Velvet Beans-Mucuna Utilis (Wall)
This valuable plant has been grown
extensively i'm this State during the
past year. Our agricultural press has
been filed with accounts of it's supe-
rior excellence. The plant is still on
tria.., but promises to become a rival
to- our best varieties of cowpeas,
wherever it can be grown. Unfortsl-
nately it is not yet we'll acclimated,
so far as the production of seed is con-
cerned, since an early frost last year
destroyed many immature pods. BY
planting very early and using some
tree, house bush, or arbor upon which
the vines can climb, the seeds can be
matured before frost. Gradually by
acclfma t,;on and selection, it is believ-
ed it's cultivation can be successfully
extended even north OF This State. AS
it requires para'tively few seeds
per acre, planted as usually done, II
rows from -four feet wide and two
feet apart in the drill, it is worthy oil
extensive cultiva ton even for its enor
NOUS vines, which can be easily cur

is an enormous nitrogen gatherer. a.
ANALYSIS elsewhere shows. The tuber'
cIes on its roots are the Largest Of any

alike clusters of tnbercles, each as
large as a hens egg, have been gath

of them by Mr.. Clarke, station chem
list, at State Experiment Station, Bd
ton Rouge, La, showed six per cent
of nitrogen. The vines may be curet
into hay or turned under easily with
disc p,ow. In summer Old leaves
are replaced by new ones and the
ground underneath the vines, be-
comes covered with dead leaves, anal
