WASHINGTON, D. c., March %
The development of new varieties OF
the velvet bean has made this legume
available over a much larger portion
OF the country than used to be the
case. It is regarded by specialists in
the u. S. Department of Agriculture as
the most vigorous of all annual leg
umes in regions to which it is adapted.
AS a green-manure crop 1T is unexceE-
cd and the mature pods afford pastur-
age which has no equal among le-
gumes. The ground pods and seeds
can be made into feeds which are now
highly esteemed. Moreover, the plant
is notably free from disease and in
sect enemies and entirely immune to
the wilt that affects cowpeas. A new
circular of the U. S. Department Of
Agriculture calls the attention CT
farmers in the cotton belt to these
facts.
The velvet bean has been known 10
Florida for approximately forty years.
It was first used as an ornamental
vine for trellises and porches, but its
value as a cover and green-manure
crop was soon discovered. Its use as
a forage crop is more recent
Twenty New Varieties.
In the past ten years the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture has introduc-
ed about twenty new varieties into
America and has secured many hy-
birds by breeding. Many of these new
er varieties lack the velvety, hairy
pods which are responsible for the
name velvet" bean, but in growth and
general appearance they resemble the
original variety. A most vital i'm
nrovement, however, is the fact that a
few of these new varieties can be
grown much farther north than the
original one, which rarely natures
forther north than the northern boun-
Diary of Florida. Several of the new
varieties, on the other hand, can be
grown over large portion of the cot
ton belt. The circular already men
toned states that where the growing
season is short, the Yokohama velvet
bean deserves attention. but that the
value of this variety should be con-
sidered in comparison with cowpeas
and soy beans. For districts farther
south, the Georgia velvet bean is prob
ably the most desirable of the medium
early sorts, although the Chinese
seems to produce larger yields Of pods.
A map accompanying the circular in
dicates the limits within which each
of the well-known varieties will ma
ture.
The work of agricultural scientists
with the velvet bean has resulted in q
number of striking instances of the ef-
feet of this crop in renoyating soil. At

GOVERNMENT TO PAY ONE
HALF OF WAGES INCREASE.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The gov
eminent today opened a way for pos
sible settlement of strikes in Pacific
coast shipyards by offering to pay
half of any wage increase for com
! panies making MOI more than 10 per
cent. profit on Communicated ships
San Francisco builders in whose
plants strike of iron workers is in
progress, agreed to consider the
workers demand for more pay, on the
shipping boards stsharing propo-
sal and prospects fer settling the
strike were reported bright.
Chairman Hurley of the board post
poned indefinitely "trip to the coast
on which he had intended to start to-
night. Agents of the board and of the
Department of Labor in San Francis
co reported that the employers and
men seemed near an agreement and
that work on the Communicated ships
might be resumed within few days.
Mr. Hurley conferred again to-day
with Samuel Gompers and other Off
Gals Of tie American Federation of
Labor Tomorrow he will give at
tention to the strikes at Seattle, Port
land and ether Pacific coast points
and indications were there they
might be settled on the basis of the
proposal made to San Francisco
builders.
The shipping boards action is con-
sidered significant inasmuch as it in
dictates belief that the workers de-
mand for higher pay would be grant
ed. The board also emphasizes it's de-
termination not to let any difficulties
prevent The speedy prosecution of its
big shipbuilding program.
To avoid being compelled to pay a
proportion of wage increases for com
panies making big profits on govern
ment contracts, however, the present
offer specifies that profits of more
ten per cent. must be applied to the
government share if the payment. In
cases where profits are high the en-
tire additional cost of extra pay
grants may be borne by the builders.
TIL cost sharing proposal will apply
only to vessels under construction
Communicated by The government to
hasten their completion and will not
affect ships ordered originally by the
governments Contracts for these
cover such exignencies as wage in
creases either under plan to pay
cost plus a percentage profit or on
fixed charge basis.
The total cost of The new arrange
mont is estimated by shipping board
officials as only small proportion of
the expense incurred in taking over
ships under constitution.

WRANGLES HALTING
PROGRESS IN HOUSE

Washington, d. c., Sept. 19.-Wran
gies between conferees on the war
tax bill today over second class mails,
excess profits and the fact that the
secret of the conferee3 has been fit
cring out halted progress so mater
ia'ly that a report to both houses
this week seemed doubtful.
Refusal of Senate cone to ap-
prove finally he tentative agreement
to accept a li?.' ted lone system on
gecond-class rates developed a sit
uation at adjournment tonight The
House members demand general
zone system while the Senate con
ferees insist that there shall be no
increase of more than a quarter of a
cent pound in the present one cent
rate.
The excess profits section received
little consideration during the day.
tee at the request of Senate leaders
| assailed both the Senate and House
proposals as unwork2h,e in their
present form and sugIested material
changes in them.
Suggested changes included Gre
alton of a board OF cdjusterS to see
that fair play is given all persons
| and corporations, end the authori-
cation of payments of the tax on an
installment plan.
The leak" feGture of the confer
ences is causing some of the confer
ees much worry and others an equal
amount of amusement. Resolutions
pledging secrecy have been strength
ened othat any conferee who gives
out information regarding the discus
sions now in subject to exclusion
from further conferences.
Publication of the fact that tenta
tive agreement had been reached to-
throw the motor car tax back on the
manufacturers, as originally proposed
| by the House, brought flood of per
sonal and Geographic protests to the
Capitol Hope was being held tonight
to motor manufacturers that nothing
definite had been done about the auto
mobile tax rate, although a majority
of the conferoes is understood to be
determined that the tax shall be as
sessed on the manufacturer and not
the purchasers.
