SAYS GROW TWO KINDSSOY BEANS One Kind for Fattening Hogs, Other for Sale to Mill* Raleigh. Aug. Jl.?<AP)? Soy bean breeding and aelectlon to Droduce two distinct strains. onVdeelrable for stock feeding and the other for bean milling. Is recommended l>y RufWlI, of the U. S. Department of agricul ture, the plan suggested aa a means of meeting the objection that aoy bean feeding tends to produce soft pork and consequent reduction In market prlcea. "We believe." Ruasell says, "the cause of soft pork la primar ily that of fat In the feed. Bean varieties vary In oil contsnt all the way from 12 to 24 percent We have found that If thera la a total fat content of the feed very much in excess of six percent, soft pork la likely to reault. "The protein feeda the rarmer use? for hogs are high priced," he continues. "Moat of them must be purchased. Soy beans furnish suf ficient protein to balance the corn ration, but the reaults of soma i our teyta indicate it would pay bet i ter to feed an animal protein such i as tankage or linaeed meal In ad | dltlon to aoy beans. In the usual case we believe It would be better to feed aoy beans aa a supple ment to corn or other feeds of like nature, rather than as a basal or fattening feed. If the latter plan la uaed soft pork Is almost aure to result. "Now we have la -mind a plan of experimental work Co be under taken by soy besn growers. If suc cessful we think It would be of de cided benefit to the hog producer. It Is briefly this, to reduce the oil content of some of your va rieties of beans by breeding to a point where they could be fed to hogs with safety from the stand point of soft pork. We would have to keep in mind the desira bility of high protein content and palatablllty. Frankly, we do not knotf whether reducing oil con tent would affect palatablllty. We Teallse the soy bean miller wants a bean of high oil content, the opposite of what we do. If, however, a bean of low oil con tent can be produced by breeding, why can not one of the reverse be grown? It la a long time Job. but we are working for the future. If the farmer can grow hla own pro tein feed* and avoid soft pork production, hla profits will In crease materially." White Men Jailed For Attacking Negro's Home ' Whltevllle, Aug.

Militarism and Red Peril Of Soviet Dominance Seen As Main Burdens of China Baptist Missionary Visiting Kin in Hertford After Six Months as Refugee in Shanghai Gives Vivid Ac count of Condition* in Far Eastern Land Millions upon million* asking only that they bo allowed to walk |ln the ways or their forefathers, but exploited, robbed and con founded Instead, with the sinister torch of Communism being carried the length and breadth of the land by paid sgents of Soviet Itusala; with poverty on every hand, and dire famine an ever present peril ?this, In brief, is China today, as Iplctured by a Baptist missionary who has Just returned home after having spent six months aa a ref ugee in Shanghai. The missionary is the Rev. P. E. White, w^o arrived In Hertford a few days ago with hla wife and five months' old daughter to visit Mr. snd Mrs. L. W. Norman, Mrs. Whlte'a parents. On the pleasant ly ahaded front porch of the Nor man home the other day. he aketched Chinese conditions aa he had observed them during throe yearn In the Far Baat?conditions that hold out little or nothing In the way of hope for the early fu ture. Mr. White and his family were In 8hangha| during thoae atirrlng daya last winter when the forces of the Southern Government occu pied the native city. He gave a ?vivid flrat hand account of the looting and rioting during that period, while troopa of many na tlona guarded the International settlement and the French con cession. Though the "foreign devils," as the Chinese Term outsiders, were not molested at that time, he said, they apent many anxious hours while the Victorious soldiery awept to and fro over the native city of Shanghai, robbing, burn ing and lAlllng as they plessed Six Anton In K wek?"*i-Fu Most of Mr. White's three years In China were spent in th? city of Kwelteh-Fu( In the province of Honan, some 100 fallen In the In terior. He described Kwelteh-Fu aa a city of 75.000 population, which capital of China some j 300 years ago, and which had re-1 slsted most of the Influence* of Occidental progrees. As Illustra tive of the latter point, he de clared that In all Kwelteh-Fu I there were only alx automobile* -| three Fords. two Dodges and a Bulck. With reference to the recent disturbances In China. Mr. White, explslned that alnce the collapse of the empire In 191t, the country had been divided among varftoAs > war lords, there bring five of! these In aacendancy at present. He! described the war lorda as aetuat ed purely by aelffsh motives, and bent on their own aggrandisement , "The Chinese people are kindly disposed, happy, and want only to! be let alone," he declared. "They, can live on almost nothing, and J aren't Interested la the aehemes of their war lorda." In discussing the fighting. Mr. i White stated that very few of the contending soldiery were killed "They have nothing to fight for,"j he aald, "and moat when a victory! la won, you may know that tb?* defeated war lord'a aoldlers havel been bought off by the victor. The | history of China since the fall of the Empire Is a sad tale of sel fishness and military greed. lied KuhnU AmwMlmit "We had hoped for the unifi cation of China through the Na tionalist movement," ho contin ued; "but that looks hopeless now. Tho whole Southern Government, which, until recently at least, haa appeared strongest of all, Is al lied with Russia. Borodin, a Russian adviser, la the brains of that regime, and he and his asso ciates are seeking to make Chine communistic." The Western conception of China as a land having the same language customs and viewpoint everywhere Is altogether at vari ance with what one finds when ho travela about over it, according to Mr. White. "Shanghai la no more typical oi Peking than New York City is typical of Hertford." he declared. "Everywhere one goes, he finds varying dialects. Some tlmea It Is as though one has en countered a brand new language. However, the tongue of the Man da rlana la spoken by the better claas Chinese everywhere. It Is the language of the Manchu Dyn asty, which was overturned In 1912." The condition of women In China Is deplorable, though, In the coast cities at least. It"Is Improv ing. according to tho returned missionary. "Shanghai haa its flappers, with their rouge and bobbed hair," he commented with a smile, "though at preaent the style of skirts there Is extremely long. "Generally speaking, Chinese women are little more than chat tels. They are betrothed anywhere from Infancy to the age of 10, and married at 16 or even earlier." he continued. "The bride always goes to live with her husband ? family, and often her mother-in law makea It very hard for her. She Is little more thsn a slave." Romance ami Trs?eil) Mr. White recalled the tragic case of a young Chlaese girl who had served as a teacher at the Christian mission at Kwelteh-Ku, and whom he described as very beautiful. She had been betrothed years before to an Individual she had never seen, and later had be come deeply attached (o a young silk merchant. He returned the attachment; but the earlier be trothal stood In the way. The girl had threatened to kill herself rather than to marry her fiance, though her family Insisted on the match, and when Mr. White and his family left Kwetteh-Pu, they had not relented. He did not know the outcome of the case. The prevailing religion In China Is spirit worship, according to the missionary, though Huddhisin is exceedingly strong, and temples to the Jpvlal deity of the Indies were to he seen everywhere, tn the former religion, he explained, the Chinese worship two kinds of spliita, the Rhen. or good spirits, and the lawel. or devils. He de scribed Confucianism as a code of ta'havlor and government rather haa a religion.
