CORN AND BEANS.

a South Missourian's Experiment. In 8sat
Ing Corn Raising.
Insouth Missouri, on the Ozark noun
tains, corn raising was a rather unsat
isfactory business with us, mainly dine
to the droughty weather of July and
August Among the many experiments
we made to find n way of beating corn
raising none PROMISED so much as the
planting of beans and southern cow
peas in the hills with corn. We gave
each separate trial one year, and will
here outline each separately.
We used large, round, white bean
with round, red spot on one side, that
was climber and gave large amount
OF foliage. The beans and corn were
dropped by hand. three grains of corn
and two beans in the same hill. The
soil was what Missourians called mu-
latto soil. not rich. but in fair condition
and filth. The corn was a small.
white, early variety of Dent, that
yielded well and always grew a solid.
perfect grain, il only nubbin was
found on stalk. The corn and beans
came up perfectly, and grew finely.
The cultivation was such as corn crop
should have, and NO attention was es-
pecially given to the beans, as they
were only meant for a catch crop
The season proved to be q typical
one. July brought hot, dry weather,
as usual, and corn that was cultivated
close curled up badly. One acre of
corn and beans was a part of quite
field of corn, and had all been treated
alike in the cultivation. It is fair TO
mention that a neighbor. a good corn
raiser, and my confident in all expert
ments, objected to the beans being |
planted so quickly, as he feared they
would smother the corn and take the |
moisture and strength of the soil from
the corn.
Now for results. At no time did this
acre OF corn show the effects of the
drought as did the balance of the field.
The corn came into tassel and silk with
the rest Of the field, the ears developed
far better than the remainder of the
held, and it was by far the best acre of
the whole. The foliage of the bean.
shaded the corn-plants, and 1 suspected
that the long tap-roots of the beans
brought up moisture that the corn
roots appropriated. II
Here l had an acre of good corn and
such a show of beans as had never ,
'een before, and did not know just ,
what to do 1t seemed pity to waste ,
he beans, and had never fed beans {
o sheep and cattle, so it was decided {
O cut up the field for fodder, and s
esye this plat until the beans were I

ripe and gathered. This was a mis-.
lake. because l lost all the bean foil
age, which would have been quite an
item in the fodder had supposed
the beans would shell out in handling
the fodder and be waste, which was
NOT SO, even when allowed to fully
ripen.
| Those who may have had experiences
IN manipulating an acre of corn-field
beans may smile at my pains. It was
Dig job, but got fourteen bushels of
sheiied beans, and enough were left
to show what few beans and n great
lot OF bean-vines, if the leaves were
gone, would do for corn fodder. The
critters" enjoyed them greatly.
Inc other experiment was on ten
rows twenty rods long, of Stowell's
evergreen sweet corn. The corn was
planted in drills, with cow-peas
mixed about half and half.
thicker than 1 would do again.
This was planted in one of the gardens:
the soil was strong. This was intend
ed Tor green forage for the cows if the
grass failed in the fall The variety
OF corn was bad choice, as il got its
growth and dried up long before the
cow-peas stopped growing. The corn
did well, but the cow-pea vines finally
took possession and covered nm the
whole thing, and tied everything into
Z" fearful mass l don't think / ever
saw so much forage on the same area
OF land before in all my life, and it was
worth all it came to to cut and haul it

best, and was relished by all stock. A l
small part of it was put in the barn.
and was as much of a treat to the cat
tie in the winter as it had been when
green in the fall.
by these two experiments found il
was possible to grow two crops at the
same time, on the same land, without
ietriment to either. The beans and
.ow-peas fully doubled the amount of
orage that would have been obtained
and at no additional cost of

The raising of live stock should be a
