About a More Tolerant Atti-

ways" said Dean J. ]. Quinn in his
address of welcome to the dele
gates from the various councils of
the Knights of Columbus attending
the state convention assembled in
St. JOseph's church this morning
for solemn high mass.
We are fighting today to save
what Christ brought to u.s." he con-
tinued. 1t was He who brought
the message of democracy to the
world. The war is purely kultur
against democracy. Nations have
been drawn further and further
away from Christianity. God is
merely chastising these until a
newer and finer world is devel-
oped."
Previous to his discussion of the
war. the dean paid tribute to the
knights of Columbus organization
He told how the knights had made
it possible to tear down the wall of
prejudice that had been built up
against the Catholic church He
not only spoke of the organization
as a whole, but mentioned individ-
ual councils that had done much to
bring about a broad and more toll

SOY BEANS VALUABLE
HOW TO PLANT

BY Harry F. Knapp. Extension Division,
University OF Arkansas.
In the present food crisis our peo-
pie should plant soy beans" says Har
~ F kapp. because they are a food,
forage and grain crop. The soy bean
should be drilled in rows about 30
inches to feet apart, and the plant
In the drill The soy bean is easily
cultivated and should receive the same
attention as corn crop in the matter
OF cultivation The variety generally
used is the Mammoth Yellow. though
there are several other varieties tha.
have given splendid results. Before
the soy bean natures il is an excel
lent table food and the dry beans
while requiring a long time for cook
ing are also an excellent food but
the chief value OF the soy bean lies
in its forage and grain production
This crop will produce more on poor
land than probably any other crop
and is very drought resistant Tho
amount OF beans produced per acre
with a good stand and fair cultivation
may range between 10 and 40 bushels
per acre. II cut somewhat green.
when the leaves begin TO turn yellow.
il makes a most excellent hay Stock
Of all kinds eat il very readily and Il
has a very high feeding value The
bean furnishes an excellent grain ra.
ton while the stalk furnishes the
roughage Ii allowed to mature in the
field the beans will drop off and lie IN
the ground without rotting and in this
way hogs may be fattened very read
lily. If intended for seed crop. care
must he taken In the harvesting.
When the pods are mature. they burst
open very readily and scatter the
beans in all directions. If wanted for
hay crop, they should be cut when
the pods are about half mature and
handled like cowpeas. One value OF
the soy bean lies in the fact that i,
is also a nitrogen gathering plant. II
will probably produce more feed on
any given soil than any other cror.
that can be planted and is ready eat.

obtain the seed should have a smaa
