Washington, Nov. 7.-Officials Of the bureau of animal industry enlisted today the cooperation of state off cials in the fight to stamp out the epidemic of foot and mouth disease which resulted in a cattle quarantine covering ten states. With the strict maintenance of the quarantine as al, present established, the immediate destruction of all infected herds, and close inspection of all suspected cen ters, the bureau believes it now has the situation under control
 Under the plans of the departmen state officials will establish local quarantines in the states now cut off from interstate shipments in order to localize the infected territory as mar rowly as possible. hen both state and federal officials will cooperate in destroying infected cattle, for which owners will receive compensation to be fixed by appraisers selected by the department of agriculture
 No immediate effect on meat prices to the consumer is looked for.
 There is plentiful supply of dressed meat. and of cattle outside Of the quarantned states.
 Advices received here say various states, including Kansas, Nebraska, Montana and others, are establishing quarantines against incoming cattle from infected or suspected areas.

allowance for land values because
his land cost him nothing, or practi-

The cheap lands Of the West have
gone, and now when the Western
farmer sells his crop he must add IS
to $40 per acre as an allowance for
rent or for interest on land values.
And because Of this fact crops simply
can't be sold as cheaply as formerly.
Then, too, city populations have
increased faster than country popu-

is beginning to see that the source of
al prosperity is the fam. But the
one best sign is that the farmers

What Crops Can Be SoWn At The
Last Working OF Corn
And Cotton7

IN the section north Of the Cotton
Belt crimson clover and rape are
crops sometimes SoWn at the last
working OF corn This is only pfae-
ticable when corn is cultivated unfit
the latter part Of August OF the sea
sons are short and the weather is
not too hot after the corn is laid by.
In that portion OF The Progressive
Farmer territory living north Of the
Cotton Belt crimson clover may be
sown az the last working Of the corn
II It IS cultivated pretty late.
But the crop which should be
soWn in coin when il is given its
last working is cowpeaS. All things
considered, there Is no other crop
the equal Of cowpeas for sowing in
corn in the Cotton Belt.
Cotton is usually cultivated to a
later date and offers better oppor-
tunties for sowing winter-growinR
cover crops Al the last working. In
the northern third Of the Cotton
Belt where the cotton is cultivated
Up into August, crimson clover, bur
clover, vetch and rye may be sown
at the last working. but as a general
rule we DO not advise the sowing Of
these crops in cotton at the last
working. We believe that in pfaeti-
cally all cases, especially in the
southern two-thirds of the Cotton
Belt, these crops do better sown inn
medlately after first picking.
There are objections offered to the
sowing Of cowpeas in corn and Of
any Of these winter-growing cover
crops in cotton. When the corn is
heavy, planted as thick as i should
be on good Land and cultivated as
late as a dry season demands, it is
apt to be so thick that cowpeas will
make little growth. Fortunately
such land needs the cowpeas less.
but they will make growth enough
in any cornfield to pay for sowing.
| On lands where cotton grows
large and late and is usually planted
| thicker than It sould be, the same
objections are made to sowing any
crop in cotton. Cotton so thick thai
eri mson clover, bur clover, oats and
rye cannot be sown after the frsl
picking, has been allowed to stanc
too thick for the best cotton yield.
II appears, therefore, from the
foregoing, that about the only crops
to Le generally Sowed in the corr
; when laid by is cowpeas, and tina
there is no suitable crop for sowing
at the last working Of cotton. Th'
observations of the writer suppof
