The farmers found the growing of velvet beans profitable as a forage, feed and pas turage, but when they reached the limit of their own needs there was no market for their surplus crop. How ever, along came the establishment of local mills for grinding the beans in to commercial feed. That created a market for velvet beans and . in the southwestern states the mills last win ter supplied large quantities of feed to the cattle and sheep ranches of the northwest country. In Alabama last year the National Feed Milling Company was organixed in o-der to mill and distribute a bal anced stock ration consisting of pro portions of velvet bean meal, cotton seed meal and cracked corn. Possi bly the company has gotten down to business this season. Its plan was to organize and install local mills in the various states and concentrate their products for commercial distri bution by the carload. It was a splen did idea and it can be carried out oa lines in which there are great possi bilities, not only for the domestie trade but for the export trade. It seems that its success depends on growers and grinders, and the Atlan ta Constitution says the increasing importance of the velvet bean indus try in Georgia is indicated by the movement now in progress for the or ganization of a state bean millers as sociation, the preliminary steps for which were recently' taken at a meet ing of millers at Macon. The Consti tution says in, an editorial: "An association of this kind is al ready in operation in Alabama with marked benefits to its members and the need of such an association in Georgia was stressed at the Macon meeting by actual experiences told by the velvet bean millers attending. Many millers have had difficulty in selling their output, although there is a tremendous demand, both existing and latent, for their product. Not on ly has the price of feedstuffs ad vanced greatly of late, but thousands of head of livestock were formerly fed on the refuse from breweries and distilleries, and with these either out of operation or greatly restricted in their output, this feed supply is rap idly disappearing. For it some sub stitute must be found, and there is none better than the ground product of the velvet bean grown as a by product in our southern corn fields; yet, Jhrough the difficulty of harmoniz ing supply and demand, our vital sup ply of feedstuffs is restricted, the growers and grinders of velvet beans are discouraged, and their activities are retarded "On 3 trouble that the millers have had to face has been the lack of stand ardization of the product, so that pur chasers have been uncertain as to the quality of the feed that they might be getting. Another is that the freight rates for tris new product have not been adjusted and it has been found that they are unduly discriminatory against Georgia points, although Ala bama, through the activities of the state association there, much more favorable 'rates are in operation. Al so, the real value of velvet bean meal as a food has not yet become general ly known. All these conditions indi cate the fields of activity open to the association and the character and val ue of the work waiting to be done by it." ' Those troubles ought to be easily eliminated by the combination of mil lers, and not only that, they will be in a position to handle distribution on a large scale and also to introduce the new feedstuff by means of govern ment endorsement given years ago as to the feed value of velvet bean meal, cottonseed meal and cracked corn. The combination feed is the best and if it if standardized, an industry of huge proportions can be built up In the South. At Orangeburg , South Carolina, there is a considerable bean milling industry, and doubtless there are a numb of grinders in North Carolina. The Star would be interested in ascer taining just how many bean millers there aro in this state. Some years ago this paper pointed out that a great southern Industry could be de veloped out of the adaptabilities of the south for producing feedstuffs in abundance and on a commercial scale. A GROCER'S CANNERY The Wilcox Grocery Company, of Globe, Arizona, is getting a great deal of publicity all over America for a novel but perfectly practical conser vation idea. " In view . of the fact that the town of Globe bad no canning es tablishment, that enterprising grocery concern established a private cannery in connection with its store and is put ting up its own brands of canned goods, which it proposes to sell and guarantee as good as. the very best that can be produced in any American cannery. The company's main idea was to can all of its left over fruits and vege tables and thus keep them from going to waste. It is stated that as soon as a crate of any kind of fruit or vege table shows sighs of decay, the stuff is removed to a rear room where It is sorted and canned. The Wilcox store employs three women to do the can ning and is eliminating all the possible waste it has experienced in handling large quantities of fruits for the trade. Of coarse, the store's cannery enables the concern to offer a larger market for the fruit and vegetable production of the surrounding country. ' Doubtless that private cannery will develop in to a regular cannery, .for the company has arranged to add equipment in or der to carry on the operations proper ly and according to the best methods.; Any large grocery f concern r '-might easily conduct its own cannery, or the grocers of any town could cooperate and operate a canning factory on mod erin lines.-..; Many ? of; the,- larger, con cerns in ' the United 1 States manuf ac large scale. Soma of tho largest .whole sale . groceries in - this country operate a half dozen different kinds of fac tories to make their own goods. MAXWELL, THE WTXBUNGTON1AN The Star yesterday presented a picture ot Allan J. Maxwell now act ing chairman of the North Carolina Corporation Commission and who is the Democratic state nominee for that re sponsible office. Mr. Maxwell is a Wil mingtonnJan and his elevation to a po sition of greater usefulness and more influence in the state gives immense satisfaction down here where we all known the man. However, Mr. Maxwell is known all oyer the state, and the appreciation of his capabilities and the honor that he has won gives complete satisfaction from the sea to the mountains. For years Mr. Maxwell has been a very large part of the State Corporation- Commission as its eminently able and well qualified secretary. Previously he became known to many public men of the state as secretary of tfie state senate. As secretary of the Corpora tion Commission he became very wide ly known for his efficiency as the right-hand' man of T Chairman E. I Travis of the commisslo'n, and especial ly for'lhe comprehensive and vigorous aid he gave to the statewide fight for just freight rates for North Carolina. In that fight he added:to his' reputation and greatly impressed the leading men of the state with his fine abili ty and splendid service. There is no wonder, therefore, that when Chairman Travis resigned re cently. Governor Bickett promptly ap pointed Mr. Maxwell to the vacancy. Following that signal recognition by the governor of the great state of North Carolina, the . state democratic committee at its meeting in Raleigh placed Mr. Maxwell's name on the dem ocratic state ticket as the party's nom inee for state corporation commission er. That is one nominee for which men of all parties can vote, for Maxwell's experience in that branch of the state's service makes him conspicuously the man for commissioner. MAYBE MR. SCHWAB WOULD DO IT The numerous calls on the govern ment to do something, reminds us to say that when people think of some thing they want the government to do, nine times out of ten it is something the people ought to do themselves. Furthermore, if it is a good thing for the government to do, the people ought to do it first, since it is a good opportunity for them do It better than a lot of government officials can do it. Politicians in office are not supposed to do things as well as business men can do them. That's precisely the reason that when the government wants something done, it calls on business men and gives them a dollar to do It for the government. Instead of wanting "the government tTdo- lC why not "give Mr. Schwab another dol lar and ask him to get on the job? WHAT IF EDITORS HAD YOU TO DEAL WITH! Of course, if editors had autocracy thrust on them. The Star is satisfied that they would be benevolent su premests, in spite of what the most highly esteemed Richmond Journal intimates when it says: "Kerenslcy's promised visit to the United States has been Indefinitely postponed. It is just as well. When the former Russian premier neglected to order those arch traitors, Lenine and Trotsky, to face a firing squad, Americans lost interest in him. He may be a patriot, but of the inverte brate order, It Is suspected." To hear American editors talk, one would be prepared to believe that if they were at the head of a government they would have some bloke shot most any old morning like any ordinary au tocrat, not to say despot. However, we are satisfied that if editors had su preme authority In any country they would be oareful about ordering Tom, Diek and Harry to be stood up against the walL A professional man said yesterday that he wished he were either a first class carpenter or a skilled mechanic so he could be useful as well as orna mental and get paid well for it at that.

"NURSES ARE WANTED" To the Editor of The Star: I am using the title that headed an article . in Wednesday's Star. The nurs sing profession has for 'a great man) years worked hard to reach the pro ficiency it has attained. Tne first twen ty years of nursing as a profession, the term of training was two years. It was found, by ."the most capable, and efficient women who had taken the course that two years is not sifflcient Ltime to train a nurse in all ' she has to learn, so this course was length ened first to two and a half and then to three years. A . nurse has not only the physical but the mental care of the patient and ,three years- is not too long to equip her in every way. "Nurses are wanted," and wanted badly "over there" by our boys, and each graduate who can should go to care for them. One authority has ad vocated people using hospitals when they are ill instead of having private nurses, and there is no question they will have to be used more with so many nurses gone. In consequence the senior nurses in training will have more responsibility (with fewer grad uates for ill patients and more patients) and. more training of junior nurses to do. So women high in the pro fession feel if the course is made two years the Work of years, of women all over the word, in raising our standard, will be wasted and even tually the training schools will have to be closed for lack of responsible nurses. All through the whole country there is the crying need for probation ers to enter the training school. There are so many positions, open to untrained and unskilled women that a great many: who before the war would have entered training, are now going in to something that will pay them sooner. Therefore, any nurse who is in training should finish and work hard and encourage every other women "ahe thinks fitted to enter the hospital to do so. For I am sure every probationer now in our hospitals will have the opportunity to da "her bit" before the war is over , and if peace is declared there will be re construstive work for several years to come. COLUMBIA MUNDS, R. N. CURRENT COMMENT. Mr. J. O. Foy, a veteran newspaper man of this state, died Wednesday in the hospital at New Bern after a few days of illness, following an attack at the heart. Mr. Foy was a brother of the late C. H. Foy, of New Bern. He was quite well known to the older newspaper men of North Carolina, having been the i founder of the Win-sron-Salem "Journal and having en gaged in the profession at several places in the state. Kinston News. Secretary of State Grimes is promot ing a scheme whereby some of the thousands of acres of idle lands in North Carolina Will be brought into productivity through a system of homesteading farmer soldiers. North Carolina has the land and the coun try will have the soldiers after the war ends. The land, it might be stated, ia .virgin, and of. the richest character. It-;, has never been brought 'into ;utili zation merely because of the fact that the state has hot made proper effort to secure settlers and there are not enough people in the state to take care of theland. Colonel Grimes has sprung a practical proposition and we hope he will persevere in it. There is no question about -the fact that he will have -the assistance of the North Caro lina delegation in Congress and it would prove a blessing to the state if he should succeed in having his home steading scheme ready against the re turning of the soldiers. Charlotte Observer. The Wilmington Star calls atten tion to the fact that since the latest German offensive was begun, all sorts of rumors are current in that city and that many of the people have become unduly excited by these.: The same Condition prevails in- New Bern and has occurred every time that an of fensive has been pulled off. Yester day we heard on. the streels that the Germans had literally slaughtered the American forces and when the narra tor of the story .Was quizzed as to where he had secured his information he replied to the effect that a man coming in on the train from the west had heard It at Wilson and that it came over one of the railroad's tele graph wires. As a matter of fact the majority of the3e rumors are origin ated by pro-Germans and are f abrica tions pure and simple.' The Associated Press is constantly in touch with the war situation an-, when anything hap pens the Associated Press can be de pended upon to "have the news and If it fails' to tell of any "terrible slaugh ters" or "great disasters," it is an as sured fact that such have not occur red. The newspapers, or at least the majority of them, In the United States, are. giving the people the correct news these days and giving them plenty of It, and all rumors should be discount ed and no attention' i aid to them un less the press Verifies them.
