threefourths corn it makes an excel
lent silage. At this statiOn-Man-
hattan-We have planted cowpeas in
corn at the last cultivation for a num-
Der of seasons and usually they make
a fair growth. But if the fall is dry
the peas do not make much growth
until the corn is mature.
The growing of cOwpeas greatly
improves the soil. Being rank feed
er and deep rooted, the crop is able
to use plant food which the roots of
other plants may not secure. Much of
this plant food later becomes avail
able to other crops planted after the
rotation with cowpeas. This crop
has the advantage over other crops
which are not legumes, in that it is
able to use the free nitrogen Of the
air through the aid of the bacteria
which live upon it's roots. The plOw-
ing under of crop of green cowpeas
will greatly increase the supply Of
humus and nitrogen in the soil, and
even when the crop is harvested for
hay or seed some increase in soil will
result from the decay of the roots
left in the SOIL
IN most soils of this state nitrogen
is the limiting element of fertility,
and anything that will increase the
nitrogen supply of the soil will in
crease the soils productiveness. The
cowpea, having this ability to secure
nitrogen from the atmosphere, not
only produces more abundantly than
crop not having this power, but
leaves the soil in better condition
for the crops which follow.

in the fall, and follow with corn the
next year. a common practice at this
station is to plant the cOwpeas dur
ing the wheat harvest, following the
binder directly with a single-disk
drill; or, if the stubble land is weedy
or trashy, it is advisable to disk
ahead Of the drill behind the binder,
thus preparing a more suitable seed
bed. Thus when the harvest is fin
ished the field has been replanted
and, if the extra labor can be supplied,
this is an economy of time, and the
new crop will have all the advantages
which may come by timely rains and
favorable growing conditions II 1t
is not possible to plant during the
harvest of the grain, then the cow
peas may be sown as soon as possible
after the harvest, preferably disking
ahead of the drill between the rows
Of shocks. Planted in this way at
this station, cowpeas have made
growth of twelve to eighteen inches
by the last of September, when the
crop was plowed under. Such fall
plowed land lis in excellent condition
for corn the next season, since there
is sufficient time between the blowing
under of the cowpeas and the plant
ing of corn for the cowpeas to decay
and for the moisture to become re-
plenished in the soil.
