PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

During the last summer. at my re-
quest, the secretary Of war visited the
Philippine islands, and has described his
trip In his report, He found the islands
in state OF tranquility and growing
prosperity. due largely to the change In
the tariff laws, which has opened the
markets OF America to the products OF
the Philippines and has opened the Phil
ippine markets to American n1anufac-
lures.
The rapid increase in the trade be-
tween the two countries Is shown In the

Cowpeas as q Green
Manure Crsp.

! Cowpeas belong to the family
of plants known as the legumsi
which have the power of taking
nitrogen from the air by means oI
the bacteria which live on thsil
roots. They are not only able "a
secure nitrogen. for their OWE
growth in this way but, where the
soil is low 10 this element of plant
food, they store up nitrogen there
for the crop that follows. It has
been determined experimentslly
that two thirds Of the nitrogen oi
the entire sowpea plant is found
in the leaves and stems and one
third in the roots. Hence when a
crop Of cowpeas are turned under
three times as much nitrogen will
be put into the soil as If the Drop
had been removed.
The humue content OF the coil
10 the source Of nitrogen for all Of
the non.leguminous plants such
as corn, oats, wheat, timothy etc.,
and in many soils that have been
farmed for q long time this is the
controlling factor OF the crop.
Turning under cowpeas adds
humas to the coil. Humas in de.
caying not only sets free nitrogen
for the plants but the organic
acids from 1t sets free and makes
available phosphorous and potas-
SION, the other two important
elements Of fertility.
At the Experiment Station at
Columbia q crop of cowpeas sown
after wheat and turned under be-
fore sowing again in the fall has
for an average for the last six
years increased the yield fve
bushels per acre. Plots given
similar treatment on five of the
Stations coil experimental fields
in various parts Of the state IN
creased the yield Of wheat in 1908
from 9.6 to 14.4 bushels per acre,
an increase of 4.8 bushels or Rfty
percent.
1t should be noted in this con-
neotion that where Q green man
urs crop or heavy dressing Of
barnyard manure is turned under
tie soil should be thoroughly
worked down aud compacted be-
fore seeding. Otherwise the soil
will dry out readily and the wheat
likely be winter killed.
