Cowpeas in the Corn.

The use of cOwpeas as a crop
to be sown in the corn is destined
to become more and more common
in Missouri Corn alone is very
wearing on the land as every Que
knows, and with the increasing
value of farm lands way must
be found to keep up the fertility
at the same time that the farmer
is making a money return per
acre. Crop rotation is naturally
first essential in this building
Iup and maintaining of the fertili-
ty, but to improve the land most
rapidly use must be made Of eX-
ira large crops thrown in between
regular crops to add nitrogen and
humus. Cowpeas can be used IN
this way the most readily of any
crop grown in Missouri and with
very great prOIlt.
A knowledge of handling cow
peas in the corn is necessary to
success. Many men have attempt
ed this practice and have failed
because of improper methods of
handling. The common practice
is to SOW them broadcast in the
corn at the last cultivation at the
rate of two to three pecks per
acre and while this is satisfactory
over a great deal Of the southern
part of the state it is not so sat
isfactory on central and northern
Missouri lands. This practice is
particularly adapted to the low
lands of southeast Missouri. On
the uplands, however, one fire.
quently fails to get a stand when
putting them in this way. \
better practice is to use a one
horse drill, putting them in at the
time Of the last blowing. On
some lands this drilling will give
sufficient cultivation to take place
of the last blowing of the corn
In any case the corn should be
laid by a little earlier than usual
stand. The variety to use in this
case is TIE New Era as first
choice and Whippoorwills as a
second choice. COwpeaS may be
!.sown in the row with the corn
quite satisfactorily and this is he
coming quite common. They arc
either mixed in the planter box
using about | 1-2 times as many
peas as corn, or they may be ?u!
| in with special cOwpea attach
nent to the corn planter, The
latter method is much to be pre-.
ferred as it will give a more even
stand of both corn and peas. One
difficulty in handling peas in this
way is due to the fact that the
towpeas are badly stunUed should
cold spell Of weather come after
they are up. As Il matter of Fact
it is usually better to poSIpon'
corn planting until the last bal:

cowpeas are to be put in the row
The best variety for this purpose
depends upon the use that is to be
made of them. If they are 10 be

aero race from st. Louis to Kan
sas City, and Mexico is on the
map.
The meeting of the Kansas City
and st. Louis committees was
held in Governor Hadley's office
The governor was erected chair
man and Louis w. Shouse of Kan
sas City, secretary, John II
Curran explained that $4,000
had been pledged for prize
money and that the full amount
will be on deposit before the pres
ent week is passed.
Governor Hadley said that as
long as the prize money had
actually been obtained, he ,iAn t
see that there was much for the
committees to do except to nan,
subcommittee and empower the
same to make all necessary ar
rangements. 1t was agreed that
July Is be fixed as the date and
that the flight between st. Louis
and Kansas City must be made
within thirty-siX hours to entitle
any contestant to either first. see
ond or third prize for the entire
flight.
There was a long discussion
over the route of the flight, in
which nearly every one present
took part. Governor Hadley
expressed decided preference
for a route that would include
jefferson City. lie said that a
man sailing 200 of more feet up
in the air need not care for the
topography of the country I'M
derneath him.
Mr.. Britt0n of st. Louis gave a
talk on this subject and convinced
the governor that it does make a
great deal of difference to the
man guiding an aeroplane or even
a balloon when something goes
wrong and he is forced to alight
without reference to where he
must light. He said that
Knabenshue and Harris. agents
of the Wright Bros. who have
lately been looking over a line for
a flight from New York to Los
Angeles, examined several rOut IS
for crossing Missouri and decide
that the best one would be north
of the Missouri River, keeping
pretty close to the Wabash tracks
from st. Charles to Brunswick.
and from the latter point straight
to Kansas City.
Mr.. Strange of Kansas City said
he had received telegram from
Glenn Curtiss saying that he dc,
sired to take part in the flight
across the state. and would like to
have the privilege Of selecting his
own route Mr.. Strange said he
was not in favor of permitting
that. He also said that he had
heard from j. c. Mars, who also
expects to he competitor, but
the latter said nothing about the
route.
Mr.. Curran said he believed
there would be at least eight
aeroplanes in the races and he was
satisfied that the Wright Bros
will be competitors, unless some
route Objectionable to them i,
selected.
Still sticking to jefferson City
as being on the aeroplane map Of
the state. Governor H a d
ley suggested that a route be fiXeC
under which the contestants woulC
leave st. Louis, cross the Missouri
River near st. Charles, and after
sailing around in the vicinity o
WarrentOn and Fulton, cross the
river again at jefferson City, an

While a definite route was no
agreed upon, the preponderance o
