GOVERNOR WHITMAN Is
DETERMINED TO STOP BOXING

NEW YORK. March 29.-GovernCr
Whitman of New York is determined
that before the close of this year box
ing will be kicked completely OF of
New York. His determination, he de-
c!ared in recent informal discussions,
is unalterable. He is opposed to the
game from every angle.
The unfavorable publicity the game
has received in this city, the unfavor-
able and unsayory bouts that have been
pulled OFF from time to time, Fred
Wenck's unfortunate experience with
the hot end of that 500 check and sew
eral other things, have soured Whit
man completely.
Wenck's conduct in Office was very
bad, and it was the stray that broke
the governors back. He announced
that Wenck would be removed from
Office and then let it be known in an
unofficial way that no one would be
appointed to replace the deposed char
man of the boxing commission.
Wenck did several things while in
Office that looked bad, among them be-
ing his feat OF borrowing $500 from the
manager of fighter, no small stunt
He repaid the money, but Franklin d.
Lord, the governors representative.
who heard the evidence in charges
brought by Harry Pollok, John White
and others, held that Wenck acted in
disrespect to the dignity of his Office
in asking for the loan.
AS if this were not enough Wenck
permitted his office to be used on more
than one occasion as headquarters for
visiting boxers who were to appear in
New York rings. Not only did he do
that, but he even recommended a
"hustling young manager of a fight
club" to a former manager of Fred
Fulton, who asked regarding the sta
bility of clubs. He also Endorsed a
note for $500 to help this manager
stage match.
These things were bad, they nettl ii
the governor, and he was firmly de-
termined to end the game for all time
when teh evidence was all in. Moth
ing can stop it in New York. The
Frawley bill is doomed, and there IS
little wonder. The way promoters and
managers, not to speak of the BOXERS
have treated their liberties is enough
to shame anything into hiding.
And, in passing, it is enough to pro-
woke a giggle to witness the fact that
in getting revenge on Wenck for re-
fusing a license to conduct bouts in
Madison Square Garden, Harry Pollok
gave a perfect representation of the
man who cut off his nose to spite his
| face.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, March
29.-Dislocation of the foreign trade CT
Holland, resulting from the restric-
tions upon her imports and exports
imposed by the belligerents in tn cir
economic struggle, is emphasized by
DIR. John Loudon, the Dutch minister
for foreign affairs; and F. E. Post
huma, minister of agriculture. indus
try and commerce. Their report, now
made public, holds particular interest
for America, as it deals in part with
the restrictions imposed upon the inn
portation of American goods.
Virtually everything now imported
from Holland oversee, including goods
from Hollands own colonies, the min
listers assert, has to be guaranteed by
the Netherlands oversee Trust as be-
ing for neutral destination and con-
sumption. Even then, the Entente al
lies permit no goods to be imported by
Holland until they ascertain whether
the various articles are needed for
normal consumption in that country.
While this investigation is in progress,
the importations are detained by the
Entente even when they come from
Dutch colonies, America or other neu-
trail countries. Owing to objections on
the part of the British government, i'm
ports guaranteed by the Oversee Trust
sometimes are held up for months after
their arrival in Holland.
Comes From Neutrals.
Expectations for Holland virtually
are limited to articles originating N
neutral countries. This means that
Holland cannot export goods in which
more than 25 per cent of the raw ma
terials came from belligerent couh-
tries.
Earnest objections have been raised
against the action of Great Britain in
imposing regulations and restrictions
upon Hollands exports, while permit
ting their own subjects to export the
same goods to neutral countries, under
conditions which the Dutch manufac-

turers are willing to observe. By this
action, the ministers said, Dutch pro
ducts are replaced by products of 9TH
er countries.
Dutch exports and imports by over
land routes are checked by prohibitions
upon transportation issued by the Cen
trail Powers. The cOntraband lists OF
the Teutonic allies has been extended
with damaging effect upon Hollands
trade.
The black list system put into effect
by some of the belligerents is declared
by the Dutch ministers to have made
it impossible for many Dutch firms to
do business.
Obstacles placed by Great Britain in
the way of regular importations from
America of lubricating oils. benzine,
gasoline and petroleum have had SER
ious effect. The British demand that
rubber goods and electric-technical
materials shall not be imported direct
from America but must come via Great
Britain, has caused a scarcity of those
goods. Hospitals are suffering from
shortage of rubber gloves, as one eff
feet Of this restriction.
Holland has also felt severely the
prohibition of export from Germany OF
raw materials for the manufacture Of
iron and steel. Various industries
have been obliged to restrict produc-
ton and others to stop all work, caus-
iEg unemployment.
Agriculture and market gardening
has suffered because of restraint OF
importation of fertilizers and cattle
forage from South America and upon
agricultural implements. Ships have
been compelled to leave in British
ports materials destined for the gov
ernment's artillery works. Further
shipments for America were, in con-
sequence, stopped until the materials
already shipped had been released, Of

shipments were made, these sometimes
suffered the same delay.

Soy Beans Are Fine Product
For Planting By the Farmer

pounds. At least three civilizations
should be given the crop.
AS a forage crop, soy beans are
chiefly remarkable for the high con-
tent of digestible protein in the hay,
which is comparable in feeding value
to alfalfa and red clover hay. In many
cases, however, it is perhaps more
profitable to use the crop as pasture
for hogs in combination with a ration
CT corn. Soy beans and corn may be
grown together or the soy beans may
be sown broadcast at the last cultiva-
ton of the corn. BY planting at di5-
ferent times or by planting different
varieties, the grazing may be extended
ever a considerable period. The refuse
vines and the manure resulting from
grazing add greatly to the fertility of
the soil.
When grown for ensilage, soy beans
are generally combined with corn.
Good results are secured from a mix
ture Of two or three parts of corn and
one part of soy beans. Sorghum is
also grown with the beans both for
hay and for ensilage, and a combina-
ton of soy beans and cowpeas makes
very satisfactory hay.
AS a seed crop, soy DEANS hitherto
have not been grown extensively ex-
cept in a few sections. They produce
more seed othe acre, however, than
cowpeas, and yield of from 20 to 80
bushels should be expected from the
best varieties. The cost is generally
about the same as for corn, but, in
computing the profits. not only the
value of the seed but the benefit to the
land in which the beans have been
grown and the thrashed vines as
source of feed must be considered.
In feeding value, the soy bean COM
pares fayorably with linseed and cot
tonseed meal and it is usually COM
bined with some less concentrat ID
feed. For milk and for butter produc-
duction soy-bean meal is regarded as
superior to cotton seed.
As human food. the soy bean Is still
comparatively unknown in this coun-
try. There are many ways, however,
ir which it can be utilized The bean
is remarkable for the small quantity
of starch it contains, and this fact
makes it desirable for many persons
who are required to avoid starch. The
dry beans may be used in baking -
in soup much like the ordinary field
or navy bean, although they require
somewhat long soaking and cooking.
When from three-fourths to full
grown, the soy bean compares favor
ably with the butter or Lima bean.
Soy-bean meal, or -four, may also be
used in any receipt which calls for
cornmeal. A combination that has
been found satisfactory is one-fourth
or one-third soy-bean flour and the
remainder wheat flour.

WASHINGTON D. c., March 20
Under certain conditions the soy bean
has many points of superiority over the
cowpeas, say specialists in the U. s.
Department of Agriculture, and the
average farmer will be we'll advised to
give this crop his serious attention. It
can be put to a wide variety of uses
and it can be grown wherever corn or
cotton is cultivated. For these reas-
ons, it seems certain that it will be-
come far more important crop in the
United States than it has been in the
past. Its greatest development, how
ever, should take place in the cotton
belt where the later and larger variet-
les which give yields that make their
extensive cultivation profitable can Re
grown.
From an agricultural point of view,
soy beans may be regarded as a for
age crop, as pasture, as soil renova-
tor. or as ensilage. AS a cash crop,
the value of the seed is sufficient to
encourage the production Of soy
beans, and it is quite possible that the
demand will be much greater in the
future. Soy-bean seeds contain val
liable vegetable oil the consumption
o, all varieties of which in this coun-
try is steadily increasing. Further
more, soy beans have long been one OF
the principal articles of human food in
the Far East and greater familiarity
with the many ways in which they
may be utilized for this purpose should
increase the demand in this country.
The soil requirements of soy beans
are similar to those of corn, but the
plant will make satisfactory growth
on the poor soil. The best results per-
haps are obtained on medium loans.
A well-drained soil is not essential,
though water should not stand on the
land for any considerable length Of
time. The soy bean, however, can
withstand a gerater amount Of mois-
ture than either cowpeas or corn. On
the other hand, it is much more
drought-resistant than the cowpeas.
Where the soil is of low fertility, or
sand predominates, good results have
been obtained from the use of COM
mercial fertilizer. Lime almost in
variably increases the yield.
Sow After FrOsts.
The beans may be sown at any time
after danger of severe frosts is over.
but in the South, as a rule, it is pre-
ferable to SOW late varieties about the
same time as corn. An ordinary grain
drill, cotton planter, or corn planter
can be used satisfactorily in planting
large areas. The general practice for
seed production is the row method, 80
tC As inches apart. For hay, soilins,
or green manure a drilled or broadcast
crop is customary, provided the land Is
not too weedy. Broadcasting requires
from 60 to 30 pounds of seed per acre,
and sowing In rows from 20 to 80

ment of Agriculture calls attention to
these and similar facts and names a
number of the varieties which are
best suited for the various purposes
for which the crop is likely to be put.

FARMERS INSTITUTE CLOSES.

The Farmers Institute, which was
inaugurated at North Middletown un-
der the auspices of the North Middle.
town Commercial Club, closed an in
teresting three-days' session in that
city Saturday. The attendance was
very good and d great Zeal of interest
was manifested in the proceedings.
Miss Mary K. Sweeney, of Lexington
who was on the program for a talk,
was unable to be present, having I'M
dergone an operation at the Good Sa-
marian Hospital, in Lexington, for ap.
pendicitis.
An unprogramed talk provided an
unexpected feature of the closing day
of the Institute. Mr.. James H. Thomp-
son, one of the leading farmers of the
county, uttered a vigorous protest
against the proposed new tax law, u.s.
ing the time allotted to Hon. Reuben
B. Hutchcraft, who had expected to de-
fend it, but who was detained in
Frankfort.
Mr. Thompson took the ground that
the proposed system was devised by
non-farming interests, and would re
suit in heavier burden for owners of
real estate and the exemption of "spe-
! cial interests" He said that he had
devoted ten years to the study of the
! tax problem, and marshalled an i'm
uressive array CT statistics to support
his contention. Unless the proposed
law should be radically amended, he
! declared that il would result in "the
Ilegalizing of highway robbery, and the
shifting of real estate of the remaining
FIFTEEN per cent. of the taxes that make
up the total revenue Of the State"
, He said that he did not charge that
the authors OF the bill were not hon
est men, but that they had been made
the "dupes of special interests seek
ing to escape from any taxation
whatever" He said that he believed
that Mr.. Hutchcraft had come to a re
alizaticr that an alliance with the tau
program was not an alliance with the
farmers. Mr.. Thompson had been ii
Frankfort for several days, arguing
his proposition before the members o.
the Legislature.
The closing address of the institute
was delivered by DR.. II. II. Cherry
president Of the Western Kentucky
Normal School at Richmond. The
proceedings were brought to close
Saturday night with a concert by the
Chatham Concert Co., of New York
VINO rendered an interesting musica
