KENTUCKY
LEAF CROP
Takes Off Fertility
Worth Six Millions
Annual Tobacco Crop OF 500. o00. 900
Pounds 10 Heavy Drain On Soils
Careful Use Of Stalks
Necessary.

Lexington, KY Approximately
SO. 900 900 worth Of plant food is
removed from Kentucky farms when
the 500. 900 900 pounds Of tobacco,
which the State produces as an aver
age annual crop, is placed on the
market, according to X. T.. Stephen
son. specialist at the College Of Agri-
culture. This is probably one reason
for the exhausted soils and low aver
age crop yields in many sections Of
the State. Further destruction Of
the States soil fertility without con-
siderable expense for commercial
fertilizers can be prevented largely
by careful use Of the tobacco stalks
which should be scattered over the
fields. the specialist declares.
THE average yield Of tobacco in
Kentucky, which is about 500 pounds
an acre. contains 500 worth Of nit
rogen, $3.20 worth Of potassium and
abut 25 cents worth Of phosphorus.
The marketable leaf. thereof, re-
moves nearly $40 worth Of plant
food from each acre Of soil. From
four to five tons Of farm manure
would be required to replace the
plant food removed from an acre Of
soil by an average tobacco crop.
More than this amount would be re-
quired II the stalks were not return
ed.
In many eases, the average far
mer either fails to spread the stalks
on the fields or they are spread too
thickly with the result that there Is
much waste Of plant food. partieu-
larly nitrogen. In order TO get the
most from them. they should be used
at the rate Of not more than 600 to
1000 pounds an acre.
with the stalks from one acre
containing plant food worth about
S3.75, the total value Of the stalks
produced In the State reaches a value

Foreign Born Americans

The Inter-Racial Council, organization with
headquarters in New York, has recently made public
some figures based upon original research, regarding
the number of foregnborn persons resident IN the
United States These figures not elsewhere obtain
able are believed to be quite reliable and vau-
able contribution to the much discussed problem of
immigration.
The total approximate number of foreign born now
in the United States is placed at 900, and these
the Council divides into four classes.
The first class is composed of British, Irish Ger
man and other northern peoples to total of 7o5oCoo
900 Germans, 1,25oooo Swedes and Norwegians, and
900 Danes and Dutch.
A second class is composed of Latins tc a total
number of 346OOOO These include 100000 Italians,
100000 each of French and Spanish (he latter includ
ing Mexcans) 100000 each of Portuguese and Ruman-
ians, and 10000 Belgians.
The third class is that of the Slavs OF these there
are altogether 1861 900, of whom 125o,00o Polish
65OOO0 Czecho-S Slovaks, $4,000 Juso-Savs, 125,00O
Russians 1250oo Ukranians and 171,00o other Slavs
The fourth class is a miscellaneous group of 2,G54,-
oOO the largest single category being the 1750,O0o
Jews Here also are listed 100000 Hungarans, 100000
Greeks, 100000 Lthuanians $4,000 Firms and 100000
of other races including Albanians, Armeuians,
Assyrans Syrians Esthonians Chinese and japanese.
In some instances these figures much below
those commonly given and believed to be correct The
total of 16125O00 foreign born for the United States
also lower than commonly supposed The research
es of the Council, however were undoubtedly made with
no other purpose than to get the facts and they
are published other purpose than to give reliable
information.

General Pershing's Warning

The great majority of Americans strongly op-
posed militarism. They convinced that war IS
both folly and a crime, and they believe that dis
armament the imperative duty of all civilized natous
All the more because Americans believe these
things, they should be impressed with the warning
given by General Pershing that disarmament may be
gigantic and fatal folly for any nation that takes such
a step under unfavorable conditions
In one aspect the people of the United States were
safe from foreign attack they are at tie
present time. The comparative strength of the Amer
lean navy great as it is now. There is
vast body of who have had military training The
sources of military supplies are greater than ever be-
fore There is foreign power that has either the
ability the wish to make attack upon the United
States by land, and may search from worlds
end worlds end without discovering sign of pos
sible foe That is side of the picture.
The United States is very much the richest nation
in the world today Its wealth and its possessions Of
fer nestmabc prize for any strong and unscrupulous
nation or any group of nations, that find weak
spot in our defence and strike sudden blow where it
will do the most harm. History's lesson is plain that
unexpected events frequently lead to that might
have seemed impossible If it is not wholly correct to
say that the United States has friends among
the nations it is true that nation should rely for its
defence upon the strength the good will of other
tions no matter how friendly those nations should be-
The United States is safe today because it is
strong Its safety will continue only so long its
strength remains.
The United States should lead in disarmament only
when it is certain that other nations will follow promptly
its example Even then its disarmament should pro-
ceed rapidly than is consistent with the ma
tional safety

Germany Refuses to Pay

If there bad been at any time since the armistice
signed any evidence that German leaders Ger
people willing to accept the war decision in
good faith and to do their best to keep sincerity the
terms of the armistice, there would be inclination
10 give faith to the present declaration that Germany
cannot and will not accept the amount proposed by the
Allied council for the reparations settlement.
No such disposition has been shown in Germany,
but the contrary Germany has baked upon every
possible occasion and in every possible way, until the
only reasonable conclusion that any impartial observer
reach is that Germany is still pursuing the
course of evasion, objection and whining.
1t is not to be expected that this course will have
any better results in the present than has had in
preceding matters. The Allied statesmen had pretty
accurate knowledge, when they made their demands,
what Germany could do and they also had knowledge
of what Germany would do if forced to do it,
1t is not impossible that the Allied terms, as
presented, than the Allies were pre-
pared to accept for there very obvious
Germany and elsewhere why it might seem desirable
to make concessions. 1t would certainly have a
good effect in France for instance, if the government
could prove to the people that it had demanded from
the Germans, in the first instance than the Ger
mans were able TO pay and that the demands had been
scaled down for that reason
There is to think at the present time
that the negotiations will be broken off or that the
compel Germany to make reparations.
