Miss Annie Walker Dead

Through the kindness of a mu-
tai friend, the Recorder has re-
ceived a copy of the Page New;
and Courier announcing the death
Aug. 20, of Miss Annie Walker
we'll known to many Montereyans
Some Is or 20 years ago Miss Wal
.ker held a clerical position with
Bishop Bros, and during her stay
of a few years she formed friend
ships so warm and enduring as tc
cause real sorrow and regret at
this news of her death.
The News and Courier, in an
nouncing her death pays her the
following tribute, in all of which
her Monterey friends will heartily
concur:
Miss Annie Walker, of East Lu-
ray, died of Bright's disease at one
o'clock on Monday after having
been in declining health for several
years. For the past fve~weeks her
condition has been of a most cri-
teal character. Luray people are
greatly grieved at the loss of one
whose fine, strong, womanly char
acter they have respected and ad-
mired for many years. She was of
an active energetic temperament,
possessed of trained mind and ex,
pertness in clerical work, regular
and jealous in the church and good
works, and with never-failing in
terest in the best welfare of Luray
and it's people. The circle of her
friendships and good influence ex-
tended far.

Two Men Gone

Under orders from the govern
ment Highlands first contribution
of men went to the training camp
Wednesday. They were George
Hamilton Graham, of Mcdowell
section, and John David Kramer,
of Crabbottom.
The call was for five per cent. of
the county's quota, which would
have been 2 Is, but as Highland
has no men on the list who repre-
sent any fractional parts as to man
hood, the board ignored the decl-
mails and selected the first two on
the list, but young Graham express
ing a desire to 60 now, his name
was substituted for that of Kenneth
Price Wilson, who heads the col
umn. While they were instructed
to give preference in this first small
contingent to men of military train
ing or with a culinary turn, the
board found none available, so
began at the head of the list, the
first two accepted.
Sheriff Graham, member of the
local board, accompanied young
Kramer to Stauntun where they
were met by the other man, who
had been working in Covington.
The sheriff, by virtue of his posi-
ton as member of the local exemp-
ton board, was expected to defray
all expenses of the two embryo
soldiers and see them entrain for
Camp Lee.

C0WPEAS GAIN FAVOR
Becoming Valued Crop Through

Possesses Many Advantages Over
Clover Natures Quicker and
Combines Not Only Hay Crop,
But Grain "a Well.
(By l. r. JOHNSON.)

Wy - Hs OoAAAN00AN./
Farmers who have never tested the
cow or stock pea should by all means
try a crop of that legume this spring.
Originally grown only in the South, it
has spread northward and become a
valued crop throughout the central
states.
Belonging to the same family as red
clover, it is natural to compare the
qualities of the two, although in many
respects they r entirely unlike.
Clover requires two years for ma
turity, cowpeas only three months. A
stand Of the clover is by no means
certain and in some sections has be-
come SO %precarious that farmers are
casting around for some other fertiliz-
ing crop to replace it.
Again, clover harvest comes in June
when showers are naturally frequent
and when the farmer is busy with the
corn and with other work on the 9TH
er hand, peas are cut in August or
September when the rush of work is

SlL0 OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
D3tryman Who ls Without Succulent
Feed During Winter Is Up
Against Hard Proposition.
(By w. M. KELLY.)

(By w. NJ. KELLY
The man with q herd Of good dairy
cows has enough to do and enough to
think about at this time Of the year.
I know dairymen who do not feed
shippers or dry COWS n grain food
during the winter or early spring.
This may be a cheap way Of roughing
them through the winter, but such
methods have never returned q profit
on the writer's farm.
/ know that 1t seems q loss to feed
dry cows, but 1t is not so much a
question as to whether or not he can
afford to have them become rundown
in flesh condition and be unable to
give q good yield Of milk after they
freshen In the spring.
Two pounds of good. wholesome
grain food a day to each cow will help
wonderfully and In connection with
good ensilage and clover hay will main
tain her In very good condition.
We have found early cut clover hay

PESTS DAMAGE TRUCK CROPS
Spray Made Of Arsenic of Soda,
Water and Black MoIasses Proved
E~fficacious in Wisconsin.

Kill the adult fly that lays the eggs
and do away with the possibility Of
having maggots damage your onion and
cabbage crops.
To control these pests use this spray
which was tried last summer with sue
cess In many cabbage and onion fields
Dissolve five grams (one-sixth of an
ounce) OF arsenite Of soda in one gal
lon of hot water, add one-half pint of
black molasses and stir thoroughly.
Apply to the plants in coarse drops,
using a sprinkler or whisk broom. In
fair weather, n application a week
is sufficient, but, in rainy weather
twice weekly is better.
Begin to use the mixtures when the
plants first appear above ground, and
In the case of cabbage, continue regu-
larly for a month or so after the
plants have been set out in the field.

Ben Davis raised in 1915 than any

Winesaps third. About o~ne-seventh Of

w and when there is generally a dry
spell. Finally, cowpeas combine in
themselves not only q hay crop but a
grain crop as we'll.
All these important advantages has
the pea owe the clover; and against
them / can only think Of the points
that the pea-vines require a longer
time to cure, depending on the rank
ness Of the vines, and are q little
harder to handle with the fork than
clover.
On my fruit farm peas have entire
~ displaced clover because their sea
son is SO much shorter. With the in
tensive system of fruit-growing 1 can
not afford to give the land to clover
for its long season Of growth. At the
am time-and l should have men
toned this in making the comparison
I believe that a heavy crop of clover is
superior as q fertilizer to q crop Of
peas.
Before cowpeas were introduced
there vas no fertilizing crop with
which to follow early potatoes and
strawberries. In southern Missouri, on
a low sandy soil, they will mature II
sown after the wheat is cut and can
be turned in time for the sowing of the
fall wheat.
Further north in the latitude Of st.
Louis, they cannot be depended on to
do this but they will make growth
enough to be Of great value to turn
under.
They should not be sown until the
ground is thoroughly warm and no
more cold weather is to be feared, and
not later than the first of July.
The Whippoorwill variety is the
most generally planted when the seed
Is wanted, and the Clay for vine. I
have noticed that late-sown peas al
ways make the best and the most seed,
for the reason that they do not make
so much vine.
Simply as a money crop and with
out reference to their fertilizing value,
cowpeas rank among the most profit
able OF crops and it is rather surpris-
ing that farmers are not more alive to
this point. Regular pea hullers have
been of very slow introduction in this
part of the country.
Peas IN still hulled in wheat
threshers and in consequence are bad
~ split and shattered.
They will yield ten and fifteen BUSH
els to the acre In favorable conditions.
Hulling, instead Of damaging their
value, actually seems to increase 1t,
for it breaks up the coarse stems and
shreds them into a soft mass that is
eaten up clean by the stock.
Unhulled pea hay makes a forage
that is unsurpassed and calls for lit
tie or no grain to supplement 1t when
the teams are idle.
It is q fine ration for the milk COW
and in fact is relished by all kinds
of stock though sometimes a few days
are required for them to get accus-
toned to 1t.

cattle. We have often changed from
clover to timothy hay and invariably
the yield Of milk would fall OF.
Well-cured clover hay comes nearer
to being q balanced ration than any
other crop we grow on our farms. II
the cow could hold enough clover hay
we would not need to feed anything
else, but she likes q variety, and does
decidedly better when fed ensilage
with her clover hay. Corn ensilage
adds palatibility and succulence to the
ration and makes 1t easier to masti-
cate and digest than dry fodder.
The silo is also q great saver Of
labor and barn room, and four tons Of
corn ensilage can be stored in the
space occupied by one ton of hay.
The dairyman who is without a silO
to provide succulence during the long
winter months is certainly up against
a hard proposition.
