The Profession for
the Farm Boy.


Der of letters from farm boys or
their parents, boys who have
been raised on good farms and
presumably have learned a great
deal about farming that can be
learned nowhere else than on the
farm. They want to know what
profession they should choose, or
if they decide to remain on the
farm how they can best equip
themselves for the life of the
farm.
Here as everywhere else much
depends on the boy, and much
on his parents. If the boy has
real farming instincts and is fit
to be a farmer, we do not know
any better profession that he can
choose than that of farming,
particularly so if his father is a
farmer and offers him a good
opportunity.
The other professions are pref
ty we'll filled. We have all the
doctors we want now, and a good
many that we don't want and
would be a good deal better off
without. We have all the law
yers we want, and a good many
whose room would be worth a
great deal more than their COM
pany. There is room, large
room, for doctors who will study
how to keep people we'll and not
merely to cure them when they
are ill; and there is large room
for lawyers who will study how
to keep people out of lawsuits
rather than to encourage them
to get in in order that they may
help them out. There is room
large room-for men whose
parents have ordained them to
the ministry; in other words,
who have the spiritual, social
and intellectual development
that will fit them to point out to
men the way to live best in this
world and develop a Godlike
character. There is room for
men who can conduct big bust
ness on the lines laid down in
the Sermon on the Mount; and
there is room for farm boys who
can do this.
We know of no place, how
ever, that there is such large
as on the farm for the boy who
is fit to be a farmer. Now as to
the preparation for it: An agri:
cultural education is valuable,
provided the boy has enough of
the farming instinct in him to
keep him from being switched
off into something else: in other
words, who has the stamina to
get the education without los
ing his farm ideas. To such a
boy an agricultural education is
of inestimable value. A COM
plete agricultural college educa-
ton, however, is not absolutely
necessary to the farm boy, pro-
vided he has someone to advise
him as to what books and papers
to read in order that he may
get the help needed. We would
advise at least a year or two in
an agricultural college, in which
he can get in touch with other
farm boys who are like-minded.
This will be of immense value to |
him in the future.
Every boy growing up on the
farm, who expects to farm, ought
to procure as soon as he can a
number of books which give him
fundamental knowledge on the
subject of his lifework. He
should know the geology of his
state. He should know the soils
Of his state and the glaciations,
If in a glaciated district. He
should know how to handle
these different soils in order to
put them in first-class physical
condition. He should study the

Cowpeas as Fertilizer.

that if l could raise a wheat
crop next year and then sow tC
peas after the wheat, ! might
help the ground considerably
How much would you SOW to the
acre, and how soon after the
wheat crop is taken off would
you do the seeding?
In the latitude of Missouri the
scheme suggested of sowing cow
peas after wheat is an excellent
one for improving poor soil.
Cowpeas will grow on even poor
er soil than clover, and will i'm
prove the soil in much the same
way as clover, adding nitrogen
to the land, making phosphorus
and potassium more available,
and improving the physical con-
dition. To secure a good growth
of cowpeas after wheat or oats
means that quick work must be
done in harvesting the grain
crop. In some instances, es-
pecially on light soils in moist
seasons, it is possible to prepare
a seed bed after the grain crop
merely by double disking, but
ordinarily both blowing and
disking will be necessary. The
work should be rushed along so
that the cowpea seeding may be
done before the middle of July,
and if possible during the first
week in July. For seeding under
such conditions, we would use
an early variety, such as the
New Era. The seed may be
sown in either of two ways: in
rows two and a half to three
feet apart and given cultivation,
or thickly with a grain drill and
given no cultivation. The for
mer method requires about half
a bushel of seed, while the latter
takes from one to one ;;and a half
bushels of seed to the acre. The
price of seed would determine
largely which method we would
use.
We quote from a government
bulletin the following striking
examples of the value of cow
peas as green manure:
THE Alabama Agricultural
Experiment Station reports a
yield of oats following cowpea
vines plowed under of 247 per
cent larger than when German
millet was plowed under. The
Arkansas station reports in
creased yield of 60 per cent on
corn where cowpeas were raised
the season before. The Missouri
station increased the yield of
corn 70 per cent by growing cow
peas on land for two years before
corn. In the yield of
hay the Arkansas station Sc
cured an increase of 116 per cent
On oats following cowpeas raised
the year before. The Alabama
station increased the yield of
hay 2.01 tons, or IS per
cent, by blowing under cowpea
;tubble on land"
We consider an ideal method
for getting the most out of the
;owpea crop both so far as the
and and the livestock on the
place are concerned to be either

Gayety Is Crowded
At Seasons Opening

AL Reeves and his Beauty Show
opened the season at the Gayety last
night. The theater was crowded, every
available space being occupied, and a
hearty reception was given Reeves.
The production is particularly good,
the costume effects being elaborate, and
the show went with a vim from the
time the curtain went up until the
show closed three and one-half hours
later. The opening burlesque is en-
titled Flying High" in which Andy
Lewis carried OF the honors. The
closing number is called Easy Pick
ing" in which Al Reeves appears to
advantage. The feminine contingent Is
large and embraces such well-known
burlesquers as Blanch Martin, Blanch
Curtis, Zella Russell, Marie Brandon.
Catherine Craford, and Beatrice Nor
ton.
The piano speciality Of Zella Russell
was the big feature Of the olio, while
Marie Brandon's toe dancing earned
her much applause. Billy Inman and
company presented a pleasing sketch.
entitled Recognition
The Gayety has been refurnished and
decorated throughout, and Manager
Peck was showered with congratula-
tions on the successful opening of an
other season at this popular house.

BelaSco Color Pictures
An Interesting Exhibit

Moving pictures de luxe" is the at
traction this week at the Belasco Thea
ter. Last night the kinemacolor repro
ductions of the scenes Of the recent
coronation ceremonies In England were
shown for the first time to a Washing
ton audience. The production was by
far the most elaborate attempt to give
an entertainment solely through the
medium of picture films ever seen in
this city, and II was frequently ap-
plauded.
The kinemacolor films are said to be
a new color photography process. All
colors of the scenes depicted were
brought out in accurate detail, and the
gorgeous costumes and uniforms Of the
coronation ceremonies gave ample
scope to the possibilities Of color pic
lures. The pictures are a fine series
showing the events and scenes of the
coronation. The program was all the
more interesting through the accom-
panying lecture by Arthur A. Lotto,
who pointed out the various places OF
interest and identified the dignitaries,
troops, and other features of the pic
lures as they appeared upon the screen.
Orchestral and organ music in the
wings also added to the realistic effect.
The audience was closely interested for
two hours.

Strong Cast Presents
Academy's First Bill

The Academy of Music. with a strong
company on the stage and thoroughly
renovated house, last night successfully
opened its new theatrical season. "a
Fugitive From Justice" the opening at
traction, is a melodrama built on mod
ern lines and was exceptionally well
handled by Evelyn Faber, Arthur De
Voy, George H. Sinclair and the sup
porting company.
A crowded house greeted the players
and throughout the four acts the fire.
Quent bursts Of hearty applause showed
that the patrons were well satisfied with
the cast and play.
The love affairs of Lieut.. Tom Fair
fax, U. S. A., Arthur De Voy, and
Juanita Feduera, Miss Faber, with plots
and counterplots against that love
brewed by John Haywood and Dolores
Madero, Thomas w. Carroll, and Maize
Oliver, and Manuel Feduera, Max
schrade, furnish the principal elements
of interest in this swift-movIng play.
The Academy company is we'll bal
anced, and all the leading rolls were
excellently interpreted. The principals
by no means carry the full Eonors of
the presentation for each member of
the cast contributes his fair share to
the success of the theater's opening
