SOY BEANS IN THE ROTATION.

Inquiry-"Will you recommend 4
rotation in which soy beans, cotton
and some other crop will be used?'
Soy beans are highly recommended.
They are q legume and. therefore, do
not require much nitrogen. The hay
Is abundant and the feeding value
high. The oil mills afford q ready
market for the bean, and the cake
which is produced By the mills has
splendid feeding values.
A good rotation to follow is cotton
followed BY corr with soy beans, fol-
lowed by oats and cowpeas. For
southern conditions Hollybrook and
Monmouth Yellow are recommended.

"The American people can appreci-
ate in some measure the feeling of
those Germans who want peace, says
the Yonkers Statesman. 'We all
want peace. There are some things,
however, that we desire more than
peace, or as preliminary and indis-
penssble to it, or we should never
have gone to war. And that is true
of every nation today fighting Ger
many. 1t is important to emphasize
the fact. The peace seekers of Ger
many cannot be allowed to get away
unchallenged with the assertion that
they are seeking peace as an sggrieved
and injured nation. The only grieve-
snce Germany has against the world is
that the world refused to lie down and
be trampled under foot when Germany
began trampling.
'When the Reichstag peace-seekers
declare Germany has taken up arms
only in the defense of her liberty and
independence and for the protection
of her territorial possessions, they
ask the world to believe the obviously
and utterly false. Germany took W
arms in the spirit of conquest. Ger
many went to war in order to estab'
lish herself in the Balkans and tC
crush France and Russia as rival Pow
ers. Germany planned. nursed ant
finally forced the European war t.
satisfy her lust for power.
Germany cannot now come befor

her head. The crime lies at her door.
She is not being prosecuted. she is
being punished. The allied nations
cannot make peace on the basis that
they were the sggressors and that
Germany is the wronged. The
Reichstag aspires to peace by nego-
tiation and perpetual reconciliation
among nations, says one of its cham
pions. With a peace such as this
all annexations by force and all poll
tical, industrial and financial measures
undertaken by violence are incompa-
tible.
"These are fine sentiments after
bleeding Belgium white of money,
tools, raw materials and men; after
having lived upon Poland and Rumanis
and Serbia and Northern France. DO
the Germans think the people of these
nations have no memories! Do they
think the world has no sense Of JUS
tice?
Germany must understand when
peace is made that the world is under
no illusions as to the nature of hel
offending. Nor will the world make
peace until it is sure the foundations
have been laid upon which democracy
can be built without further fear.
