SOY BEAN WILL BE A VALUABLE PRODUCT NEW CROP THRIVES WELL IN ALL SECTIONS OF THE UNITED STATES PRODUCES OIL, IS A FOOD PRODUCT AND A SPLENDID FERTILIZER The soy bean, which has reached a place of unusual economic importance in Asia and Europe as a material from which foodstuffs, cattle feed, fertilizer and oil suitable for a variety of uses may be manufactured, should become increasingly important in the United States to both farmers and manufacturers. While the bean may be grown throughout the humid and semihumid sections of the South and in the southern portion of the corn belt, it thrives especially well in the cotton growing regions. For this reason, according to a recent publication of the department of agriculture, Bulletin 439, it offers an excellent opportunity to the cotton planter for adjusting his farm plans to offset the damage to cotton inflicted by the boll weevil. On the other hand, since a valuable oil may be pressed from the beans in cottonseed oil mills, and since boll weevil activities tend to lessen cottonseed production, the growing of soy beans in the South should greatly interest the owners of oil mills. The production of soy beans in consider grown in Mississippi and Ohio, for example, yielded respectively 25.4 and 17.5 per cent of oil. THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS THREATENED Civilization is based on education and education on interchange of ideas. Any corrupt practices act that curtails the right of citizens or organizations of citizens to interchange of ideas, expression of thought, or promulgation of doctrine, strikes at the very life of desirable and successful popular government. There can be no question as to either the validity or the desirability of Federal legislation guarding the purity of elections of Federal officers. Such legislation, however, should be clearly within the scope of authority conferred upon the Federal government. The desire has been expressed that the corrupt practices act "shall have teeth in it." So far as that expression conveys a desire that the act shall be of practical effect in the attainment of its legitimate objects, there can be no ground for controversy, but if those who use that expression mean thereby that the law should be framed in such language or drawn in such indefinite scope that the "teeth" shall be a constant irritant and menace to citizens who are pursuing legitimate lines of activity, then the over enthusiastic advocates of Federal control over elections are asking what will not be promotive of the best interests of free government. As between the corrupting influence of a few evil political workers on the one hand, and the officious dictation of partisan prosecuting officers clothed with a broad and vague authority, on the other, there is little choice. No citizen can be corrupted unless he so desires. There are few indeed who note to the European Lansing's even more notable explanation. Mr. B personage in the presidency. have raised a good democratic contributors hailed end of Manhattan course, now record own contribution that some of his selves similarly they are the lucky lucky week for she wonder how it h ACCUMULATION One of the most ever put in against last week by Attic of this city against bert S. Collins. The claim is for the woman says Collins for during that he would carry kill her. It was on April Alpharetta Collins from Albert S. Court of San Bernardo decree ordered Collins $15 a month now declared by order of the court never carried out; no action to force Collins had told him if she did. In April, 1907, again, and her name Alpharetta Saunders that name that he former husband's mony and interest of the department of agriculture, Bulletin 439, it offers an excellent opportunity to the cotton planter for adjusting his farm plans to offset the damage to cotton inflicted by the boll weevil. On the other hand, since a valuable oil may be pressed from the beans in cottonseed oil mills, and since boll weevil activities tend to lessen cottonseed production, the growing of soy beans in the South should greatly interest the owners of oil mills. The production of soy beans in considerable quantities may, in fact, be needed in some seasons to keep the expensive equipment of the mills operating profitably. From the farmer's point of view the existence of the many oil mills in the South and the probability that by furnishing a demand for soy beans these concerns will make the legume an important cash crop should greatly facilitate the introduction of the new product on a commercial scale. Soy beans should be of additional interest to farmers, since, as in the case of other legumes, their culture improves the soil. If a sustained demand for them can be built up, therefore, soy beans can be introduced advantageously into a rotation with cotton, furnishing at the same time a second important cash crop product and a soil improving crop. The recognition of the possibilities of bringing about the production of soy beans on a commercial basis in the South is not based only on the economic importance of the crop in Asia, where its production on a large scale has been established for many years, or on the established market for the beans practically throughout Europe. Soy beans have been grown for forage in this country for many years, and their adaptability to a wide range of climatic and soil conditions has been fully demonstrated. In recent years the crop has been grown to an increasing extent for its seed in eastern North Carolina. A large production of the beans in this section in 1915, together with the occurrence of a cottonseed shortage, led to the experimental pressing of a considerable quantity of beans by local oil mills. These experiments were entirely satisfactory, and the mills participating in them are now taking an active part in the development of this new industry with American grown beans. Oil mills on the Pacific coast have been operating for several years with soybeans imported from Manchuria, and The goal of a desirable and efficient corrupt practices act should be the elimination of the corrupt use of money either in the election or the defeat of individual candidates, but certainly should not be the curtailment of the discussion of ideas either by individuals or organizations desirous of promulgating their views as to the strength or weakness of pending issues. The proposed senate committee amendment to house bill 15,842, if construed as its language reads, limits the scope of political discussion of every newspaper and periodical, the protective tariff league, the tariff reform league, the equal suffrage association, the association opposed to equal suffrage, the anti saloon league, farmers' unions, labor organizations and all other organizations conducting campaigns of propaganda upon subjects of national legislation. It would termiante the activity of colleges that teach the doctrine of either protection or free trade. Instead of curtailing discussion, a desirable corrupt practices act should invite and encourage every possible honest discussion of public questions, whether by circular, newspaper or public speech, but protect candidates from vilification and misrepresentation. How money shall be spent, is more important than how much shall be spent. Eternal vigilance is as much the price of liberty today as it ever was, and no law should be placed upon the statute books abridging freedom of speech or of the press.

These experiments were entirely satisfactory, and the mills participating in them are now taking an active part in the development of this new industry with American grown beans. Oil mills on the Pacific coast have been operating for several years with soybeans imported from Manchuria, and have found a ready sale in this region for the oil, cake and other products. The soy bean can be grown successfully on nearly all types of soil and has about the same range of climatic adaptations as varieties of corn. The growing and handling of the beans are accomplished almost entirely by machinery in this country, the ordinary farm equipment meeting all requirements of the crop. In the large bean growing districts special harvesters for gathering the seed in the field are used quite successfully. The cost of production varies from $7.50 to $12 per acre, depending on the methods employed in growing and handling the crop. The market price per hushel of seed for sowing purposes varies in different sections, ranging from $1 in large seed producing sections of the south to $2 and $3 per bushel in the Central and Middle Atlantic states. Yields of seed to the acre in various sections of the United States range from about 15 bushels of 60 pounds each in the Northern states to about 40 bushels in the northern half of the cotton belt. The average yield in eastern North Carolina is about 25 bushels, although many fields produce 35 bushels or more to the acre. Climate plays an important part in yields and the oil content of the seed. Considerable differences occur in the oil content of soybeans grown in different localities.

Now if something had been lopped off when the commissions were created, so that the expense of government would not be increased, the commission might have been justified. But the creation of the first commission was only an addition to the salary list—more offices had been created. Encouraged by the venture the job hunting class moved for a flock of commissions, and now we have some ten or fifteen state commissions, complains a Washington newspaper. Each commissioner draws a salary ranging from $3,000 per annum up, and all expenses. Now, like Wisconsin, we are to have a commission to regulate commissions. The next thing is to have regulators to regulate the commissions and then we will of course need regulators to regulate the regulators. Is there not some way to get us all on the salary list? Salaries are exempt from taxation. The above is simply a sample of what many states are afflicted with.

The decree granting registry was issued by Judge Thomas from Department No. 2 of the Superior court, April 1, 1916. Application was made in the name of H. J. Biggs, who had a tax title to some lots in Huntington Beach. It is now alleged that the defendant in the original action, Mabel B. Riordan, of Los Angeles, still had sufficient interest in the lots to make it profitable to start suit, and she states in her complaint that she was not notified at the time the application for registry was made. The defendant, Mabel Riordan, now files her answer to the original case, for which the decree has already been issued. She has this right due to the fact that the present law does not declare the title conclusive until one year from the date on which the decree is granted. The defendant will plead that the tax title held by the plaintiff in the original case is not sufficient basis on which to grant said plaintiff ownership in the property. J.W.

Delegates are expected at this meeting from the cities mentioned, and representatives of the two telephone companies. While consolidation of the telephone systems has been much desired by local business men for years, and various steps toward that result have been taken, it is yet likely that a year or more will elapse before the consolidation can be brought about, judging from the experience of Los Angeles in wrestling with the problem. Although the Los Angeles plan has received the approval of the railroad commission, delays are now necessary on account of the turning over of Pacific and Home franchises in outlying towns identified with the city system, such as that at Watts and South Pasadena, and because the merger must be approved by the national government before it can be carried out. It took San Francisco four years to secure the one-phone system, and the Chicago consolidation plan fell through with because the government's permission was never secured. Reports of the department of commerce show that in the eleven months ended November, 1916, American exports of bread stuffs aggregated $494,260,000 as compared with $191,605,000 in a corresponding period in 1913, when there was no war to create an abnormal demand and boost prices of food. The increase in sales of this one class of commodities amounted to $212,000,000. And the farmers who received most of the increased income, have been correspondingly prosperous. The railroads of California have an assessed valuation of $157,096,590. The total assessed valuation of the state is $3,500,000,000, an increase of $263,-384,960 during the year. From the year's profits of a municipal saloon in Bay Point, Cal., the citizens of the town have started street improvement work to the extent of $3000. The saloon, which was opened two years ago by a lumber company Mabel Riordan, now files her answer to the original case, for which the decree has already been issued. She has this right due to the fact that the present law does not declare the title conclusive until one year from the date on which the decree is granted. The defendant will plead that the tax title held by the plaintiff in the original case is not sufficient basis on which to grant said plaintiff ownership in the property. The Torrens law provides that the owner of land under a tax title may apply for registry and get it with no further payment than the amount paid the state and the costs of the court action, unless an answer is filed by the original owner. This case is being watched with interest by the Torrens people and the Title companies. Owning the town site was given to the citizens with the provision that they manage the bar. The entire proceeds go into the street improvements. AMERICA'S OPPORTUNITY The soil is the original source of all wealth. What is grown upon its surface, or is mined from the earth, are the things which sustain human life and put,the wheels of industry in motion. The world is depleted of food stuffs. As long as the principal nations of the earth continue to devote themselves to blood shed and its attendant horrors the crops of the belligerents must be abnormally low. The nations not at war must then produce sufficient for themselves and also for those who cannot produce. They must also produce enough to make up the wastage of war, which is immense. The same rule holds true of many manufactured articles. Homes showing nearly with photographs and descriptions, step-saving, modthe prize deese designs NOW you intend to build.

Every effort should be made by the agricultural portion of the community to produce the greatest crop in 1917 that America has ever harvested. War or no war, prices for everything grown this year will be high. Honest efforts toward increased production will, to some extent, be handicapped by the scarcity of labor. Labor saving machines will, in part, overcome this trouble, but cannot do so entirely. On the Pacific coast abundant rains have put all agricultural lands in excellent condition for crop purposes. In California, even a moderate rainfall during the last of the season will insure good crops. While America's opportunities are large, our people should endeavor to curb the extravagance, public and private, that has taken possession of us. What matters it how much we earn, unless something is saved for the rainy day which will surely come? The plantings of the Oriental timber bamboo in northern Florida and Louisiana have grown to a height of 25 feet, and there is no longer any question about their producing in this country good canes comparable to those which they produce in China and Japan. A quick method of their propagation has been worked out so that it will now be possible to supply large enough quantities of the young plants to set out many small areas throughout the South from the Carolinas to California wherever there is sufficient moisture and the land is not too high priced to admit of their cultivation.
