What merry games we used to

says: '1f anyone thinks the
split-log drag is no good, all he
has to do to be disillusioned is
to go north of town, where two
farmers put the drag on their

that road calls down blessings

The Value of cOWpeas on the Northeast
Missouri Prairie Soil

- FNAN~ VI WV RS%S CA hHS
Northeast Missouri prairie is
not appreciated by the average |
farmer. The cost of seed and
the fact that frequent failures
have resulted owing to having
planted them too early togeth.
er with a prevailing IDEA that |
they are hard to cure as hay |
has prevented their being grown |
to any great extent. However,
on the flatter phases of this ter
ritory where clover freezes out
there is no crop which offers
greater possibilities for improv
Ing the soil as we'll as for bring
ing a return at the same time
Even on the more rolling up
lands where clover can be
grown with success, the use of
cowpeas as catch crop sown in
between the regular crops ia a
rotation will be found of very
great value
Cowpeas will give practical
ly the same benefit to the soil
in three months when sown and
pastured off as clover will in
sixteen months, and with the
present prices of clover seed
the cost of seeding is not much
different. If cowpeas are put
in from the middle to the last
of June in most of this region
with a grain drill on a seed bed
prepared as for corn, sowing
them at the rate OF from three
to four pecks per acre a large
amount Of most valuable forage
may be secured. Experiments
on the various experimental
fields which the State Expert
ment Station is conducting IN
this region have shown that the
popular outcry against cowpeas
not being profitable is entirely
unfounded. There is no other
crop that affords the opportuni-
ty for soil building on the worn,
fat prairie of Northeas+ Mis-
souri,. %<<$ s.,
The varieties of peas. best
adapted for general use are the
Whippoorwill where medium
early vining and medium seed
producing pea is desired aud
the New Era where an early
erect and heavy seed producing
variety is wanted. The New
Era usually makes the best hay
because it stands erect aud is
more easily handle. For SOW
ing in the corn at the last cult
walton the New Era is also to be
recommended. They are best
put IN IN this case with one
horse grain drill sown between
the rows at the rate of two or
three pecks per acre. They
may also be broadcasted and
cultivated in but this is less
certain. On dry seasons peas
sswn in the corn in this way
sometimes fail to make much
growth but on average seasons
if they are drilled in they make
a large amount of pasture for
hogs or sheep and build up the
soil greatly at the same time.
Peas may also be sown with
the corn in the row or hill where
early variety of corn is used
and planted rather late. For
this purpose a pea like the
black which is a good seed pro.
Queer and quite vining in nat
ure is we'll adapted. Peas may
also be sown in rows and culti-

SURF REGATTA
FOR FLEET VISIT

The Outrigger Club is laying plans
to pull off it's big regatta of the year
during the visit of the cruiser fleet.
It is hoped that Hiio will enter some
of its catamaran canoes, which the
club will meet with one of its own
construction.
A number of valuable cups and
prizes have already been offered to be
competed for, and the club hopes to
raise sufficient cash prizes to induce
all the islands to send competing canoes
and crews
One plan is to hold series of night
events, some of the canoes burning red
lights, others green, and others blue.
1t is even contemplated placing stor-
age batteries in some of the larger
canoes and outlining their shapes in
color.
Experiments are being made with a
x-candlepower light and dry battery
at the end of a surfboard to throw
the figure of the standing rider out
plainly. There is promise of success
and the hope of night surfboard con
test unique in the annals of surfing in
Hawaii.
The club membership is still growing
daily. Lockers are now at the service
of members and frames for locking
surfboards of individuals are being
built. Nearly every small boy living
at Waikiki has invested of late in
Hawaiian canoe, and the repair shop
of the Outrigger Club presents lively
scene. A canoe for beginners use has
been purchased by the club, so that
boys living in mauka may now have
the advantage of practise in the art
of padding or catching the big waves.
New canoes will be purchased by the
club and crews formed from the differ
ent schools in town to man them and
defend the honors of the club at the
coming regatta during feet time.

GAG. CHALLENGE
EXPLAINED
Williams Photo.

There has been considerable misun-
derstanding in junior league circles re
Gently over an article which appeared
in the Advertiser, stating that the G.
A. Cs. had challenged the Santa Claras
to game and that the challenge had
been accepted.
1t should be explained that this
challenge was made in friendly talk
between Chi Bui and Manager McKen.
x;e of the Santa Claras. 1t seems that
there has been much criticism of the
G. A. Cs. along the river for thinking
that they were good enough to play
the visitors, and some of the other
/, teams have said their say on the mat
ter at street corners and on the house
tops. -' 4ss ~ n ~ ia aaa
The whole matter may be explained
in few words. Mr.. Vierra was the
mouthpiece of an idea to play a double
headeryat the ball park, the main event
to be between picked team of River
siders and the Santa Claras, and pre-
hminary game between the Chinese
Athletic Club boys and the Keios.
Everybody in town Endorsed the idea
and it remains only for Mr.. Isenberg s
final sanction before the date is ar
ranged.
When Mr.. Bui and Mr.. Mckenzie
were chatting, Mr.. Mckenzie said that
he would be only too glad to play the
C. A. Cs, and friendly challenge was
made and accepted. The G. A. Cs. had
no idea of presupposing that they
would defeat the Keios and were most
certainly not trying to butt themselves
in by challenging the Santa Claras.
The item was published purely and
simply as a piece of news, and we re-
greet that it should have led to tea
kettle storm along the river.

LIGHTWEIGHTS
MAY BOX HERE

Local fight fans may be treated to
a good bout in the near future. There
is every probability that Charlie Reilly
of San Francisco will be matched to
meet Jack McFadden at 128 pounds
ringside. The latter had made all ar
rangements to go TO the Coast and
train Abe Attell for his go with Owen
Moran, but. if sufficient inducements
are. made, he win stay long enough to
go on with Reilly.
Eddie TAFT has the negotiations in
charge and has great hopes of Undue
ing the little Irishman to stay. IF he
does so there will be a fine scrap when
the two little men get together in the
ring. -i.<-.-s
Both these lads are in the upper
grade of the preliminary fighters class
and there is championship possibil-
ity in both of them. Reilly has made
name for himself by defeating Tom
Murphy, who fought Eddie Hanlon in
San Francisco recently, and Jack Nc
Fadden has a string of knockouts as
long as your arm to his credit.
Should this bout be pulled off, the
management has promised bunch of
fast preliminaries, and good show
would be the result The local fight
bugs are buzzing pretty strongly and
some clean sport would be very well
come. The word clean, however, must
be spelled with big c, but, in the
hands of a man with a record like
Eddie TAFT, there is every reason to
believe that it would be so.

ing both teams to the Islands and then
Hilo steps in and takes advantage of
this progressive action on the part of
our league. When Hilo requested that
the Keios should visit them, the league
made no objection, but courteously as
scented. 1t is probable that the Hilo-
ties felt very virtuous in that they did
not ask Honolulu to pay part or all
of the expenses of the trip.
The Santa Clara boys will take their
suits with them in case the Hilo man
agement sees things in different light
and agrees to some kind of sports
manlike proposition. But, unless they
are willing to agree to an equitable
proposition, the visitors will see the
volcano and make the trip entirely at
the expense of the Honolulu Baseball
League, and will not play ball in Hilo.
Mr. Falk wrote to Mr.. Wise, presl-
dent of the Hilo Baseball League, on
July 81 He asked if the Hilo people
would pay the expenses of the Santa
Claras to Hilo, as he wished them to
see the volcano and knew that they
would be a great drawing card in Hilo.
Mr.. Wise replied that be would be
glad to have the Santa Claras visit
Hilo, but they would have to stay
longer, SO as to play more games. Ii
that could be arranged, he would be
glad to call a meeting of the league
to discuss the matter.
Mr.. Falk then replied stating the
circumstances with reference to Homo
lrlu having put up the money for the
Santa Claras visit and being behind
on the proposition. He explained that
he was very anxious to have the boys
see the volcano and put it up to the
Uiloites to be sportsmen and come
through with the expenses for the trip.
Mr.. Wise S reply was the following
wireless: Picked nine viii play Santa
Claras August sixth. Ground cost fifty
or twenty-five per cent. receipt; advise
latter. After all expenses paid you re-
ceive balance Wire if date and con
ditions satisfactory.
Mr.. Falk s reply was: "Wire am
biguous will accept seventy per
cent. gross
Then Mr.. Wise sent the following:
Grounds cost fifty dollars; other ex-
penses about twenty-five dollars. You
may have balance, Answer, giving
date"
Mr.. Falk IS reply to the above was
short and to the point: ''Santa Claras
leave Tuesday, fourth, volcano, without
baseball Hilo.'
1t is interesting to note that the
Hilo kilograms are very much more
polk than those sent from here. 1t
is needless to state that they were
sent collect.
