"Relief work by the American COM
mittee for Armenian and Syrian re-
lief began in January, 1916. and is
still going on and growing in extent

evacuation Of that region by the Rus
slams in August, 1916, and the COM
mittee has decided that the time for
repatriation on a large scale will be
only after final victory over the Turks
has been won.
Among the refugees are compare
lively few men as more Of them than

massacres. AS a result there are in the

were beautifully entertained by
Mrs. w. A. Byrd on Saturday;

al program was carried out, as their
director wishes to leave no moment

The Nations Urgent Need.

The supreme need of our nation
and of the nations with which we
are cooperating is an abundance of
supplies. and espec;allyof foodstuffs.
Without abundant food, alike for
the armies aud the peoples row at
war, the whole great enterprise
upon which we have embarked will
break down and fall. The worlds
FOOD reserves are low.
Not only during the present
emergency, bnt for some time after
peace shall have come, both our
own people and large proportion
of the people of Europe must rely
upon the harveStS in America.
Upon the farmers Of this country,
therefore. in large measure, rests
the fate of the war and the fate of
the nations.
| particularly appeal to the farm
ers Of the South TO plant abundant
foodstalfs, as well as cotton. They
can show their patriotism in no
better or more convincing way than
by resisting the great temptation Of
the present price Of Gotten and help
inc to feed the nation and the
peoples fighting for their liberties
and our own. The variety Of their
crops Will be the visible measure Of
their comprehension Of their
national duty.-PreSident Woodrow
Wilson
This is an appeal that doubtless
will be needed. The farmers of
the country will vie with each other
to do,the luties in the burrows as
we'll as in the training camps and
trenches. That there are many
difficulties to be met IN increasing
production need hardly be argued
But these will be me, and overcome.
Since all classes and occupations
have been called upon by President
Wilson TO render patriotic services
in production and distribution OF
foods it will be desirable for close
cooperation in which every class
and every individual does his best.
This is the way to produce more
and put it on the table of the con-
sumner at the least cost possible

Planting Summer Legumes.

Planting peas. soy beans, velvet
beans and peanuts as companion
crops with corn and the grain sor-
ghums should be done this year
more than ever before. We are
striving to increase the yield this
year as well we may, but we should
not forget that the soil must be
kept up so our yield will not de-
crease the following years. To
maintain the fertility of our soil we
should plant legumes on every acre
that can be planted to increase the
nitrogen and the humus contents of
the soil.
Fortunate are those who have
plenty of legume seeds, such as peas,
SOY beans, velvet beans and peanuts.
Those who have seeds to sell should
advertise them 50 the people who
need late planting seed may buy.
Strenuous means should be en-
ployed to plant cowpeas, soy beans,
velvet beans and peanuts not only IN
plats to themselves for seed and for
feed, but also in corn and grain sor-
ghum fields to improve the soil, TO
afford grazing or to make hay as the
legume may be adapted to the pur-
pose.
The legumes mentioned are adapt
ed to late planting, and may be
planted any time when there is sutfi-
cient moisture up till the first of
July, and perhaps little later In
some localities, Let preparations be
made to plant them and get the ben
efts.
Especially will it be desirable to
prepare to plant the oat and wheat
stubble fields in some of these leg
umes. If the season will permit
much can be accomplished ~ plant
ing the stubble fields. 1t is GER
tainly worth an efort.-Farm aud
