Not only are Japanese exporters of
sugar to China now exempt from any
colt in China, but are materially bene-
fitting therefrom. On the outbreak of
the anti-Japanese increment, toward
the end Of March, Chinese dealers In
sugar In Shanghai organized them
selves into two opposing groups,
northern and southern. The northern
group resolved upon dealing solely
in Hongkong sugar, to the absolute
exclusion OF Japanese sugar, and
threw all manner OF obstacles in the
way Of the southern group The re-
suit was a complete stcppage Of ex-
ports TO China of Japanese sugar In
April and May. Taking advantage of
the scarcity OF japanese sugar on the
Shanghai market, dealers belonging to
the northern group pushed their sales
as hard as they could, with the newt
able result that their stocks entirely
ran out. while there was no hope Of
obtaining any large supply Of Hong
kong sugar.
At this psychologicAI moment a
fresh demand sprang up on the Shaflg-
hal and adjacent markets The ma
5oTity Of the members Of the northern
group seeded and, going over to the.
side or the southern group, laid In
stocks Of Japanese sugar almost ire
spectiye Of quotations. For the last
month, therefore, there has been q
remarkable activity In exports from
Japan; the Daf Nil1on Eeito Kaisha Is
said to have exported as much as 206,-s
900 bags, while forward contracts for
close on 100000 bags were made else.

figure edentedIy high. But for
che i-Japanese boycott, which
eventually enfailed extraordinary con-
dftions on the China market, forward
transactions would have been IN the
neighborhood of 8 yen ts4.4S2). AS it
is, the market continues In an upward
direction Consular Reports.

Acid soils are the cause Of many
crops. Most Florida
soils are acid and great number
of plants, especially the legumes,
do not grow well on acid land. 1t
therefore becomes necessary to
correct the acidity. Some form of
lime, commonly ground limestone,
is used for this purpose.
The amount of limestone to ap-
ply will depend upon the acidity
of the soil. Soils which are only
slightly acid will need from one
to two tons to the acre, according
to p. H. Rolls, director of the
University of Florida Experiment
Station. If a great deal OF acid
is present, the amount required
may be as much as eight to twelve
tons. In some cases it will not be
profitable to apply as much as the
soil requires, but the farmer
should put on as much as the IN

creased returns from the applica-
tion will justify.
The more finely the stone is
ground the more quickly it will
become available, but it should not
be too fine because it will leach
down and be wasted. The coarse
stone will remain in the soil and
be more lasting. DIR. G. G. Hop
kins of the Illinois Stations rec
ommends that the stone be Of such
size that it viii pass a sieve with
ten meshes to the square inch. The
finer products of the grinding will
supply such lime as is needed i'm
medialtely for the crop.
In addition to the legumes, eel
cry, lettuce, cabbage, citrus fruits,
hay and forage crops like a sweet
soil, and lime should be applied
to the land on which such crops
are to be grown.

COWPEAS WHEN
SKTLLFULLY CURED
MAKE A FINE HAY
When Managed Right No Crop
Makes Better
THE GREATEST FOOD VALUE
When There is Still a Largo Per
Centage of Bloom on the Vines
The Leaves are Then Highly
Nutritious

No crop makes better hay than
Icowpeas if they are managed
right. Most farmers let them
stand too long, and they become
woody, G. X. McQuarrie, of
Florida Extension Division, adj
Ivises that cowpeas be cut when
the first pods are in the snap stage
and when there is still a large per-
lcentage of blooms. Experiments
have shown that the greatest food
value is to be had at this stage.
If they stand longer, the stems be-
come woody and the leaves drop.
The leaves are the most highly
nutritious part of the plant and
they should be saved.
Do not run the mower when the
peas are wet with dew or rain be-
cause they will not dry and will
mould. Furthermore no peas
should be cut after / 0 clock in
the afternoon, because the hay
will not have time to cure enough
to rake before night. Dews dis
color the leaves, and the market
likes bright pea-green hay. Rake
in windrows before night and
make into small cocks if possible.
After two days three or four
small cocks may be put into a
large cock.
A great many farmers make the
mistake Of leaving their hay in the
field until it dries, becomes bleach
ed and even sun burned. Such
hay is little better than wood,
Cowpea hay can be safely put in
barn or stack when no water can
be rung from it by twisting a
small bunch. If it is left too long
the leaves will shatter, and the
feeding value will be diminished.
Mr.. Quarrie recommends that
the hay be put in the barn or rinck
to undergo the sweat. Sweating
is a curing process and it lends
flavor and palatability to the hay.
If the hay begins to sweat in the
cock, it should not be disturbed
for ten days or until it hast passed
out of the sweat.
Cowpeas are hard to cure, but
once they are made into hay they
are as good or better than alfalfa.
They will pay for the extra
Of cutting and houseing.
If no barn is available they may
be put into a rick and covered
with crabgrass or oat straw.
They do not shed water well I'M
less a cap is put on the rick.
