PLANT SOY BEANS FOR SEEDING GROP 4 \ Follow With Them After Win ter Grain and Early Potatoes. i > ? Washington, D. C., June 1m.?-Thf southern planter still has ample time rtc plant soy beans for a seed crop, and it offers him at the present time one of tlie best cash grain crops to nupnlement cotton. ' South of the Potomac and Ohio ll Rivt?i\< pycpllcnt iisiilU m:iv lift oh I tn'ned by planting after winter grain u;:d early potatoes are removed, according to the United States DopartI me,nt of Agriculture. In such in| the land need only be thoroughly disked to secure a suitable seed bed. Late varieties as the Mam ^ moth may be planted as late as June lo to 20 and mature good yields of seed. Karlv varieties, such as I to ^ 'an, Medium Yellow, Mikado, and Mongol, may be plante 1 in the Cotton Belt as late as July 1"> and still mature the crop for seed. The yellow seed varieties are preferred, especially by food manufacturers. The Mammoth Yellow is espcimully adapted to the Southern fciVfttos for see i production. Considerable quantities of seed of this va* r.c tv arr still available for planting. The soy bean already has reached' a place of high economic importance in America and Europe as a food stuff. The seed of the soy bean unlike that of the cowpea, rarely i.-> attacked by the weevil or other grain insects. Even where the oil is ex ti acted the resultant meal is a very desirable food. During- the present season the demand for seed by food ( manufacturers has resulted in greatly increased prices. In view of tbe la -go demand, production in excess of requirements is very improbable and this season's crop undoubtedly will <comniand profitable prices. The soy bean also is a soil improver and the straw is valuable for feeding purposes. LINE IN BELGIUM GRUMBLING UNDER r ' Important First Line System - Abandoned by Germans to British. n~ n? Th" German line in r'.e'gium 1< umbling unbr the Br:iis;h offensive t'^ere. Evidence of this appears to? ay in the announcement by London c a Gorman retreat on a front of ap{ voxim.T ely two miles in the arc j eouthwest of Wameton.

General PI urn or cor j tinned attacking the Germans from time to time east of Messiahs and gained additional ground there, rur/'/V south, the British al-o have ex ted pressure upon General von Ar- 1 : im's lines. Having lost the last of t .e commanding artillery ai d observation positions in this region, when t..e Messinaw Ri<lg;e i'ell into tJrid.si. h;inds. the Germans are finding th ^ pressure at some points beyond their ability to meet.

U-BOAT BIG FACTOR IN ECONOMIC WAR: Berlin?Under t!ie caption "Submarine Warfare and War Costs" th? North German Gazette has the following to say: "In none of the warring countries has the question of war costs attracted that degree of attention one was previously led to behove i*- would. One is almost inclined to as-ie-'t that the higher the war costs mount, the less attention they arouse, and Lioyd George's word concerning the las* ? j silver bullets probably will nevei come true. " The entrance of the United Stales into the war is accounted tor in no small degree by the circumstance^ that they became the creditors of our enemies, whose bankruptcy they saw approaching and desired to avert as far as possible. In connection with the participation in the war of the United States and their far-reaching shipbuilding plans, it is especially desirable to protect the question of the costs of submarine warfare into public discussion. How do the material losses of our enemies compare with those we are suffering? The answer is quite plain. German I*oss Negligible. "Offsetting the monstrous values which the Plntente powers are losing daily in ships and cargoes, foremost1 of which are those of England, not to mention the costs of meeting the submarine war, our losses are almost infimtestimal. They consist only in lost U-boats and munitions. Thi wholly unequal proportion becomes more pronounced, us the submarine campaign goes on. The more capital our enemies invest in shipbuilding the greater will be the ratio of valuer wiped out, and to this increased extent we are permitted to consider tin success of our U-boat campaign a?s an economic gain of immediate importance. "To be sure, our enemies set up th< slogan "ton for ton" on which basis they propose to obtain restitution for losses sustained through our subma rines. Seriously, they are hardly expecting to realize such a peace condition. Such prospects never did obtain and today they are more remote than over. We may confidently permit our U-boats to make reply to such a boastful demand."

No conquering hero returning home could have hoped for or received such a tremendous reception as g?voted the American commander as his au- t tomobi'e sped through hundreds of j thousands of cheering; oeonle. I Paris, and particularly th?? French authorities, had planned and hoped for a great reception, but it is doubtful whether even the most optimistic pictured the almost frantic crowds that all but blocked the progress of J the automobiles.

When the special train reached th> ' station General Pershing and Fie Inj Marshal .Joffre vere the first to ap-| p??ar. Behind them came a stream; of American officers, each with a : French officer as his host. The first j shout of welcome became a continu i oui rear that seemed to shake the | station to ifs foundations. The police j hurriedly began to clear a lane flown which a half dozen automobiles mov- ! e?! at a snail's p ice between frantic | throngs. From, hundreds,of .windows A^neri--' can Hags were waved by men, women j and children. French girls, with | flags pinned to their breasts and i their arms filled with flowers i bought from their scanty savings,! fairly fought for a chance to | get near enough to the machines to; hurl offerings into the laps and on the shoulders of the astonished Amer ican officers. The Ajr.erican apparently had not imagined the heights to which Parisian enthusiasm cou.'d rise. Boys, men and gilds and even some old wo-j men, struggled to jump on the running board of General Pershing's car j to shake hands with them. The demonstration was the m>re: significant because it came from a great outpouring of people who fo" the time being seemed almost to forget that war was in progress. Compliment Every American.

General Pershing was expected to irrive from Boulogne at 5 o'clock, 1 out his special train did not reach , ( Paris until 6:510. This gave oppor-1 ;unity for' thousands who work until 3 o'clock to mass themselves along ' ;hc route, until the congestion be- j 1 lame so great that transportation: ' -'/as tied up.

C.?There are f y a few rules for feeding baby chicks that must be followed hi order to obtain good results. One of the most ^} important is not to overfeed with ;ij starch or fat. When the dry and live th ly chicks are taken from the nest or p. incubator, their first food shouid con- >S(l ?ist of cut-up hard boiled egg-s mixed a<with rolled oats and bread crumbs. Over this sprinkle a little sifted oys- p,| ter shells. If you have no firm ground shells, punch different size j boles in two tomato cans and sir: j some creek sand. Select sand the size of half a grain of rice. This will fHi the gizzard of the chick with little p, A ones and will enable it to grind u>! ^ # j it-K food. Diarrhea is frequently cans j cd (especially that known as "pasting! tip behind") by lack of grit. Feed the egg mixture five times n I i lay for the first two days. Then mix I wh a'he at bran, grits, bread crumbs, roll- j ;d oats, and .sifted shells and fill a *l.) > crs "tower pot saucer with it. Leave inc icr'ore the chicks all the urns.
