COWPEA CULTURE.
Plant Between Corn Rows and After
Small Grain IL Cut In June.

SuldlI TRAIN Out
The place in the rotation usually as
signed to cowpeas is that of partia
crop planted between the corn rows q
the last or next to the last cultivation
or else that Of second crop on tn
land where oats, wheat OF rye has beer
harvested. 1t is not putting the matte
too strongly to say that so per cent o.
the acreage of corn in Alabama should
that at least so per cent of the ares
| from which small grain is cut in MAY
and June should be planted in COW
peas.
On sandy upland where the corr
rows are five feet apart we prefer tc
plant the cowpeas in single drill halt
way between the lines of corn and tc
plant at the next to the last cultivation
SO that the last cultivation serves also
to give the cOwpeas start. On good
bottom land, well supplied with mois-
ture, we prefer to SOW cowpeas broad
cast in corn, and this, of course, can
be done only at the time of the last
cultivation.
On rich land care should be taken
that the sowing of cowpeas, especially
OF the running varieties, does not take
place so early that the corn crop will
be overrun by the vines. Avoidance of
this trouble lies either in late planting
or in the use of the bunch varieties.
In drilling cowpeas between the corn
rows we obtain more uniform start
by employing the planter than by drop
ping the seed by hand in the first or
center scrape furrow and covering with
the two siding burrows of the scrape
run next to the corn.
We have employed numerous meth
DDS Of planting cowpeas after small
grain. Since work is pressing Mt this
season and the soil sufficiently moist
for blowing only for relatively brief
periods our usual policy is to plant the
seed without waiting to make thorough
preparation.
There is room for considerable inge-
nuity in determining the best method
Of completing the preparation and Civ
ing the first cultivation. One of the
most important aims to be kept in view
In this is to keep the land nearly level
so that the plants may better resist |
drought and so that a mower may be
used. After the first cul-
when this serves also as
partial breaking. only the heel scrape
Or other shallow working implement
should be used.
The usual amount of seed is one to
)ne and half bushels when sown
broadcast and about half a bushel per
lcre when planting in drills far enough
part to permit cultivation.
The grain drill, with all tubes open or
With part of them stopped, is some
lines used in planting cowpeas.-J. F.
)uggas, Alabama.

The man on the stage who does the
trick of escaping from firmly tied ropes,
submits to the bonds with a smile. He
knows he can get out OF the ropes that
are being knotted. Put the same man in
the woods and let Indian caPtors bind
him to tree for torture and he would
struggle to the last against the bonds.
When the stomach is diseased there
are bonds being woven every hour about
the organs dependent on the stomach
heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. The
folly Of mankind is to passively submit
to the fastening of these bonds with no
effort to escape until the pain they cause
arouses fear.

A NAIVE OF ERIN SPEAKS
Wages Paid in Cash 0nce in Seventeen Vars
Company Stor,--3oy Working 10 Pay
De bs Ct Father Killed in
the Mines.
(By the Associated Press)

Scranton. Pa. Dec. 6.-Thc miners
having finished their attack on the com
panies' mines in the Hazelton region. to-
day turned the attention OF The Coal
Strike Commission TO The colicrics ol
q. B. Markle and Company. in the same
locality. The witnesses for the mine
workers scored what appeared 10 be tell
ing points with regard 10 wages and other
conditions prevailing in the mines OF this
INDEPENDENT company.
The attorney for tho company was not
prepared to cross-cXaminc the witnesses
on all things they testified TO. and The
commission has granted the company the
, privilege OF recalling the witnesses TO
the stand for the purpose or cross-qucs-
tioning them on some OF the statements
made today.
The principal witness called against
the Markles was james Gallagher. Who
worked in the Markle mines for thirty
years. He claimed the wages were so low
that he was always in debt to tho com
pany, and that in seventeen years he
only once received money in wages and
that VAS $50. He further testified thar
nc had TO deal at the company store. the
J only place where the miners could get
credit, and that the prices were from
ten TO twenty per cent higher than in
other places. He said he has made largo
wage and wiped out his debts. but Tho
company would then given him such 4
bad work that he would Immediately
go into debt again. He was ovictcd from
his house and refused work, but he did
not know why employment was not given
him.
me witness, who is about sixty years
OF age. and a native Of ireland. kept the
court constantly in good humor by his
Wit and sharp answers to thrustS bv tho
lawyers. He said a man is never called
hurt in the mines until he IS h~alf-killcd.
He was half-killed twice. he said. which
brought out the remark from Chairman
Gray that if he was twice half-killed then
he was now dead. This caused much
merriment, but it was turned into a
roar OF laughter when the witness replied
that the first half was healed before the
other half was injured.
A tWelve-year-old breaker boy was
called to the stand and gave testimony to
show that he YVES working at the Marklc
mines TO pay off the debt incurred bv
his father. who was killed in the mines
eighteen months ago. He received no
pay,
lie received no pay, but was given due
bills, showing how much his mother owed
the company. The due-bills also showed
that the debt his mother was mourning
such as house rent, etc., was growing
faster than he could reduce il as he was
only getting four cents an hour.
Unless some agreement is reached on
many Of the points at issue ii is likely
the hearings viii run into next month.
While settlement talk still is heard here,
nothing of an authoritative nature has
come to the surface. There is still a be-
lief prevalent that an agreement on some
points Will be arrived at before the COM
mission is ready to make its award.
