SOY BEANS FOR HOME use.
Free Seed For Trial.

In the efforts to increase the food
supply of the nation the culture of
the soy bean should not be overlook
ed. Until quite recently this plant
has been grown almost exclusively
for stock feedin, either as hay or as
threshed beans. 1t has been found
that soy beans are an excellent food
for human use and may be served in
as many ways as the white soup or
navy bean. In China and Manchuria
these beans form one of the chief ar
ticles of diet of those peoples. The
soy bean has an advantage over the
white soup bean in that it is not so
subject to disease as the latter and
may be more easily grown and har-
vested. Much of the loss in growing
field beans comes from the discolora-
tiOn due to damp weather and the
closeness Of the pods to the ground.
With soy beans the pods are not at
tackled by disease and as they are
borne well above ground are not dam
aged by the weather. The soy bean
is very prolific, exceeding the best
varieties of field beans. In 1911 the
experiment station sent out number
of 4-pound packages of seed to those
who would test the crop and report
One grower in Kent County produced
$40 pounds of beans from the four
pounds of seed. Two others grew
over six bushels of seed from four
pounds. The soy bean is easier to
grow than any other variety of bean
and is just as palatable and nutri
tious if properly cooked.
On good garden soil quart of seed
will produce a bushel of beans. Plant
in rows 80 inches apart, spacing the
seeds at 3 to 4 inches. Soy beans
may be planted as late as the goth Of
June. Hoe or cultivate as for corn.
The beans should be cultivated un-
til the pods begin to form. AS most
OF the pods ripen about the same time
throughout the whole plant it is not
necessary 10 70 make separate pickings.
The plant is allowed to shed its
leaves in the late summer or fall and
then may be pulled and tied in bunch
es and failed out during the winter.
We have found it very satisfactory to
tie the plants in small punches then
slip over the bunch a gunny sack and
fail the beans in this manner. The
beans may then be famed and are
ready for use.
Navy or white beans are now worth
10 to 10 dollars per bushel, while soy
beans can be bought for 4 to dol
lars. Under good field conditions the
soy bean will produce 20 to 25 bushels
OF seed per acre, while the field bean
will not produce under satisfactory
conditions more than 16 to 20 bushels.
It will pay everyone who is anxious
to increase the food supply for the
family to grow a few Of these beans.

VOTES FOR WOMEN!

How obviously absurd is the atti-
tude of a certain of our representa-
tives at Washington; 1872 of them
have just sent a cable to Lloyd
George, asking England to establish
democracy in Ireland. OF those 1872
men, 81 are against Woman Suffrage.
1t is manifestly clear that if England
enfranchises her women and Home
Rule is conferred on Ireland, the Irish
women, as well as the English women
will have the right to vote. Down to
brass tGcks, these men-antis are fight
ing for votes for English Irish,
Scotch and Welsh women, but not for
American women.
The same attitude is taken by the
Women-Antis, who are so feverishly
working to establish a democracy in
the war-ridden countries of Europe.
With the close of this great world
conflict, will sound the trumpet call
of freedom for the women of the war
ring countries, in almost every case.
OF this, we are firmly convinced.
If the new War Tax Bill goes thru,
it means a tax of $3S for every man
woman and child in the United States.
Women, as well as men, will take the
straining of their resources by this
tax, as patriotic duty IL is tax
designed to come straight into every
household. 1t will be put upon house
hold light and heat, on the telephone,
on newspapers. on tea and coffee. In
come taxes will strike hard at women
managing family purses, and will af-
feet salaried women as the income tax
has never affected them before.
Women today, are forced to contrib
ute these war taxes as unrecognized
political slaves. 1t is inconceivable
that those who submit to this author
ity, should not have a voice in their
own government

Bryce Peace League
DETAILS OF LEAGUE TO ENFORCE
PEACE ARE GIVEN OUT THURSDAY
Plans by Former British Ambassador at Wash
ington Closely Follow American Proposal But
Go Step Further i n Direction of Common
Endorsements

London. April 12.-Details Of what il
known as the Bryce scheme. for league
to enforce peace. were given out today
by Lord Bryce. former British ambassa-
dor at Washington. In "a letter accom-
panying his statement Lord Bryce says
the plan was drawn UP by himself and a
committee Of prominent Englshment two
years ago, but had not been made public
previously because "the time for publ
cation did not seem to have arrived ana
because opinion in England, in the midst
of the war. had been regarded up to now
as unfavorable for calm consideration Of
the future. The plan apparently ante
dates the proposal advocated by former
President Taft and endorsed by President
Wilson. Lord Bryce says:
THE entrance of the United States into
the war makes It desirable that the ef-
forts of the American League to Enforce
Peace should be responded to by express
sions Of public opinion here. I, therefore.
venture to lay before you a scheme al
most identical with that of the American
league. 1t was prepared by a group Of
men here two years ago.
