poor, sandysoil. We made from 10
to 16 bushels of corn and from Is to
27 bushels of beans per acre, the
average yield of beans being 20A bu-
shells per acre, Figuring 80 pounds
per busheD. We had seven acres of
these beans on better land which pro-
duced 1915 bushels per acre. They
are magnificent feed, suitable for
feeding to mules and cattle without
grinding Hogs will also do well on
beans, though it is better to feed them
ground.
In order to grow velvet beans sue
ccssfully it is necessary to get them
i'm early. We recommend the plant
ing of corn in 7-foot rows and the
planting of velvet beans in an open
shovel furrow in the middles from
April 20 to May l. On poor land
plant one bean every lS to "a inches,
on rich land one or two beans every
three or four feet. If preferred, the
! beans may be planted between the
hills of corn. 1t is absolutely neces-
sary, however, to get them in very
early if full crop is to be made.
Tenant Cooperation
1t will be impossible to get the CO.
operation of the tenant class in car
rying out this program unless they
are assured of a reasonable tenure
of the land. The land owner should
assure his tenant that he will not be
required to move as long as he car
rics out this rotation and properly
cultivatcs his crop.
One of the most attractive features
of the program outlined above is that
it is safe and practicable even if the
boil wcevil should delay or entirely
cease his progress Ca theory for which
there is no warrant, If adopted it
will result in the enrichment of the
soils, the increase of livestock, a big
| reduction in farm expense, and an all
around sane farming system.
Another most compelling reason
for greatly increasing the production
of grains and livestock is the world
| war into which it seems this nation
will be forced to become a partici-
pant. "A food famine threatens half
| the world and even this great food
producing nation has no adequate
surplus with which to relieve the nee
essity Of other peoples and is itself
feeling most acutcly the high cost of
the ncccssaries of life. Both self-in-
| terest and patriotism should at this
this Juncture induce every farmer in
| this country to produce all the food
stuff possible.
hope very much that every land
owner, banker and merchant in the
State will realize the absolute neccS-
| sty of using his most earnest efforts
to secure the adoption Of this or some
closely similar program this very year
by all our farmers, both large and
small, white and black. 1t is not
mainly question of philanthropy; it
is one of actual bread and butter, in
which the banker, merchant and pro-
fcssional man are just as much inter
cstcd as is the farmer. Let us then
all wake up before it is too late and
do the obviously necessary thing for
our own and the States safety and
prosperity.

GIRL II, IS SIX FEET TALL.
Made Remarkable Growth in the Last
Three Years.

BALTIMORE, July 3. ~ A girl who
has been growing for the last three
years at a phenomenal rate and is now
over six feet tall, although only II
years old, is being given the expert at
tention Of medical men of the Johns
Hopkins hospital, who expect to see her
become a prodigy, a veritable giantess,
without loss of mental powers.
For the last three years her growth
has been phenomenal, surprising all
records at the hospital. Until she was
nine years old she was simply a large
girl but not likely to attract attention.
Occasional pains accompanied her sud
den growth, but her health remains un-
impaired. She weighs 1174 pounds.
Developing fohdness for books, she
has read many more than an average
child of her age and the severe test of
her intellect made by the experts in
that time at the hospital gave this
verdict: "'She is above the average III

LONDON, july 3.-Enelish children
are rejoiced by the new summer time
schedule under which the clock is adj
vanced one hour, but their parents are
not made so happy by the change. The
extra hour of daylight comes at the end
of the day and affords the children an
extra hour for play. The: refuse to 90
to bed an hour earlier than before the
change in time and their parents, whose
day i work ends only when the children
are snugly- i'll bed, are in despair.
The educational authorities are be
ginning to display concern over the re
sHting loss of sleep among children
Parents and teachers are complaining
because the longers hours Of the sum
mer day induce the child to steal fol
play the time that should be devoted to
rccuperative slumber. The effect is said
to he to rctard rather than to promote
the welfare of pupils in the schools The
teachers assert that the hour of slecl

ENGLAND READY TO
TAKE OVER SALOONS
Crown Appoints Three Commissions tt
Pave the Way to a Government
Monopoly.

LONDON, July 8 The government
clearly showed its hand yesterday and in
dcated a disposition to establish a gov
ernment monopoly of liquor traffic and
manufacture by appointing commissions
to investigate and report on the subject.
The instructions to the commissions,
one each for Ireland, Scotland, England
and Wales, say:
The government, being of the opin-
ion that it may be necessary shortly, as
an urgent war measure, to assume control
Of the supply and manufacture Of intox.
lcating liquors during the war and de-
mobilization after the war, and as such
control involves the purchase after the
war Of the interests involved, you are
hereby to appoint a commission to inquire
and report on the terms upon which the
interests should be acquired and the
financial arrangements which should be
made,
The announcement of such program
is especially disappointing to the liquor
interests, which until the last hoped the
government might be satisfied to assume
control during the war and then restore
old conditions Instead, the government
commits itself to immediate control and
purchase after the war, which if carried
out, would end the hope of rc-establishine
the liquor industry as an independent af
| fair.
The general belief is that such pro
gram would open the way for a temper
ance agitation which would shortly make
the kingdom dry, for as soon as the gov
crnment assumes control of the business
it would be impossible for it to emplo,
great sums Of money in politics and prop
aganda as heretofore.
