Bulletin Mo. State Board Of Agriculture.
The Place for Cowpeas in the Rotation
AS has already been mentioned,
cowpeas may follow corn readily, OF
they may follow any crop which
comes off by the middle of June.
Where they. are to form regular
crop in the rotation, however, the
ground should be prepared thorough
ly, usually during May, and the peas
seeded about the first of June.
A good rotation where cowpeas are
used as regular crop is one consist
ing of corn the first year, cowpeas the
second, wheat the third, and clover
the fourth. In this rotation, rye,
wheat or barley may be seeded in the
corn in the fall or late summer to pre-
vent winter washing, and to give
spring pasture. This may be pastured
during the winter and spring, plowed
under during May, and the land sown
to cowpeas, which can then be har-
vested early enough to seed the land
to wheat in the fall. It will not be
necessary to replow the land after
cowpeas if they are reasonably clean
of weeds, as disc or spring tooth
and drag harrow, will usually put the
land into good condition for wheat.
Wheat does not do we'll after peas in
some cases, due to causes not entire
ly understood, but partly because the
peas leave the land most too loose for
wheat. In such cases a roller should
be used to give itgreater compactness.
Clover should, of course, be seeded
on this wheat ground in the spring
and harvested as a regular crop the
fourth year.
Where more corn is desired in the |
corn may follow corn the
second year and this be followed by
wheat and clover, as sug-
gested above. This will make five
year rotation, and where the land is
in corn two years in succession it will
be possible to seed cowpeas in the
corn the first year to be pastured off
BY hogs or sheep, and then to seed
we the second year for spring pasture.
Where Z larger amount Of hay is de-
ired clover and timothy can be
mixed and allowed to stand two years, [

this way for sheep pasture. 1t has
been found that sheep will clean up
the cowpeas and lower blades of the
corn with little injury to the ears; or
if left on longer the corn will be en-
tirely consumed. Both methods are
practiced with lambs or western
sheep with good results.

"$15, 900 A YEAR FOR
8 YEARS OR IDON'T
PLAY" SAYS T. COBB

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 19.-Ty Cobb,
the wonderful fielder, announced today
that he would not sign with the De-
trott Americans for less than $4,000,
under a three year contract.
Evidently the matter will come to a
deadlock by spring. President Frank
Navin has declared positively that he
will not pay Cobb or anybody else. what
he considers an extravagantly large
salary, and Cobb is equally determined
that he will not play for less.
Considering that Cobb has saved his
money and invested it well. and that he
married a wealthy girl, there is no rea-
son why he should not lay off year
if he cared to.
II will not be at all surprising if the
opening of the American league season
finds Cobb off the Detroit lineup.

made famous a position which
Hermann has been trying to fill
for years.
Lucky To Fill Weak Spot.
You know this thing of filling a
weak spot is one of the hardest
things in the game. Remember how
the Cubs tried to find a second
baseman before they secured Evers?
John T Brush used to say that
magnate was lucky if he discovered
star to succeed star within
eight years. That is, if a team had
a great second baseman and lost
him that the magnate was lucky if
he got another as good within eight
years. They have been longer than
that getting star shortstop in
Cincinnati.

Determination Another Trait.
Another trait which athletics de-
velop is determination. No matter
what contest an athlete enters into,
he is determined to win. Be II a
track meet, baseball game. foot
ball game or a boat race, it is al
ways that spirit Of determination
that carries him through And
with this spirit to win must be
coupled the ability to be a gobd
loser, to suffer disappointments
and come back stronger than ever.

~HE benefit of athletics is al
ways an interesting topic,

The same thing IS true of the
more serious athletic sports Of the
youth In preparatory school and
college. Here, athletics are run on
scientific basis. Clever and com

branch of sport, and the contests
are very even, especially between
the big rivals.
in college, especially, is the spirit
Of manliness developed. In foot
ball the coaches teach the men to
plav hard football-but to play the
game fairly and clearly. When an
athlete gets into a big game Of
football he is opposed by men who
are his equals. He must fight his
hardest to win, yet he must always
keep his head. he must always play
cIeanly. he must always remember
that there is something else in
football besides the mere playing
of The game.
This spirit Of manliness was well

a MANAGER wasn't all that
n Garry Hermann wanted, and
it wasn't all that he secured
when he got Joe Tinker as man
ager of the Reds.
He wanted a shortStop and he Sc
cured one. and if Joe will go down
there and play the game that he
did for the Cubs, the chances are
that he will be hailed as a great
manager.
For if Joe plays a good game at
short, the chances are that the Reds
will cut considerable figure in the
National league race. And If they
do that, Tinker will be hailed as a
great manager. For a successful
manager is rated by the standing
of his team.
A man may be joke as a boss,
but if he finds he's on top he is
said to be a wonder. Not that joke
managers are in the habit of land
ing their teams there, but it is pos
sible.
NOUS WEAK at OhoII.
Consequently, Joe's playing is
likely to have much to do with his
reputation as manager Some
teams have weak spots. The Pi-
rates for years have been howling
for a first baseman, and the cry
has gone UP there at the end of
every race that if they had pos
sessed first sacker of champion
ship caliber they would have land
ed the pennant. The Cubs last year
claimed that if they had possessed

CAMPAIGN OF MURDER.
DR.. E. r. Jones Relates Story of How
Men Robbed, Stole and Killed.

Mammoth Springs, Ark, June %.
Alleged details of a campaign Of
murder, cattle stealing and bank rob-
bing, resulting in the death of four
persons, the loss of innumerable cat
tie and the looting of at least one
bank, are contained in statement
made to-day by Dr.. E. R. Jones, un-
der arrest charged with participation
in the robbery of bank here several
weeks ago. Jones made a statement
denying his guilt but duplicating
Lotus Davis, Charles Davis, brothers,
and Howard Sears, all of whom are
under arrest charged with robblng
the Mammoth Springs bank.
Among the crimes charged to the
trio in Jones's statement is the muir
der of Mrs. Sears, a widow, whose
body was found in cistern near her
home May Is last.
Jones's statement says that Howard
Sears, son of the murdered woman.
formulated plan to steal his moth
er's cattle, but did not otherwise take
part in the affair. Two Davis broth
ers, co-conspirators, according TO
Jones, entered the Sears home on the
pretense that they wanted supper,
strangled Mrs. Sears, threw her body
into the cistern and later drove of
her cattle.
Then, Jones declares, the Davis
brothers rejoned young Sears. The
trio then proceeded to the Davis
ranch, says Jones, and on the way
they met stranger whom they rob-
bed and murdered, throwing his body
into Spring river.
Jones also charges the three men
with killing his own son, Ben Jones,
and Will Dabbs, both of whom mys-
teriously disappeared several weeks
ago.
Though they admit guilt in connec-
ton with the robbery of the Nam
moth Springs bank, the three men
stoutly deny the other crimes charged
to them in the Jones statement. They
charge that Jones was an accomplice
in the bank robbery. The charge
against Jones is yet to be tried.

9 It appears that Mayor Grace has
proved his case in the matter of graft
being paid by the blind tigers Of
Charleston for protection, and it
seems certain that if the governor
did not get any of the graft himself
he knew that it was being paid and
he knew who was getting it. AS to
why the mayor should have turned
against the governor we do not know,
and not being an admirer of either
official we can look on with equani-
nifty and judge impartially. At this
time, however, it appears that Grace
is equally cupable with Blease. He
should not have permitted conditions
to exist as long as they have, as it
appears he has known what was go
ing on for some time.
