WHAT COW PEAS WILL DO.

II
| Sometime since visited section
In the lower part Of Maryland, a sec.
tion with which I was perfectly ia.
miliar In my boyhood. In my boy.
hood this was pine lumber section
and farming on the sandy soil was al
low ebb. On my recent visit ]
found transformation that seemed
little short Of the miraculous. Men
are making fortunes on land that
was considered almost worthless in
my boyhood. I drove over smooth
shell roads In every direction where
formerly have had a horse tug
through deep sand: and on every side
were magnificent farms with corn
growing az rank as in Kentucky. and
the truckers happy In the return from
their Strawberries. melons and Do
tatees. On one tract Of land that In
my boyhood would hardly have
brought IS an acre saw a splendid
home and great barns, and frames
with Thousands of glass sashes. and
was told that the owner had made
$4,000 last season on his truck.
What pleased me most was to have
men say to me: This transformation
is the result Of your constant advo-
cacy Of the cowpea in your writings
and In your occasional lectures, in
this county" Cowpeas. and crimson
clover In winter. have shown them
that the increase Of humus In their
soil was all that was needed to en-
able them to use commercial fertili-
GERS profitably and lavishly In the
growing Of truck and small fruits.
Northern men are crowding into that
section and buying up the outlying
unimproved lands. after seeing what
has been done by others.
And In the ultimate analysis the
Southern cowpea> is at the very foun-
dalton Of all the advancement there.
All over the South there are equal
opportunities for the profitable use
Of the pea for the feeding OF stock
and the Improvement of the soil. and
with cowpeas and crimson clover any
sandy land In the South can be
brought up to the production Of two
GALES Of cotton per acre while making
proht In the feeding OF live stock.
Even II the crop Is not saved as hay.
the land will receive great benefit,
and the farmer likewise. II the live
stock are only hogs feeding on the
peas and enriching the soil. while
making profit in the bacon produced
and cured on the place.
I have lost none Of my enthusiasm
for the pea. for the longer live the
more am convinced that this "clov-
er Of the South" has still greater
future before 1t for the Southern far
mer. Will you not let 1t help you
make money this year?-Prof. Mas
sey In Progressive Farmer.

together too heavy for their strength,
and when beaten and abused, maxi
ing no sign, except to try again until
they were entirely exhausted. Such
horses are more worthy of a place in
heaven than many Of us who treat
our faithful servants so shamefully.
We talk Of railroads, motor cars,
our great mills and factories, but
how many of the wheels Of industry
would be turning at the end of three
months should the old reliable, hard
working farm horse go out Of SER
vice? The business Of the world
would be at a standstill, grown men
would be fighting for bread: little
children would be dying of starva-
ton, and the land would become a
wilderness. So we see the farm
horse Is the very basis Of our modern
civilization. and his breeding and
care deserve our earnest attention.
The Ideal Farm Horse.
Let me see II I can give an idea
of the sort of animal believe to be
the ideal farm horse. First, let him
have size enough that he may be able
for the tasks that are set for him to
dc (from 1900 to 1.5OO pounds for
ordinary farm), wide-awake at all
times. but not nervous. having the
grit Of a bull dog, and the DISPOSE
tion Of. lamb. knowing no such
word as fear. Always ready for a
square meal. bread and deep in body
with short. strong legs and splendid
large feet.
We have only one animal measur-
Ing up to this type at this time, and
she Is mare above price. A grade
Percheron. bred on the range of Mon
tana, and has never shown a sign of
evil disposition since the day we
first put a halter on her. She will
stand anywhere In town. at the rail-
way station. or on the farm, without
tying. Always speaks to me when
go into the barn and is always spoken
to: weight 1900 pounds; has plowed
her half Of 40 acres Of heavy land
since September last, and is always
in good flesh:
How to Get Animals OF This Type.
We want more of this sort on our
place. and are going to have them, as
one such Is worth any three common,
plugs. We can have this
sort OF horses If we will breed them
right. Take our blocky. clean-limber
LOO to 1900 pound mares and breed
them to an active, good-dispositioned
up-headed, draft horse Weighing L.
500 to 1000 pounds. Then feed the
colts we'll from weaving age to ma
turity. handling them gently and
teaching them to work early. 1 wish
we might have more good, active,
medium-w weight draft stations over
the South, and believe our farmers of
means could do no one thing that
would add more to the wealth and
progress Of our section than to pur-
chase such horses and stand them al
moderate fee in their respective
neighborhOods. Such horses are not
high In price compared with other
sorts. They may be purchased at
from $500 to $1,000 each.
The horse is an expensive animal
on the farm unless kept busy. The
amount of feed consumed daily by a
horse Is not only large. but it is also
very high-priced throughout almost
the entire South. The farm work
and crops should be so planned as to
give as near constant employment to
men and teams as is possible.

the aviation field when Mr.. Wright made
his first try at 6:51. II was stlu hanging
