The shrewd farmer is finding more
than one way in which to meet the
crying need for more help. One Of
the most profitable methods Is to grow
cowpeas and let the hogs do their own

L Cowpeas may be seeded in the corn
at the last cultivation or they may be

To be sure of stand 1t Is best to

and plowed in, but this method is not
so sure of securing stand as Is the
method Of drilling them.
Where planted in the row the best
plan is to use special cowpea plant

to name the petitioners at the next

pose different forms of dress, which
will be simple and inexpensive. Ger
