CLOVER THE KEY
CROP IN ROTATION

From the Atlantic to Iowa ami
from Tennessee to Canada clover il
the key crop in rotations, but there
is gradual tho steady decline in
the culture of red clover in this
area. Specialists in the Bureau Of
Plant Industry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, are SER
iously concerned over this decline
and urges all farmers to get back 10
clover.
Less planting of clover has injur.
iously affected the productiveness Of
the region and is likely to affect it
still more injuriously il something
is not done either to increase the
acreage of clover or to find a sub
stitute.
Whether farmer adopts a
three, four or five year rotation, |"
the specialists declare, "he is sure TO
find that his yields will decline If ne
does not have clover somewhere in
the rotation. Theoretically, of course
It is possible to substitute another
crop for clover, but prac-
tically clover fits so well into the
agricultural practices of this section
that 1t is the only leguminous crop
having any large degree OF influence
upon keeping up the productivity Of
the SOIL"

Proof That Quality Counts.

Bischoff, the great Russian scientist
and naturalist, once said ''women are
inferior to men because their brains
are smaller and lighter" But when
that man died his brain was weighed
and found to be lighter than the aver
age woman's. SO II is not weight or
size or sex, but quality, that makes
superiority, as the presumDtuous Bis

By Associated Press

Monte Sano, Wash, March S.-Six witnesses, called today by the defense counsel in the trial of the ten Indus trial Workers of the World on a charge of murder in connection with the Armistice Day shooting at Cen tralia, Wash, in an effort to prove a conspiracy to chase the I. w. w. from Centralia, were not permitted to tes- tify. The court ruled before such evil dence would be admissible the defense must prove Warren O. Grimm, with whose murder the defendants are specifically charged. was a party to the alleged conspiracy, this. the court holding, had not been established.
 q. F. Vanderveer of counsel for the defense was permitted, however, in absence of the jury, to state for the record that he expected to prove by the witnesses that at a meeting of Centralia business men held october 20, last, plans to drive the I. W. w. out of Centralia were discussed. He said also he expected to prove that con templated raid on the I. w. W. hall was discussed a { other meetings
 In sustaining the objection of prose. cution counsel, Judge Wilson said he was of the opinion that the evidence falls far short of being sufficient to show an overt act on the part of the deceased (Grimm1 n

 ment of Russia and seeks to introduce
 similar regime in the United States. That the Socialist assemblymen per sonally opposed prosecution of the war and gave aid and comfort to the en- emy.
 Mir. Hillquit argued each of the first
 seven charges at length, saving Sey-
 mour Stedman. his colleague, would reply
 to the last.
 Briefly, his answers were: That the Socialist party was revolu-
 tionary and that socialists are revolution
 ists in the sense that they favor a pro-
 gramne that will take the industrial sys- tenn out of the hands of private individ-
 uals. out of the chaos of competition that rules and ruins at the same time, and turn it over to the people to organize 1t
 properly.
 That socialism has come to build and not to destroy, and that Socialists dis tinguish between mass action and in- dividual action; that political action is
 miss action, and that the mass acton the
 Socialist party has in cview is the legal, organized action of large masses in the community.
 That the mere fact that the five So- cialist assemblymen came to Albany seek ing office is absolutely and uncontrovert- | ible truth of the tact that the Socialist party Is political party. l That the SOclal1St party dld US sdCTeu | duty to protest against the war, to oppose | 1t with every fiber of it's existence. inas- much as the Socialist party did not believe democracy would be assured as l the result of the war. 1 That the Socialist party has g. right to i tell candidates elected on the Socialist platform to get out of the party should | they turn tunrue to platform pledges and promises.
 | That the Socialist party Is not an anti national party and that if socialism is in l ternational,N so is capitalism, banking, commerce, industry, science. art and modern life.
 | That the Socialist party does not ap- prove of the Soviet government of Russia | and does not seek to introduce a soviet ! form of government n@the United States although sympathizing with the Russian | Socialists in tine maintenance of theif
 Soviet government.

tention of his auditors the situation which now exists in the foreign field.
 MT. Markham called especial attention to the danger which threatens Christian enterprise in Asia, Africa and the islands Of the Pacific through Moslem aggres- sion. The Moslems, he stated, are put ting on an intensive campaign of propa- ganda covering northern Africa, India and the east, and are gaining grounS much more rapidly than are the Chris tians. The entire northern portion oi Africa, numbering S0,000000 souls, at one time was dotted with Christian communi- ties with their own bishops and ecclesias- tical organization. Most of these have disappeared in the acvance of the Mo ! Ilhammedans, and there are no mission stations to oppose them.
 f DARK CONTINENT
 Iz As an illustration Of the great need , for mission effort in the dark continent, ahe speaker pointed out that there were only 126 hospitals and dispensaries in the continent to serve the suffering poptfla- tion. In the entire island of Abbysirf1a, only one station exists. while in the tre- mendous area of Portuguese East Africa, with its millions of souls, but three sta tions are maintaining a foothold.
 After slides had been shown revealing the situation in Latin-America, pr. s. A. Neblett, now of the southern Methodist mission board, but who has been for yearsaa missionary in Cuba and Mexico, gave vivid account of the present state of the work to the south of us. He stressed the condition which had recently been forced upon Cuba by the invasion of sAmerican distillers and the long train of sporting men who have followed in their train.
 "Who is going to win Cuba?'' he asked, 'sthe American distillers whom we have kicked off the earth, the race track gambler or the Christian church?" He also made strong plea for the ut- most effort on the part of the church in Mexico declaring that the solution of that nations many difficulties lay in the rreaching of the gospel and the enlighe- enment of Christian education.
 KOREA'S SITUATION
 Korea's situation was revealed by R. A. Hardy of the Methodist mission staff. After sketching the history of missions in that country, and the troubled period through which it had to pass after Jap anese occupation he presented the pres eut evils which have been introduced by the new recommendations, opium and legalized vice, all under the patronage of the Japanese. He stated. however, that he believed that Korea would soon be ac- corded it's rights and given its just rep resentation in the Japanese Diet, and that harmonious settlement would be reached without the revolution which recently impended.
 The case for Japan was made by Dr. S F. Hagar, for many years a mission ary in kobo In spite of the fact that the Christian church has been in Jal@n for the past thirty-fve years, only 15 per cent of the native population has been reached with the gospel, according to the speaker.
