Disadvantages of the ordinary varie-
 ties of velvet beans, in that their vining. twning nature makes it practically im- possible to harvest the resultant forage as hay, are rectified in a new variety known as the bush" or "bunch" velvet bean. It is of erect, upright growth and arises from selection of the Alabama variety first developed on the farm of a Georgia planter. This farmer carefully lsayed the seed from the crop raised dur ing the 1915 season, which harvested 60 bushels, and he distributed 1t in his vicinity so that at present the variety has been established on large scale in that section of Georgia. It is note worthy that wherever the bush variety has been grown it ultimately has re- placed all other varieties of velvet beans. The United States Department of Agriculture is promoting its populari- Zation
 The individual plants average about feet in height, growing approximately as high as the ears on corn plants. The bean plants branch near the ground, most of the branches being short. Occa- sionally some are from to feet long, but show no inclination to twine over cornstalks. Ehe pods are all produced near the base of the plant, but, the stem is stiff enough to support the clusters so that few of them rest on the ground In appearance the pods and seeds are exactly like the Alabama and Georgia varieties the pods having the same a. bility to resist decay when they lie on the ground. The bush velvet bean ma lures in about the same period as the Alabama variety but the yield is a little lower.
 NONTWINING ADVANTAGE
 An outstanding feature which par ticularly appeals to farmers is that the plant does not twine on corn, and, therefore, does not tend to pull down the stalks. Hence, where it is grown in combination with corn for ensilage pur- poses it is much easier to handle the two crops than has been possible where the ordinary twining varieties of velvet beans have been grown in ombination

TRIAL CLAUSE IN TREATY
IRRITATES THE EX-KAISER
Remains Alone. Breeding, for
Hours After Reading Proposal
for His Arrangement.

AMERONGEN, June 30 Correspond
ence OF the Associated Press 1.-THE
former German emperor displayed
marked irritation after reading the
clause Of the peace treaty in which the
allies announced their intention of put
ting him on trial on charges of viola ton
of international morality and of the
sanctity of treaties. For several hours
after he had read the clause no one at
the castle of Anerongen had the cour-
age to approach him. He sat In chair
before the main entrance to the castle
entirely alone and apparently in deep
thought. while the former empress. Au-
guste Victoria. and the members of his
suite walked in the grounds, occasion
ally glancing in his direction.
Next day he seemed to be in state
OF nervous agitation, for he frequently
ceased his saving and walked away.

tinue the work alone. Later. however.
he resumed with increased energy, 50
much so that one Of his assistants was
forced to take to his bed for some days
in order to recover from d Chill caught
while perspiring at the other end of the
saw.
Subsequently the dull life at the cas-
tie resumed it's ordinary dullness. and
since the first display of annoyance
Count HohenZolern has shown few
signs of being much affected by the
conditions OF the peace treaty
The former emperor has sawn his
&C 0Oth log and ii is asserted by some
of his retainers that he intends 10 hrine
the number UP TO 10000. The logs,
which now form large heap. are placed
in piles to dry in preparation for use as
fuel in the castle next winter.

COFFEE SHORTAGE
HERE RAISES PRICE
Supply in U. S. Is Only 20 Per
Cent of Amount on Hand
a Year Ago.
MAY LAST FOR YEARS

Actual supplies of Brazilian coffee
in the United States at this time are
about 400, 900 bags. At this time last
year supplies in New York and New
Orleans totaled nearly 100000 bags.
These figures are given by the Latin
American division of the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce, De-
partment of Commerce. The fact
that coffee supplies actually in the
country at this time amount only to
about 20 per cent of the stocks on
hand a year ago is given by officials
of the bureau as one of the princi-
pal reasons for steadily rising retail
prices of coffee.
According to the bureaus most
recent figures the actual visible sup
ply of Brazilian coffee for the United
States is 1.425, 523 bags, as compared
with 2.339.5 55 bags a year ago. OF
this visible supply the greater portion
is afoat in transit officials say.

Condition Not Temporary.

Bad weather conditions during the
last two coffee-growing seasons. Off
Gals assert. damaged plantations to
such an extent that the effect is
bound to be felt for the next four or
five years at the least. Possibility ex-
lists that recovery of the trees or
quick maturity of new plantations
may operate to bring Brazils coffee
production up to normal ahead of ex-
pectations. but such a contingency is
not expected.
In the face of all these unfavorable
conditions, said an official of the bu-
reau of foreign and domestic com
merce today, steadily rising retail
prices of coffee in this country may
confidently be expected for some
years. Making all due allowances for
the point of view of men in the coffee
trade, there still remains ample
grounds for the belief that better
grades of coffee may go up to so cents
or 81 a pound within the next few
months"
