fiscal year, October 1, will fna the same
rate Of taxation in effect, in all probable
ity. It is believed among county Off
Gals that there will be no change Of the
rate at Tuesdays called session Of the
county commissioners.
- believe there viii be no change at all
in the rate. but / am not certain" said
Shelby Smith, one Of the commissioners,
today.
The tax returns Of the county this year
show an increase Of about s13 600 600,
and this amount will bring in more than
S65, 900 in taxes. An even larger increase
probably will be made next year, so a lay
man naturally would conclude that there
is no necessity for the increased rate
But we can not do this thing by guess

penses, and with the estimated amount of
revenue to be received. This viii be con-

Cowpea Hay for Dairy Cows.
University Bulletin.

University Bulletin.
What about the hay crop? Will
you have plenty of good forage for
next winter or will you be forced to
fall back on straw or crab grass hay?
Cows can not maintain their milk
yields unless fed literally of the right
kinds of feeds. These feeds must
contain a relatively large amount of
protein. This is furnished most
cheaply in forage. 1t is not found in
sufficient quantities for milk cows in
timothy, prairie grass, crab grass,
sorghum, or straw, but is found in
cowpea, soy bean, alfalfa or clover
hay.
Cowpea hay has about the same
feeding value as alfalfa and in some
better than clover. Cowpeas can be
sown after wheat or oats, and will
generally mature enough to cut for
hay before frost. AS soon as the
crop which they are to follow is re-
moved the stubble land should be
double disced and then narrowed to
make the best possible seed bed.
The seeding can be done with an or
binary grain drill using the oat cups
wide open. This will SOW at the rate
of four or five pecks to the acre.
1t is best to cut the peas for hay
when the first pods ripen, shocking
them in narrow, high shocks the day
after cutting, and allowing to cure in
the shock for a couple of weeks.
With favorable weather the hay will
be ready for bale, stack or NOV
away at the end of that time. Rains
do not harm the hay very much when
in the shock.
On average soil sown as indicated
above in an average season, cowpea
hay makes about a ton per acre.
Farmers with dairy cows or any 9TH
er live stock should SOW as much as
possible on stubble or any other va
cant land. Now is the time to get
ready to sow.
