Alfalfa Statistics

Alfalfa seed production in 1881
amounting to 51,2OO,OO0 pounds.
was about 25 per cent smaller than
in 1880, when the largest crop since
1926 was produced, and Is per cent
smaller than in 1929. Greatest de-
creases occurred In the more north
ern producing districts where the
drought was more detrimental to
the crop than elsewhere. Sales in
both spring and fall were smaller
than in 1880. Exports fell off
sharply. Imports were unusually
small, no seed having entered the
United States during the second
half of 1881. Stocks are more than
sufficient TO take care of normal re-
Quirements.

Soybean May Be Most
Versatile II 6 CrOn


The soybean promises to become
Americas most versatile crop
highly valuable both industrially
and agriculturally. The depart
ment has recently completed a col
lection of nearly 400 soybean prod
ucts from the Orient as well as
America.
The collection shows that a wide
variety of products are made from
the soybean in America. 1t is di-
vided into four groups of flour,
bean, meal, and oil products. In
the flour group are bread, cakes,
macaroni, vermicelli, noodles, spa
ghetti, infant foods, diabetic foods,
and beverages such as matted milk.
From the bean proper are soy
sauce, sprouts, bean milk in fresh,
powdered, and canned forms, bean
cheese, flour, soybean butter, and
meat substitutes. The meal pro-
vides animal food such as poultry,
hog, cattle, and dog feed, glue, fer
tilizers, and -four. The oil has
proved a fertile field for develop
ment and from 1t are made soaps,
ink oils, salad oil, shortening, core
oil used In foundries, rubber sub
stitutes. disinfectants, paints, var
nlSh, chocolate candy, and lecithin,
a phosphate tonic compound.

Deaf-Blind Persons Are
Most Neglected Class

"As a class, the deaf-blind in our
midst are not only the most heavily
handicapped and the most lonely of
all human beings. but also as
class, the most neglected" declares
Mrs. ROuleau. "We even know of
deaf-blind children who have been
placed In asylums for the feeble
minded without proper trial-the so
called intelligence tests being quite
worthless In evaluating their poten-
tialities.
"How often have we learned of
deaf-blind children or adOlescents
being refused entrance in schools
for the deaf because they are blind.
or In schools for the blind because
they are deaf; or because schools
have no trained teachers available:
or because they fear that such pu-
pills will prove too difficult, expen-
sive and burdensome.
"We have the names and al
dresses of 944 deaf-blind persons liv.
Ing In the United States and Cana
da, and much assorted information
about them.
"Of our cases, most are white per-
sons, although a number of negroes
also figure, and one Indian; there
are men, women and children Ct all
ages. Many Of them are MANNED
as well as deaf and blind. A small
handful are war veterans. In ad-
dition to braille. the deaf-blind
have various other methods of COM
munication, such as the sign Ian
guage the Morse code. etc. In
most of our listed cases, the per
sons have retained or acquired the
faculty of speech of the spoken
word"
Some efforts to register. educate.
and care for the deaf-blind are now
being made in London, Paris, Berlin
and Montreal according to Mrs.
Rouleau, who adds: 1--WE hope that
all these things and more will be
done for our American cases
through the well-directed efforts of
q central committee for the deaf
blind"
Such joint committee was start
ed last year, with Mrs. Rouleau as
chairman, by the Volta bureau. the
American Federation of AssOcia-
tions for the Hard of Hearing, and

Benefits Shown in
Winter Hay Crops
Not the Least Is Reduction
in Fertilizer Costs.

Fall-planted legumes and small
grains occupy the land at a time
when Ii would otherwise be bare
and exposed to the teaching out
process of soluble plant food. and
to the erosion of the soil itself.
While the chief advantage Of win
ter hay crops is that they furnish
a good crop Of fresh feed at a
time when 1t is likely to be low,
there Is another advantage, espe-
cially where legumes are grown,
that the fertilizer bill may be re-
duced and the land put in such
shape that what fertilizer Is used
will pay better returns.
1t is not expected that farmers
will have much more money to In
vest in fertilizers next spring than
they had last spring than they had
last spring. For that reason 1t Is
only good insurance to take ad-
vantage of suitable growing wealth
er In winter to fill the land with
humus and organic matter.
Limestone and legumes are being
rated as important soil builders in
North Carolina this season, and in
dications are that both will be
used to greater extent than in the
past, say North Carolina field spe-
cialists.

Search For Little L,indv

|. There have been no new develop
ments in the search for the kidnapped
son of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh
other than reports and discovery of
new clues by police which have failed
to materialize.
Kidnappers, it is reported, have not
flied Colonel Lindbergh that he must
wait for time safe and proper before
he can communicate with them and
negotiate the return of his child.
Mrs. ~Lindbergh, mother of the miss
ing child, who has held up bravely
during the past nine days since the
child was kidnapped, is reported to be
i'll and breaking under the long strain
of uncertainty.
Renewed optimism prevailed at the
Lindbergh home during the past 4S
hours, and both Colonel and Mrs.
Lindbergh expressed the belief that
the child would soon be returned to
them unframed, in the near future.
Despite a reported breach between
the colonel and police officials, the
officers have continued diligently in
their investigation of every detail lii
connection with the rase.
During the first part of the week,
Colonel Lindbergh made a direct ap-
peal to the underworld leaders, asking
them to negotiate, if possible, with the
child s~tealers in the hope of finding
the lost child.
