Newest Sweaters,

The newest sweaters are Of knitted
silk instead OF wool These cost $16.74
each. They are designed with large
patch pocket and have no collar
Long sleeves make them useful and
up.to.date. Six large buttons are
placed regularly down the front eise.
The colors are varied, green in the
latest tint, rose, tan, etc. Others
knitted of shaded silk are priced as
high as $50, but most women will
hesitate to buy them, as excellent
cloth coats may now be had at th4t
price. The greatest recommendation
of the silk sweater is that 1t fits more
snugly than the wool one. and so II
worn under the coat makes no
wrinkles nor bulkiness.

trashy. 1t is advisable to disk ahead
of the drill behind the binder. The
objection to this practice is the
amount of labor required at harvest
time. It is possible 10 SOW cow-peas
after oats or wheat have been threshed
or stacked If the grain Is removed
from the field at as early date as
possible. 1t Is not advisable, however,
to delay the seeding of the cow-peas
much after July 10 in Eastern and
Central Kansas.
When cow-peas are not sown until
after the grain is removed from the
field two methods Of seeding may be
followed. First, the stubble may be
double disked and the cow-peas seeded
in drill rows six to eight inches apart.
When planting in this manner, the
grain drill will prove the most salts
factory implement and should be set
to SOW about six pecks Of wheat an
acre, which will SOW the peas at the
rate Of a bushel to one and one-quarter
bushels an acre. Planting in close
drill rows in this way does not re.
quire later interculture, and from the
economy of work is the cheapest prac-
tice. The other method of planting 10
to plant in rows three feet to three
and one.half feet apart and cultivate.
II planted in rows the cow-peas may
be planted with a corn planter.
In ordinary seasons in Eastern Kan
sas a good crop of cow-peas for green
manuring can be secured by planting
after wheat and oats. This practice
cannot be recommended for the west
ern third OF Kansas and will only
prove profitable in Central Kansas in
years when the late summer rainfall
Is above normal.

SOUR FIELDS HELPED BY THE USE OF LIME

OF nitrogen. It Is best to allow a
period OF six months to one year to
elapse between applications OF lime
and manure.
Whether to use raw, finely ground
limestone or burned lime is usually
determined by the cost of these forms
Of lime. II finely ground limestone
is used, It should be applied at least
year before benefits are expected
to be derived from 1t. The burned
lime, however does not need to be
applied SO far In advance.
Finely ground limestone should be
spread over the surface of the soil,
after blowing. with a manure spreader
or by spreading It with shovel from
a wagon at the rate OF from two to
four tons per acre, every four to six
years. or once in a rotation. After
spreading, the lime should be incor-
porated into the soil by the use OF
harrow.
The application OF burned lime Is
longer process and requires greater
care. Before spreading the burned
lime II must be Stacked. This may be
done either by allowing It to stand 70
large piles after burning until the
Stacking process has taken place, be-
for hauling It to the field where It may
be applied In the same manner as
ground limestone, or by putting It in
heaps Of two TO four bushels each In
the field and covering 1t with a thin
layer OF soil and then spread 4 with q
shovel after the Stacking has taken
place.
AS the burned limestone contains
more calcium than the ground lime
stone. from one and one-half 10 two
tons win give good results On the

plant food which the roots of other
other crops plaT:ed after the cow-peas.
The cow-pea has an advantage over
other crops which are not legumes, in
that 1t Is able 10 use free nitrogen OF
the air through the aid of bacteria
which live upon its roots. The plow-
ing under of a crop OF green cow-peas
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
nitrogen may result from the decay
of the roots left in the soil.
In many soils in this state nitrogen
is the limiting element Of fertility and
anything that will increase the nitro
gen supply in the soil will increase the
soils productiveness. The cow.pea
having the ability to secure nitrogen
from the atmosphere, not only pro-
duces more abundantly than any crop
not having this power, but leaves the
soil in better condition for the crops
which follow.
Growing cow-peas is practical way
Of maintaining the nitrogen and
humus supply Of the soil, especially
on farms keeping little live stock, but
upon a stock farm a green manuring
crop should not be expected to replace
barnyard manure, but rather to sup
plement 1t. Upon stock farms where
cow.peas are grown as catch crop
after wheat or oats for soil improve
ment, it will be found more profitable
to pasture the cow-peas rather than to
pillow under the entire crop. While
some of the beneficial effects OF the
cowpea is lost by this practice, yet by

Hundreds OF farmers in Eastern and
Southeastern Kansas have failed many
times in their attempts to grow clover
and alfalfa. Most Of these failures
are due to the condition Of the soil,
for acid or sour soils do not furnish
q favorable home for these or other
legumlnous plants, or for the bacteria
flora which is so essential to their
growth. Many field and laboratory
tests have been made OF the soils Of
Southeastern Kansas. and invariably
they have been found to be acid.
These tests, the growth Of sorrel and
other acid loving plants, and the lack
of sweet clover indicate that the soils
OF that sec1on are sour and must have
