ORANGE COUNTY FARMERS
ASSOCIATION NOTES.
Notes for Week Ending May 20.

Last year about 80 farmers tried soy
beans with corn, using about five bushels
Of seed or covering about 70 acres. This
year present Indications are that 100
farmers will use about 60 bushels of
seed and try on about 900 acres Seven
varieties are known to be grown this
year and on many fields more than one
variety is being tried. A. b. Palmer OF
North Thetford is going to try ali sew
en- varieties on his farm as a trial dem
onstration All of these varieties have
been suggested as desirable for our con-
ditons. This field will give lis some
more definite data regarding their re-
spective merits.
The e. S. department Of agriculture,
which has furnished incubation for the
legumes in small amounts for trial in
past seasons, will be unable to furnish it
this year owing to the unprecedented de-
mand. As the county agent had been
depending on this for many of his soy
bean plots it viii necessitate their trial
in many cases without the incubation.
Enough has been secured to try this in
Unconstitutional way so that another
year we can tell whether it will pay to
purchase commercial incubation for the
beans.
The use of soy beans as food has
brought some questions to this Office. In
at least one store they have been found
for sale for this purpose. The u. S, de-
partment recommends them as a desir
able substitute for beans. Those who
have tried them will confer a favor on
Others by reporting their result to the
county agent. There seems TO be a diff
ference of opinion among those who have
been seen regarding their desirability.
The season is late and many are anx
ious to get corn in the ground. The
county agent finds many of the older
farmers cautioning against putting the
seed in until the growth of leaves shows
the soil is warm enough for growth. We
do not want to waste our seed this year, I
as surplus for reseeding will be hard to
find
The many who are trying beans for /
the first time are cautioned similarly |

The month Of June will be the time /

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
1t Has Resulted in White Slavery in
Topeka, Speaker Asserts. 80

Two hundred and twelve Kansas
girls, mostly from small towns, were
lured into degradation by white
slavers during the last six months of
1916, according to S. Z. Belts, lecturer
for the International Purity fedora
ton, who talked to delegates at the
Methodist conference here late Mon
day afternoon. These girls have not
been located since they disappeared,
except a part traced to Kansas City,
the Barbary coast of Kansas, Mr.. Belts
said.
Betts's address dealt wholly with
the white slave traffic. Even Topeka
is not free from it's hideous operations,
he said, and followed the assertion
with the declaration that he could
mention incidents here that would
appall you"
Il can mention names and places. "
he said. where the securing of the
victims took place. Love at first
sight is the bait used in the majority
of cases. Offering girls employment
at high wages and promising to secure
them places on the stage are others.
Every year $4,000 girls in this
country commit suicide after becom-
ing victimized by the traffic"

HOLD NO FINAL EXAMS
X. U. Seniors Also Want Commence
ment Held Two Weeks Earlier.

Lawrence, Kan, March 27.-Peti-
lions are being circulated among the
juniors and seniors of the University
of Kansas, asking that seniors be eX-
empt from final examinations. If their
work is satisfactory and that COM
mencement be held two weeks earlier
than now scheduled.
with the present system OF examln-
atoms, the results are not known to
the seniors until preparations have
been made for commencement. 1t IS
argued that near the end of the term,
the instructors should know whether
or not a student is deserving degree,
and could tell them at that time.
If the student should fail, under the
petitioned plan, he would not have to
make the expensive preparations for
the last exercises.
All of the students would be here
for commencement if it were held
two weeks earlier. Also visitors would
have an opportunity of seeing more
of the real work of the University.
The Universities of Missouri, Okla
homa. and Nebraska, and many
schools in the east and extreme west
have a plan in operation under which
seniors who are doing satisfa Glory
work are exempt from the finals and
it is the aim of the students circulat-
ing the petition to secure a similar
plan here.

Possesses so Millions i'm Pennsy

He Has an Income of So Dol
lars Minute.

New York, March 27.-Nicholas
ii, deposed car of Russia, is by far
the richest man in all the world. His
private wealth is not less than $1,000
100000. In many quarters it Is
believed large part of this will be
seized by the Russian people to
finance the war
Nicholas Romanof1s wealth is
largely invested in foreign bonds and
stocks. His American holdings are
said to be extensive. 1t is understood
that he owns 100000 worth of the
Pennsylvania railroads stocks. His
name does not appear in the list OF
that corporations stockholders for OBJ
vious reasons. Instead some nom
inal owners appear.
The deposed car also owns about
6S0,OO0,000 acres of land in Russia.
Most of Russias mineral resources
are his private property. Into the
czar's private treasury, according to
the Russian law, one-third of Rus
sia's gold and silver output is annually
contributed.
Since the treaty of Portsmouth the
Russian empire has occupied S,647,-
657 square miles, or one-seventh of
the land surface of the globe. 1t has
a population of about 200,000,000 or
fewer than twenty-five to the square
mile. Nominally the autocrat owns
both land and people, but he and his
family. out of the immense total of
94S,063,763 acres, actually own and
receive the revenue from $50, 93S, 927
acres, about 20 per cent of the whole
land area of RusSia-One-tenth that
of the world.
Nobody knows exactly the mount
of the cars enormous income. The
expenditure of some of it is traceable
to certain public works whose budgets
are matters of public record, and a
large part is known to be absorbed by
his family and their dependents, who
number about 5000, and are entirely
apart from the noble class, which has
no Romanoff affiliations The car

Besides this enormous revenue he de-

According 20 the Almanach Ha-
Ghetto the car enjoys an annual in

All this is in addition to the income
from the Romanoff property of ESQ.,

ing:
THE average decrease in farm produc-
ton IN the eastern half of Kansas in 40
years is 3315 per cent, while the popula
time.
1.-The selling of soil products. instead
OF feeding them to livestock, is the cause
or the trouble, and more livestock on the
farm is the only remedy.
"A ton of butter, worth at least S6t0
removes but fifty cents worth of fertility
from the soil, which is practically the
same quantity removed by two bushels
OF wheat, or u bushel and a half of corn
THE market demand for dairy and
poultry products is sufficient to warrant
Kansas farmers in adding million cows
to their flocks.
1.-The average careful farmer can add
$1,000 to his farm profits by using ten
good milk cows and 400 reliable hens
o-Ihe average milk COW should return
at least 81 worth of products for every
dollars worth of feed consumed.

dollar every year.
S-A farmer should keep books on every
milk COW and on every hen to see that she
does not eat her head off," Get rid of

market, because they keep so much better
than fertile eggs.

large acreage of oats is being sowed in
Republic county this spring and the
largest per cent is seeded on wheat

as evidence that the agriculturists of
northern Kansas are not going to quit
because of it being so bone dry
