that every one did not SOW peas as
regularly as those planters. / still
can not well understand why it
should be necessary to argue to any
farmer in the South the advantage
of good cover of peas.
The great need of the soils of the
South is vegetable matter or humus.
This is necessary, not only as q
source of plant food, but for its me-
chanical effect upon the soil and be-
cause it increases the ability of that
soil to hold and to supply moisture
to plants This vegetable matter. it
is true. can be supplied by turning
under any plant, but most plants,
when so treated, add no food to the
soil, as they have obtained the nitro
gen, phosphoric acid and potash
they contain from the soil itself, and
hence only return what they have
taken away. The cowpea and other
members of the legume family, pos
sess the power of gathering their
nitrogen from the atmosphere. So
when they are grown upon land and
then turned under they actually add
nitrogen to the soil.
Free Nitrogen for the Cotton Crop.
Cotton, yielding bale per acre,

stalks and leaves to the soil, re-

is worth over 81. II we allow the
leaves to dry up and blow away and
then burn our cotton stalks, as is too
often done. we remove an additional
IS pounds of nitrogen, worth over
$1,000.
II we turn under the stalks and
leaves from this crop and then plant
and grow upon the land a crop of
peas, they will make us a yield of
at least a ton and half of vines
These vines when turned under, or
when fed to cattle and the resultant
manure added to the soil, will add
thereto something like 60 pounds of
nitrogen-more than replacing what
was removed by the cotton. This,
too, is decided gain as it all came
from the air.
In addition to the nitrogen, these
peas contain in their roots and
stems some 20 pounds of phosphoric
acid and 110 pounds Of potash. 1t
is true that these latter came from
the soil. but they were largely OBJ
tanned from the deeper layers not
often foraged by most plants Since

Things to Consider When Planting
Peas.
Just how and when 1t is pest 10
plant peas, varies with SO many con-
ditions that one hesitates to lay do"h
any fixed rule. In the sugar dlstrlct
of Louisiana, the practice is to plant
the corn in 6-foot rows, and when
this crop is about waist high TO SOW
peas at the rate of II to bushels
per acre. In other sections ii Is
customary to plant every other row
and sometimes every third row in
peas. Some plant hill OF peas be-
tween each hill of corn, while others
plant their corn in wide rows (about
5 feet) and drill peas on either side
Of the corn. With poor land, some
of these latter methods are probably
best, as then one is able TO give the
peas one or two workings that viii
aid them very materially.
Since peas gather the nitrogen they
need from the air. 1t Is, OF course,
seldom necessary TO use any OF this
substance as a fertilizer for them.
But IL the soil Is very poor 1t will
pay to supply them with a small
amount OF nitrogen in order TO give
them a good start. Two hundred
pounds of cottonseed meal applied
at the time OF planting frequently
makes quite difference In the yield.
Peas are. however. great potash and
phosphate feeders. and 1t always pays
to supply these substances In an
abundance. The planting OF peas In
corn Is only one OF the many ways
in which this crop should be used
There Is no better plant TO follow
winter grain with. and none that SO
we'll prepares the ground for such.
Prepare the Land Well.
1t is a mistake not to give the
soil good preparation for peas. II
the ground Is broken deeply and
we'll pulverized before sowing them.
very little preparation will be neces-
sary to succeed them with winter
grain. When sown upon grain
stubble they can be sown either
broadcast or in drills and cultivated.
With poor land the latter method In
preferable. Ii requires more seed
when sown broadcast. but this In
onset by the saving of cultivation.
Use plenty OF seed. Two bushels per
acre when sown broadcast is not an
excessive quantity and even wnen
sown In drills bushel TO the acre
Is none too much.
or varieties there are probably n.
many OF peas as of any other known
crop. They differ In a wide degree
ooth In appearance. In size. In coler.
and In method OF growth. Some Weld
an abundance OF fruit with little
vine, while others have Just the re-
verse propensity. In the color and
size OF the fruit and OF the pod they
also have a wide range OF variation
But they all possess the valuable
trait OF gathering nitrogen from
the air.
peas are subject to very few dis
eases and are attacked by few insect
enemies. There is one disease that
many varieties have In common with

Why Peavines Should Not Be Plowed
Under.
But turning under pea vines is
very much like eating only half OF
the loaf. 1t will pay to grow pea
vines as fertilizer alone, but there
is another way in which we can use
them and very much increase our
profits. We all know the value of
the peavine as a feed, but many of
us do not realize fully that we can
feed these vines and by carefully
saving and returning the resultant
manure to the soil upon which the
peas were grown practically get full
benefit of the plant food they con-
tanned. While only so per cent of
this plant food re-appears in the ma
nure, yet it is in so much better
form for the use of the plants. that
what we do get is easily worth what
the original quantity was worth.
When cottonseed meal is worth
$50 ton. the nutrients In a ton of
pea hay are worth $40. Then the
ton and half that the land In cues
ton will yield will easily be worth
SIS. Since we are first going to
feed this hay and then save the re-
sultant manure, we will then realize

Other Benefits of the Pea Crop.
But all the benefits OF the pea

have not entered into the above ac-

figure them in dollars and cents.

is one that has the power, under GER

The conditions under which fixing OF

Speeches During Summer and

Former President Roosevelt, father
Of conservation in America" is being
counted on by officers Of the National
Conservation Association 10 take the
stump this summer, in the interest OF
his most cherished offspring.
lie has promised to address the great
conservation congress which meets in
ST. Paul in September, and from ex-
pressions he has made recently. and be-
cause of his interest in the matter, It is
firmly believed he viii make other
speeches at conservation meetings which
are scheduled in various sections Of the
country.
At any rate. the conservation associa-
ticn is looking for the biggest boom IN
It's existence. during the next four
months.
List of Speakers.
Thomas R Ship, secretary Of the
association, today made public a par
tisl list Of prominent men identified
with the conservation movement who
will be used as speakers this summer
by the association. First on the list
is Clifford Pinchot, former forester,
and president of the National Con-
servation Association; James R. Gar
field, former Secretary Of the Interior;
Frank c. Goudy. of Denver. Col,
chairman Of the conservation commits
sion OF that State; Newton G. Blanch
ard, former governor OF Louisiana;
DR.. Charles r Van Hise, president Of
the University Of Michigan, George
9. Pardee, former governor Of Cali
fornia, Paris Gibson, former United
States Senator from Montana. Senator
Newlands of Nevada, Representative
Scott of Kansas, ana George F. Swain,
of Harvard University and member OF
the National Conservation Commits
sion.
Because Of the many requests
throughout the country for speakers
on conservation, Secretary Shipp said
today that this list is likely TO be
Inadequate and will have to be dou-
bled before the summer is well aG-
vanced.
His Firm Grip.
That the conservation wave has
taken a firm grip on the entire coun-
try and that the officers and citizens
of the States are earnest in the mat
ter. is considered proven by the many
requests for literature and speakers.
Basing his judgment on letters he has
received, Secretary Ship is Of the
opinion that two or three hundred
meetings are planned for the summer
at which the question of conservation
will be the principal topic for dis
cussiOn.
Managers Of New York States big
chautauqua have written for a con-
servatiOn speaker and they have been
promised the services Of Clifford Pin
chot. II is also considered likely that
Colonel Roosevelt will be a speaker
on that occasion Mr.. PinchOt also
will speak at the Mountain Lake

July. At both Of these Chautauquas
