Washington, April e. James
King, night watchman for. the COM
mittee on public information, was
discovered this morning mysterious
ly murdered while on duty. 1t is
believed German spies committed the
crime. s~
The revolver that King carried
had been snapped four times but
each time failed to explode the cart
ridge, proving that he battled des-
perately wit his assailant.
The crime was apparently COM
mitted between 4:30 and $3.50 O'Clock
this morning. No trace of the MUIR
derer was found.
A hurried search failed to dis
close that the slayer had secured
anything of much value, which, King
guarded. It has also been learned
that King and a negro janitor quar-
relied frequently. and the negro is
net here.

HOW WAR HAS HURT HOLLAND
Conflict Has Had Marked Evil Effect
on Morals Of Citizens Of the
Little Country.

Holland, no doubt, had It's many
faults and shortcomings, but it GER
tainly never was a corrupt country,
either in administration, in politics or
In business, Matthuys P. Rooseboom
writes in Atlantic. This war has fos-
tered temptations and vices totally
new to the country. As conditions grow
worse profiteering, boarding, trying to
circumvent regulations, lack of respon-
sibility and of public feeling, selfish
ness, lust of undue profits all these
do increase.
Then there are the spies of all ma
tiOnalities having centers in our coun-
try, trying to bride our folk into rem
dering them services for high rewards.
Then there is the gradually growing
unemployment, with its curse Of idle
ness, making men prone to succumb
to the temptations of profitable snug
Cling. Then there are the many unde-
sirable foreign elements, the alarming
growth Of prostitution and it's inherent
evils, the increasing number of thefts,
burglaries and even murders.

The peanut is one Of the more Inn
portant crops grown in the South for
feeding to hogs, thousands Of acres
being grown for that purpose. Few,
IL any, crops will produce more pounds
Of pork on an acre Of land or produce
1t at lower cost per pound. A good
crop Of peanuts will produce at least
400 pounds Of pork per acre, and If
the hay is harvested before turning the
hogs into the patch it will practically
pay the cost of growing. In addition
to the profit on the pork, the crop
producing capacity Of the soil will be
materially increased, due to the addi-
ton Of humus and nitrogen. This is
very important, as much Of the land
in the peanut growing sections is de-
ficient in both. BY making successive
paintings Of peanuts at intervals of Is
to so days 1t is possible in most sec
lions Of the South to have peanuts
available for the hogs from mfdsum-
mer until the end Of November. In
pasturing hogs on peanuts it is best to
confine them to small areas by using
portable fences, rather than to let
them have the run Of the whole field.
Plant Between Corn Rows.
In some sections Of the Southern
states the peanut Is planted between
the rows Of corn, either at the time
the corn Is planted or at the last cul-
tivation. After the corn is harvested
cattle are turned in to eat the fodder
and peanut tops. Hogs are then turn
ed in to eat the peanuts. In this way
the stubble and roots Of the peanuts
supply humus, and most Of the nitro
gen stored in the nodules on the roots
is left In the soil.
Hogs fattened exclusively on peanuts
do not yield a very desirable grade OF
meat and lard, as the meat is soft and
the lard oily. This can be remedied
to large extent, however, by feeding
corn and other feeds along with the
peanuts.
In addition to growing peanuts to be
fed in the field, the crop can be cured
and stored in barns or sheds for win
ter feeding. The entire plant is very
valuable feed for nearly oil classes Of
live stock. Peanut hay, consisting Of
the entire plant after the nuts are re
moved, has a much higher feeding
value than the grass hays and about
the same value as clover nay. The
average yield Of peanut hay is about
two-thirds Of ton per acre. Witt
100000 acres Of peanuts, the est
mated acreage for 1917, there would
be produced about 1888, 600 tons o.
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1918-09-19

peanut hay with a value Of at least
$4,000, 600.
The peanut is especially valuable as
crop to be grown for feed in the
drier sections Of the Southwest, where
it is impossible to grow corn to advan-
tage. Peanuts will Withstand drought
better than most farm crops. In some
regions where corn will not produce.
five bushels per acre. peanuts have
proved very satisfactory. The crop is
of value also on land carrying consid-
cradle percentage Of alkali.
Peanut meal, a by-product from pea
nut oil manufacture, is highly con-
centrated feed. The meal made from
shelled nuts contains about 45 per cent
protein, 6 to 8 per cent fat, and %
to "a per cent carbohydrates. Meal
made from the unshelled nuts contains
about 80 per cent protein, to 8 per
cent fat, and q to % per cent carbo-
hydrates. The meal from shelled nuts
has about the same feeding value as
cottonseed meal and can be used for
the same purpose. With the short.
age Of feeds high in protein the de-
mand for peanut meal at a good price
will probably exceed the supply. It
is especially valuable for dairy cattle
and hogs and has been used to furnish
a large percentage Of the protein In
a home-mixed horse feed. In fact,
one large farmer has been using pea
nut meal for several years for feeding
work horses and claims that 1t Is the
cheapest protein feed he has ever used.
1t can be used in quite large guam
tity In connection with other feeds
without injurious effects. When fed
to hogs peanut meal does not produce
soft pork, and for this reason 1t Is
preferable to raw peanuts.
Shells for Feed.
Peanut shells, which accumulate In
large quantities at cleaning and she'll
| ing factories, are sometimes ground
with low-grade peanuts and sold for
feed. The shells, however, have prac-
ticallysno feeding value, as they CON
sist largely Of crude fiber.
All peanut feeds should be sold on
the basis of their protein, fat, and car
bohydrate content rather than on the
ton basis. For example, $50 pounds
Of meal made from shelled peanuts has
practically the same feeding value as
1850 pounds Of meal made from I'M
shelled nuts. These amounts represent
the meal left as by-product from pea
nut oil manufactured from a ton OF
farmers stock Spanish peanuts. Deal.
ers selling peanut meal should show
on the label whether it is made from
shelled or unshelled nuts in fact, this
Is required by law in some states.

that the struggle will be long

1t is vain to ask how long the
war will last, for such ques-

when we go to guessing ourself-

best and so to take some chance
in effort or sacrifice. All that
we know is that we must win.

SOUTHERN COLORADO
BAPTIST ASSOCIATION
Annual Meeting Held in Lamar This
Week With Large Attendance
and Fine Program.

The annual session of the Southern
Colorado Baptist Association was held
in Lamar this week beginning on Tues
day evening, at the First Baptist
church. There was fine attendance
and very interesting programs through

the election of officers for the ensuing
year was held and Rev. w. f. Ripley
of Trinidad was elected moderator;
Rev. C. NJ. Benight of Pueblo, assist
ant moderator; and Geo. A. Everett,
who has so faithfully served as clerk
and treasurer for twelve years, was re-

foreign missions. Rev. Cassidy's son
is one of the specially decorated war
heroes now engaged in smashing the
Huns over there. Rev. b. f. Palmer,
of Denver, secretary of state missions
for Colorado, and Rev. j. II. Davis of
Denver, pastor at large, were also
speakers. Rev. w. A. Simmonds of
Las Animas delivered fine sermon
on Monday evening at the church be-

and on Wednesday morning a very
eloquent and instructive sermon was
delivered by Rev. F. f. Eden of
