Plant For Seed An Acre Of
Cowpeas.

For each mule you work, and for for
age two acres for each mule. Plant as
much more as you can In the corn,
Pasture after the corn is gathered, then
turn under stalks and vines to make big
crops next year.
Plant cowpeas for seed in corn at the
last cultivation. Pick the seed. Cut
and shock the corn, using the fodder
and pea vines in the place of hay. Every
tenant and every land owner needs q
supply of cowpea seed of his own rails
ing so that he can sow large acreage
every year without having to think
about the cost Of seed. The yield Of
seed varies from 5 to 80 bushels an acre,
with an average of Z to IL bushels.
Plant cowpeas on every acre from
which you harvest small grain, and
where the stand of cotton and corn is
poor. The largest part of the profit in
raising small grain comes from follow
ing with cowpeas. Cut as much Of the
cowpeas as you need for hay and turn
the rest under. The whole crop turned
under enriches the soil three times as
much as the roots alone.
A good crop of cowpeas contains on
an scre nitrogen worth $500 to $40 90;
potash, Sc LOO, and phosphoric acid, 81 90
The roots go down over three feet and
make the land mellow cheaper than can
be done with plow and harrow. At the
Alabama Experiment Station cowpeas
turned under made an increase the first
year of 696 pounds seed cotton an acre.
Their effect is increasing the yield US
uslly shows three to four years.
At the Tennessee Experiment Station
two pounds of cowwpea hay were equal
to one pound cottonseed meal for beef
production; three pounds cowpea hay
were equal to ore pound cottOnseed meal
for producing milk.

Fair Directors Met Saturday.

The directors of the fair association
met in the chancery court room last
Saturday and heard the reports of the
committees appointed at a previous
meeting. The committee on awards
and premiums had their report ready
and when it was submitted 1t was
adopted with few changes which the
directors thought for the best of the
the fair and the people.
The soliciting committees reported
further that they had raised an addi-
tional sum, raising the total to about
$3.50. 1t is desired by the directors
to increase these subscriptions to $500,
as 1t has fsen discovered that this sum
will be needed to defray necessary ex-
penses and pay the premiums offered.
There are seven districts in the county
that have not been heard from on this
fund. They are second, third, sixth,
seventh, ninth, tenth and fourteenth.
Committees were appointed in these
districts and blanks sent them just as
in the others and 1t has been a matter
OF regret to the directors that the COM
mittees have not made their reports.
There are unquestionably citizens in
these districts who expect TO take part
in the fair-hst year some Of the most
coveted prizes awarded by the fair
went to these districts.
Saturdays meeting was in many re-
spects the most successful and enthusl-
astic meeting yet held. Besides the
directors and committees there were
present at the meeting half a hundred
citizens from several districts which
are taking an active interest in the
fair. Encouraging information was
brought by these directors and visitors
and there is every assurance that the
the fair is going to be bigger and
better than it was last year, a real
credit to Fayette county. And then in
the friendly competition that it will
bring there will be much good to the
county. Invitation is given to every
farmer and business man In the county
to join with those who are working on
the project and help them to make 1t
the success it deserves.
In the next few days work of print
ing the catalogs will begin, just as soon
as the matter can be arranged for the
printers and as soon as completed about
one half the supply will be mailed out
to citizens, the other half being held
until short time before the fair when
any citizen can secure one by calling
on the secretary or any Of the directors.
Requests are hereby made to business
men and stock raisers thruout the coun-
ty to send to the secretary advertise
ments for insertion In the catalog, SIS
for a full page, and s. for one half
page. Send money along to pay for
the advertisement.
If every progressive citizen will get
to boosting the fair and boost thruout
the season in proportion to the good
the county will derive from it the good
will be increased many times. Get the
boosting habit and be sure to boost the
fair,
