alive plan.
-Four courses are offered: Lumber
ing, a detailed study OF large logging
and sawmill operations; Forest Men
suration, methods of estimating tim
Der; Silyiculture, methods Of marking
timber to secure reproduction and 10
improve the character and growth of
forests; Folest Engineering, rough
methods OF surveying, topographic
mapping and location OF logging rail
roads.
COwpaas and Soy Beans vs. Weeds.
A good plant can be grown wherever
a weed will grow. Weed growing does
not pay. To grow fewer weeds should
be problem with each farmer. To a
very great degree many farmers are
solving the question, and the various
ways Of growing cowpeas and soy beans, |
and the uses made, are the chief factors
in the solution Of this problem on many
Missouri farms. Their quick growing
habits make it possible to grow them
under a great many circumstances and
TO set forth few OF the ways OF grow
ing is the object of bulletin written
by S. M. Jordan, manager Of the Pettis
County Bureau Of Agriculture, and
distributed by the Missouri Bankers
Association.
They may be grown for hay or for
seed. The most common method
with cowpeas is to drill with grain
drill, using each drill hoe, dropping
peas from 3 to 4 inches apart in the
rows, Soy beans are best drilled in
rows from % to 80 inches apart and
from to four inches in drill row, and
cultivate two or three times lightly.
is sometimes done with grain
drill by stopping up some Of the holes.
Both COW peas and soy beans usually
seed better in a medium than a rich
soil. They also commonly seed better
in the same soil after the first year.
for seed or hay should COM
monty not be done much before the
first Of June.
Catch crops Of COW peas may be
grown after an oat or wheat crop has
been cut. Sown as late as July 10,
they often make good hay crop or a
pasture or may be turned under for
green manure. Where a stand Of corn
is not too thick they may also be sown
the rows when corn is laid by.
This is best done with a one horse
grain drill made for drilling grain be-
tween corn lows.
The outside drill holes may be
stopped and three rows only drilled, as
this is commonly enough to cover the
ground well to prevent weed growth.
Where the stand Of corn is heavy it is
not likely that the peas could do much.
For these catch crops New Era COW
peas are best.
For planting in the hills with the
corn many prefer the soy bean, as it
can safely be planted little earlier
than it is safe to plant COW peas. Soy |
beans do not vine, hence do not in
