't1GA RiAkf H F6Sb ! CROP
SOUTHERN PRESIDENT TALKS
OF GREAT POSSIBILITIES OF
THIS FOOD

Washington, d. c.. Oct. 17.-"ln the
velvet bean the south has a new food
crop of high value" said Fairfax
Harrison, president fthe Southern
Railway System, today.
"This bean promises to be one of
the great agricultural assets of the
South. The northern limit of its sue
cessful production is substantially the
same as the northern limit of the cot
ton belt. 1t is grown in corn, increas-
ing the yiled, of corn, as it is great
nitrogen gatherer, and the cost of
production is so small that it has been
aptly said that it is all its name i'm
plies-all velvet In former years it
has been grown extensively enough
to demonstrate its great economic val
ue, and this year its production has
spread owed almost the entire cotton
belt, at least 100000 acres being
grown in the States served by this
railway system.
"As it is practically a new crop
there has been little exact scientific
study of its feeding value at Agricul-
utral Experiment Stations, but its
practical use by feeders and dairy
en- has demonstrated that it gives re-
suits that compare favorably with
those obtained from other protein
feeds. The most economical way OF
feeding is to gather the corn and
then turn cattle and hogs into the
field to feed on the beans, vines and
corn stalks. If cattle alone ar fed
in this way many of the beans Will
be knocked to the ground, trampled
and lost, but hogs will get all of these
1t has been said that two acres of this
pasture will carry four or five head
of cattle through to spring grass, and
in the spring the farmer has a fine
lot of manure and vegetable matter
to turn under. The beans may be
gathered and fed to cattle in the pod,
soaking the pods twenty-four hours
before feeding. Velvet bean meal,
made by grinding beans alone, or vel
vet bean feed made by grinding the
beans and the pods together may =
fed. The latter is recommended as
being the better way of feeding where
it is impracticable to pasture the
crop. About fifteen pounds a day is
the maximum feed for a steer or
dairy COW. An especially fine feed is
made by mixing ground beans and
hulls with about one-third corn and
cob meal This is highly recommend
ed for dairy COWS. When velvet beans
and pods are fed to hogs they should
be ground very fine Velvet beans
are not relished by horses or mules.
"The ground beans and hulls con

mills for grinding the beans and
hulls are being put in all over the
.crritory where they are produced and
the feed will be available ior stock
men and dairymen in all parts Of the
United States"

HOSPITAL UNITS FIND
HARD WORK In ALBANIA
TWENTY SIX CALiFORNlANS
TRANSFERRED FROM FRANCE
WORK AMONG POOR PEOPLE.

Somewhere in Albania, Oct. 10
Twenty-six Californians who form one
of the ambulance sections of the Amer
lean Field Service, are the latest arri-
walls in Albania. All of them have
driven in France and experienced the
intensive warfare that goes on there
and who finr the work here much
harder, though just as interesting.
The shocking condition of most of
the roads is as largely responsible as
any other factor for making the work
more difficult The country is noun
famous and breakdowns are the regu-
lar order OF the day. AS frequently as
not wheels come off or break and the
ambulances have to be left on noun
tain roadsides until assistance can
reach them.
Many of the "osts" are perched on
hillsides, often in plain sight of the
Austrians, and their trenches are fire.
quently in view. By the same token
the Austrians can see the ambulances
as they climb up and down. But war
fare in this section is not only gentle
manly" so that the Americans are
never fired on, but the transports of
munitions up the hills is so difficult
that it is never wasted on moving OBJ
ects and is saved for definite station
airy objects.
Air raids are frequent and exciting
but the natives seem to get the worst
of them. That is principally because
the Austrians seem to choose just that
time for raiding that the French are
over Austrian territory, and none OF
the aviators ever seem to get hurt.
The Americans had great difficulty
at the beginning with the food, water
and climate, but are used to them now
In between their duties they find time
to study the native population which
in general is ragged and poverty
stricken. Many of them speak Eng
lish, since they have been in the
United States as contract laborers.
Much of the country has been badly
devastated by this and preceding wars,
many villages have been RACED and de-
serted, while scarcely one but shows
evidence of the struggles. Prices are
sky high and going higher all the time.
Bread which used to sell for thirty
confines per loaf before the Balkan
wars, is two fancs loaf during the
past winter The population would
have starved in fact if it had not been
for the French army, because the PEG
pie had sold it's food supply to the
Austro-G German forces.

The startling demonstration of the
efficiency Of the great Italian bombing
plane in its recent flights over Wash
ington has been followed by a decision
of the American aviation authorities to
concentrate on this type. This does
not mean the building of fighting and
scout planes is to be abandoned but
that additional pressure will be
brought to bear to rush thousands OF
bombing planes.
