SOY BEANS A VALUABLE CROP

Utilization Of Soy Bears by Gil Mills
for Manufacture Of Meal and Oil
is Probably the Beginning Of a
Great Industry
Correspondence Of The Robe,onian.
During the past few months the
Division of Agronomy of the Ezper-
iment Station and Department Of
Agriculture has been very much in
terested in promoting the utilization
Of soy beans by the oil mills of the
State for the manufacture Of soy
bean meal and oil. There is no doubt
in the minds Of those who are ia
miliar with the conditions in this
State that this is probably the be-
ginning of great industry, not on
" in North Carolina, but through
out all the Southern States, especial
ly so where cotton oil mills are near
at hand.
Notwithstanding the great posi-
bilities in the manufacture of soy
beans into different products, there
is no question but that it's greatest
usefulness is going to be in crop ro-
tation for the building up Of the
productivity Of our soils. Soy beans
are admirably adapted as a summer
growing legume for rotations on
North Carolina farms. It grows very
rapidly once it has started, and when
properly looked after, ard complete
it's growth in relatively short time.
Ample time for the land to be put
into fall crops. Not only this, but
soy beans have a wide adaptation to
the soils and climatic conditions pre-
vailing in the State. On every farm
in the State there is no question but
that soy beans could be used to great
advantage in proper system of crop
rotation designed to build up the
productivity of the soil.
1t should be the plan of our peo-
pie not to take off everything from
the soil, but to save some of the le-
guminous crops grown on the soil
to be plowed into it for building up
its humus and nitrogen supply. It
will never be possible to build up
the most productive and most prof
table system of agriculture in any
community unless the soils are pro-
| ductive, and it will not be possible
for us to build up productive soils
unless an to grow on them legum-
inous crops and plow some of those
| into soil. Of course, in isolated cases
manure may be secured by purchase
otherwise and the productivity of the
soil materially increased.
The farmers of the State this
year should spare no effort to gel
in just as many acres as practicable
Of this summer growing legume. II
the prices are able to secure fol
the seed next fall are satisfactory
they may in all probability be dis
posed of to the oil mills. If the
price is too low, then the beans may
be grazed by hogs or other livestock
cut and cured for hay, or the entire
crop plowed into the soil for soil i'm
provement.

Simple Laxative Remedy
Best for Constipation
DIR. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsis Cave
Satisfaction When Nothing
Else Would

Nearly every one, at one time. or
another, suffers from constipation,
or inactive bowels, and one OF the
few conclusions upon which the doc
tors agree is that regularity OF tne
bowels is an essential to good health:
In the family medicine chest or
most well-ordered households, Will be
found one or more of the va
rious remedies recommended for the
relief of constipation. In the ma
jority of homes today the combine
tion of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin known as DR.. CaldwelPs Sy-
rup Pepsin is recognized as the stand
ard laxative. Druggists everywhere
report a constantly increasing de-
mand for this splendid remedy, which
is sold for fifty cents a bottle. -.
Mr.. James Ash, 102 Green St.,
Cumberland, Nd, wrote to Or. Cala-
we'll that he found DIR. Caidwe!rs
Syrup Pepsin the most e1fectlve
remedy for constipation he had ever
used and that he always keeps a bot
tie of it on hand for use when nee
essary.
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Per5in IS a
mild laxative, and does not grpe or
strain, but acts gently and brings
relief in an easy, natural manner.

dian ..s.
State Senator Frank Cough went
to Raleigh Monday and succeeded in
getting a pardon for Gus Hunt, a
Robson county Indian, who has serv-
ed 6 years of a 10-year sentence on
the chain gang for homicide. Hunt
submitted to the charge of homi-
eide when placed on trial for killing
his wife. He was tried at the May
term, 1911. Hunt always has claim
ed the killing of his wife was acci-
dental, and his children who were
small at the time of the killing, tes-
titled that the shooting was acciden-
tai. Senator Cough had a petition
signed by the prosecuting attorney
and also by all the court house offic-
h ais. Hunt has been working as jan
Ator at the court house for some
ofmonths and it is expected he will be
hired by the county to continue that
work. Hunt made :. a good prisoner

Miss Mayors detail OF everyday
life in Oberammergau, of how the
Passion Play actors are chosen, the
preparations for and presentation of
the world famous spectacle were
fraught with unusual interest, many
in her audience never having expect
ed to see and hear one OF the
principal participants in this sacred
rite. "rhe outsider may say II is easy
to live up to high ideals in such an
environment, but assure you we are
very human and have the same
temptations to fight as the rest OF the
human race. Piety and reverence
are the true expressions OF the heart
though, and in our homes the Ian

Speaking with an earnestness that
left an unusual impress upon the
minds of her audience, Miss Marie
Mayer, the only Oberammergau
Passion Play actor who has ever
toured America, appeared as the
third number on the Citizens Lecture
course at the A. c. Monday evening,
revealing glimpses into the lives OF
the Oberammergau people and bring
ing to her beloved American public
their message Of Peace on Earth,
Good VIII to Men.
One often hears from those who
have seen the Passion Play that its
influence is most apparent in the
actors daily lives. This deep devo-
ton and exalted religious ideals were
most marked in the speaker OF last
evening. Plainly troubling the peace
full calm hitherto characterizing that
quaint Bavarian mountain village
and its people however, is the great
world struggle, which has taken the
lives OF many Of Oberammergau's
young men as part of Its toll. There
was a moving touch Of pathos now
and then in the words of this lovely
Bavarian girl who has been in Am
erica ever since the war started, as
she paid a remarkable tribute to this
land with which her own country is
now at war, and pleaded for a final
universal peace in these words: II
pray you, give young Americans
space for their ideas; use your ideas
for the progress OF humanity, and
above, all, love your neighbor as
yourself-may this be the guiding
principle of all nations when this
war sh1 Ill have ceased. ] bring YOU
the message that has come down
through the ages, and which the
Passion Play perpetuates, Peace on
earth, good will to men,.
Expressing herself further, MiG
Mayer said with much earnestness:
America has long been the land OF
my dreams and in the three years
since it has adopted me, has not dis
appointed me. refuse to believe
that my strong hope in democracy is
a disillusionment. No. and again,
no! 1t Is the vital breath, the lv-
ing soul OF America. 1t is the tie
between you. and me. AS long
as you Americans keep that noble
spirit a reality you are not only
assured of the love, loyalty and sup
port of your fellow citizens, but you
are supporting the unification OF Am
erica, and let me hope that 1t will
ultimately result in the unifcation
