President Taft and his Cabinet today

The Lloyd bill provides that such af-

as cause for dismissal or demotion, and
that clerks shall have the right to PEE

affiliate with labor unions formed to
better the conditions of those employed
in the service. go
The exact language of the far-reach-

peas more than offsets this. On the
bottom lands of southeast Missouri
this retarding action of the cowpeas
does not seem to take place, many
men declaring that corn with cowpeas
sown between the rows will do bet.
ter than where no cowpeas are used.
The reasons for these differences of
opinion are not quite evident, but it
can be said that the great benefit to
be derived from sowing cowpeas in
the corn in this way both to the land
and also from the resulting pasture
warrants their very wide use in this
manner This is especially true with
the present high price of corn, since
the addition Of cowpeas to the hog
ration when handled in this way
makes the corn 60 very much farther.
1t is one of those practices which is
coming into use with more intensive
system of agriculture. Many men
are now using cowpeas in the corn in

Where cowpeas are seeded in corr
at the last cultivation, they are usually
sown broadcast at the rate of two tC
three pecks per acre. Experiment;
made by the Experiment Station,
however, show that for Central and
North Missouri, it is much better tc
seed these peas with a one-horse drill
than to broadcast them. When drilled
in this way they should be sown al
the rate of two to three pecks per
acre. The advantage Of this method
hes in the fact that corn may be
planted at the regular time and given
thorough cultivation. The disadvant-
age lies in the difficulty in getting a
good stand of cowpeas, due to the dry
weather which frequently prevails at
that season of the year. 1t has also
been found that where the corn is
rank, and where sowing is delayed a
few days after the last cultivation,
that the resulting shade so retards the
growth of the cowpeas that a salts
factory growth can not be secured.
Where this method is used, therefore,
the corn should be laid by a little
earlier than usual and this drilling in
OF the cowpeas may serve as the last
cultivation. The best implement for
sowing is one-horse drill from which
the outer discs or hoes have been re-
moved, thus putting three rows in
each middle. There is too much in
jury to the corn roots if these are left
on. The best variety for this purpose
is usually the New Era, although the
Whipporwill and the Black are also
good. The variety should be one of
medium early maturity, and one that
Ices not tend to vine much.
1t has been found by the Expert
nent Station that cowpeas sown in
he corn in this way act to certain
'xtent like weeds, cutting the yield of
;orn from two to five bushels because

especially true in dry seasons, but

These rotations have the advantage
OF two or three legume crops in every
round of the rotation, in addition t.
the regular grain crops. They are
especially adapted, therefore, to lands
Of rather low fertility and systems o.
live stock farming.
Sowing Cowpeas in Corn
The use of cowpeas in the corn as
a pasture crop for hogs or sheep is
coming into considerable prominence
in Missouri. They are either drilled
in at the same time corn is planted, or
they may be seeded at the last cult
walton of the crop. Where drilled in
with the corn they may be mixed in
the planter box or they may be put in
with special device which is now on
the market for sowing cowpeas from
separate hopper at the same time
the corn is being planted. When
sown with the corn in this way, it is
usually necessary to use an early
variety of corn and plant it late, about
the last of May, if the best results are
to be secured. Many men are prac-
ticing this system and then hogging
the whole down. It has been found
that mixture of cowpeas and corn
hogged down in this way, is a cheap
way of making pork. This method
has the disadvantage of not allowing
a very uniform stand of corn unless
the special cowpea planting device be
used, and also it necessitates some
what later planting than is usually
thought best, although some men are
oracticing sowing the seeds with the
:orn at the usual time of planting,
With generally good results. It has
he advantage of getting a more uni
'orm stand of peas and bringing a
anger production of pods. The best
