When to Sow
-. Kafir and Milo

Kafir and milo will not germinate
in cold soil. Delay seeding until
the ground warns up. seeding
should start about May Is and con-
tinue not later than June Is in the
Panhandle region of Texas and Ok
lahoma. At lower attitudes farther
east and south seeding may start
earlier. and continue later than the
dates mentioned.
Seeding must not be delayed too
late or early frost will catch the
crop before it can mature. Kafir
requires from 113 to 125 days and
milo from 80 to 10 days to mature,
depending on the season. These
crops should be sown in rows spaced
3 IL feet apart. The stand. should
be one plant to 10 or IL inches of
row space. Thinner stands than
this will be best in dry seasons.
Two or three pounds of good seed
is enough to SOW one acre. The
seed should be covered one inch deep
in moist SOIL while in dry soil deep
err covering is necessary.

European Corn Borer
Must Be Watched

Be on the lookout for the Euro
pean corn borer. It may appear al
most anywhere in the United States.
Up to this time it is known to exist
only in a limited area in Massachu-
sets and in an area of about 201
square miles in New York The
New York infestation was only re-
Gently discovered, and the pest may
have reached other places where it
has not yet been identified. Con-
sidering the fact that 1t may be dis
tributed not only in all parts of the
corn plant, but in many garden and
ornamental plants and in hay, the
possibility Of a wide distribution is
at once realized.
The European corn borer may be-
come the most destructive enemy of
Americas greatest crop. Unless it
can be controlled and held within
limited areas, it is certain to cause
millions of dollars Of loss to the
corn crop. The United States de-
partment of agriculture, in co-opera-
ton with the state governments of
New York and Massachusetts,, is do
ing everything possible to prevent
further distribution from the known
areas of infestation, but unless
there is general watchfulness 1t may
spread from some unknown point of
infestation over so great an area
that eradication or even control may
be out of the question

Peanuts for Profit

Scarcely day passes that in
ouiries are not received relative to
the peanut industry in the south. 1t
is strange, indeed, that the southern
farmers have so long overlooked the
real value of the peanut as a part
of their cropping system and that
the present high market prices of
peanuts were necessary to awaken
the farmers to their opportunity
Nothing has been found that will ex-
eel the true Spanish variety for gen.
eral cultivation on southern farms
Great difficulty exists, however, in
procuring pure seed. The only way
that the farmers of the south can
be sure of a high-producing Strain
of pure Spanish is by growing a
seed patch from specially selected
seed.
Thirty-six pounds of clean Spanish
peanuts in the shell. will plant an
acre, and, a one-acre seed patch, If
properly handled, will produce
enough seed to plant about 80 acres
the next year., With this fact before
them, it should be a comparatively
easy matter for the peanut growers
to get on the right basis, so far as
the seed supply is concerned. The
stock seed for planting the seed
acre should first be carefully select
ed in the pod, then shelled by hand,
and the shelled peas again carefully
gone over, and all that are off
color or inferior either in size or
shape should be discarded.
A few years of proper. selection
will give the farmer a strain of seed
J peanuts for his conditions that can
not be had from any other source.
By this method, together with prop
er cultural practices and crop rota-
ton, the yield per acre can be great
Iy increased. About the only meth
cd whereby the farmer can hope to
make profit is by cutting down
production costs through increased
yields per acre The future of the
peanut industry in the south is al
most without limitations, and the
farmers who get into the business
on the right basis are going to OBJ
tain the highest profits.

TIME TO PLANT SOY
BEANS AND COwPEAS

Although soy beans and cowpeas
may be sown during a period from
early spring until midsummer, the
time Of planting depends largely on
the latitude and the use to be made
of the crop. AS main grain or
hay crop the best time for planting
is about the same as for corn, or
when the ground has become thor
ough1y warm. The plants will then
start quickly and make a rapid
growth. The plants grow slowly in
cool weather, and ordinarily there is
no advantage in planting earlier
than corn. Experiments have shown
that the soy bean may be planted
earlier than the cowpea, being able
to withstand more cold in the early
spring For pasture, green manure,
soiling. or even for hay crop, both
the soy bean and cowpea may be
sown as late as August 1 in the
south and July in the north.

also an impression that where peo-
pie perform hard labor they should
eat great quantities of meat and
eggs. This is not necessarily true.
A modest diet is to be preferred by
all, no matter where they live. The
great mistake in the average h~me
is that people eat comparatively few
foods instead of some of the very
great variety which nature has made
it possible for us to use so advan-
tageously. We neglect in our home
dietaries the use of vegetables, par
ticularly of the leafy kinds that
supply iron and mineral salts and vi
tamines to the body. 1t is more trou-
BILE to grow and prepare vegetables
in an attractive manner than it, is
and fry the same. Hence our dis
position is to concentrate on the use
Of meat and eggs at the expense of
vegetables. The more varied the
diet the better the, health of the
familJ is likely to be. The use of
excessive amounts of fried foods or
very greasy foods is to be avoided.
Then we should learn to eat slowly.
1t is a characteristic Of our nation
that we eat as if our life depended
as possible. AS a result we probably
suffer more from indigestion and
use more patent medicines to correct
the ills from which we suffer than
any other people in the world.
If we will observe the following
rules of health there will be great
Improvement in the physical condi-.
ton of all who live in the open coun-

of drugs to cure the ills which fol-
low improper eating. Provide prop
er sanitary regulations in and about
the home, and avoid exposure to
conditions which are conducive to
disease. Above all, learn not to wor-
ry, and be cheerful. Then hard
work and play and rest in adequate
proportion will fulfill the part they
are expected to perform in keeping
the human being in the best physi-
cal condition.
