Up 20 9 o'clock of Saturday morning

for us to make the grand rounds. But
we would like for them to register

Cow Pease, Sow 'Em.
The original home of the cow pea
was doubtless India, but this isn't the
reason why it is the king of soil r.
stores, nor is it necessary to inquire
why: sow all and plant all you can.
Acid is the thing for COW pease. Amo-
mated guanos are emphatically not
the things to use under this legume.
TRY q sack or half sack Of acid ON an
acre of cow pease and you will be as
tonished at the luxuriance OF the vines
and the abundance of the peasc. Sup
pose we should tell you of a man who
made and gathered 30 bushels of un-
Known peas from one acre to say moth
ing of the vines, and this after anoth-
er crop?
