A Velvet Bean Convert.
Ujshopville, Feb. ,12. ? Early last
spring, says J. P. Quinerly, Farm
Demonstration Agent of Lee Coun
ty, I was called to a remote section
of the county to investigate an epi
demic of cattle which proved to be
hemorrhagic septicaemia. When I
went back to inoculate these cattle,
I went among other placfes to the
home of Albert M. Rogers, Lucknow,
S. C., a small though progressive
k?oking farmer. Hi? cattle were poor
and he said feed was too high to buy.
I suggested velvet beans.
Saturday, Mr. Rogers came to my
office. It was the first time ? I had
seen him since the day I treated his
cows. He came to get information
on how to put out a Bermuda grass
pasture, saying, "All I need now in\
something for my cows and hogs in
the summer; velvet beans will do thei
[rest."
"So you tried the beans, I pre->
sume."
"Yes ? and man, they are the thing.
My cows are all fit and giving more
milk and butter than we know what
to do with. Likewise with all my
neighbors' cows, for my fields have
fed them all since November, and
there are still beans galore there
now! They will all plant velvet
beans this year because they can't
do without them and I have given
them warning that I will iencc my
place next fall. It is the first time
our folks have had fat Cattle and
hogs in the fields this time of year.
I'll tell the world velvet beans are
the thing!"
"And, Mr. ? Rogers, you will like
them still better when you see the
crops that follow in that velvet bean
field," I remarked in parting.

The Story of
Our States

THE Indian
nnnw for
the Platte
river wa? Ne
braska, mean
ing "shallow
water," and
from this
fame the name of the slate. A
nickname for the state Is the
Blackwater State.
Of the early Spanish explora
tions little is known, except that
Coronado probably reached the
great plain of this region in 1541.
More than one hundred and
twenty-five years later Father
Marquette noted the Platte river
on his trip up the Missouri. In
the beginning of the Nineteenth
century the Lewis and ('lark ex
pedition skirted the boundaries
of the present Btate and In 1805.
Manuel Lisa established the
first known settlement which was
a fur trading post at Bellevue.
This was Just after the Louisiana
Purchase had brought Nebraska
into United States territory.
Omaha was established os a
post of the American Fur com
pany in 1825 and Nebraska City
the following year.
With the California gold rush
in 1840 many pioneers ' passed
through Nebraska andv some
stopped and settled there al
though there was a law forbid-,
ding settlements among the In
dians. The ' real colonization
boom, however, started with the
passing of the Kansas-Nebraska
act In 1854, which arranged that
these two sections should become
free or slave states at the dic
tate of their Inhabitants. The
Nebraska territory was then or
ganized and reached from the
fortieth to the forty-ninth paral
lel. In 1861, the region north
of 43 was made into Dakota
territory. The Idaho territory
was also created, which re
duced Nebraska to its present
size of 77,520 square miles, ex
cept for a slight addition in the
Northwest which was made in
1882.
In 1807 Nebraska was admit
ted as the 37th state over the
president's veto. It ha.> eight
presidential electors.

Williams and Mary College ls?ue?
Strong Creed.
'(Dearborn Independent.)
John Garland Pollard, of ihe facul
ty of the College of Williams and
Maty, of Virginia, has forwarded a
copy of the "William and Mary Cit
izenship Creed" formulated by the
students of the classes of Virginia
government and citizenship with the
atlvice and help of leading statesmen
and scholars throughout the country.
William and Mary Citizenship Creed
1922.
We, the members of the classes in
Virginia government and citizenship
of the Marshall-Wythe School of Gov
ernment and Citizenship, of the Col- ,
lege of William and Mary, at Wil
liamsburg, Virginia...... do declare
that the following is a
summary of our conception of our
duties as citizens to the government
under which we live:
My Duties as a Citizen.
To acquaint myself \yith those fun
damental principles embodied in our <.
constitutions and laws which experi
ence has shown are essential to the
preservation of our liberties and the
promotion of good government, and
to defend those principles against all j
attacks.
To inform myself on all public is
sues, and on the character, record
and platform of all .candidates for of
fice, and to exert actively my influ
ence in favor of men and measures
in which I believe.
To vote in ?every election, primary
and general, never using my vote for
personal or private ends, but only
for the public good, placing the wel
fare of my country above that of my
party, if the interests of the two (
should ever conflict.
To connect myself with the politi
cal party which most nearly repre
sents my views on public questions,
and to exert influence within the par
ty to bring about the nomination of
gootl men for office and the endorse
ment of measures for the public
weal. 9
To have the courage to perform my
duties as a citizen regardless of the
effect upon me financially or social
ly, remembering that a cowardly citi
zen is as useles to his country in time
of peace ns a cowardly soldier is in
time of war.
To stand for honest election laws
impartially administered.
To obey "ajl laws whether I
them wise or not, and to uphold the
officers in the enforcement of the
law.
To make full and honest returns
of all my property and income for
taxation.
To be ever ready to serve my coun
try in war, and in peace, especially
in such ^inconspicuous capacities as
juror and election official.
To acquaint myself with the func
tions of the various departments of
my government and to spread the
knowledge of the same among my
fellow citizens in order that they may
enjoy to the fullest extent the advan
tages offered by the government, and
may more fully recognize the govern
ment as a means of service to the peo
ple.
To encourage good men to enter
public service and remain therein by
commcnd in# the faithful performance
of their duties and by refraining from
criticism except such as is found on
a knowledge o i facts.
To aeok to promote good feeling be
tween all gVoups of my /el low citi
sens and" to resist as in tot leal to
public welfare nil partisan efforts to
[ excite race, religious, class and sec
tional prejudice.
Not to think alone of what my gov
ernment can do for me but more about
what I can do for it.
To inform myself with respect to
the problems which confront my
country in its- foreign relations, and ,
to support policies which safeguard !
its legitimate interests abroad and
which recognize the responsibilities
of the United States as a member of
international society.
Prudence.
In Georgia they tell of a country
minister, the Reverend Tyler Bliss,
who waH driving a spirited horse
through a village, when hd overtook
the local physician, who happened to
be on foot, and invited him for a lift.
Ten minutes later the horse bolted,
tipped over the carriage and spilled
both men. The doctor rose to his
feet, and felt himself over to see
whether he was injured. Then he
turned angrily toward the clergyman.
"See here," he demanded. "What
do you mean by inviting me to ride
behind an anirpal like that?"
"Well," replied the minister mildly,
"it wub lucky that this time there
were no bones biroken. But I always
like to have a doctor with me whe?
I drive that horse. Amorican le

North American Bird.
St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 26. ? Dr. Frank
Blair Hanson, head of the department
of zoology at Washington Universi
ty, says that a bed of asphalt found
in California, which had caught ami
preserved the skeletons of animals,
birds and reptiles, has been of uim
measuurable value to science." Ani
mals are caught in the asphalt bed as
flies on fly paper, he explained.
"One of the interesting facts dis
covered in this fossil bed," he con
tinued, 'Mb that the peacock, former
ly believed to be a native bird of
Asia, was a north American bird."

Use Best Cotton Seed
"In my opinion the man who abandons staple octton
this year will make a mistake.
"Staple cotton grown from carefully selected seed
will, I believe, always prove profitable.. Rundown mixed
seed can not produce high grade staple. This year
planters should see that the seed they plant is the best
obtainable.
