WORLD CRISIS REACHED
Lansing Paints Vivid Picture Of
War Zone Condition.
Declares Allies Must Feed Germany ~
Danger of Anarchism Is TO Be
Avoided.

Paris, March 13.-"We have reached
said Secretary of State Robert Lansing
at banquet given by the Inter-Allied
Press club in honor of the American
Peace commissioners.
Mr.. Lansing was emphatic in his
statement that the Allies must feed
Germany and give the Germans oppor-
tunity to sell their products in the
foreign markets il the danger of Boil
shevism was to be avoided. He painted
a vivid picture of conditions in the
war zone of France and pointed out
that it was not through pity for Ger
many, but to the Allies own advantage
to see that anarchy was prevented in
the former German empire. Mr. Lans-
ing said:
Must Act at Once.
II say to you men of France, and
men of America, and to you, men Of
the Allied Powers, that there is no
time to be lost IL we are to save the
world from the despotism of anarchy,
even as we have savel it from the
despotism of autocracy. We ought to
make, we must make, peace without
delay, and ships laden with food must
enter the harbors Of Germany. We
have reached a crisis in the affairs of
the world. We must meet it without
passion and without permitting our
judgment to be warped by natural
and Unavoidable desire for vengeance
on a nation which has committed such
atrocities as those the Germans have
committed.
There cannot be any doubt in the
minds OF thinking men as to the dan
ger that faces the nations. We are
victorious, and yet victory on the bat
tlefield is not all. We must use our
victory wisely or we will lose even
more than we have gained. IT is not a
spirit of generosity which demands
peace and which cries out that the Ger
mans must be fed. 1t is common
sense that demands it and that points
out the perils before us II we do not
listen to the voice Of reason"

ate With Open Doors, Declares
Senator-Bryan Lauds Idea of
League of Nations.

Washington, March Undetermined
to get an unmistakable expression of
American public sentiment on the
League of Nations, Senator w. Z. Bo-
rah of Idaho announces that a bill for
a nationwide popular referendum on
the proposed covenant would be draft
ed for introduction Immediately upon
the reconvening of congress.
The senator expressed the view
that advocates of the League of Ma
tions would not dare oppose the bill.
He pointed out that the people have
not thus far been permitted to vote on
the question of a League of Nations.
III the advocates of the league were
to oppose the proposed plebiscite, he
declared, they would be placed in the
position of fearing to submit the league
to a decision of the people.
Senate Ready for Open Covenants.
Senator Borah also gave it as his
opinion that the senate stands ready
to abandon the traditional policy of
considering treaties in secret session

sible to separate them.
Bryan Urges Amendment.
William Jennings Bryan issued a
statement indorsing the the League of

Better farming IN the South may fol-
low In the wake Of the boll-weevil.
Adoption of 1ong-talked-of systems Of
diversified farming, stock-reising and
soil-building may be forced upon the
farmers of the cotton belt as a result
of the incursion Of this voracious and
implacable enemy OF King Cotton.
And with these changes and improve,
ments, and the consequent eradication
OF this destructive pest, cotton may
again be enthroned under conditions
which viii insure q more prosperous
reign. II s"l" -" g - -
Tho Value Of Psanues.
The boll-weevil is expected to be In
full force next year in the best cotton
growing sections Of Georgia and the
Caroiinas. and the forehanded farmer
may profit by engaging In peanut cal-
'ture on an extensive scale. "a
DR.. w. w. Long, Director OF Exten-
sion, Clemson Agricultural College of
South Carolina, says: "The value of
the peanut, both as money crop and
Tor feeding on the farm, renders 1t es-
pecially desirable as part Of the ro-
tation wherever conditions suitable to
its development exist"
And such conditions are found in
many sections of the southeast, and
are especially favorable in the coastal
plains regions OF North and south
Carolina.
In some parts of the South peanuts
have already supplanted cotton on
many farms heretofore devoted almost
exclusively to the growing of that sta
pie. It is shown by recent reports from
the boll-weevil territory of Georgia
that the peanut is one Of the most
profitable crops that can be grown in
the place Of cotton.
Prof. II. c. Thompson, U. S. Bureau
of Plant Industry, says: peanut grow
Ing is desirable in the cropping sys-
tenn In some parts of the cotton belt
The commercial value Of the crop in
creased from $7,27O,515, in 1890 to
$18,271 ,929 in 1900, and the increas Sc
since 1909 has been even greater than

The Peanut as Nitrogen Gatherer.

other legumes, has the power Of col

Prof. Thompson. For this reason the
peanut is Il very desirable soil improv-
ing plant. 1t should be borne in mind
however. that In order to benefit the
soil the main portion OF the roots
should be left in the ground. The

Market For Peanuts.
Most farmers have q fair idea Of
the market for peanuts for roasting
and Tor the manufacture of various
products. such as salted peanuts pea
nut candy, peanut butter, ETC., but less
is known concerning the Importance of
this product in the manufacture of
vegetable oils. With the coming short
age of cotton seed from which to make
oil, and with an increase In demand,
there seems to be great field for the
I'm fr,
In addition, the peanut yields a yalu-
able hay crop, and when peanuts are
harvested for market hogs may be
turned into the field to CLEAN whatever
Is left after digging.
1t Is said that many growers fatten
two hogs on each acre of peanuts SO
harvested. "Few if any crops will
produce more pounds Of pork on an
acre Of land or produce it at a lower
cost per acre than peanuts" says q
writer on this subject, -"and in addi.
tion to the profit on pork, the crop
producing capacity Of the soil will be
materially increased"
The Outlook.
The farmer who knows how to raise
haphazard farmer cam never realize
much profit on any crop. There is
much to be learned as to prepa ration
Of soils, planting, cultivating anG har

tions, will furnish the necessary In.

states Is short this year and growers

Is thought that the higher grades viii
reach 12h cents to ID cents q pount
by Christmas and peanut off has af

good profit for the farmer, and as
there is no danger Of flooding the mar
ket, growers may look for large re-
turns next year.
