include Clay, Unknown, or Wonder
full, Red Ripper. and Black.
Suitable for Food.
Among the sorts most suitable for
food are the varieties of Blackeye,
Cream, Galivapt, COnch, and some of
the CrOwder varieties.
Ordinary varieties of cowpeas are
severely attacked by eelworms or
nematodes, which infest most of the
lighter soils in the South and cause
root knot of many crop plants and
weeds. To plant such varieties on
land infested with the nematode Is a
dangerous practice, since they will
poor yields, and will permit the nema-
tOdes to reproduce to such an extent
that the next crop may be more Sc
verely damaged than the first. Ger
tain varieties. however, the Iron,
Brabham, and Monetta-are highly
resistant to root knot. Therefore,
whenever the planting Of cowpeas on
fields that are or may be infested by
the cause Of root knot Is contemplate
ed, special care should he taken to
plant only the Iron, Brabham, or Mo
META varieties.
Re Sure Of Seed.
To be certain Of having seed Of
these, the supply of which is limited,
farmers should take steps to procure
them at once. 1t is Of paramount i'm
pOrtance that unmixed seed of these
varieties be secured. If Iron. Brab-
ham, or MCnetta seed mixed with

Taylor. WhippoorwiIl, or Early Buff.
