The first picture illustrates the Canadian pea. growing o the South
Dakota Experiment Station field. The Canadian pea is valuable either al
a forage crop or ~ a grain crop and a be used for both purposes. It
can be soWn alone or mixed with oats. For seed production it should be
sown in double rows thirty n thirtysix inches apart and cultivated to
save moisture and to keep the weeds out. For forage it should be- sown
in rows six inches apart and at the rate Of n to two bushels per acre.
One and onehalf bushels per acre has been found a satisfactory rate Of
seeding. II sowing with oats mix three pecks of oats with three pecks
of peas per acre. Sow early in the spring Peas will gerninate at a
of April will probably prove the best time to: do the seeding.
As the Canadian pea is a legunhe crop and gathers. nitrogen it serves
a double purpose, because it enrches the soil as. we'll asgfurnishes a feed
crop. A small field o n the farm of Lee Slower in Codington county showed
nodules o n its roots. When nodules are found 1t indicates that
nitrogen is being taken from the air by the crop and that the soil is Sc.
ing enriched. @# ~ E&..#- - H@|t

The third picture illustrates a new, grass recently obtained by the
South Dakota Experiment Station through its cooperative relations with
the. United States department Of agriculture. This grass is a close rela--
ton Of the Johnson grass, sc we'll known in the South, but is unlike the
Johnson grass in that it must be sown every year, as the roots do not
" through, the winter. In the tests at the South Dakota Experiment
Station during the past two seasons it has proved a remarkable yielder.
One feeder who tried it in a small way reports that his cows ate the hay
with relish. So #s#&#a - @s#@@@
Comparatively little has been raised in the United States thus far,

FACE FULL OF PIMPLES

4240 So. California Ave-, Chicago, III.
About a year ago my face was full
Of pimples and red spots. To sleep
one night without itching was almost
impossible. Some of the pimples
would get big and red and if touched
them they would pain, while others
would get white heads on them and
when they broke open some matter
came out. They would burn and itch
and I scratched them SO that some
times they would break and bleed.
That always caused them to be worse.

creams and l found out that they did
me no good. / noticed the Cuticura

HARD TIMES TO FIGURE OUT
With Nobody Making Any Money Vaea-
ZIONIST Could Not Understand
Who Had Got His.

We called on friend at his office,
Wednesday morning, says the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. The reason We
called was that he had been on a va
cation, and we wanted to ask him II
he had had a good time and to tell
him how We had missed him. But as
we were ushered in, he didn't look
up from his work. He just went on
scribbling. waved us to a chair. and
said:
Now, don't distrust me any more
than you can help. Call me liar, but
don't rub it I'M"
What DO you mean?" we asked.
Then he looked up, and said:
"Oh! l thought it was my wife.
That's what | was going to say to her.
I'll tell. you how it is. The summer
hotelkeepers say they amt making
any money this year. The railroads
say they are running at loss. Every
public servant is whining about hard
times-hasn't been able to make a
cent See? Well, | spent $3.50 in the
last ten days, and I'm trying to figure
out how Icculd have spent that much
for board and bathing suits"

with Shirley and her mother, he did
not drive to Rosewood, but to his Of

bridge while Shirley waited in the
carriage, he unlocked the little tin
box that had been the majors, with
the key Mrs. cambridge gave him, and
put into her hands little packet of
yellow oiled-silk which bcre her name.
He noted that 1t agitated her pro-
foundly and as she thrust 1t into the
bosom Of her dress, her face seemed
stirred as he had never seen 1t. When
he put her again in the carriage, he
patted her shoulder with a touch far
gentler than his gruff goodby.
At Rosewood. at length, alone in her
room, she sat down with the packet in
her hands. During the long hours
since first the little key had lain in
her palm like live coal, she had been
all afre with eagerness. Now the
moment had come, she was ain ost

to do with values, doubtless the sup,
ply Of talk is what gives 1t bargain

Things that are cheap lack enduring

seemed to master him, and presently
he began to call Shirley by her moth

into his eyes; a subtle paradoxical
boyishness. His cheek tinged with
color. The deep lines about his mouth
smoothed miraculously out.
Judith" he whispered, you
sure you told me the truth while ago,
when you said-you said"
"Yes, yes" Shirley answered, put.
ting her young arm under him, think

seemed vaguely to thread some vague
halluclnation.
He smiled again. "It makes II
easier" he said. He looked at Valiant

farther away. Beauty" he gasped

Unmade History.

At the presidents first call for
troops, militants took the field with
ardor. All they asked was to be
shown the enemy.
But the casualties of the ensuing
campaign were appalling. The re-
sources of the Red Cross were pitt
fully inadequate At times half the
combatants were seriously If not
mortally freckled.
Inevitably spirits dropped. A pickle
and banana were added to the daily
ration, but the response was not COM
mensurate with the expense.
What shall it profit woman to
prove that she can fight as we'll as a
man and lose her complexion" SOL
diers were heard to ask one another
omninously.

Alfred Noyes, the exponent of pay
ing poetry" told a good story at
Princeton.
"One morning" he said, my work
was interrupted by a westerner. He
rushed in on me enthusiastically He
bruised my hand with the power of his
cordial clasp. He made me sit down
and write my name 80 times on a
sheet of foolscap that he drew from his
pocket-he wanted to distribute, he
explained my autograph among all his
friends. He even urged me to write a
poem for him-to dash a poem off
while he looked on. This failing, he
would not go till had read him a
good half,dozen selections from my
works"
Mr.. Noyes sighed.
And all the time" he ended, 1.-The

calling turkeys. Soon huge hawk
alighted on the limb of tree nearby.

hawk was upon him. Splcer threw up

Renunciation.


The grim posse that gathered in
haste that afternoon did not ride far.
Its work had been singularly we'll
done. 1t brought back to Damory
court, however, white bulldog whose
broken leg made his would-be joyful
bark trail into sad whimper as his
owner took him into welcoming arms.
Next day the major was carried to
his final rest in the myrtled shadow Of
St Andrews. At the service the old
church was crowded to its doors.
Valiant occupied a humble place at
one side-the others, he knew, were
older friends than he. The light of the
late afternoon came dimly in through
the stained-glass windows and seemed
to clothe with subtle colors the voice
of the rector as he read the solemn
service. The responses came broken
ly, and their were tears on many faces.
Valiant could see the side-face of
the doctor, it's saturnine grimness
strangely moved, and beyond him,
Shirley and her mother. Many glanced
at them, for the majors will had been
opened that morning and few there
had been surprised to learn that, save
for a life-annuity for old Jereboam,
he had left everything he possessed
to Shirley. Miss Matte Sue was be-
side them, and between, wan with
weeping, sat Hickey Snyder. Shirley's
arm lay shelteringly about the small
shoulders as if 1t would stay the pas
sion of grief that from time to time
shook them.
The evening before had been further
darkened by the child's disappearance
and Miss Matte Sue had sat through
half the night in fearful anxiety. 1t
was Valiant who had solved the riddle.
In her first wild compunction, Hickey
had gasped out the story of her meet
ing with Greet King, his threat and
her own terrorized silence, and when
he heard of this he had guessed her
whereabouts. He had found her at
the Dome, in the deserted cabin from
which on a snowy night six years ago,
Shirley had rescued her. She had fed
there in her shabbiest dress, her toys
and trinkets left behind, taking with
her only string of blue glass beads
that had been Shirley's last Christmas
present
Let me stay!" she had walled. I'm
not fit to live down there! It's all my
fault that it happened. was coward
ought to stay here in Hells-Half-Acre
forever and ever!" Valiant had car
ried her back in his arms down the
mountain-she had been too spent to
walk
He thought of this now as he saw
that arm about the child in that pro
