aaubed on with a soft brush. A plas-
SIC dressing, impervious to air, is thus
formed, which does not adhere to the

process without appreciable contrac-
ton. Disagreement and scars are pre-
vented to n greater extent than was
possible under the old methods.

Rape Is Best Crop.

that throws them out Of consideration,
except the rape.
Rape Is Best Crop.
Rape Is the best crop that know
to SOW between the corn rows at the
last cultivation, says n writer In an
exchange. 1t is good producer, does
not stunt the corn to the extent that
the small grains do, and 1t is relished
by all kinds of stock. The rape can
be sown just before the last cultivn-
ton at the rate Of about 20 to 80
pounds of seed per acre. 1t can either
be drilled with small one-horse drill
or better yet it can be sown broadcast.
In the latter case about 80 pounds Of
seed will be necessary.
Hairy vetch is not at all adapted to
sowing between the corn rows In this
manner, as it requires later planting,
is winter cover crop and is generally
sown In September.
Soy beans or cOwpeas are all right
IL the seed does not cost more than
S1.00 or $1.25 an acre, but If the seed
costs much more than this the growth
obtained Will be entirely too small to
pay for the seed and the cost Of the
labor involved. If these crops are
sown, about one-half to one bushel of
seed Is required to the acre, If 1t is
sown broadcast. and about 30 to 40
pounds II sown in drills 80 to SO inches
apart.
Small Grain Not Suited.
Rye or other small grains are not
we'll adapted to sowing between the
corn rows because in all but excep-
tionally wet years 1t tends to reduce
the yield Of corn through robbing It
Of moisture.
If permanent pasture is desired
the following year, the intertilled crop
seed can be mixed half and half with
the following grass seed mixture and
the whole sOwed broadcast between
the rows: Blue grass, Is pounds, tim
othy 3 pounds, red clover pounds.
alsike clover 8 pounds. and red top
pounds. This mixture Will cost
about So or 81 per acre, but 1t will
give good permanent pasture that
Will last for years.

NEVER FREE FROM TROUBLE
Border Between United States and
Mexico Has Always Been Law
less Strip Of Country.

The border between the United
States and Mexico has been for long
time one Of the most troubled, roman
tic and lawlesS in the western hemi-
sphere. Not only do the Mexican revo-
lutionists periodically start something
by shooting or raidlng across the line,
but this border also affords one Of the
finest opportunities In the world for
smuggling. A large part of the opium
which is consumed by addicts in this
country comes by way Of the Mexican
border, and an Illicit business in arms
and ammunition goes the other way.
In the old days stealing horses in
Mexico, driving them across the river
and selling them in the United States
was thriving industry and 1t Is prob
ably still carried on to some extent. In
the old days it was known politely as
the 'wet horse trade" because the
horses were often sold when they were
still wet.
The border country is admirably en-
lowed by nature for these lawless do
ings. 1t is flat, near-desert country, too
dry for farming, but not too dry to sup
port heavy thickets of chaparral and
mesquite, which makes one Of the dens.
est and most impenetrable covers in the
world. That part Of the country which
lies within the big bend Of the Rio
Grande Is an especially dense jungle
OF this kind. 1t swarms with game.
The desert white tail deer, the peccary,
the wild turkey and the Mexican quail
are abundant. This supply Of wild
meat makes 1t easy for Mexican out
law who knows where the water holes
are to hide out for long periods.

In determining the best crop to sow
between the corn rows. the most i'm
portant consideration Is which crop
Will give the greatest quantity OF dry
matter per acre for the least consump-
ton of water. Some crops have a
tendency to rob the corn Of water to
such an extent that the corn is mate

in dry season.
The best crops to SOW from the wa
ter standpoint are: Rape. hairy vetch,
