Marshall, Editor and Prop SUBSCRIPTION 81.50 Per Year in Advance THE pst Soy Bean Crop Is Put to Many Uses While It Produces Good Hay, It Is in Demand for Oil and Meal. By 3. B PARK, Department of Agronomy, Ohio State University WNU Service. . One Of natures most versatile crops, when put to use by man, is the soy bean. Brought to this country over 130 years ago, in the last ten years it has been put to many other uses besides that of producing a good quality of hay. Eighteen companies In the United States now use about 10,000,000 bushels of soy beans ; in 1928 only one mill manufactured soy bean oil and oil meaL A good beginning has been made in the last five or six years toward what may become a major American industry. In the Orient, the native home of the soy bean, the soy bean belt is larger than the American corn belt. More than a fourth of all the land in Manchuria is devoted to the crop. Americans have been slow to adopt the soy bean as a food. But this is not surprising, for a hundred years were required to place the potato upon the tables of the upper classes of Europeans. Two big markets for soy bean products are in manufacturing and in animal feeding. The oil is used in soap, paint, varnish, linoleum, glycerine, lecithin, and In several other products. Demand for soy bean cake, or meal, have not been met thus far; most of it enters trade in mixed feeds for dairy cattle. In the Orient it is used largely for human food. The yield of protein from soy beans, pound for pound, is twice that of meat, four times that of eggs, wheat and other cereals, and twice that of navy beans. The Chinese make a dozen foods from it. In eluding milk." Dairy Cows Entitled to Best of Treatment The ration of all rations for the dairy cow is kindness. Roots, silage, alfalfa and mill feeds are all excellent, but any or all of them can be dispensed with for a while and a cow not suffer. But there Is no substitute for kindness. An old teacher In the East advertised to teach all there was worth knowing about grammar In twelve evenings. The thirteenth and last rule of this wonderful mans grammar was, Circumstances alter cases. But this rule is utterly false as regards to cows. There are no circumstances in dealing with dairy cows where kind treatment can be dispensed with. Kindness should be written In flaming capitals on the door of every cow stable. Hoards Dairyman. Tobacco Kings Heiress in Terror of Kidnapers Richest Girl Surrounded by Many Employees. Lady Pietertje Skylark Gerben, Holregistered senior stein ejairy cow bred and owned by the Colorado Agricultural college, has established a new Colorado record for the breed by producing over nine tons of milk 18,498.8 pounds containing 675.2 pounds of butterfat This production makes her the leader in the state for cows of her age that are milked three times a day. The record breaks the one set previously by Stratton Ada Changeling, registered Holstein owned at Colorado Springs. The old record was 16,549.4 pounds of milk containing 590.7 pounds of butthree-year-ol- d terfat. Silage and Silos Wisconsin uses over twice as much corn for silage as any other state, about half of the states production being used for this purpose annually. Last year Wisconsin used 1,054,000 ncres of corn for silage and produced an estimated total of 7,905,000 tons. The next ranking state in silage production was New York with 3,658,000 tons, followed by Minnesota with 3,168,000 tons. According to the Crop Reporting Service of .the Wisconsin and United States Departments of Agriculture, Wisconsin has an estimated nnmber of 118,000 silos which is far more than are found in any other state. - Agricultural Jottings Grounding wire fences protects live stock from lightning.

For several years the heiress has been interested In philanthropy and Is known to have several poor East side families on her list, but associates suspect that she does not get the pleasure she is entitled to out of her benefactions because of her deep seated distrust of the unknown public. When she visits one of her beneficiaries it is said she always goes with a coudisguised, unidentified, in close of attendple bodyguards ance.

She has literally surrounded her personable young self and all her possessions with guards, in one guise or another.

The Duke estate, Rough Point at Newport, R.

To all intent and purposes it Is virtually impregnable. In addition to the gun toting, shield bearing employees of her numerous staff, the richest debutante has each and every one of her many servants checked up regularly and carefully by a private detective agency. Various other precautions are taken to safeguard her seclusion and safety. She never goes out, for instance, without a bodyguard and Is generally accompanied additionally by her mother, her Walker Patterson, or both. She shuns social activity to an unusual degree for a girl of her wealth and standing and seldom confides her going out plans to anybody but her h' wind-born- Miss May Betteridge was selected as Princess May of the twenty-fourtannual national orange show in San Bernardino, Calif., and given the title of California Maid. h r, mother. Friends of hers say she often permits the impression to gain circulation that she is where she is not. When she is reported to be at Duke farms, for instance, they say It is usually safe to bet that she Is staying at her town house here in the city or vice versa. She travels by airplane In preference to train or boat or automobile when she has any considerable distance to go. Her pet aversion is the newspaper camera man and on the rare occasions when she is caught off guard she usually manages to spoil the picture by a quick turn of the head or otherwise. Photographers agree that she never looks the camera in the eye.

Just how much of all this Is due to the many threatening letters reported to have been received by the heiress or members of her family or to the wave of kidnaping which has been sweeping the country for the last year or so is, of course, a matter of conjecture. Members of her family have found occasion from time to time to deny published stories that she was Wingless Rooster Interests Scientists Hope for Light on Mechanism of Flight. Washington. A wingless Plymouth Rock rooster, now in the National Zoological park, may afford science some light on the evolutionary origin and mechanism of flight This bird, now about six months old, Is a perfectly normal specimen In every respect except that it has no wings. Wingless specimens of normally winged birds reported hitherto have died shortly after birth. But ap- parently the abnormal progress of this rooster in the egg went on without the disturbance of anything except the flight mechanism. It was obtained by Dr. Herbert Friedmann, curator of birds of the Smithsonian institution, from Mrs. Olia Deering of Rose Hill, Ky. Dr. Friedmann hopes to find out from him what happened to inhibit the growth of wings provided dissection shows that he had no rudimentary wing bones inside his body. This is the case with some wingless families such as the kiwis of New Zealand. They have wings which do not come out. The wings of a bird are modifications of the same structures which become the front legs, or arms of a mammal. If the point of failure in the development of this bird can be established it may throw some light on the general problem of the physical mechanism of bird flight Itself and of its loss in some species, not yet understandable from normal embryo-logicmaterial. The earliest known birds, such as the fantastic archeopteryx, possessed al wings. Loss of power of flight represents a degenerative primitive condition among living birds.

Parma won the Australian grain race for the second successive time, establishing a modern record for sailing vessels on the course from Australia to England. Her time was 83 days, 19 days longer than the record for the distance, but six days better than the best modern mark, set by the grain ship Marlborough Hill in 1921. The new mark is 20 days better than Parmas first winning performance, and it gave Parma nine days advantage over her closest rival The grain race has come down to this generation as the greatest of the few remaining reminders of the days e of glory on the seas. Australias vast wheat harvest is largely an export harvest. It goes to the mills and the bakeshops of England, of China, of Spain and of France. To travel those distances and still to provide any profit for the Australians, it must be borne at the lowest possible rate. For that reason, many sailing ships bid for the business. And out of the traditional sporting spiilt of the trade under canvas has grown the annual grain race, with masters of sailing vessels vying for honors in the run from land to land, Australia to England. four-maste- s She New State Dairy Record CALIFORNIA MAID ' Sailing Glory Revived by Recent Fast Voyage fled science so long, acts iike any other bird of his age, sex and species, except that it has no flying instinct When it is placed, ravenously hungry, on a table and corn strewn on the floor it hesitates a long time before taking the risk of Jumping down to obtain And Seriously who takes himself sentimentally.

Woe to him it HERE ARE THE Scientists Seek Site of Old Indian Village USUAL SIGNS OF With the location of the ancient Indian village of Guasili still unsettled by historians, Smithsonian institute workers hope to prove that the village was located in Cherokee county, N. C., instead of in the Nacoochee valley of White county, Ga. Under the direction of J. D. Jennings, archeologist of the institute, excavations have already begun in an ancient burial mound at the mouth of The Peachtree creek, near here. mound, which is 18 feet high and 450 feet in circumference, is believed to contain skeletons and various relics which will definitely establish the site of the village. Several skeletons, beads, arrowheads and other objects have been unearthed by farmers plowing in the vicinity. Murphy, N. C.
