seed or crack the nuts for planting.
 Drop the double nut. in its dry state: when. in your judgment, all of the seed have sprouted and appeared above the ground, soak some peanuts IS hours. and replant skips with them. Keep this up vigorously until you have a perfect stand Remember a good stand Is absolutely necessary to insure a large yield Hoe early and often at first. and carefully, for once grass and weeds get the advantage of the crop it is a hard matter to chop and clean properly and retain a stand

NEW ERA IN GOOD FARMING
Next Step Forward Must Be to Or. sanlze Business of Farm Upon
 Basis of Highest Efficiency.

The past sixty years has witnessed a wonderful advance In all lines of agriculture. During this time the binder. the gang blow. the traction en- zine. the perfected grain drill, all have appeared on the scene. Prac- ueally the whole list of farm machin- cry has been reshaped. or brought in to being. He who recalls the great changes of even the last thirty years will need little by way of proof of this statement The farmer has been getting together his working kit of tools. Some of these, as the binder. have been long fin coming to their proper efficiency, says Farm, Stock and Home. Today this phase of de veiopment is nearly complete In this part of the world there Is little vacant land. although much of the land under private ownership Is idle. The stand ardization of tools and machinery can go little farther Most of the i'm provements' of the day are mere sell ing points. and give little or no in crease fin efficiency The pioneer farmer and the pioneer machine came fin and will depart together
 The next step forward must be to organize the business of the farm up- on the basis of highest possible efl ciency This means that the iudivid ual farm must be looked at as a whole. and it's future planned as care fully as is the location and equipment of factory. Soil and markets will be given first consideration in the estah- lishment of the factory-farm The buildings will be made to 1t into a general plan, and the machinery and power equipment will likewise be carefully considered. that there may be no waste capital. and that every dollar invested may return as steady an income as possible.
 Another phase of the coming farm life will be community industry. In our breeders associations and other cooperative societies We have the beginnings of the system If farming is to be placed permanently on it's feet as paying business We must ex- pand and develop this vague groping after help into the eleke-knlt eo-opera- tive community The waste due to cross-hauling among neighbors only the neighhorhood itself can eliminate. it Is no argument against cooperation that l. has heretofore shown but small results. The time for il was not ripe. The time Is now here when tho farm. CT can well afford to put his own farm upon a thoroughly organized basis. and can afford to become a memhe. Of the larger community unit In fact he cannot afford longer to do other, wise.

loss at any time during winter by either cattle CT hogs.
 The seed cost about $2.50 per bushel and about one peck is required to plant one acre. If planted at some time with corn they are usually plant ed in alternate rows, but if grown as catch crop we usually plant the eorS in fourfeet rows and at second or third cultivation in early May run a scooter blow on one side of each row of corn, drop the beans by hand, and cover with cultivator as the corn Is worked.
 Being a leguminous crop and grow ing late in the season. nitrogenous fertilizer is not necessary for these beans and only the mineral constitu- ents furnishing phosphorus and pot ash need be applied in a fertilizer. Experience here shows that our soils have enough potash already so that phosphorus alone Is all We use
 The velvet bean leaves a greater quantity of rotting organic matter on the soil than any other known crop and in the presence of this decaying vegetable matter, or humus, raw phos- phate rock is brought into solution and answers all purposes of acid phosphate and at a cost only one fourth as great As handled here the beans are grown as catch crop, corn is harvested as early as it will stand housing, and the beans allowed to con tinue growing until killed by frost, then dairy cattle are turned in on them and allowed to eat everything they will After this the remaining vines are cut up with disk harrow and turned under before Christmas.
 Crops following on land so treated will be greatly increased in yield and a much cheaper fertilizer may be made to produce the heaviest yields.

MONEY IN RAISING PEANUTS
Where Proper Attention Given to Many Little Details.

The following letter written by MT, Ben Gray of Shreveport, La, in reply to query on the peanut industry IS self-explanatory
 take great pleasure in giving you all the information at my command upon this important industry, the white Spanish peanut.
 Before going into the preparation of the soil. cultivation etc, would like to make a few preliminary remarks.
 The whole south has been, and is still being preached at upon the tm- portance of raising hogs. corn, cattle and alfalfa, with peanuts as an ad- junct. claiming that these crops, by demonstration, have proven to be the cheapest and most economical feed for the successful raising of hogs for the market. A few pioneers in our territory undertook to plant the white Spanish peanut. To, when this crop was harvested there appeared upon

GOOD SOIL IMPROVER
Velvet Beans Is Best Legumin-
 ous Crop to Grow.
May Be Grown Entirely as Catch Crop. Interfering Little With Corn and Giving Feed to Cattle
 Worth $8 Per Acre.
(By E. B FERRIS, Director of McNein

(By E. B FERRIS, Director of McNein
 tMiss.) Experiment Station.)
 The velvet bean Is native of India and Is supposed to have been intro duced into America about 1872. It re- ceiyes it's name from the yelvety ma ture of the pod It is a twining plant and frequently reaches length of 75 feet. The growing season is long and in order to fruit to best advantage the seed should be planted as early in the season as possible. It should not be planted until danger of frost is over, for 1t Is very susceptible to cold. How ever, it is not always best from money standpoint to plant the beans extremely early. In order to fruit well they should be planted with some crop to give them support. The best crops for this purpose that the writer has seen tried are corn and sunflow CTS. Since the money value of the sunfiower crop is rather uncertain, corn is now regarded as by far the best crop to grow with velvet beans. The writer has seen good many beans planted here between cotton rows of the year before and the old stalks used as supports for the vines. These beans were not worked at all and made fair crop of vines and pods.
 In order to make the most beans, the two crops should be planted to- gether as early in the spring as the season will permit.
 The McNeill experiment station has adopted the plan of planting the corn two months before the beans and makes a first class corn crop and fair yield of beans. Last year on about ten acres of our thinnest hill land, corn planted in March made an average of about thirty-five bushels per acre and was harvested in August. Beans planted in this corn in May completely covered the field before frost and made a fair. yield of pods, even the frost was three weeks early. If planted this way velvet beans may be grown entirely as catch crop, in- terfering little with the corn and giy- ing a feed for cattle worth around $S per acre and a fertilizer for succeed ing crops worth fully as much.
 No legumnous crop tried here has come up to the velvet bean as a soil improver. They shade the land more thoroughly than any other crop, make as great if not greater tonnage per acre, fruit much better than the cow peas. and may be harvested without

the nuts. Allow your vines to lay on the ground two 10 six hours and wilt not cure.
 l have by personal experience this year demonstrated that by observing the above directions my yield was 61 bushels. to the acre, with fraction more than one ton of hay to the acre. This in face of the fact that we had two protracted droughts, which hit the crop on both occasions at the time of full bloom The mill here is paying from 95 cents to S1 per bushel for the nuts. and the hay is selling at this time here for S14 per ton.
