 Many plant seed between corn, as they supply nitrogen, thus helping the corn. Often a row of soys are drilled to every two or three rows of corn or cotton. 1 prefer to raise them by them selves as part of rotation, as the rows of soys can be drilled 7ery close, while other crops need more space. Frequent shal-

In gathering the crop watch the caves. When they begin to turn yellow, cut for hay. When near ly Dry 1 put in barn on poles, thus allowing the air to circulate through it, as do with alfalfa.
 The use of hay caps of duck or canvas pays better than piling it up on snags. When the seed is wished, wait until the leaves fall but cut before pods begin to open.
 The only objection to the soys is that rabbits often cut off great quantities of young plants. These pests can be poisoned with a weak | of Paris green, but 1 find the frequent rains wash it off.

MORE ABOUT SOY BEANS

1 am very glad that you are calling attention to soy beans as a playing crop. After three large crops I find they measure up to the claims made for them. On good soil they produce an excel lent burden of prime hay or she'll ed beans. Wefnd thatthe beans equal cottonseed meal are much cheaper, As a forage or grain crop they are an excellent rich feed for cows, horses and swine. It is a mistake to rely on corn go much as feed. Our animals would be stronger and live long CT if we fed more legumes. The manure from legumes is vastly better. My neighbors relate how their soy beans help them out in their feedings. Many house. wives find them palatable when cooked as cowpeas,

4 FEW WORDS ABOUT ELECTION LAWS

In order to have the kind of government We should have, we must have good election laws and an enfol cement of the same. It matters not how good our laws may be, they will amount to very little if not enforced. The old cry that there is salways fraud on both sides" excuses fraud on neither side, and all patriotic, liberty-loving citizens should de- mand that fraud be cut out on both sides. They should not rest until we assured of d square deal at our elections. With good election laws properly enforced will come cleaner politics. Many demagogues who pose as country savers but whose chief aim is to save themselves, would give peace to men in politics who are true men-men who are truthful at all times; men who gre straight
