or Canadian peas are closely related.
There are also many native vetches
and, therefore, the germs which are
necessary to enable vetches to take
nitrogen from the air and improve
the soil are more widely distributed
than are those required for some
other legumes. From this fact, and
the medium large size of the seed
which are likely to carry more or
less of the germs, the vetches are
probably less likely to fail when arti
fetal incubation of the soil is neg
lected than is crimson clover or al
falfa, for instance. If, however, the
special germs required by the vetches
are not in the soil. the crop will be
complete failure unless the soil is
artificially inoculated. We, there
fore, advise against the sowing OF
vetches on a large area until it has
been shown that they will grow sue
cessfully on the farm on a small
area. Even if grown successfully on
a small area, we would not SOW a

for without incubation the vetches

Value as Soil Improver.
Owing to the large numbers of
nodules on the roots of the vetches
even in early spring, and the large
growth which they make, they are
valuable soil improvers, because OF
the large amount of nitrogen they
gather from the air. At the Cornell
IN. W Experiment Station a three
months growth produced 6,S24
pounds of hay, containing 24O pounds
of nitrogen; while the North Caro-
lima State Department of Agriculture
found that as an average for two
years a vetch crop contained nitrogen
to the value Of s26.52.
The vetches are annual plants and
must be sowed for each crop, unless
the seed is allowed to ripen on the
land, when sufficient seed will shat
ter out to re-seed itself. II Ii is TO
be grown regularly each farmer
should produce his own seed TO avoid

Il most satisfactory over the
greater part of the United States and
the one most generally known as the
Hairy vetch. The so-called Oregon
smooth vetch is liked by many and
Prof. Perkins, when at the Mississip-
ri Experiment Station, stated that he
liked it better than the Hairy vetch
and that it produced as much forage
per acre. Hairy vetch is the tried
and popular variety throughout the
South and is adapted to all types of
lands suitable for growing general
crops. Of course, it will do best on
rich land and may possibly prefer
clay loans to sandy soils; but it
grows we'll on practically all fertile
soils of the South.
Time of Seeding.
1t has a strong point in that 1t
may be sowed at any time from Au-
gust to November and still make
satisfactory crop the following
spring. In fact, we have seen the
seed allowed to ripen, the land plow-
ed deep with a two-horse pillow and
a crop of millet sowed and harvested,
when in the fall the vetch seed shat
tered on the land came up and made
a good crop the following spring.
If, however, the seasons are right
and there is moisture in the ground
we would prefer to sow the vetch in
September or early in October, al
though it is often sowed much later
vetch seed, like many other le-
gumes, is high-priced. From three
to four dollars bushel is about as
low as they ever get and it requires
a bushel of 60 pounds or more to the
acre to give satisfactory stand.
Owing to the habits of growth Of
the vetches, especially the Hairy
vetch, it is common practice to SOW
them with other crops, such as oats,
barley, rye, or wheat. The Oregon
smooth vetch stands up better than
the hairy and this is a point in it's
favor with many. When oats are
sowed with Hairy vetch. and this is
the cereal most frequently sowed
with 1t, the oats hold the vetch up
and the cost for seed is also possibly
less. When sowed with oats from
one-third to one-half bushel of vetch
seed, or sometimes less, is used per
acre
An Early Spring Grazing or Hay Crop
Vetch is not especially valuable as
a winter cover or grazing crop. 1t
makes little growth until spring and
hugs the ground closely during the
fall and winter. When sowed early,
In the southern part of our territory,
1t does better as a winter cover and

The plant natures rather too late
to be satisfactory to precede cotton,
IN rotation throughout large part
OF the South. but there is ample
time to make a crop of corn after
the vetch crop is harvested. The
amount of early spring grazing, or
the yield of hay, is heavy and the
hay is of high feeding value. being
about equal, pound for pound, to
wheat bran.
It's adaptability to a wide range of
soil and climatic conditions, it's rapid
and large growth in the early spring,
its improvement of the soil, and the

duced, are its especially strong

SCORES LAWS ON PENSIONS

Editor Herald The following resc-
luton by comrades OF Gen. Hawkins
camp, Spanish War Veterans, has been
forwarded to Washington:
"They have piled obstacles in the
way Of the Spanish war men who want
and ought to have pensions" says an
officer of Gen. Hawkins camp. "Regl-
mental surgeons and examiners seem
to make it their business to put up the
bars wherever they can and only a
small proportion of the men who lost
their health and, consequently. all en-
joyment of life, are now on the PEN
sion rolls. We have many Instances
where men, who are completely dlS-
abled from service in the islands, are
without any means of support, except
for the home they find here
And our captains of big business
talk of raising an army OF 45O,OOO SOL
diers to protect the United States from
ina ginary foreign foes. Let our young
men consider we'll before they don a
uniform and shoulder a gun to shoot
SOM one whom they never saw until
the day of the battle-some man who
never injured us in any way. And If
our soldier should chance to get shot
by the foreign soldier and manned for
life he will have the poor satisfaction
of knowing that his chances for sup
port from the government he gave his
manhood to defend in a needless war
caused by capitalism and for capital
ism, depend upon the whim of dozen
or two corporation lawyers in the
American congress.
When the soldiers of the Civil War,
members of the Grand Army of the
Republic, ask for 81 a day pension

philosophers that the United States
government is not able to foot the bill

MAN REQUIRES INNER PEACE

Editor Herald: People as a rule do
not give much credence to the exist
ence of the devil, relegating such be-
left into the domain of fable and su-
perstition, yet when we contemplate
that both good (usefuD and evil Gun
usefuD are acted out by man we re-
alize that man can become either
devil or q god-namely, become SER
want to the fallen host of heaven
whose chief Is Lucifer, or servant
to the Redeemer Christ.
This being so, heaven and hell are
realities, namely, men can organize
and live in a state and condition OF
suffering, distress, want, ignorance
and death, or establish a social state
where selfishness of individual man
being entirely eliminated, will give
man the peace, happiness and eternal
life of heaven. The devil, however,
persuaded man that heaven Is at
tanned after death, and that peace can
be purchased with money, conse-
uuently every son of Adam, while con-
scious of self in form, Is pursuing the
acquisition of the dollar, thus surren-
dering his soul to the service of the
devil, and acquiring money through
fraud and theft like Carnegie, Is
persuaded by Lucifer to pose before
the world as lover OF peace While In
reality creating destruction In the
ranks of men.
The devil was a liar from the be-
ginning, and any man who imagines he
will be able to purchase peace with
money has on him the mark OF the
beast. To attain to peace man must
cultivate peace within, the same as
with any other attainment; one must
practice virtue in order to be virtuous,
he must speak truth in order to be
truthful in short, he must practice
the golden rule, but as society led by
such men as Carnegie, Rockefeller,
Morgan, in conjunction with papacy
and the rest, does not practice 1t,
but leaves such attainments to
time after death man has established
hell upon earth, wherein he con-
sumes himself through selfish, SEN
suous and vain desires to become great
and be worshiped as the golden calf.

WANTS VIEWS ON VACCINATION

Editor Herald: I am more than
pleased to learn that the Public Let
ter Box" has grown SO it is necessary
to give it another page on Sunday. /
believe the Letter Box Is educational.
1t helps the readers to think and
gives them an opportunity to express
their thoughts.
People are becoming more and more
interested in things pertaining to the
good of humanity. l am especially in
terested in the letters written on vac
cination, for 1 think 1t subject of
vital Importance to every human be-
ing.
If there Is no great good coming
from vaccination then why inoculate
our children with poison, causing i'm
pure blood? The loss of limb and life.
l had a cousin, a beautiful, healthy
young woman, who never knew well
day after being vaccinated, and died
of quick consumption in less than a
year.
/ scarcely speak to a person on this
subject who does not tell me of some
horrible thing caused by vaccination.
Is vaccination really smallpox pre-
ventive or is it because of ignor-
ance and graft that we have this law ?
And If a preventive, is not the
remedy worse than the disease?
Do not our sanitary conditions pre-
vent smallpox in a large measure?
Will the readers of the Letter Box
make a study of this important ques-
tion and find out If compulsory vac
cination laws are right and best?

Fifteen years ago he health officers

No. Everyone now knows he has

URGES VOTES FOR WOMEN

Editor Herald: In the Herald Letter
Box It. r. G.. says women who have
had the ballot in Wyoming, Colorado.
Utah and Idaho have done nothing and
refers 70 the Ladies' Home Journal as
authority for the statement. Now the
Journal may be an undlsputed author
ity on dolls, dresses and dinners, but
it is not on woman suffrage. The writ
er saw not so very long ago list of
the laws passed in the states where
women have the ballot, for the better
ing of the conditions of women and
children, and the briefest mention pos
sible of the purpose of each law with
not a word of comment would have
filled three-fourths OF a column in The
Herald. All the governors of Wyoming
for many years testified to the great
benefit of woman's vote, and in all the
states they have exerted a very great
influence by refusing to vote for bad
men and forcing the parties to nom
mate those with a respectable record.
The writer has friend in Colorado,
an old-time teacher comrade, who told
in a recent visit to this state of how
cut in the teachers salaries by getting
out in full force and voting. She also
remembers a judge in Minneapolis who
went to Denver, not a suffragist, and
from what he learned among his law
yer friends of the good work done
came back an enthusiastic worker for
the cause.
Judge Lindsey and his wonderful
work for the children in the juvenile
court is an answer not to be set aside.
