PLANT SOY BEANS

Clemson College, Apri-The soy
bean is one Of u greatest legume
crops and has not been given as
much space in our South Carolina
fields as it deserves thinks Prof. G..
P. Blackwell, agronomist. This is
an exceptionally good year to give
it a trial. 1t has a wide range OF
Uses and is a safe crop to plant. If
it cannot be sold for a good price at
harvest time it may be turned under
to enrich the land, thus saving on
the fertilizer bill for the next year.
It may be grown for seed and the
seed sold for oil or fed to livestock.
It may be grown for hay and will
make a large yield Of a very fine
quality of hay.
1t may be grown as a pasture crop
and makes a splendid pasture for
hogs.
It may be grown as a soiling crop
and fed green.
1t may be grown as a soil i'm
proving crop and will add a large
amount Of nitrogen to the soil. A
good crop will add more than 100
pounds of nitrogen to the soil when
the whole crop It turned under.
That is as much nitrogen as we
would get from about 600 pounds of
nitrate Of soda.
The soy bean may be grown on
any soils where corn grows well.
It grows best on a mellow fertile
sandy loan or clay loan. It will
not do as we'll on a very poor soil
as will the cowpea or velvet bean.
The land should be prepared in
very much the same way as for cot
ton except that the rows should be
much closer together. If the crop
has never been grown on the land
before incubation is advisable.
It may be planted any time after
the soil is warm in the spring up to
July IL. It succeeds well after oats
or wheat. Being a legume, it re.
quires little or no nitrogen, and in
the Piedmont section of the state
no potash is necessary leaving acid
phosphate as the principal fertilize,
required.

Novel Solution,

A lot of mystery still clIngs to the
Chinese in New York, despite metro
politan influences. Often the whole
personnel Of a Chinese restaurant or
laundry will change overnight and
you can't find out why OF where the
others vanished to. It may be they
gamble for them.
Not long ago a man who had been
patronizing a Chinese laundry so long
they didn't give him a check for his
wash called for hissshirts and collars
and found n Of those strange over
night changes had taken place. No
one knew him, and his check was de-
manded. He raved and argued In that
pxasperatingly futile way so well
known to one who has tried to tab
to q Chinaman.
Finally he had an inspiration, took
off his collar and showed the China
man the laundry mark in their OWL
hieroglyphics. He got his bundle.

CITY WAITS TO BE CLOTHED
Jerusalem Far From Being Restored
to the Glory That Has Been
Promised Her.

The view OF Jerusalem as one leaves
the Garden of Gethsemane draws the
heart with sympathy. The walls rise
severely above bare slopes where
nothing grows, for it is outside OF the
city proper that Biblical prophecies Of
the desolation Of Jerusalem seem to
be fulfilled.
Today the city stands midway be-
tween the horrors Of the Turkish
regime and the promised good Of the
British mandatory rule. Nothing has
been done as yet in a public way to
beautify the city. North and west the
houses straggle outside the walls; on
the south forbidding slopes border the
road to Bethlehem, and on the east
lies the terrible Valley Of Jehosha.

DIAL INTRODUCES
COTTON MEASURE

Washington, April Ex-senator
Dial of South Carolina has again
introduced a proposed amendment
to the cotton futures act which
would have tendency to break the
strangle hold which, he charges the
cotton exchanges have on the cotton
producers.
1t appears to be the concensus of
opinion that the Dial amendment
will have a better opportunity at
passage than the amendment Of for
|mer Senator Cromer Of Alabama.
The amendment Of the former sena-
tor passed the senate, but failed in
the house as result Of the activity of
representatives, of cotton states
which produce only low grade cot
ton. 1t was their contention that the
Conner amendment would have eli
minaed a market for their product.
Senator Dial declares that his
amendment would nov only elm
mate a market, but would probably
create a market. Under his scheme,
any purchaser from a cotton ex-
change could demand one-haf Of his
purchase in any two Of the ten legal
grades, and the cotton exchange
could deliver the remaining half in
any two Of the ten legal grades.
"Both sides to the transaction"
said Senator Dial, "have ar even
break. Under the law as it is to-
dy, a cotton exchange has the power
to deliver a quantity Of purchased
cotton in either one Of the ten
grades it desires. The man who buys
has absolutely no chance. On the
face of things, that Is not fair. It is
not right. Such a scheme would
not hold good if applied to any ar
ticles or goods purchased. If the
producer of potatoes was legally au-
thorized to dispose Of his potatoes
without consulting the purchaser,
very naturally the purchaser would
receive only low grade potatoes.
And if the purchaser had the entire
option, the producer of course could
sell only his very excellent potatoes.
"The same natural laws apply to
cotton transactions. Therefore nei-
Their the seller nor the buyer should
have the sole right of option. 1t is
that evil which I am attempting to
eradicate. I am not trying to put
the cotton exchanges out of business
I am not trying to reduce the ten
grades now tenderable under law on
cotton exchanges. I am simply try
ing to secure a fair deal for the
man who buys cotton from ex-
changes.
"TO get such a fair deal is in my
opinion, the most important issue
facing the South today. It is my
conviction that the system as it pre-
walls at present costs the South mil
lions of dollars per annum.

ADVERTISERS TO
MEET IN ATLANTA
49, JUNE 18TH TO 1e

Atlanta, Ga, April 1s.-Prosperi-
ty, based upon the great business
fundamentals of Industry and Int
grity-that is the chief theme of\the
great world advertising convention
to be held here, June IL to 16.
This will be an event noteworthy
in Atlanta's history, for business
men and women-foremost in their
respective interests-will come here
from all parts of the world to reap
the benefits Of this great educational
meeting, and to enjoy the hospitality
of our city.
In carrying forward the theme of
the convention program, Irwin F.
Paschall, who has the program in
charge, will see to it that there is an
abundant by-product of brass tack,
business building. information, which
delegates may take home and turn
back into bigger profits and better
business. r.
For example, there will again be a
practical merchandising conference
for the retailer, open to all register
ed delegates. This conference will
benefit not only the retailer and his
statesmen but also the newspaper ad-
vertising man, whose duty it is to
help the retailer who Isl his adj
vertising space, as well as various
other buyers and sellers of advertis-
ing space whose prosperity depends
upon the ability of the retailer to
distribute goods economically.
In like manner, there will be def
mite helps for the financial advertis-
en-, newspaper man, poster advertis-
ing man, export advertiser-in fact
for those interested in every side
and every phrase of advertising, for
these aworld advertising conventions
have n underlying motive-they
are educational.
1t is not common to hear a man
who has attended conventions of the
Associated Advertising Clubs say
that idea he gained have made, or
have saved him or his firm, thou
sands of dollars.
Running through every general
and department session, there will
be a strong plea for truthful adver-
Using, for a frmer grasp upon the
fundamental principles of Business
Morality-and compelling evidence
will be given of the power of truth
and the square deal to build perma-
nent prosperity.
One striking feature of the At
lanta meeting will be the great ex-
hibit of American and foreign ad-
vertising, under the direction Of
Charles H. Macintosh, Of Chicago.
This exhibit will include a number
of notable advertising campaigns
which will be explained by the men
who planned them. 1t will also show
representative displays from Eng
land, France, Germany, Holland,
China, Japan, Australia and South
America. This will not be an ex-
hibit designed to sell advertising
the seller will be forgotten and the
evhihit will he educetiona1 and

Resuscitation OF the textile industry is
traceable directly to the drop In the

tile outlook was extremely bad owing to
the absence OF buyers. To-day the re-
tail sales have not particularly Increased

but are buying heavily in anticipation
OF future demand and rise In prices.
A textile manufacturer told THE New
York HERALD correspondent here that
when the textile demand began the
manufacturers delayed making pur-
chases of cotton. hoping for a drop in
cotton prices. although the price has
since doubled. But now the marufac-
turers are scrambing to buy at Bremen,
fearing failure Of the present American
crop. and 1t has become necessary to
cover future obligations.
Many OF the manufacturers ar
nounce that they have orders until next
summer. Some are even refusing to
take further contracts. But the amount
of outside business has not noticeably
increased. The textile manufacturer re-
ferred to said that about 80 per cent.

The Paris Bourse may be described
to-day as passing through one OF Ito
constantly recurring crises Of specula-
tion. In which local as well as foreign
gpscuiators are taking advantage of the
worlds political and economic differ
ences. In exchange alone last week 1t
was reported that the French specula-
tors gained considerable fortunes by act
ing on Indications received from New
York after the closing OF the Paris
Bourse.
Naturally this speculative tendency
IS having a SOLDERING effect on other
transactions, with an expected reper-
cussion on International and Industrial
securities already becoming definitely
marked and likely to be strengthened
by the fact that the whole OF Europe
IS involved in an intricate series of prob
