Cow peas can be grown in the row in the same way or an early maturing variety can be planted near the corn row just be- fore laying it by A row of velvet beans can be alternated with one or two rows of corn and a lot of hog and cattle feed can be had in the field after the corn is cribbed and the land will be benefited.

The depth will vary with the soil. On the quality of soil under discussion five or six inches will likely be a good depth. If deeper plowing means turning up of clay or sandy soil that has less vegetable matter than is found in the surface soil. certainly five or six inches is enough On the other hand if the soil al greater depth than six inches is about the same nature as that at the surface deeper blowing may be advisable
 Good seed Of the right variety is a consideration that should occupy us now. If seed is to be used from the home crop. some should be she'll ed from several ears and all this mixed. Then 25 or 50 grains should be placed between flannel cloths or plotting papers and this placed between two plates to germinate. If all or nearly all of the grains germinate, the seed is good, especial ly ii only a grain or two is taken from an ear While if ten per cent or more fail to germinate. the seed is not good and should not be used unless each ear that is used is tested by germinating five grains taken from different parts Of il. and only ears with good germination are used

 smsllFarm Owners May Secure Aid
 From Farm Loan Board
 The Federal Farm Loan Board has issued the following rules for the ruidance of the land banks in de- termining what area constitutes farm for ioaning purposes:
 First. Generally farm must he of sufficient area to yield at the hands of an ordinary capable farmer putting it to the use to which 1t IS generally adapted and using average methods. an income sufficient to maintain the family of the applicant and discharge the interest and amor tization payments.
 "Second. Specially Where through intensive farming or the practice or a speciality sufficient income has been regularly derived from tract deficient in area for ordinary farming or where the application of the pros pectiye borrower shows that he Is by experience capable of producing such an income from such a tract. such area may be accepted as sufficient, nrovided the land has stable and permanent market value sufficient to warrant the loan applied for. This ruling does not apply to fruit and orchard lands which have already been the subject of definite rulings by this board"
 Under the first paragraph of this ruling loans may be made to the ordinary farmer on the basis of average skill and efficiency. and no tract of land will be accepted as farm eligible for loan under the federal farm loan act unless 1t is large enough to support the family and take care of the loan under the average farm conditions of the neigh borho0d
 But under the second paragraph of the ruling the intensive farmer or the man who practices a profitable speciality. or who shows himself able to do so. will be given financial sup port by the Federal Farm Loan Sys- tenn. even though his farm may be too small for ordinary farming pur- poses, provided that the land quite auart from it's use has stable and permanent land value which will make the loan safe whether 1t is well operated. or badly operated. or not operated at all.
