The advantages Of growing cowpeas
are briefly summarized by the Iouis-
lana experiment station as follows.
First, the cowpea is a nitrogen gath
erer; second, it shades the soil in the
summer, keeping it in a condition
most suitable to the most rapid nitrlfi-
cation and leaves it friable and loose
and IN the best possible condition for
future crops; third, it has a large root
development, and hence pumps up
from great depth and a large area

the soil to absorb all of the rain as
fast as it falls. 1t is, therefore, advis-
able to provide what is known as a
system of graded embankment with a
fall Of from one to two inches In
twenty feet. Shallow bitches about
five feet wide with embankments
about fifteen feet wide and high
enough to hold all the water that the
soil fails to absorb. Give the rows
the same fall and in the same direc-
ton. Lay off say three rows on each
embankment. Cultivate the embank.

was more than sufficient to pay for the
additional expense in drilling and cul-
ttvating the crop.
We can grow and harvest two crops
of WhippOOrwill or New Era peas in
one year for less than nothing. Let us
take two acres Of average land. Let
us plant one acre In cotton and make
two crops Of peas on the other acre.
Next year we will plant the two acres
in cotton. There will be more than
enough difference in the yields of the
two acres to pay all expenses of grow
ing the two crops of peas this year

A Weak Digestion.

Digestion is largely a mechanical
process. says a physician. Where the
digestions is weak there is usually
weakness of the abdominal muscles,
and with better diet, more thorough
mastication, better rest and more reg
ular habits must be included a system
of exercise to strengthen the muscles
and thus improve the peristaltic ac-
ton of the stomach and the intes-
tines. upon which digestion so largely
depends.

With nearly every orchardist in
this community enjoying an excep.
tionally large crop of apples, in fact
SO many that local dealers cannot use
the entire product, it is surprising to
some of the commission men that
farmers are not taking advantage of
southern market, where apples are un-
usually short. A local dealer who en-.
deavored to purchase a car load for the
Tennessee market, had to cancel the
ord0r, after he had purchased several
barrels from farmers. they raised the
price on him, so their surplus apples
will not be allowed to rot.
According to a local buyer, apples
are as hard to get in large quantities
as when the crop is short, simply be
cause the farmers do not seem to be
satisfied with the market quotations
which vary according to the kind OF
apples offered and how they grade up

their surplus crop into cider vinegar

HOMELESS BY FIRES
IN MICHIGAN WOODS
Scores of Persons Missing,

Have Perished.
m Vigorous Cleanup of All Remnants at Astonishing Reductions

GRAYLING, Mich, July 1S.-Several
hundred more people are homeless today
as the result of the complete wiping out
of the village Of Waters. eighteen miles
from here. last night. This brings the
total of homeless in the burning of three
towns. Oscoda. Ausable, and Waters, up
TO 5000. The whole northeastern section of
Michigan today is a desolate blackened
mass with only here and there a house
left to mark what was only a few days
ago a prosperous village or farm.
OF the pile of rough pine boxes sent to
Ausable and Oscoda last night for those
who were supposed to have persisted,
only three have been used. but scores
Of Inhabitants are still missing and no
accurate estimate of fatalities can be
made for some time.
Only two houses in Oscoda and none
IN Ausable remain.
It was stated today from numerous
points where fires were raging fiercely
yesterday that the fire situation was
distinctly improved in northern Michi-
gan.
According to State Fire Warden Oates,
fires are reported in twenty-one coun-
ties today, and while a number of these
are not dangerous at present, ii will

Many of the richest mines in the Por-

and westward from Porcupine lake
1t will be several days before the
death list and property loss can be

but indications today are that the holo-
caust is the greatest in the history Of
the Dominion.

workmen. When the fire reached the

CORN GROWING CONTEST
GROWING IN INTEREST

Las Cruces. n. NJ, May 9.-The corn
growing contest orga nized by Prof. H.
H. Schultz under the auspices of the
New Mexico Agricultural college. is
awakening considerable interest
throughout the county and letters are
being received every day asking for
more particulars and requesting seed
for planting. The pound of seed corn
offered by the college to all boys who
enter the contest will plant full acre
of land These boys can raise good
crops from this seed, and on account
of the fact that it is selected and ac-
climated they car also sell consider
able quantity next year from this crop
to those farmers who want the very
best seed for their own planting. Prof.
Schultz is preparing a pamphlet which
will give information as TO the method
to be pursued in selecting the best 100
ears of corn and how to keep them for
the next years planting
The professors at the college figure
that the boys in this contest can make
50 a bushel from their corn by select
ing the best ears and selling as seed
corn. The ordinary price for corn in
this county is about soc bushel. and
even at this price there is a good profit
from the crop. as the yield is much
larger here than in the corn growing
states Most of the contestants have
asked for the seed of the Hickory King
corn. which would indicate that this
is the best known variety in this To-
cality.

possible. A number of fine skins were

WATER RIGHTS DATA
NOT YET COMPILED

Las Cruces, N. NJ, May 9.-Some
months ago the board Of directors of
the Elephant Butte Water Users asse-
citation employed Holt & Sutherland of
this city to institute the necessary
legal proceedings for the ascertain-
ment and adjudication of prior water
rights under the Elephant Butte dam.
The employment referred to involved
a vast amount of detail work in the
preparation of the suit it being neces-
sary to procure complete and accurate
lists of all owners of water rights
upon the Rio Grande in New Mexico
under the project. and of all claimants
of such rights.
Under authority of the board of d.
rectors properly qualified persons in
Sierra and Dona Ana county were en-
ployed to compile such data, but their
labors have not yet been completed.
Under the law it is necessary that the
question of water right priorities be
adjudicated before the project can for
mally be opened. The preparation of
the suit to comply with these condi-
tions involves great care and large
amount of detail work. and the con-
duct and prosecution of the same after
its Institution will not only require
great care but must necessarily con-
sumo considerable time. and no incon-
siderable amount of expense.
However, the work is being carried
along as rapidly as possible and suits
will be brought as soon as the the
data is fully compiled. so that every
thing in this section will be ready for
the final approval Of the reclamation
service before the dam is completed
sufficiently to allow of the turning in
of the water
