prove the soil?"
No plant, even peas, will improve
the soil unless used for the purpose,
either by turning under or feeding
and returning the manure to the land
that grew the crop. Buckwheat will
grow on any good soil, stiff or light.
and if turned under it VII. like any
other organic matter, add some hu-

Making Cowpeas Ernit Well

What kind of fertilizer and how
much should 1 use to make peas
fruit better?"
AS rule cowpeas are not heavy
producers of seed, though some verie-
ties are better than others. The best
thing for peas is 800 pounds an acre
of acid phosphate. They will do their
best with this application.

Growing Tomatoes for Canning

Can l make a crop OF tomatoes af-
ter wheat is cut from the land? Will
the Stone be the best variety? I

If you have good plants ready to
set after wheat harvest there will be
no difficulty in making the late crop
OF tomatoes. Our large growers here
seldom set their plants earlier, as the
canning factories do not open till Au-
gust, you could SOW the seed now
