 PLANT COWPEAS cowpeas Will Be Ready For Hog Grax ing in Seventy To Ninety Days. L. W. Osborn, Agrononist, Univer-
 sity of Arkansas. Don't fail to plant coWpeas, sor- ghum and peanuts. If these legumes are planted by June 25 in North Ark ansas and before July 16 in South Arkansas they will still make profita- ble crops and since the state is and will be in sore need of feeds of all kinds every farmer who has not put ln one or all of these crops should get busy right away. Cowpeas will be ready for hog grazing h 76 to 90 days, but ii they are to be used for hay they should be cut before frost.

Sorghum should be planted regardless of the price since no crop can be depended upon to produce a greater tonnage of coarse forage on good land.
 Peanuts should be planted since they will afford more pork producing feed to the acre than any other crop and they can be cultivated with the same implements used in cultivating cotton. The peanut Is one of the most dependable feed crops which can still be planted in the state with the as- surance Of good return" says L. W. Osborn, agrononist with the Univer- sity of Arkansas. Tt is also one of the best forage crops We have for hogs. Hogs turned in on peanuts make rapid gains"
 Peanut Adapted To Wide Range

 Peanuts are especially adapted to sandy loam and loamy soils, but for hog grazing may be grown on heavier soils provided they contain an abund- ance of organic matter and do not crust easily Peanuts stand the dTouth better than corn and fully as well as soy beans and cowpeas.

COUNTS

The yield OF the vegetable garden
will vary from almost nothing to sur
prising results. This depends almost
entirely upon the cultivating of the
plants. The cultivation should be and
follow the rains or watering. Care
must be taken not to work the ground
while too wet. If in doubt, squeeze
a handful Of it; if it breaks up read
lily in your fingers on being released,
it is ready to work. Hoeing while
ground is too wet causes Jumps which
necessitate additional labor. Cultiva-
ton should continue until the plants
are large enough to shade the ground.
Care must be taken not to disturb the
young plants or the roots OF the larg-
er ones. Much hard labor is saved
if the hoe is kept sharp.

Do not allow the soil to crust over
onion seed. Bread it with a rake,
even though some plants are de-
stroyed. They will smother if a crust
is left.
Have the young folks Of the family
a garden to care for? This is a good

one. Vegetables will be in greater
demand than ever and should be more
used than ever to release for ship

easily be sent. Be patriotic and grow
a good garden this year.
A fine use for tobacco these days
is to apply it in some liquid form to
aphis or plant lice working on plants
in the yard and garden.
Beans may be used as a succession

Many headlight devices have been

the simplest suggestion for comply

bulb make a circle Of green paint one
half the diameter of the bulb. The
paint should cover the right Of the
bulbs, looking with the car, for an arc

Painting the right side of the bulbs
Is prescribed because the New York
law limits the amount Of light that

The reason for this Is the fact (Which

"%SPURRED" TO DO "BIT"

approximately 500 was raised for
the Red Cross fund by the South Da-
kota Harness Dealers Association in
annual session at Huron, S. d. A very
clever and unique method was used.
A beautiful silver set of bit and spurs
was donated to the convention to be
ratified off at their annual banquet.
This was done and $25 was realized
from the rattle. The winner immedi-
ately announced that he would auction
the set off at the following morning
session. This was done and the set
was finally knocked down at $3.50.
The next highest bidder of $3.50 gave
his check for that amount, and the
third highest bidder also gave his
check for 800, the amount of his bid.
Then about twenty-five delegates stood
on a donation of $40 each, making a
grand total of approximately 500 for
Red Cross work, secured from the sale
of the one set of bit and spurs.
This does not end the unique little
plan for the winner at the auction an
nounced he would take the set to the
National Harness Dealers convention
to be held in Des Moines, Iowa, next
month, and there he would auction
the set off again. No doubt, the set
will hrino around S500 at his con-
vention.

SEED CORN D

May 16, the new seed corn order
of the South Dakota Council of De-
tense, issued after investigation of
several complaints of e~xtortionate
prices, became effective. That it has
teeth is shown by the penalty for VIC
lation which provides a fine Of $1,000
or imprisonment in the county Jail
for a year or both, upon conviction.
The order declares hat all seed orn
must be sold under the following
terms and that any owner refusing
to sell where a necessity exists, the
Council will seize the corn and sell
it:
For seed corn showing a germina-
ton of So per cent to 100 per cent,
not to exceed $1,000 per bushel.
For seed corn showing a germina-
ton of 50 per cent, not to exceed IS.

Many automobile owners do not real
lie the Importance and necessity Of
giving their starting and lighting bat
teries proper attention in the winter.
The battery is a delicate piece of APP
paratus, and If mistreated, will very
quickly depreciate.
Two things are of prime Importance:
the battery should be kept fully
charged, and 1t should not be allowed
to freeze. A battery when standing
idle for any length Of time, gradually
loses its charge. Therefore If the car
Is not run regularly during the winter,
in order to keep the battery fully
charged the, engine should be run at
regular periods to charge, or else the
battery should be charged from an out
side sourc Of current. THIS should
be done every two or three weeks.
Charge Easily Read.
The state Of charge can be easily
read from a specific gravity hydrome-
ter syringe, which can be purchased
for about a dollar from an auto supply
dealer. A reading Of from 1850 to
1900 indicates full charge. The read
Ing Is indicated by the number on the

Is above zero, Fahrenheit. 1t is best,
however, to take the battery from the
car and into the house In extremely

IDENTITY OF WOMAN FLEEING WITH TWO
 CONNECTS NDOUBT

If Grace Landis is in company with Emmett McDaniels and J. C. Wunder, two escaped convicts from the Florence penitentiary, who are alleged to have Kidnapped Laura Freeman, 17-year- old daughter of d Florence rancher after making their getaway, there is another escape to be considered. The records in the office Of United States Marshal Dillon reveal that Grace Landis was arrested a short while ago, charged with the violation of federal statute and on February IS was committed to the Pima county jail as a United States prisoner. The name under which she was booked is Mildred Ol son. She is supposed to he held there, being unable to give bail. Marshal Dillon is inclined to believe that there has been a mistake in the Phoenix Womans identity.
 That the woman is Grace Landis is vouched for by merchant of Flor euce who visited Phoenix yesterday. He is certain of her identity. and states that her antics in connection with Wander while the latter has been at liberty as an honor man in Florence have been frequently discussed by the citizens of that city.
 There was much reason to believe yesterday, according to the Florence | business man. that Laura Foreman was a voluntary member Of the party that is supposed to have made their escape in Wunders automobile. It is said that the Foreman girl, who was recently divorced from her husband became fourth party to the joy fest, , partly under persuasion of the other woman, but that she became alarmed when she learned that the party was developing into a real escape.

CHICAGO. Dec. 26.--Testimony in- tended to combat contention that in creased wages had caused higher meat price was offered today at the arbitra- ton proceedings in connection with he demand for increased wages for Anployes Of packing companies at the Inion stock yards.
 The issue came up when James Con- don. attorney for the packers tried to make Dennis Lane, secretary of the h. ternational Meat Cutters and Butch CT Worl1men's union admit that in- creased costs to consumers were due to added wages paid since the last award. Lane said the increases may have had some effect, but pointed out that meat had increased from five to fifteen cents \ pound.
 Francis J Heney, attorney for the workers, then read figures from pack ing companies own representatives, showing the following wages per pound Of meat handled by the concern:
 Armour and Company 6i Of one per cent; Swift and Company 57 of a cent; Morris snd Company .S4 of cent. He then quoted company figures which in- dicated that the wage increase of last summer cost the companies .25 Of a cent for each pound of meat handled.
