Maintaining the Nitrogen Of the Soil.

gen along with smaller amounts of
phosphorus and potash. Cotton-seed
meal has been used very much as
fertilizer In the South and is about the
best form of vegetable material to use.
Animal materials used as fertilizers
are the by-products of animals. Dried
blood Is a good example. 1t Is prepar-
ed for market by evaporating, drying
and grinding the blood. 1t usually con.
tains from IL to Is per cent nitrogen.
The manure of the farm adds good
deal Of nitrogen IL cared for and put
out at the proper time and in the
proper way. 1t also adds phosphorus
and potash and serves to keep up the
humus Of the soil and hold the mois-
ture better.
Another method of adding nitrogen
is by the nitrogen-gathering plants.
The leguminous plants act as the best
and cheapest source of nitrogen. They
are, In fact, the only economical means
of maintaining the nitrogen Of the soil.
Any Of the legumes are good for add
Ing nitrogen to the soil, but some are
better adapted for certain localities
than others. In the South the clovers
cowpeas, soy beans, alfalfa, peanuts
and lespedeZa are commonly used. The
soil must be inoculated before most OF
these plants will grow. After short
time the majority Of them will inocu
late themselves, but it pays best to get
the land inoculated the first year they
are grown.
Leguminous plants are well adapted
to fit into good system of crop rota
ton. They are planted to be fed tc
live stock and they add the nitrogen
rather as side issue. No good CROP
rotation can be established without
the use Of legumes. They have many
special advantages, such as growing
when other crops will not, enrichinf
the soil with nitrogen, serving al
cover crop for the winter, etc.
Nitrogen can be added to the sol
in many different ways and by using
different materials, but by the use o.
legumes 1t can be supplied with prac
tically no cost at all, considering tina
the plants are grown for other purposes

corn has been harvested. In this man
ner all the organic matter Is left on the
field and all the manure is left evenly
distributed over the SOIL
When grown alone cowpeas do not
make first rate silage, as they are
hard to handle and the silage Ia not of
the best quality. However, when COM
bined with corn in the proportion OF
one-fourth cowpeas and three-fourths
corn, an excellent quality of silage ia
obtained. The silage is fully 10 per
cent more nutritious than corn alone.
Cowpeas are very satisfactory as q
soiling crop. BY planting several va
rieties an abundant supply Of succu-
lent green feed may be had throughout
the summer and fall.
AS soil improver, the cowpea Is the
best we have in Louisiana or In the
whole South. The benefits derived are
largely modified by the use we make
of the crop, as about Is per cent Of the
total matter Of the crop is contained
in the roots and stubbles, the other
S5 per cent being contained in the
vines and seed. So by removing all
the hay we have very small part Of
the fertilizing value left on the soil.
But If we turn under good crop Of
cowpeas we get from eight to ten dol
lars worth of fertilizer per acre, be-
sides the organic matter, which is
equally as valuable on our sandy soils
as the fertilizer. A good crop contains
about so to 80 pounds Of nitrogen,
which it draws mostly from the air,
80 pounds Of potash, and 10 to 20
pounds Of phosphoric acid. From this
1t Is readily seen that a marked benefit
would be derived by the succeeding
crop.
The cowpea has been extensively
used in the Southern States for human
consumption. 1t Is most nutritious
food stuff from which a large number
of palatable as well as economical
dishes can be prepared. The white.
seeded varieties are generally used for
this purpose.

TICK ERADICATION.

Madison, Tensas and Claiborne are
the only parishes in Louisiana so far
cleaned of cattle ticks and released
from federal quarantine. There should
be more.
Mississippi has twenty.eight whole
counties, and parts Of others out of the
federal quarantine. Mississippi and
Louisiana began to eradicate ticks at
the same time-(1906).
Tensas parish got rid Of her ticks in
five months, april to September l,
1910. 1t cost the parish only fifty
cents per head of cattle, and the same
animals are worth 81 per head more.
Tensas dipped about $4,000 head of
cattle. At 81 per head increase. she
has raised the value of her present
stock of cattle $91,00OOO.
The last United States census gave
Louisiana about 100000 head Of cattle;
a gain of 81 a head would increase the
present value of the cattle Of the state
about s5,6OO,OOO.0O.
About one-third of the original tick
infested area In the South has been
totally cleared Of ticks. The dipping
vat and the standard arsenical solution,
aided by systematic work. are resDon-
sible for all that has been accomplish
ed in tick eradication work In the
South.
So long as the state has ticks, 1t will
be under federal restrictions, and its
cattle prevented from entering the best
markets. AS soon as it Is tick-free, the
markets of the world will be open to
them.-W. H. Dalrymple, Professor Of
Veterinary Science, L. 8. U.

HOMEGROWN BEAN SEED PRE-.
FERABLE FOR PLANTING
IN LOUISIANA.

1t is always advisable, If possible, to
use homegrown bean seed for planting
in this state. Beans which are pur.
chased on the northern market are
very liable to be affected with the
disease known as the pod spot or an.
thracnose. This disease is primarily
a disease of cool climates but it readily
affects beans in the spring in the South.
If the seed are affected the disease
will break out upon the young plants
and also upon the pods in due season.
Seed which is raised in the South dur.
ing the fall season is not affected
with this disease. To mature crop
of beans in the fall it Is necessary to
plant some time in the early part of
August. The anthracnose disease will
be killed out by the hot weather, and
the beans will develop perfectly
healthy. If healthy seed is planted In
the spring there will be no develop
'ment of this serious disease. There
Is no other way of controlling the
anthracnose disease and there lie al.
ways a chance of bringing it In If the
growers depend upon northern-grown
seed. Further information on this sub
ject may be obtained from Bulletin
No. 199 Of the Louisiana Experiment

The nitrogen that has been supplied
by nature to the soil has already been
exhausted In many soils, and the new
lands are being taken up very rapidly.
One hundred years ago If a farmer
wanted better land he cleared a new
field and let the old one lie out. to be
washed away. At the present time the
farmer must realize the Importance OF
maintaining the nitrogen in his soil,
because the new lands are not 80
plentiful.
tits natural for man to resort to
the cheapest way Of doing things that
will give the best returns. So when
farmer thinks of keeping plenty OF
nitrogen In the SOIL he first tries to
find out which is the cheapest method
of adding the nitrogen.
There are several ways OF adding
nitrogen to the soil: Inorganic or min
eral compounds, as sodium nitrate;
vegetable materials, as cotton-seed
meal; animal materials, as dried blood;
compost; and nitrogen-gathering plants
Any Of the legumes as clover, alfalfa
etc., are good examples.
The mineral compounds came from
natural deposits mostly, until recently
At the present time they are, In IN
creasing amounts, the direct product
of manufacture. Sodium nitrate Ii
commonly called Chilli saltpeter ant
contains over 16 per cent nitrogen
when chemically pure. The present
annual output of sodium nitrate Is 2,
SOC, 900 tons, containing nearly 100000
tons Of nitrogen. Only part OF this IL
used for agriculture, as great part o.
lit is used in manufactures. This form
of nitrogen is very expensive, costing
about twenty cents per pound.
| A good example Of the vegetable
materials is cotton-seed meal. This Il
the product formed when oil Is remov
led from cotton seed, after which thu
extracted residue is ground fine. Th'
annual yield Of cotton seed in thu
UNITED States is about six million tons
most of which is used for production
of oil and meal. When Of good quality
it contains about seven per cent nitro

Cowpeas and Their Use,

A history Of the agriculture Of our
Southern States, and especially Louis.
lana, would be far from complete un-
less 1t included a sketch of the coWpea
and the important part it has taken In
the development of our present system
of agriculture. The value of the cow
pea for hay, grazing, catch and cover
crop, and for soil improvement is we'll
known and thoroughly appreciated by
farmers. Its value as feed for all
kinds of animals is fully equal to that
Of red clover. Besides, as a green
manure crop it greatly increases the
humus and nitrogen content of the soil.
The cowpea finds place in any rota-
ton as pure culture crop, for hay,
seed, soiling, pasturing, etc., or as
companion crop with corn for soil inn
proVement, seed production, pasturage,
or to be cut with the corn for silage.
In Louisiana no rotation is complete
without coWpeas occurring at frequent
intervals. The most common and best
rotations for this state are:
LIST year.-Corn, planted to peas at
last cultivation. The peas may be pick
ed and cut for hay or grazed until time
to turn under in the fall.
End year.-Turn under coWpeas of
the first year and plant oats which
may be cut off in June and followed by
cowpeas, which may be used for hay,
seed or pasturage.
Bird year.-Cotton. After second pick
ing drill In some kind of clover as
crimson, red or alsike. Pasture these
during the winter and turn them under
in the spring as a green manure crop
in preparation for corn.
Another rotation that has become
very popular in sections where lespe-
0eZa Is grown Is:
lat year.-Corn with peas at last
cultivation.
End year.-Oats, seeded in fall of
first year, then seeded broadcast to
lespedeza in February. The lespedeza
coming of as hay crop after the har-
vesting Of the oats in June.
3rd year.-Lespedeza, which reseeds
itself in fall of the second year.
Cowpea hay, when we'll cured, is a
most valuable and nutritious dry
forage. 1t may be satisfactorily fed to
all classes Of animals - work stock,
beef or milk producers. The hay may
be rather difficult to cure, especially If
the weather Is not favorable. But with
the hot sunny days we have In the
South we seldom have much trouble In
properly curing the hay.
In growing cowpeas for hay 1t Is
very advantageous to grow In combi-
nation with other crops giving great.
or variety and larger yield Of forage.
Corn Is used very extensively with
cowpeas, but perhaps the most widely
used is sorghum. Other crops that can
be used are sudan grass and soy beans.
The value Of cowpeas for seed alone
is very great, since they are very rich.
However, very few are used for feed,
as the prices range from one to three
dollars per bushel for planting pur-
poses. The varieties best adapted to
Louisiana conditions are the clay, whip
porwill, unknown, new era, iron, conch,
crowder, etc.
The cowpea affords excellent pas.

nish good grazing from early summer
until late fall. The best method Of
