short time ard Livingstone did not
finish. saving himself for the next
race. the Junior Fights.
Both the eXHarvard men had it all
their own way, and Gardiner in the
early stages OF the fight was looked
upon as an easy winner. At the half
he had it by nearly length, but Aver,

Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, a

cratic senators to rebel He an
nounced boldly that he had stood by
the caucus action on the tariff bill pro
per. Although he did not like caucus
rule, he could see how the evil should
be tolerated in such complicated mat
ter as a tariff. But the income tax
was not properly a part of the tariff
and for one he felt free to follow his
own judgment about income taxes. He
wanted heavy surtax laid upon cor
porations that are doing monopolistic
business and his amendment to that
effect was voted down. But the ad-
verse vote did not avail to quell the
Democratic uprising and. as already in
dictated. the Democratic leaders, had
to take the movement in hand and
make concessions. All in all it was the
most important incident of the tariff
bill, since that measure got before the
Senate. 1t shows what determined
spirit against large wealth is abroad
and has caused the legislators at the
Capitol to pause and contemplate.

Missouri Should Grow More Cow
Peas.

The cOwpea crop is not suffi-
GENTLY appreciated in most parts
of Missouri. AS land becomes
higher in price and as it becomes
more and more necessary to
maintain the fertility to secure
a net return, cOwpeas or similar
crops must come into more gen
eral use. They build up the
soil, as does clover, but they
have the advantage Of a much
shorter growing season and Of
lending themselves for use as a
catch crop to be plowed under
or pasturad down for soil build
ing purposes.
/ 1t is true that cOwpea seeds is
somewhat expensive and that
cowpeas are hard to cure, but
the return that can be secured
from them when a man under
stan1s how to handle them is as
great or greater than that from
clover. At present, practically
all the cowpea seed in Missouri
is produced IN the Southeast Mis-
souri, lowlands. There is no
reason why the uplands of Cen
trail OR South Missouri cannot
produce cowpea seed profitably.
This would cheaper the cost of
seed for the Individual former.
Small pea threshers are now on
the market which will enable
farmers growing small amounts
of peas to save their own seed
and even put some on the mar
ket.
The GARNER on average to thin
land in Missouri who expects to
make good net returns from now
on, will usually find the cowpea
