Velvet Beans a Valuable Crop-st Also Furnishes Much Hay
 and Grain.
L. W. Osborn, Arkansas Experiment.
 Station.

With no assurance that Arkansas will have plenty of feed stuffs to last lfof any great length of time and be- cause velvet beans are selling at comparatively low price, the farmers of the state can well afford to use some velvet beans In the place or COW peas.
 Experiments Give Much Valuable
 Information.
 While sufficient data has not yet been accumulated to warrant recem- mendations concerning the adaptation of the velvet bean to different soils and conditions found in the state, nev- ertheless it is interesting to know that in the experiments undertaken at the main experiment station al Fayetteville and at Monticello in CO operation with the Agricultural Schooi and C. c. Randall, county agent the results of these tests give much val uable information concerning the be- havior of different varieties. both Tn the northern and southern districts or the state The varieties in both tests were planted in rows four feet apart and the plants were spaced one and one-half feet apart in the row. The test at Monticello was planted May and the one at Fayetteville week later A description and comparison of the time of the most important va rieties grown follow:
 Innnortant Varieties
 Yokohoma, an early variety, began blooming August II, at Fayetteville, and matured September 9, requiring 130 days to mature. The variety pro- duces large, rather flat. kidney shaped bean, grayish white in color. The variety yielded fairly well, but should be grown in closer rows than the later maturing and heavier fo- liaged types.
 gan blooming August IA and matured October G. The variety yielded about the same as the Yokahoma. The seeds are somewhat larger than the speck- led bean and are mottled. Osceola, medium maturing varie- ty began blooming August 20 and formed large, we'll filled pods at Fay etteville, by October 1, but failed to mature. The variety was one of the heaviest yielders of forage in both tests. The variety matured in good

Sometimes nervous, energetic males will stand around at feeding time and allow the hens to consume most of the feed. Such a bird occasionally be- comes so poor that his strength is re duced, and in such cases the bird should be fed separately.

The early sitting hens should have warmly made nests lined with fine hay or something of that kind. The hen can furnish only certain amount of warmth, and if that is overcome by the cold that gets in from the outside, the eggs cannot hatch well.

atty must cease. In plain words,
this country has 10 longer any
room for the person Of divided al

must go, and in his place must be
either the American or the Ser-

It may sound harsh to say that
our citizens Of foreign birth must
forswear and forget the land Of
their birth, but if we are to be a
nation, and not a polyglot mix

what they must do.

too strong; but be that as it may,
the cultivation of the language af-

cover for disloyalty.
The German-American owes it
to himself to become at once and
forever an American. When he
feels that he cannot do this, he
should have the decency to take
his person from a country to
which he can not give his heart

BAR GERMAN LANGUAGE

The Des MONIES Qa.) Capital
very sensibly suggests that the
United States prohibit the print
ing of newspapers, books and
pamphlets in the German langu-
age.
The suggestion is worthy Of
adoption. And in this connection
we would urge the barring Of the
German language from our
schools.
There is absolutely no reason
why the children Of loyal Ameri-
can parents should be saturated,
during tbs most impressionable
period of their lives, with the lit
erature Of a nation whose ideas
and ideals are SO greatly at var
lance with those Of this country
as are those of Germany.
There can be no doubt that the
dissemination Of the German Ian
guage in this country tends to
create a certain sympathy for the
people who speak that language
Our sympathies follow our asso-
cations to a great extent. It is
impossible to acquire a working
knowledge Of any language with
out developing sympathy for it's
people. just at this time, sym
pathy for Germany is misft in
the breast Of any American. True
there are many German-Ameri,
cans among us, but the time has
come when these must be either

Show Fine Patriotism

When your banker or your broker
encourages you to buy United States

take Of thinking that he has any self

not make any commission whatever
BY selling these war bonds. On the
contrary, all the work that q banker
or q broker undertakes in connection
with United States Liberty Bonds u.
ut his own expense.
Seldom has any class Of business
mon shown finer patriotism than that
exhibited in recent weeks By the bank
ers and brokers. The federal govern
ment is under great obligations 70
them for the high spirit Of public duty
they have shown, for the enthusiasm
they have manifested in familiaxizing
the public with United States Liberty
Bonds and in encouraging people to
buy.

member that in handling your order
he is working unselnshly for Ameri-
can honor and for the permanenco Of

Sixth Federal Bank District nis nigh
nepos o. Selling United States
Liberty Beads

President Wilson. the cabinet and
congress are keenly awaiting news Of
the subscription for Liberty bonds,
which the government has issued to
help In the war.
The sale has been arranged through
the Federal Reserve Banks and &C.
cording to their districts. Our dis
trict, the sixth. includes Georgia, Flor.
ida, Alabama and approximately half
Of Tennessee. Mississippi and Louisi-
ana. Few sections of the United
States have such varied resources.
From the orange groves Of Florida to
the steel mills of Alabama, and from
the cotton fields Of Georgia to the
rice plantations Of Louisiana and the
stock raising section of Tennessee al.
most every kind Of crop and manu-
featuring industry can be found. It
will be strange indeed if the people of
this prosperous section are not
among the largest purchasers Of Lib
erty bonds.
The government will be very great
ly disappointed unless this great sec
ton ranks at least third in the volume
Of its purchases Of Liberty bonds.
Bankers Of Atlanta, Birmingham, New
Orleans, Macon, Chattanooga and
Jacksonville as well as in every small
town in the district, agree that when
the total figures are announced that
the Sixth District will be found to
have done its full part.
But every man, woman and child
must participate. Bonds sell as low
Is $50 and rs high as $4,000.
Make the gar loan the chief subject
of discussion in your home Make sure
that each member of your family
sees his or her duty and opportunity
clearly.
Make up your mind today. Don't
let it be said that you withheld your
help in time Of your country's needs.
