KHJEOLAS II, refugee after
J8EVOLT, leaves HIS brother
AS KEUFNT for (zarmtcu
Stockholm, March 15.?The empire
Russia has been shaken in its
foundation by a revolt, the fierceness
-ai*d exact consequences of which are
sti!I shrouded behind a veil of secre
cy?the s.i.me that managed to hide
"from the world for fully a week tnai
the' long-smouldering sparks of dis
*H>nt iit had been fanned to the fury
<ol rebellion.
Nicholas II is no longer czar of all
Abe Russias. He has abdicated his
throne and is today a refugee at tile
headquarters of some loyal army
'Chief, "somewhere on the easteru
front."
(His brother, .Michael Alexandro
vitch, who six yrars fled the em
jtire as an exile because of his mor
ganatic marriage, lias been appointed
xegent to ad for the 13-year-old czar-;
<ntch_ Alexis Nicolaevitch.
Kicbolas' ministers, at the time the'
last reports were sent from Petro
?rad. were in jail. One of them, Min-j
ister of the interior Protopoff, is re-1
ported dead, the victim of a wild bat-;
in the streets of the capital in
which hungry mobs, soldiers and po- i
jflce were the contestants.
The casualty roll is said to be be- j
Tkrw 1,000. From Moscow, where a'
cimilar Teign or terror previuieu, uv
definite news is as yet obtainable.
The duma emt rged complete \-ictor. j
is to-day for the first time in the:
history of its existence that it was
created for?the representative body:
-ol the people. Having been ordered
by an imperial ukase to adjourn and
fto home, it turned upon the govern- j
ment, sent every minister to prison,;
established a provisional government
in complete control of the capital and
as a crowning climax to its long and
titter fight. Inflicted an ignominious
defeat upon the rule whose powers,
made him?as his predecessors?the
aaost absolute autocrat on the face'
of the globe. j
The revolution, as far as is known,
iwis short-lived, and completely sue-!
?essfu-l. It tasted three days?from i
Thursday, March 8, until Saturday, j

^disturbances and riots that have been
recurring "with increasing violence,
and in decreasing intervals for many
"weks.
The cause of the revolt and of the)
anomentous change it has brought j
about may be summarized in two vi- j
ta] facts: 1
A starving nation wanted food. j
a mnz7led Darliament "wanted free-;
xJom to give the people food. I
And, while the duma fought the fin
oSkJ fight with a tyrannical govern
Taaent for liberty, the starving masses
wb?m. they, represent fought for food
in the streets of Petrograd and Mos
cow.
The chief sensation of it all was
that the hulk of Petrograd's garrison
?30,000?strong sided with the rioting j
masses, sided with them against the j

army of police only recently reinforc
ed by thousands upon order of tlie
bated ProtopopotT.
Tlie revolt spells the death blow to
the sinister forces of reaction and
graft that have been holding full
sway for centuries but were nevei
fully exposed until the war came ana
fVwirvi Russia in a state of economic,
financial and military unpreparedness
which converted every great drive on
the eve of its triumph into disaster
and from which the duma had been
vainly fighting to deliver the empire.
Iii entente quarters, the outcome is
viewed as a defeat of the pro-Ger
man propaganda, which, with such
ready tools as Stuermer and Proto
popoff, worked toward separate Rus
sian peace. The duma, it is argued, i.s
splidly united in favor of prosecuting
ho -a-pr until it is won.
While it is admitted by close ob-!
servers here that the new order of
things in Russia, if it lasts, will defi
nitely do away with Germanophile in
fluences, it is pointed out that the re
volt with its government changes is
bound to have a disastrous affect upon
the army and that particularly as far
as the food supply is concerned no
relief is in sight even with the duma
victorious.
The great Muscovite empire is in a
chaos of internal disorder, brought
about by years of weakness. incoher-|
ence and preying on the public runas
by the various governments.
The country has inexhaustible re
sources to feed itself, but it is not
even now mobilized to exploit those
resources. There is no system of pro
visioning, no scheme for transporta
tion. More than 40 ministers have!
come and gone in two years. Each j
has added blunders or crimes to the
orgy of demoralization. There have!
been five different premiers since the j
outbreak of the war.
Insufficient provisioning, lack of
munitions and disorganization behind
the front' have hampered the army's
work throughout the Z1 months or
war.
Protopopoff, more than any other
individual, bears direct responsibility
for the revolt. He is the best hated i
man in all Russia. Originally a cloth i
manufacturer, he was lifted to pow-j
er by Rasputin, the "mystic monk,"!
who was recently murdered by the)
fots of the Germanophil^s. By a cu
rious trick of fate, Paul Milyukoff,

and produces in the hog a soft, flabby
meat, the fat of which will not pro

Fifth: The Peanut, being a legume,
is a soil builder and adds nitrogen to
the soil and works in splendidly in a
rotation with cotton or corn, both of
which are voracious feeders on nitro
gen and requiring clean culture, rap
idly deplete the soil of nitrates.
Proper Fertilization
Because it is a legume, many peo
ple believe that it requires no fertili
zers (IQU in litis tllCV ilic ua uijr uiia
taken. Nitrogen gathering nodules
do not begin to form on the roots of
the plant until the nut is two-thirds
matured and if through lack of prop
er nourishment, the plant is allowed j
to languish until this stage is reach- ]
ed, the crop will be greatly curtailed
and profits lost.
The plant requires a sufficient
amount of nitrogen from a "ick acting
source to carry it to the nc .ule form
ing period while the presence in suffi

potash is essential during the growth
and maturity of tbe plant.
An application of a fertilizer con
taining 12 per cent available phos
phoric acid, 1 1-2 to 2 per cent am
monia and 2 per cent potash, applied
at the rate of from 400 to 6u0 pounds
per acre, will make a crop of both
nuts and hay sufficient to return the
cost of the fertilizer and leave a hand
some profit while an unfertilized crop
will barely return cost of production.
The Profit Value
The profit value of an acre of well i
cultivated and fertilized peanuts is '
oonai tn thp nrnfit value of an acre of
cotton producing two-thirds of a bale j
to the acre. j
The following tabulated cost and
value estimated by Dr. J. N. Harper,
clearly proves this point:
