{. FAIRCHILO, OF
THIS COUNTY, BELIEVES
COWPEAS A FERTILIZER

The interest in cowpeas in Audrain
county is increasing each year and
their value as a fertilizer is be-
| coming more and more recognized
J.. E. Fairchild, a well known planter
Of the county, has 10 acres of COW
teas in this year and they are look
ing fine.
Il sowed my cowpeas broadcast
said Mr.. Fairchild, "and l think they
are the finest fertilizer we have and
get far better results than clover. l
sowed them double rows apart and
hey are doing fine. They promise
wen and leave the land in fine
shape"
The method of seeding peas de-
ponds upon the use which is to be
made of them. For hay they should
as a rule be sown with a grain
driu at the rate of -four or five
pecks per acre. Some men put in as
/ much as two bushels and while
Z this gives a finer texture TO
tie hay, 1t usually reduces the
amount Of seed formed.
On the other hand they are often
sown at the rate of three pecks per
acre. but excepting for seed = pur'
poses, or on land particularly adapt
ed to the crop, such IS the lowlandf
of Southeast Missouri, this is rarely
enough. A small seeded variety like
the New Era Will require less seec
per acre than the larger seeded vari
cites like the W~hippoorwill.
For seed purposes, cowpehs ar
best SOW somewhat thinner than TO
hay, three pecks usually being bette
than five. They should not be broad
casted either for hay or for seed Of
the uplands of the state. sue
method Is wasteful of seed and unce
tain as To a stand.
They may also be sown for see
with the corn planter and cultivated
- making the rows the same distane
apart as for corn or the rows may Q
placed at half the distance of cor
rows. by going over the land twiS
IT and straddling every other row. ]
this case, they are more diffpcut
cultivate as the rows are too cios
together for convenient cultivation
It is usually necessary in this ca
MS In take off one shovel ON each gar
mn Of a six shovel cultiyator and If u
'e axle is adjustable, to set the whee
us as to avoid running on two ro'
while cultivating a third.
Hei Peas sown at the usual rate
hay, generally make a good yield
seed in favorable seasons. AS
wv matter of fact, the yield of threi
iun ed peas depends not only upon {
" season, but also upon the soil a
the variety.
y medium to thin soil VIII p

"e q sandy soil more than a clay
as a rule. Varieties like the n
Era which is early and which has
az lie tendency to vine, will yield m

Another method of putting in p
ia rows, is by meal Of a 81
drill where a part Of the holes

allowed to run and carr is used
up driy ing, the rows can be pla

HIGH COST OF
LIVING NOT ONLY
AMERICAN PROBLEM

The high cost Of living seems TO
be again attracting attention from T.
r. and other popular new items.
Aside from the every day evidence
we have when we purchase necessi-
ties as to the rise in prices the paper
contain dispatches from all parts OF
the world showing conditions every
where are more or less alike.
In Butler. Pa, a document yellow
with age has been resurrected from
d pigeon hole where 1t has rested
since 1904 that tells a story Of its
own. The document Is signed by 100
citizens, petitioning the court to "set
a stipulated price ON provisions for
man and horse, and on liquors in the
taverns OF the county" The petition
ers prayed for redress and as
serted ut Is the consensus Of opinion
that rs cents for a meal Of victuals
and ~ cents for a half pint OF whis-
ky is an extortion, as whisky has
been purchased for 40c a gallon, pork
from 8 to 4 cents a pound, and
flour for 81 per hundred-weight."
Miss Annie Lewis, of this city,
who has been visiting in Texas, re-
turns with word that ro~asting-ears
were 35 cents a dozen in the Lone
Star State. This fact is consoling
when we know that ours were a bit
cheaper.
Meat has gone up in price In
France. It has been going up evei
since 1901. and it will undoubtedly
continue to soar, says the secretary
of the Master Butchers Union, wht
gives two chief easons. The flrs
is that livestock breeding Is rapid!
diminishing in France. Towards
1880, some "a, 1000, 900 sheep grace
on French soil. Now the numbe
barely exceeds 16, 200, 900. The cor
sumption of meat has also increased
The cost Of food is increasing SLOW
ly but surely in England. Baco
within a month has advanced tw
cents a pound owing to scarcity an
speculation. Cheese has gone u
two cents a pound, an increase Ent
fish people will feel keenly, becaus
cheese Is used more as a substantli
food there than as trimming to
piece of pie.
Sugar, owing to a short suppl
is IN half a cent a pound, while TN
English breakfast standing marin
lade is up in sympathy with susa
Soap, too, has increased in price ca
Il Ia now almost a pound dearer Una
Il was six months ago. h
creased cost of soap is due to
shortage Of the tallow supply.
Cocoa. however. Is eight cents

while sardines are a drug on the m

preach the gospel Of raising porkers.

Market statistics show that A mil.
lion less hogs we're produced in 1909
than in the preceding year. Authori.
ties ON the subject have been unable
to account for the falling off. It is be

supposed to have foundered with all
On board.
II view of the recent talk # Ant
arctic expeditions the fate OF the little
tender Sea Gull is Of interest. The
Sea Gull was a 100-ton pilot boat with
IA crew Of fifteen. and was acting a
= tender for Admiral Charles Wilkes
exploring expedition. She was last seen
by the Flying Fish, which parted com
pany IN order 20 seek shelter in False
Cape Horn. The Inflated vessel was

The Great Lakes have not been with

doned for all the crew, and it was not
until July "A, 1861, that conrgess de-
clared the Levant had been lost and
fixed the date as June 80, 1861. fully
nine months after the vessel probably
foundered.
1t is explained at the navy depart
ment that this great leeway in time is
allowed as there are so many small
islands in the Pacific where members
Of a crew might find sustenance that
il i advisable to delay the legal decla-
ration of total loss of a vessel in those
waters.
Insect names seem to be a hoodoo
with the navy, for as a companion story
TO the loss of the Hornet is the mystery
surrounding the disappearance of the
Wasp with her eighteen guns and com
plement of 40 men. The Wasp, under
the command of Master Commandant
Johnston Blakelev. was lost with all on
board in 1914. There is still uncer-
taiutv as TO its fate, some maintaining
that the little vessel went down in a
gale, others that she was sunk during a
night engagement with a British frig-
ate, and others that she was run under
III a squall.
In connection with the discussion
which arose following the disappear
ance of the Wasp, this editorial COM
ment, taken from the Norfolk Beacon
of December, 1915, is of interest:
Notwithstanding the reports that
we have heretofore published, CONVEX
sation with an officer of the first rank
and responsibility in the navy permits
us to entertain no doubts of the loss of
the United States sloop-ofwar Wasp,
and that her end was as glorious as her
cruise had been brilliant.
