BAD CHECK MAN WANTED HERE |S
 TAKEN IN TEXAS
TRepublicsn A. p. Leased Wirel

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex, April 2S.- A man arrested here on requests from authorities at Denver, Colo, Amarillo, Texas and Santa Fe, N. NJ. and who gave his name as Beale, confessed to- day according to local police, that he is wanted in a dozen or more Pacific coast and western cities to answer for gery charges.
 Officers re en route here from Anna rillo and Denver to identify the pris- oner.
 Police stated tonight they found ev idence that the man had operated at Portland, Ore, Tucson, Ariz., and sev eral California cities under various names, including Churchill. C. E. Ma son, B. Craig. c. E. Greene, Edwin Car son, c. F. Thompson and B. C. Norris. Thousands of blank check forms on banks in almost every section of the United States, police say, were found in the prisoners possession.
 Operating under the names of Churchill, Mason, Carson and Norris and paying his respects to this section twice within year, Beale is known to have been a visitor to Phoenix, Wick enburg and Prescott, leaving a trail of bad checks behind Only a few weeks ago he passed several bad checks in this city. some of which are now in the possession of Captain John J. Me Grath of the police department. Be- fore the passage of the bad paper had been reported to the police Beale had made his way from the city and no trace of him was received until it was reported that he had operated in Tue son.

Stephens Asks Aid RepubIican A. D. Leased Wire1


 SACRAMENTO, Cal, April 2S.- Governor William D. Stephens by telegraph today, urged the Governors of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Ne vada, New Mexico, Arizona and Mon- tana to join with California in movement to bring to the western states the representatives of the all lied European countries who are in Washington.
 In this connection the following plea for cooperation was received last night by the Arizona Republi- can from the Sacramento Bee.
 California is agitating proposal that Minister Balfour Marshal Joffre and Marquis De Chambrun of the English and French commission now in Washington be induced to come to the Rocky mountain and Pacific coast states for at least a flying trip before returning to Europe. It is believed such a journey although probably involving some inconven- ierces and fatigue for the distin- guished men would be entirely justi- fled in the enthusiasm and patriotic felvor it would arouse.
 Not only that, but it will permit these representatives Cf our allies to take away with them some idea of the e9rnestness of our people in the stern business at hand. Your gover- nor has been invited by Stephens of California to join in the move ment by joint resolution of the California legislature. This state has also transmitted the request to the president, the state department, the English anG French embassies, ard our senators and congressman"

Replacing Cotton With Peanuts
ANDRHuM.- SOULE.

There is growing interest in the cul-
tivation of those crops which may be
successfully substituted for cotton. This
Is especially true in southwest where the
peanut has attracted a great deal of at
tsntion recently. This crop is valuable
not only for grazing down by hogs but
for the production OF a nut consumed
extensively by human beings and for the
manufacture Of an oil apparently equal
IN edible qualities TO that obtained from
the olive. In some sections of the state
il is evident that the boil weevil will
reduce the acreage OF cotton. This will
cut down the supply OF seed available
Lfor crushing purposes oil now cOnstt-
rtutes such an important part OF the die
tary that the demand for il is constant
~ increasing, hence il is not surprising
that attention should be directed TO the
cultivation Of such crops as peanuts
which can likely be grown in place of
cotton with profit and advantage, and
made TO supply an important edible oil
and meal Of great value as food for
live stock
For the purpose OF giving some in
formation OF particular value TO our
readers at this time with reference 60
this topic. some excerpts from a pampn-
let prepared by Prof John r Fain. of
the Georgia Slale ADlle-e OF AaTlCuAN-
ure. are presented herewith.

supplied TO large extent from the air.
The mineral requirements Of this plant
are not very high, and while il usually
gives good returns without fertilizer
phosphorus and potashsium would often
increase the production
Lime is necessary for the production
of most leguminous crops, and the pea
nut is not an exception TO this rule.
moderate use of lime will unquestion-
ably be of advantage, and 1000 to 1000
pounds Of ground limestone per acre
will increase the yield and reduce the
percentage of pops in most all of the
soil type in south Georgia. 1t does not
seem desirable to use large quantities
of lime on this crop. Small applications
every three to four years, would seem 10
be preferable.
The peanut is Iegume and for that
reason. III given an opportunity, Will
helm them TO render service as soil build
ers when all the crop. both tops ana
nuts are removed. In fact. where all
the crop is sold and removed from the
farm they will be found to be about
as exhaustive of the mineral elements
OF the soil as the average crop. A ton
Of nuts and hay per acre, which would
rot be a very large yield, would cor
respond 10 something like one-half a
bale of cotton TO the acre. If this ton
we're equally divided between nuts and
hay. the removal of mineral elements
would be phosphoric acid SIS pounds and
potash 2O.S pounds. One-half bale or
cotton would remove in lint and seed
s.54 pounds phosphoric acid and 6.9S
pounds of potash. Thus. 1t will he seen
from these figures. that a ION of pea
nuts would remove more of the mineral
elements than one-half bale of cotton

Velvet beans are probably best cult
waited in the cornfield. Some prefer to
plant them in the middle Of the drill row
and some alongside the cotton stalks.
This affords them a better opportunity
to climb and holds them off the ground
more satisfactorily on that account. The
best variety of velvet bean to plant is
the early maturing sort, such as the
ninety-day. Velvet beans are valuable as
a source of feed for live stock. They
may be ground either with or without
the hulls In either case a good concen-
trated feed is obtained which when mix
ed with corn or some other cereal in
equal proportions affords a fine grain "a
tion for all classes of live stock.
Peanuts, of course, can be grown with
great success in south Georgia. Various
varieties may be grown there with profit
and advantage. The white Spanish pea
nut is in demand for oil production.
Probably some of the running sorts will
produce, larger yield of nuts, however,
The methods of cutivating and planting
peanuts you are no doubt familiar with.
Wa.would, of course, prefer to SOW them
in drills and would lime the land before
planting at the rate of one ton of crush
ed raw rock per acre. We would also use
200 to 800 pounds Of acid phosphate.
Soy beans belong to the family OF le-
gumes and are rather bushy and upright
in their manner Of growth. They run
relatively high in protein and contain
from 16 to 20 per cent of oil. They have
not made large yields under Georgia
conditions according TO our observation
and experience. We think probably an
average of fifteen bushels per acre is
about all one could count on on land n
good physical condition. They would
probably produce about the same equiva-
lent of oil per acre as one could obtain
from peanuts Soy beans are not diff
cult to plant or cultivate. They should
be sown in drills about twenty-four inch
es to three feet apart. and from bushei
to a bushel and a half of seed used per
acre. They should be fortified with acid
phosphate and cultivated much as any
other crop, the idea, of course, being
to keep the weeds in check.

be fed to some advantage. The SOY bean
is somewhat hard to gather on account
of its tendency to shatter. This can
be overcome by planting them in rows
and cutting them when slightely damp
with an ordinary corn harvester or
self-binder. They can then be bound into
sheaves and set up and cured. much "a
one would handle a grain crop.
From what we have been able to gath
er we are inclined TO think that the pea
nut offers more promise for cultivation
as an oil and food producing crop in
Georgia than the soy bean. The peanut
is certainly well adapted for cultiva-
ton in this state and will yield any
where from seventy to ninety gallons
of oil per ton of the finest quality. The
meal is very satisfactory for use as
concentrate. Presumably, it is not mark
eddy superior i'm this respect to the soy
bean. but it certainly is it's equal We
believe that farmers can count on pro-
duction of from thirty-five to fifty bush
els per acre. The Spanish variety will
no doubt be grown chiefly for the pro-
duction of oil and for grazing down by
hogs. They weigh thirty pounds to the
bushel, so that the yield on the average
would probably be 1000 to 1900 pounds
of nuts per acre. If we are correct IN
this deduction, the yield of oil from a
field of peanuts yielding 1900 pounds per
acre would be approximately forty-twc
gallons, which would make them equal
in this respect to soy beans. Since so
many of our farmers are familiar with
peanuts, and such large eXpanse of ter
rtory is adapted to their cultivation II
seems TO us that it is a good idea to
emphasize their cultivation more strong"
ly at present than that of the soy
bean.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1917-01-19

We have cultivated the soy bean in
our test plats for hay and grain produc-
ton for several years past. The high
est yield we have ever obtained with
any one variety was 3S.4S bushels per
acre. This was by Virginia No. 32906
This variety made an average of IL. 55
bushels in 1914 and 1871 bushels in
1916. The average yield for a three
years test was 21.S1 bushels per acre
The Black was second with an average
yield of 15.41 bushels for the three-year
test Wilson made 14.15 bushels and
Pekin, 14.O5 bushels for the three-year
test. The other varieties grown all fell
considerably lower.
As We understand il the soy bean
contains from 16 to 81 per cent of oil
Apparently, the average is nearer the
lower than the higher figure, which
would make about 500 pounds of oil to
the ton, as compared with 315 to $50
pounds per ton of cotton seed. The
highest yield we have obtained would
be equivalent TO 1,32O pounds of soy
beans per acre. We are inclined to
think this is yield in excess of what
could be anticipated under average con-
ditions in Georgia. These figures will
indicate to you. however. that SOY beans
grow fairly well and make a reasonable
yield of grain. When they are harvested
for grain, however, the forage would
not be of special value, though it could

GOVERNOR ASKS
ALL TO BUY BONDS
Issues Letter to Men Interest
ed in Banks Urging Mobili-
cation of Cash

Governor Brumbaugh last night
issued a statement calling on the
people of the State to subscribe liber-
ally to the Liberty Loan, asserting
that Pennsylvania, the home of the
great financiers of the national
wars, should place bountiful gifts at
the door of the National Treasury.
The Governor sent this letter to all
directors of banks, trust companies
and other financial institutions in
Pennsylvania:
THE National authorities are anX-
ious to have the marketing of the
Liberty Loan not only a fiscal but a
patriotic success. The honor, the
strength, the dignity of our great ma
ton alike combine to demand our
most prompt and effective support
to this great national enterprise.
our response should be so immediate
and so convincing as to give definite
notice to the entire world of our SOL
idarity as a people and our loyalty
to our government and to world
democracy.
when this war was declared the
Executive of this great Common
wealth, acting for all our people,
pledged all the resources of Penn
sylvania to the national government.
This included not only men for the
military service, food for the peo-
ple. loyal administrative assistance
and personal service in all proper
fields of endeavor, but it also includ-
ed the fiscal resources of our people.
We cannot be indifferent or ineffec-
tive at any point in the entire line
of loyal service and support.
Moreover, the history of this

colony and Commonwealth is glor-
ious in financial assistance to the
government. 1t was Robert Morris,
a Pennsylvania, who splendidly fin
anced the Revolutionary struggle. 1t
was Stephen Girard, Pennsylvania,
who unreservedly sustained the gov
ernment in the financial crisis of
the War of 1912. 1t was Jay Cooke,
a Pennsylvanian, who in a command
ing way carried to honor and sue
cess the great financial burden Incl
dent to the Civil War. In every cri-
sis of the Nation Pennsylvania has
been in the very front and has led
all the States in lofty endeavor, in
commanding service. We must
maintain this ascendency now.
Pennsylvania must lead. AS a men,

IT rely upon you confidently to
take up at once with your colleagues
