CowpEAs FOR SEED.
A Profitable Crop in the Central
South Where the Demand Is
Steadily on the Increase.

AS the great value of the cowpea has
become more generally known, its cul-
tivation has increased until it has be-
come staple crop all over the southern
half of the United States. Each year
the demand for seed increases and the
price is uniformly high. In view Of
these facts it will no doubt pay many
farmers who have never grown any
seed to do so this year.
The cowpea, like the other legumes,
has the ability to furnish the nitrogen
for it's own growth, and to stir up much
in the soil beside. This enables it to
make large crops on soils deficient in
nitrogen. But it requires plenty of
phosphoric acid and potash to grow
good crop of seed.
On some trial plats had last sum-
mer the application of from 300 to Go
pounds of acid phosphate per acre in

per cent over the unfertilized plats.
When 100 to 200 pounds of muriate of
potash was added TO the phosphate,
the average increase was II per cent.
over the unfertilized plat. The great
est profit came from the use of 300
pounds of acid phosphate. The soil was
a clay of dolomite formation. Of course
these results will not apply to all soils;
but nearly all will pay profit on the
use of acid phosphate for this crop.
Peas for seed should be planted thick
ly in rows is inches or 2 feet apart,
when the soil has become thoroughly
warm. They should be kept clean Of
weeds by several shallow cultiya tones.
A yield of 10 to Is bushels per acre
might be expected on average soil in
an average season. Twenty bushels
per acre is good yield, although have
heard of 30 bushels being grown. AS

per bushel in the spring, the crop is
very profitable one, especially when
the seed is hard to get, as it usually is.

SEED CORN ESSENTIALS.
The Years Success Depends on Hav-
ing Good Seed on Hand ut
Planting Time.

There are many essential points to be
vigorously observed in either selecting
or buying seed corn. In selecting from
ones own fields the earliest maturing
and most perfect ears only should be
saved, and when variety commences
to lose its dominant characteristics it
is time to get fresh seed. In sending
away for seed, buy that grown in near
ly the same latitude as your own, or if
any change is made go a little north in
preference to south. Understand your
fields. Don't plant large cared white
sorts in fields better adapted to medi-
UNI size yellow sorts. The first move
ment toward making a corn cropis this
matter of correct selection of seed.
The quality of the seed is the next i'm
portant thing. Do not be satisfied with
"stock" (crib' seed corn. Be willing to-
pay good fair price, and then demand
BILE growers or dealers and always or
der part of it at least in ear. Then you
are planting with your eyes open
you know what to expect. Prof. Shamel
says on this question: "By highly-bred
seed is meant seed that is the very
highest representative of the i'm
proved type. In other words, those ears
which as nearly as possible represent
the ideal ear. AS every ear is different
from every other ear, there can never
be large number of such ears. How
ever, this very fact of wide variation
makes the Improvement of yarities pos
sible. If there was no variation from
which selection could be made there
could be no improvement. 1t is by Sc
lecting those ears which vary in the
direction desired and discarding the
poor ears that general advance canbe
made" Having made wise selection
and secured seed that will test for ger
mination IS to 90 per cent, one need
have but little anxiety over the outcome
of his corn crop. Does it pay to plant
well-bred seed? Might as well ask:
Does it pay to buy good, pure-bred
bull. Seed of established varities have
prominent and valuable Characters
tics. These characteristics, such as
well-shaped ear, butts and tips we'll COW
cred, rows compact and kernel set deep
in the cob, give solidity and weight to
the crop. Take such variety as Reds
Yellow Dent-especially when the deep
er dent strain is secured. 1t will grow
uniformly good-sized ears, deep grain
and the cob is we'll covered. It's full
value is not apparent to the naked eye;
but the scales always tell in its favor.
This seed corn question is the most i'm
portant one before American farmers
this year. The success of your farm
ing and feeding operations depend
upon good corn crop. See to it that
good, reliable seed is on hand al plant
ing time.-Prairie Farmer.

TIMBER CONSUMPTION.
1t Is So Enormous That Systematic
Forest Culture Must Soon BE
ResOrted To.

In the United States 4,OOO,OG0 feet
of pine lumber arc used every year for
matches, or the equivalent of the
product of 400 acres of good virgin
forest. About 620,00o,oOO cross ties
are now laid on American railroads,
and 9O,O00,000 new ties are required
annually for renewals. The amount
of timber used every year for ties
alone is equivalent to 100000 feet of
lumber. There are now standing
100000 telegraph poles. The aver
age life of telegraph pole is about
ten years, SO that nearly 100000 new
poles are required every year for re-
newals. These figures do not include
telephone poles and the poles required
on new railway lines. The total an
nual consumption of timber for ties
and poles is equivalent to the amount
of timber grown on 100000 acres of
good virgin forest. For making shoe
pegs the amount of wood used in
single year is equal to the product of
fully $500 acres of good second
growth hardw cd land. Lasts and
boot trees require at least 100000
cords more. Most newspaper and
packing paper is made from wood.

for paper during that time has been
