SOY BEANS.
BY HARRY D. WILSON,
Commissioners Agriculture Immigration Of the State Of
Louisiana Baton Rouge.

oil men we feel absolutely sure that
this new agricultural Richmond"
will win ont in the great field of d.
versification which we have planned
to fight out and which will place
Louisiana in the front ranks of
agricultural States.
And why should soy beans not
win its place among these diversi-
fed crops? 1t can he planted from
early spring until the middle Of
July. 1t can follow Irish potatoes.
oats or any other spring crop.
The soy bean is one of the most
important agricultural plants of
Northern China and Japan. 1t is
said that the production is so great
in Manchuria that already that
country is annually exporting
hundreds of thousands of tons to
Europe, and the western coast of
America is gradually becoming a
market for this product. Henry
says: mo other plant in the
United States grown 80 little at this
time as the soy bean is so full of
promise to agriculture. especially to
animal husbandry."
Soy bean meal is a valuable dairy
and poultry feed because of the
high content of protein. On the
Pacific coast, where soy bean meal
has been manufactured for several
years as dairy feed the material
has become popular at $37 80 per
ton. An idea of importance COM
mercially is suggested by the fact
that the United States has been an.
nually importing 5000. 900 pounds
of soy bean cake, 10. 900. 900 pounds
of soy bean oil and 1900, 900
pounds of soy bean seed.
In conclusion. special attention is
called to the following tables from
Henry's Feeds and Feeding"
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1916-08-18

The above is conclusive evidence
Of the great value of soy beans rs a

they stand as fertilizer:

Defeat at the hands of the Keyse-
Props closed the season, for the Nor
NAL football team Saturday. The Prep
boys ran away with the game with a
~ to score. Several OF the Normal
team did not make the trip and it was
because Of this that the score was so
one sided. Normal fought hard and
in the first half held Keyser for downs
several times. The score at the end
of the first half was &c to 0.
The locals came back telling great
stories OF Hogan. the Keyser main.

straight through Normals center for
forty yards and a touchdown, Ridge.
II. Hamilton and Gregg were the Nor.

ELDERLY PEOPLE
"oLD HICKORY TONIC" is FINE
FOR YOU.

Elderly people usually need a tonic.
But they should not take tonic that
contains strychnine, which often over
stimulates and makes them nervous
and irritable.
The old doctor who gave Old Kick.
DRY Tonic to his patients for sc long
years, found that no other tonic he
ever used would give the same good
results as his own. Elderly pcoplo
were especially benefited by il. It.
seemed TO agree with them better than
any other medicine he prescribed. Old
Hickory Tonic Is made from this old
noctor's private formula You can get
Old Hickory Tonic as any good drug
store. or at any general store in small
towns and in the country.

 the striking union carmen and their employers here today, it was announced tonight that apparently the only hope of averting a threatened sympathetic walkout of 1000 workers, set for Fri day, now lies in a final appeal to be made to the labor leaders Thursday The citizens committee probably will confer with Mayor Mitchell and Oscar s. Straus, chairman of the public ser vice commission, tomorrow, in an ef- fort to find some solution of the problem.
 After a conference today with the mayor and MT. Straus, the committee visited Theo. P. Shonts, president of the Interborough Rapid Transit com pany and the New York Railways com pany, and, it was said, proposed to him a plan evolved for the peaceable ad- justment of the present differences
 Mir. Shonts, it was learned, informed the committee that he would refuse positively to meet representatives of the strikers. He said that even if he were disposed to treat with the strikers, he could not do so because of the 1 1 900 of his loyal employees, who make possible the continuation of traffic on the subways and elevated roads, had threatened to strike if the Interbor- ough recognized the strikers union.
 In the meantime. a meeting of the central conference committee of the strikers was held to count the strike votes of these organizations which already had voted. Ernest Bohm, sec retary of the Central Federated Union, announced at the close of the meeting that communications had been received from three big unorganized groups of employees in three great industries ask { ing permission to join the strike"
