Kline Tells Methods
Of Planting Soy Beans
BY J. c. KLINE
County Agricultural Agent

BY J. g. KLINE
County Agricultural Agent
A number Of men in the county are
planning. on sowing soy beans with
corn this year Some have never had
any experience with this crop. 1t is
absolutely necessary that this crop be
handled in the proper way to secure
the best results.
One thing that Is essential on the
average farm Is the incubation OF the
seed before planting. Soy beans are
somewhat similar to alfalfa in this
respect. The bacteria that cause the
small nodules to form on the roots are
not present In the average soil. II Is
therefore necessary that soil from an
old soy bean field containing these
bacteria be applied to the seed.
The inoculating soil should be mixed
with the beans before planting. BY
springling the beans very lightly the
soil may be si::ed over them and then
stirred up thoroughly. In sprinkling
one should be careful not to get the
beans too wet or the skins will slip
off. II the beans are planted through
the fertilizer attachment, The inoculat
ing soil may make a part OF the total
soil used
some prefer to use glue solutlOn,
one tablespoonful of ordinary glue to
one pint of water. Dissolve and
sprinkle the beans and stir. then sift
the dry soil over and mix thoroughly,
spread out and dry in the shade.
Three methods of planting may be
followed:
"a BY obtaining an extra attach
ment for the planter, the beans may
be dropped the same time the corn is
planted. In this case set the planter
to drop as near three beans to each
foot as possible.
CD The beans may be mixed with
sail and both planted through the fer
tilizer attachment Of the planter. II
the planter is set to sow Is pounds Of
fertilizer to the acre, mix 10 pounds
of beans with IS pounds OF dry dirt.
The mixing should be done thoroughly
SO that the stand will be uniform.
go The corn may be planted first;
then beans may be put in planter box
ard planted by going over the row a
second time. The ordinary corn plant
er plates may be used If properly
selected and rightly adjusted.

VATICAN DENIES
MOVE FOR PEACE
ON WH|TSUNDAY
Statement Says Time Is Not
Propitious for Pope to
Act.
lRx Associated Press.D

ROME, May 4.--Delayed.-Nof favor
able occasion for a further peace move
by Pope Benedict has presented itself,
nor does one seem near, 1t was stated
at the vatican today when inquiry was
made there regarding the report that
his holiness would make a new peace
offer on Whitsunday.
1T is no secret" replied the vatican
authorities, whom the correspondent
inquired regarding the report, that
the pope, since the beginning of his
potificate. has interested himself re-
garding three great issues concerning
the war. These are:
Works for Humanity.
First, to maintain absolute i'm
partially: second, to limit as much as
possible the extent of the conflict and
Its horrors; third, to work in every
way on every propitious occasion, to
restore concord and brotherhood
among the peoples.
Given this program, it is only
natural that should propitious occa-
sion arise the pope would do his best
to carry 1t out.
1T Is an easy task to prophesy from
time to time, within a few weeks or
months, some new action on the part
Of the pope which may occur at any
monument. IL favorable occasion
arises, which, however, has not yet
occurred. nor does it seem near"

From German Source.

The original report of the imminence
of new papal peace move came from
a German source in the shape Of an
article in the Neueste Nachrichten OF
Munich late in April. This newspaper
was quoted in Amsterdam dispatches
as stating that the move would be
made las soon as the western often
sive assumed new phase" and that
1t would take the form Of "a word Of
warning addressed to the universal
conscience"
Cologne newspapers have later been
quoted as declaring the pope intended
to make new peace offer on Whit
sunday MAY 1877 the document 10
contain concrete offers of mediation
by the pope. 1t was said. with the pos
sible cooperation of neutral sover-
eigns. Berlin was reported to have re.

THRIFT STAMPS.

Every month, every day, every hour
now is consecrated to some purpose
intended to further our progress In
the war.
But the chief feature of interest for
the present month is the drive to
secure more investments in thrift
and war savings stamps.
Americas has rallied splendidly to
the Army Y M. C. A, Red Cross, and
the first, second and third Liberty
Loans. This city has also done well
by the thrift stamps, thanks largely
to the activities of the school children.
Now an appeal is being made to the
older folks, to every American, to
purchase few. thrift stamps-to lend
money to the government, at a good
rate of interest, for limited period.
The campaign for this county is be-
ing organized, and every citizen should
respond.
An excellent way is to do without
some luxury and to invest the money
usually spent on frivolities in a gov
eminent loan.

PAY PROMPTLY-AT ONCE.

It should not be necessary for the
Chamber of Commerce to appeal to
OTIS members to pay their dues.
This is an organization whose ac-
tive support is one Of the imperative
duties of the people of Americas.
Without the Chamber of Commerce
this city could never have secured the
aviation camp, without this institution,
the city would be at a tremendous
disadvantage.
Yet there are many members sad
ly delinquent in their dues, and it has
become necessary for a committee to
solicit payment of past due obliga-
tons.
Every member of the Chamber of
Commerce should feel it duty, rest
ing heavily upon him, to settle his
accounts with this splendid organiza-
ton at once and in full.

THE DIVORCE SCANDAL.

The Savannah Press protests against
the rapid-fire divorce proceedings,
which were feature of the sessions
of the Superior court for Chatham
county this week. AS fast as juries
could sign the verdicts, divorces were
granted, action in some of them TAX
ing hardly more than two or three
minutes. However, this is only typical
of what happens constantly in Geor-
gia courts, which are entirely too
prone to grant divorces. Both judges
and juries are generally lax in their
application of the processes for sep
arating couples, and one provision of
the law, requiring the presence and
attention of the solicitor general in
undefended divorce cases, is nearly al
ways ignored.
Yet, England, where divorces have
been comparatively difficult to obtain,
is changing it's system in the hope of
making them still more difficult Flu
ture divorce proceedings there will
take place within the pure light of
publicity. There will be no more clos
ed doors, no more secret sessions, and
custom which has been in effect
for a century or more will now be
abandoned, if recent decision of the
lord chancellor may be accepted as an
indication.
1t would, perhaps, be unwise
predict that open divorce courts will
tend to reduce the number of divorces,
because here in America, with the ex-
ception of a few states, all kinds of
publicity is attached to the granting
of divorces, and yet the number in
creases each year.
Every court of justice in the land
Is open to every subject of the king,
and court has no power to sit other
wise than with open DOORS" declared
the lord chancellor, and his interpre-
tation of this phase of the law was
sustained by the house of lords.
The point was raised on an appeal
from a sentence in a contempt case
upon a woman who, having been the
victorious defendant in a secret di-
vorce session, told her friends and
neighbors of her vindieation. 1t was
held that she had no right to so pub
lish the proceedings of the hearing,
but she appealed and her contention
has been upheld
1t is, of course, the theory of the
law in every land that it shall be adj
ministered in the open, and the aboli-
ton of star chamber sessions in En-
gland will be nothing more than the
restoration of a natural and normal
function of the courts.
1t is possible that in England,
where there is greater respect for the
courts than there is in this country
this Inauguration will have beneficial
results. But So far in Georgia and
elsewhere in the United States the
light of day, however bright it may
Shine on divorce court operations, has
not had the effect of retard;ng vne
grind cf the divorce mill.

THE TRAVELLING SALESMAN.

Inc travelling statesmen OF LHls
country can render a service to the
nation comparable to the work of the
armies in the field, to the producers
of food, and to the makers of NUM-
tons While the farmers are grow
ing foodstuffs and the munition max
ers are producing the things needed
for the battlefield the travelling sales
men can be creating throughout the
country spirit of militant patriotism
which will mean enlarged food pro-
duction, enlarged output of munitions,
the building of more ships, increased
coal output, and the larger sale of
Liberty bonds, and still bigger sub
scriptions to the work Of the Red
Cross.
All of these things, says the Manu-
facturers Record, are within the power
of the travelling statesmen. They
reach the entire business element of
the country, from the great merchant
in the big city to the smallest country
store at the crossroads village They
mingle with all the travelling people
of the country in the smoking-car.
They know everybody, or practically
everybody, who does business in the
territory in which they travel. The
country storekeeper, the town mer-
chant and the city man ask of the
travelling man constantly, What is the
news?" In olden times the question
was often asked with the hope of hear
ing a new joke; but the time when
the salesman made his success
based on his ability to tell jokes and
stories has long since passed away;
and the travelling men of today are
men of intelligence, men who know
the country, and men who sell goods
on merit and not on jokes.
AS these men go over the land from
one end to the other they have a
power for quickening the patriotism
of the nation which has not yet been
put into full effect. No travelling
salesman should ever go on the road
without being supplied with litera-
ture about the war, with facts as to
the meaning Of the war the tremen-
dous Importance of every man and
woman in the country uniting to win
the war. No crossroads storekeeper
or country merchant, or city merchant
for that matter, should ever be visited
without utilizing the opportunity to
discuss the one supreme issue before
the world-the issue of saving civiliza-
ton and saving ourselves.
If the travelling men of the nation
will thoroughly inform themselves on
all these questions they can carry to
the people of the country a message
which will spread from the store
keeper to the homes of every commun-
ity and far back into the country dis
tricts among farmers, mechanics and
day laborers. The power for good in
this respect which is within the GRASP
|, of the travelling man is so great that
unless utilized to is fullest extent
they would, as class, fail to measure
up to their opportunity.
