position to cottonseed meal and peanut
meal to dairy cows, velvet beans mace
very excellent showing and must be
regarded as one of the desirable foods
for our farmers to utilize in the not
distant future.
In this connection it is proper to
state that velvet beans without the
hulls contain 21.S per cent of protein,
90 per cent of fat and 81 per cent of
carbohydrates. A ton of them contains
about 1913 pounds of nitrogen, 20
pounds of phosphoric acid and "a pounds
of potash. When the hulls are ground
in with the beans, the protein falls to
1875 per cent, the fat to ASS per cent,
and the carbohydrates are increased to
$40 per cent. The content of nitrogen
per ton is reduced to 56.S pounds, the
phosphoric acid to 16 pounds, and the
potash increased to 34.4 pounds. 1t viii
thus be seen that this crop contains a
good amount of protein, the expensive
and difficult element to obtain on most
farms. Whether ground with or with
out the hulls a ton of this material con-
tains a very considerable amount of
available plant food, the greater part
of which can be recovered IL the drop
pings of animals to which the beans are
fed are properly conserved and returned
to the soil. In an extreme case, VeiVet
beans without the hulls If mixed with
acid phosphate will produce fairly sat
isfactory fertilizer. 1t would be neces-
sary to use 1t in somewhat larger
amount than velvet beans and cotton
seed meal because the beans contain
much less nitrogen than good grade
Of cottonseed meal
These are a few of the most impor-
tant ways in which velvet beans may
be utilized by the farmers of the south
east for the purpose of improving and
developing our agriculture to the point
where we will not only become selt-sus-
tanning but have a surplus of food ana
animal products which may properly De
sent to other parts of the United states
or exported for the maintenance of pop
ulations living in less favored sections

HAS HER INNINGS
There is no excuse today for
women to have ugly,
painful cornS

For a few cents you can get from any
drug store a quarter ounce of the magic
drug freezone recently discovered by a
Cincinnati chemist.
Apply a few drops of this freezone
upon a tender, aching corn or callus and
instantly. yes, Immediately, all soreness
disappears and shortly you will find the
corn or callus so loose that you lift il
out. root and all. with the fingers.
Just think Not one bit of pain be-
fore applying freezone OF afterwards. 1t
doesn't even irritate the surrounding
skin.
Hard corns. soft corns or cOrns be-
tween the toes. also hardened calluses on

and fall of without hurting a particle.
II is almost magical. You just try il!
