SOY BEANS AN

(By C. B. Williams, Chief, Div. of
Agronomy, N. C. Dept. Agriculture,
Raleigh.)
About 35 years aoo the growth of
soy beans in North Carolina was in
troduced by the N. C. Experiment
Station. Since that time particularly
so in the eastern part of the State,
the acreage devoted to the growth of
this crop has steadily increased I'M
til thousands of acres are planted
every year in that section.
There were produced during the
past year at least a million bushels.
Had all the beans been harvested for
seed purposes, the production would
probably have been at least double
this quantity in the whole State.
Soy beans being a leguminous crop,
and being adapted to the widely va
rving conditions of soil and climate
prevailing in this State, might be
materially increased lin acreage to
the advantage of most of our farm
ers.
Although this crop is quite well
adapted to our conditions in North
Carolina, it will generally make its
best growth in the sandy loan and
clay soils Of the coastal plain and
piedmont sections, and on the up
land loans and the well-drained silly
soils Of the valleys of the mountains
The crop grows during the summer
and natures before frost.

sDIXIE DRIVE PLANNED
BY SUFFRAGE LEADERS

National Woman's Party Will Launch
on April l a Dramatic Suffrage
Expedition-They Will Travel in
Autos and Will Visit Is States
Washington Cor. Greensboro Daily
News.
Believing that the time is now ripe
for a political alliance between the
South and the West, the National
Woman's party will launch on April
] one of the most dramatic suffrage
expeditions that has ever gone into
the South. The expedition will be
led by Miss Maud Younger, woman
voter of California, and will be COM
posed exclusively of women voters.
Thirteen States which have not yet
been fully organized by the National
Woman's party and which are the
strongholds of the Democratic party
will be visited by the suffragists in
their "Dixie drive. The coming in
vasion of the South will be friend
" one, the idea behind it being sole
~ to give the voting women of the
west an opportunity to carry mes
sage of great political importance to
both the men and the women Of the
South. This message was briefly ex-
planned today by Mrs. William Kent,
wife of former Representative Kent,
Of California, who said:
"The last national election showed
the growth of the sympathy and IN
derstanding existing between the
South and the West. The women of
the West believe that great politi-
cal opportunity is now facing the
South, and they want the South to
appreciate it. But they want the
South to understand that this OPP
porrtunity cannot be realized in the
fullest until the men of the South en-
franchise their women and give them
the same political privileges now en-
ioyad by the women in Is Of the big
Wemern and Middle Western States.
Pin Faith to Chivalry of South. e.
eve have faith in the chivalry of
the South and We believe that when
We show Southern men the utter i'm
practicability of securing woman suf-
frage solely through the State by
State method and make it clear to
them the injustice Of condemninq
women to long and almost hopeless
struggle against petrified State con-
stitutions, that they will get behind
us in our fight for the national suf-
frage amendment and give US theil
support"
The "Dixie drive" which the Ma.
tional Woman's party is planning
will be conducted entirely by motor
Mass meetings will be held in the
principal towns and cities of all the
States visited land State conventions
of the newly organized branches Of
the Woman's party will be held al
all State capitals. In addition depu.
tations will be sent to the Democratic
leaders of the House and Senate anc
to all Southern members of the rules
and judiciary committees. The States
to be visited include Virginia. North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louis.
lana, Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky
West Virginia, Maryland.

When Sherman Visited Laurinburg

Laurlnburg Exchange.
The famous saying of General Sher-
man that "war is help was once Civ
en- practical application in Laurin-
burg and there are those here now
fully competent to testify that the
grizzly old warrior knew what he was
talking about. Just So years ago last
Saturday, or March 10, 1865, says
Mr.. W. Randolph McEachin, Gener-
al Sherman was a guest of Laurin-
burg. He spent one day and two
nights here and proceeded to destroy
property with characteristic energy
and malice. It is said that he de-
stroyed enough property while here
to pay for all the public improvements
the town has made in the last 50
years.
Just to the left of the Seaboard
railroad, says Mr.McEachin, Sherman
burned 1000 bales Of cotton that was
stored there. This is only ono in.
stance Of the mischief he did. MANY
people of means we're reduced to nov.
erty through his depredations.

How a Submarine Reveals Itself

A submarine always reveals her
presence to the seeing eye. If near
the surface, her periscope leaves the
betraying wake, and even when she
is a hundred feet or more under wa
ter, she always disturbs the surface
in a way that, to the experienced OBJ
server, makes her presence known.
The watcher in an airplane quickly
sees such disturbances, even if the
submersible is too far under the sea
to be seen ITSELF
But the important fact is that the
submarine spends most of her time on
the surface. The u 53's ability to
sail seventy miles under water with
out rising is regarded as a great
achievement. Most submarines, that
IS, cannot keep submerged nearly so

long. The reason is that it has to
come to the surface to recharge its
electric batteries. This recharging is
done by the oil engines, which can
work only on the surface, because of
the exhaust. In addition to it's 9TH
er disadvantages, this recharging
makes a noise that can be heard five
miles away. While undergoing this
ordeal, the submarine is in help
less condition, and a we'll aimed
shot, even from a small gun, such
as motor boat can carry, can pierce
its thin steel plates and send it to
the bottom.-The Worlds Work for

towns; let it be scattered broadcast
through the printed page; let us serve
prominent notice on the conspirators
in 1776 and 1861. Many of them gave up
their lives to keep this land undivided
and free. If necessary, if there is to be
armed strife within our borders, sound it
out from the Atlantic to the Pacific that
there are enough sons of the American
Revolution and Sons of Veterans, to re-
peat the bloody sacrifice their fathers
made and to achieve on American soil the
same victories for Liberty.
We can't stand shoulder to shoulder
with the boys in the trenches, but at
home through our steadfast loyalty, we
can stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
Our duty is to ostracise socially, to boy
colt commercially any person or firm
whose unpatriotic talk or work prolongs
the war and makes it harder for our boys
,, who must fight. 1t is also our duty to
help create a public sentiment that the
! American army together with the splen-
did armies of the Allies, must dictate
peace in Berlin. The boastful Hinden-
burgs must learn that those who fight
for justice and God can pass through
where Hindenburgs say it is impossible
The blasphemous Kaiser must learn there
are few other human beings in the uni
verse God loves, besides his spotted
Highness of Potsdam. Nothing short of
a peace which is based upon knowledge
forced into the German mind can be
lasting. The German mind must see the
fact that her armies and navies are not
invincible That an Englishman, a
Frenchman, Canadian, an American,
is as good a soldier as the German. Be-
cause Paris was SO easily and quickly
taken in 1870, official bumptiousness in
Kaiser and premier led to the phantasy
that such conquest could be repeated in
1914. Germany knows better now.
Therefore to secure an everlasting peace
let the Allied Armies enter Berlin. Let
the crazy Emperor and his stained min
isters taste at home the dreadful humilia-
ton imposed brutally upon others. Les
Germany understand that Berlin is at
accessible as Paris or London; that Ger
man army is no more efficient than an
English army; and official Germany will
pause long before plunging the world into
another dreadful war.
Use your influence and you influence
Belfast; and Belfast influences the county;
and the county Influences the Congress-
man; and Congress the Government.
Let the cry 60 forth:
''On to Berlinr'
No peace till the Kaiser sword is sur
rendered in Berlin! No peace till the men
responsible for inhumanities ON sea and
land, face firing squad and pay the price
for their crimes against God and man.
"On to BerlinP'
And glory hallelujah the Tri-color, the
Cross of St. George, the Stars and Stripes,
are on their way.
