to the guard of the commander-fn-
chief. The guard then existing num-
bered 80 virginians and for that rea-
son it was ordered that the new MEM

states. 1t was further prescribed that
the men must be Americans born, 20
to 80 years, five feet eight to i've feet
ten, OF robust constitution; well
limbed and men of established char

ofacial designation of this force was
the commander-in-chiers guard, but
1t was commonly known as the life
guard and Washington's body guard.
Its first commondant was Capt. Caleb
Gibbs of Rhode island. He was in
turn succeeded by William Colfax of
New Jersey. who had been made heu-
tenant of the corps when it was first
brought into being. The motto of the

The cowpea (visna catjang) be-

leguminous plants and is closely re-

Contrary to its name the cowpea is.
in its botanical relations, Of nearer
kin to the bean than to the pea. In
appearance the cowpea plant resem-
bles the bean and like 1t is an annual
very sensitive to frost. The plant
varies in habits of growth from an up

in height with tendrils a few inches
in length, to a mass of low, trailing
vines many feet long. The form Of
the cowpea plant varies not only with
the variety but also with the length

conditions.
When properly cured cowpeas make
an excellent hay. Few farmers realize
that cowpea hay has feeding value

to the best of red clover hay. 1t is
equally as profitable feed as alfalfa.

verified by numerous feeding tests.
The growing of cowpeas has Z
marked influence on the productive
capacity of the soil. The beneficial
effect is due to the increased amount
Of available plant food In the soil and
to its improved physical condition.
The growing of cowpeas may be
said to increase the productive capac
!ty Of the soil: 1st BY increasing
The supply Of nitrogen: End. BY max

BY improving the PHYSICAL condition

The seed bed for cowpeas should
receive as thorough preparation as for
corn. To insure prompt and uniform
termination it is necessary to provide
warm, moist mellow soil. When
peas are planted late in season as q
catch crop after wheat and oats 1t Is
essential to break the land again. This
must be done to get the soil in prop
Or condition for prompt termination
and to retain the moisture.
The method of planting peas win
depend upon whether they are to be
cultivated or not. Where cultivation
is intended they may be planted In
rows varying in width from 20 to A
inches. A common practice among
farmers, and . method we have used
successfully at the Station. is to seed
with an ordinary corn-planter with
drill attachment straddIing each alter
nate row and thus making the rows

a. for corn placing the peas s to 10
inches apart In the row at . depth OF
about two inches or depth sufficient
to insure plenty Of moisture. This
method of planting requires about 8

cost of seed Is about e1uaIled BY the
cost Of the subsequent cultivation.
Where corn planter is not accessible

be used by plugging up all the holes
except each third one.

The next morning when she came

great concern as to the effects of the
