A good impression has been made by the Socialist Government's pronouncement concerning the Constituent Assembly. Vorwacrts declares that the pronouncement "makes the Constituent Assembly a certainty." The Berlin correspondent of the Hamburg Fremdenblatt is encouraged by the events of the last few days. He reports that a large part of the members of the Soldiers' Coun cils have removed the red bands from their sleeves. Soldiers Repress Socialists. Not all clanger for democracy has passed, the correspondent adds, hue he says the Government can rely on the soldiers, who are the "real holders of power." At a meeting of soldiers the withdrawal of the order for the? formation of a civilian Red Guard was demanded. One Socialist speaker who said, "But comrades, you are Socialists," was answered with the ^hout "We are soldiers!" The same Socialist speaker's declaration that it was a duty to spread i the revolution to England an 1 France was loudly disapproved. . A ??. 1--A! - t ,1 . .? jx resoiuuun was passed mat UK: Berlin soldiers would view the arming of laborers with distrust as long as the government failed t3 declare expressly for the summoning of a Constitutional Assembly as the so) 3 basis for the adoption of a Constitution. Factories Resume in Berlin. A good impression has been created by the Government's order to the soldiers to obey their officers an_l maintain discipline. The Prussian Government has announced that Prussia's future will be determined by a Constituent Assembly and the Wurttemburg Government has mad? a similar announcement. All the factories in Berlin have resumed operations. The whereabouts of Ludwig III, former King of Bavaria, is unknown, according to a dispatch from Munic.i to Amsterdam. Dernburg to Enter Cabinet. A despatch received here quotes a message from Berlin saying that th ree civilian politicians will enter the German Cabinet?Herr Waldstein and Dr. Bcrnhard Dernburg, to represent the Progressive Popular Party, and Matthias Erzbcrger, who will represent the Centrists. Otto Bauer, editor of the Viennu Arbeiter Zeitung, has been appointed Austrian Foreign Minister, according to a Vienna despatch recevied here. Mule THE SPARK THAT Copenhagen. ? Friday afternoon': edition of the Vorwaerts of Berlir declared that the report was true that the German fleet was orderci out on October 20 for a final battle which was to be fought until the las! ship was sunk. The pan- German: believed that such a battle would re animate the German people with th< spirit of 1914. It is said that the order to th< fleet spoke merely of a "manoeuvn cruise" but the report that a sacrifi cial battle was intended spread liki wildfire. A general mutiny follow ed.

IMBb.' mi > DEATH RIDES WITH OUR AIR PATROLS Chasers and Bombers Alike Go Ceaselessly Over Foe's Lines. Close to our front line in the neigh borhood of Grandpre I watched a German airplane circling over the narrow foxholes in which crouched our muddy and weary but undaunted infantry. Suddenly the plane skimmed low and the sinister clack-clackclack of its machine gun fusillading our helpless doughboys faintly reach ed my cars, says Lincoln Eyre. A moment later something that looked like a falling star dropped out of the skies right on the ta'il of the low-flying Boche. Abruptly righting itself, the star became an American pursuit plane spitting bullets at the marauder, and the Fokker shot upward and climbed higher, with his pursuer right behind him, and vanished from view far beyond his own lines. Just as the curtain fell upon this little melodrama 1 glimpsed far above even the highest wisps o! cloud a group of our battle planes riding in stately array toward Germany. A sweating runner stopped on his way back from the firing line, glanced upward and exclaimed jubilantly, "Gee, them birds look good to me!" Task at All Times Hazardous. What 1 had seen was simply a bit o'" tho everyday business our airmen are performing on this front. After ward, back at aviation headquarters, I found no report of the occurrence; it was too much a matter of routine to mention in the report. Yet when that American youth drove back his adversary he probably saved a hundred men from wounds or death. In the public mind the aviator 's a dashing Sir Galahad, constantly engaged in spectacular duels in which he shoots his adversary down in flames or is himself destroyed. As a matter of fact, these Olympian combats form only a small part ol our chasse pilots' duties. Most of the time they are carrying out task-, of far less sensational, though equally hazardous, character. Scores of pilots seek vainly for somebody to fight.. They never have the luck to encounter a belligerent foeman, and are perforce obliged to content themselves with the routine oi patrolling the sky lanes. Yet they arc every whit as necessary to our ai my as the luckier and celebrated aces, just as the destroyer which never sights a submarine is quite as valuable in war at sea as her sister ship which has sunk dozens. Even the leaders of our corps, like Capt. Eddie Uiekenbacher, do not always find the Boche willing to give battle. Capt. Rickenbacher's latest exploit, in fact, consisted in a sort of game of hare and hounds, in which he was the hound and a Fokker with a crippled engine was the hare. The German sought vainly to volplanback to his own territory, firing scarcely a single shot, but Rickenbather managed to manoeuvre hi a so cleverly he was obliged to com' down a half a mile behind our owr I trenches.

Their value, according to the bulletin, has long been known in the Old World where | from ancient times they have been grown as a vegetable, a forage, and a green-manure crop. VA\ some sections of this country. ; particularly the Pacific Coast Spates, the large flat-reeded varieties ar pioduccd in home gardens and ar"* used either green, dried, or canned as a vegetable much the same as any of the more common beans.

Horse beans are not very exacting Uf to soil requirements, but do best on well-drained, heavy loam or clay loam soil. A good supply of moisture, however, is essential. The crop requires practically the same climatic conditions as common vetch. The hardier varieties stand a winter temperature of 15 degree:*, above zero without serious injury, I but the tenderer varieties are frequently killed by light frosts. Ben j development is made in cool weather {and in localities having mild winter [conditions such as prevail in the i South and Pacific Coast State1-. Seeding can be done in September, October, or November, the exact time depending largely upon the soil moisture available in these months In northern localities or at high elevations. farther south where severe I winter conditions prevail, pla iting I should bb done as early in the spring as tlie ground can be worked. Seeding of small-seeded varieties can be done with a common com planter, and planters used for lima brans are suitable for the larger varieties. Except when grown on a commercial scale for drying and for stock feed or as a green-manure crop, seeding is usually done by 'hand. Horse beans planted on lan 1 I for the first time require inocula' j lien, which is true with most, if not 1 j all, legumes. The crop should bI cut for seed as soon as the lowei ; parts are mature and the upp i ones fully developed.

C , Nov. 13th. j ?To aid in the promotion of the fall food campaign the Agronomy Division of the Extension Service makes some good suggestions on planting wheat in South Carolina. Soils for Wheat.?Wheat requires a fertile soil, preferably a clay or a j clay loam. It will grow successfully , on the lighter sandy soils only when heavily fertilized. The soil should | be well drained and should not be . low and marshy. I Preparing (lie Land.?If the land is to be plowed in preparation for 'wheat it should be plowed as early j a.- possible and medium deep. Land I j should not. be plowed deep just bc| fore planting, as wheat needs a firm ,-soil with a loose mulch on the surface. Much of the wheat will, of neccs- j , sity, be planted or corn and cotton J land. This can be done by using* at I 1 _ _ l - i l T i ? * ? imu-iior.se orni. ii can also do done by seeding: broadcast and p'owing in , with a cultivator or sprirg-tcothcd , harrow. I Fertilizers for Wlv. at.?The bed , fertilizer for wheat which is avail- J ' able to the farmer at the present j time is a mixture cf equal parts of j acid phosphate and cotton seed meal , applied to the time of seeding and ( at the rate of 400 to 500 pounds per acre. It is advisable to top dress [wheat in March with 100 pcurms o! ; I nitrate of soda per acre if it is avail ( 'able. If the nitrate of soda is not l available it will be profitable to top] , dress with barn-yard manure early in the spring, j Time to Plant.?Anytime from the middle of October to the flr.t of Do-' j comber will be satisfactory, but the soonei wheat is up after the first killing frost the better i', will bo. Amount of Seed to Plan'.?The best rate of si odintr is. ! to 0 nn-k ; per acre. Host Varieties to Plant.?Sonic of the best variiies oi' whor.t for South \ Carolina arc Red May.

MOTOR TRUCKS SHOWN IN FARMING REPORTS Longer Hauls at Less Cose Disclosed in Reports to Department 4. Motor-truck hauls in 1918 from farm to shipping point averaged 11.?. miles, while wagon hauls averaged 9 miles; and a motor truck made 3.1 I round trips per day over its longer I route of 11.8 miles, while wagons made 1.2 round trips per day over. the 9-mile distance. Toe,estimated coot for hauling in | wagons from farm to shipping point averaged in 1918 about 30 cents a ton a mile for wheat, 33 cents for corn, j and 48 cents for cotton; for hauling ir. | motor trucks or by tractors the aver-; ages arc 15 cents for wheat or corn 1 and 18 cents a ton-mile for cotton. ( These figures are based on reports j made by correspondents of the Bureau , of Crop Estimates of the United Stat-! es Department of Agriculture. Motor Cost Declines. A similar inquiry in 19015 showed an : averagd for wagons of 19 counts per) j ;i . i i ' ' 1 ii-nuic ivr nauiing corn or wneai, ..nd 27 cents for cotton. In 19< 8 wagon costs wore naturally higher, since prices and wages have incrcat- i od, but motor truck costs were much lower in 191S than even the wagon costs of 1900, due to greater efficiency of the motor truck. The cost of wagon hauling a ton- | mile for wheat among the geographic divisions in 1918 was lowest in Urn Pacific States, 22 cents. Above this, in order, are the North Central States east of the Mississippi River, with 20 . cents; the West North Central States 29 cents; the West'South Central, ?2 cents; the East South Cencrtat, !io cents; New England and tho Middle Atlantic States, MS cents, the South Atlantic States, M9 cents; and, highest | of all, the Rocky Mountain States, with 42 cents a ton-mile. In motoivtruck hauling the order of the different divisions of the country begins with 9 cents a ton-mile for wheat in 1918 in the East North Central, 10 cents in the East South Central. 14 rents in Now Km land the Middle Atlantic, and the West North Ccncrtal, 15 cents in the West South Central, 17 cents in the Pacific, 18 ; cents in the South Atlantic, and 2!) j cents in the Rocky Mountain States. ? Trailed^ Often Used. The motor trucks generally in u*-e | by farmers are not large trucks, but small ones whose nominal caput ity is UMtally 1 to 2 tons. In suite a numi bcr of countries throughout the country the trucks used for hauling are made-over passenger cars. In some j cases light wagons are attached us j trailers to ordinary passenger cars and produce is taken to market in that way. In North Dakota and CaliI ifornia, as well as other States, trac; tors, each drawing several wagons, are used for hauling grain. Trailer, aie also used, especially in the We a';, with horse-drawn wagons. Cor the United States as a whole 'the average wagon load of wheat was 55 bushels in 1 DOG and f>(> bushels in j lints, and mo motcr-trucK ioa<i in tn-1 lattei voar was 84 bushels. For com. i the wagon loads of 1900 and 1918 j wore 89 bushels and, the motor-truck load of 1918 was 58 bushels. The cotton load for 190G and 1918 for wag! ons was 8.4 and 8.6 bales, respectiveS ly, and for motor trucks G.G bales in 1918. i o 14ring us your order for letter i heads. o CRYING FOR HELP i ???? i Lots of It in Conway But Daily Growing Less.
