Methods of Planting Cowpeas After
Oats.

A correspondent in Marion County,
Alabama. asks whether eowpeas after
oats should be sown broadcast or
planted in drills and cultivated.
There is no one best method OF
planting cowpeas after oats. Gen
orally prefer to plow the land flush
and then either drill in the cowpeas,
or, If they are sown broadcast. TO
cover them with a solid disk harrow
or other implement doing the same
character OF work, for example, an
Acme harrow.
However, in the rush OF work IL Is
sometimes best merely TO plow in the
seed with plows run shallow. In this
case narrowing should be prompt
and thorough, so that ciods may not
prevent your getting good stand.
OF course, the chief advantage OF
sowing cowpeas broadcast and plow-
ing them in, as compared with any
other method, Is the saving of time
and the fact that this work can be
done soon after rain. while the fields
of cotton and corn are too wet to be
cultivated
With fair seasons and on fair land
the yield OF cowpea hay is usually
a little better from broadcast sowing
than from planting In drills far
enough apart for cultivation. How
ever, since drilling and cultivating
so greatly economies seed. IL will
be a favorite method this year. when
seed are high and scarce. II the
cowpeas thus drilled are TO be cut
for hay. IL Is important in cultlvating
not to form any ridges. or to throw
as little soil to the plants in cultiva-
ton as possible. The largest yields
OF seed are made by drilling and
cultivating cowpeas.

"A ture has there been such gen
eral and intense interest in the grow
ing of legumes. This is chiefly due
to a better knowledge of agriculture
and two important characteristics
possessed by this class of plants:
First, they gather nitrogen, the most
expensive plant food deficient in our
soils, from the air and, second, they
are among the most valuable and
nutritious of all our forage plants.
1t seems to me these two facts have
not been fully appreciated or there
would be five times the legumes
grown that have ever yet been pro-
duced in this country. Our soils are
extremely low in humus content and
nearly all of them lack nitrogen to
an equal extent. Here is a class of
plants that supply humus, and nitro
gen gathered from the air, to our
soils; and at the same time furnish
forage rich in those food elements
necessary for the growing of young
animals, the production Of milk, and
the feeding of our work stock. AZ
ter all that has been said in The
Progressive Farmer and Gazette
about the Importance of growing
more legumes it may appear to some
entirely needless to repeat the ad-
monition to plant the oat and wheat
stubble to some legume, but the
high price of seed, the pressure of
other work and the inclination to do
as little as convenient, which is al
ways present in the human makeup,
will, we fear, result in many an oat
and wheat stubble field being left to
grow up in weeds instead of being
sowed to cowpeas or soy beans.
Why You Can Afford to Buy Peas
to Sow.
Is the price of cowpeas so high
that any farmer can not afford to
buy them? There are two reasons
why this is not true. First, one-half
bushel of cowpeas, costing $50, will
plant one acre in drills 80 inches
apart, and this acre of average land
will produce to 10 bushels of peas,
probably, and ton of hay almost
certainly. In case only the ton of
hay is secured. it will be secured at
a cost of not to exceed Sc or So at
the outside figure, and will contain
$40 worth of fertilizer; while the
stubble and roots will also contain
plant foods worth 81 or SO addition
al. If all this be left on the ground
to be plowed under as soon as ma
ture, or to be pastured, the cost Of
producing the crop will not exceed
IS per acre including cost of seed
and all labor. II the crop be plowed
under there will be at least a profit
of 100 per cent in the value of the
nitrogen added to the soil. In addi-
tion, the beneficial effects upon the
mechanical condition of the soil,
from the plowing in of needed Or
ganic or vegetable matter, will large
ly increase the yield of the succeed
ing crop, independent of the benefit
to be derived from the nitrogen
added
When 1t May Pay to PlOw Under a
Crop.
AS general rule we do not ap-
prove of any crop that is suitable
for feeding being plowed under; but
on many Southern soils of medium
or low productive capacity, due to
a
The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette., 1910-06-11

of succeeding crops. In such case it
should be looked upon as an invest
ment of a more or less permanent
nature and not as general farm
practice to be followed every year.
While at the Tennessee Expert
plowing under tremendously heavy
crop of green barley and vetch, and
while there may be some doubt of
the wisdom of plowing under that
amount of feed on land sufficiently
fertile to produce two tons or better
of barley and vetch hay per acre,
there is no doubt of the improve
ment which such practice would
make in the crop yields on practi-
cally all our Southern soils. 1t will
never pay to take five or ten years
time, growing medium to light crops
during the first half of the period,
to improve our soils. The total
crop production for the period may
be much increased by plowing under
at the start a crop of peas or other
humus-forming material, thereby
doubling the yields for the remain
ing years of the period
Have Your Own Peas to Plant Next
Year.
Another reason you can pay even
80 bushel for cowpeas, rather than
fail to plant every acre possible, is
that If seed are high we should pro-
duce them and reap the benefit of
the high price. Peas are a farm
product and every farmer should re-
joice at their high value and seek
to profit thereby. Cowpeas are the
most popular summer legume in the
South and. everything considered,
probably justly SO; but there is an
other which may also be planted
after oats and wheat which deserves
more attention than it has yet re-
ceived. The seed of this legume Is
also high-priced, but it yields about
double the seed usually produced by
cowpeas; from third to a half of
a bushel will plant an acre in 30
inch rows; and the yield of hay will
be about as great as from cowpeas.
We refer, of course, to soy beans.
the seed of which are this year only
from soc. to 81 a bushel lower In
price than are cowpeas, and as stated
the yield OF seed is usually twice
as great.
Put Legumes on Every Available
Acre.

both of which readily mature after
a crop of small grain; there is abso-

Women Musicians

The matter of kettle drum, a bass

circles of late.
Zechs orchestra and a philharmonic
society disagree whether the latter or
ganization bears its name yet or
again" If it is yet" and is a legiti-
mate revival of the old Philharmonic
society it has vested rights to the above
mentioned instruments and a vast
quantity of music.
The property is in the possession of
the Zech forces, who say that they hold
it in trust for the old Philharmonic
which incorporated and then disbanded
temporarily in 1903, after an honora Bile
career of 30 years, because of the diff
Guilty of securing a leader. At that time
divers musical instruments and music
belonging to the society were stored,
but the instruments were lent from
time to time and all but the drum and

Thomas, Gerstle. Beedy & Frick
represent the Philharmonic society,
while o. K. Cushing argues for the
Zech orchestra, and both sides hope
that the matter may be settled out of
court
Two years before the fire William
Zech offered the use of his house and
his dictatorship free of charge to the
members of the Philharmonic and 9TH
ers and they have played under the
name of his orchestra, using the prop
erty of the Philharmonics which was
saved from the fire only through being
at the Zech home.
Within the last two or three months
some musicians who say that they were
members of the old Philharmonic have
banded themselves together under the
name of that organization. They say
they must have the kettle drum and
the bass viol and the music to carry
on their work. In addition they have
scornful words for the Zech orchestra
because women are included among its
members
"Who ever heard of a real orchestra
having women players?" asked NJ. S..
Toplitz, newly elected president of the
Philharmonics. Women should stick
to four pianos and 16 hand numbers If
they want to play. What can they do
in a real orchestra? There is no place
for them in such an organization as
ours. They make the Zech orchestra
a freak affair, which has no right to
anything pertaining to real philhar-
monte"

the Philharmonic are: NJ. B. Wallach,
