superior to millet but maturing less

mixture Of soybeans, cowpeas, mil

they get better quality Of hay in this
way and that the yield is more certain.
I'm planting cowpeas after wheat,
1t is not necessary to ploy the ground
thorough disking to furnish enough
dirt to cover the seed Is sufficient
the most practical way of planting
cowpeas after wheat in order to do
the work promptly is to follow the
binder with a disk harrow and the
disk with drill. This is easier than
trying to disk around the shocks after
the wheat is cut.

Sprayed Gaden Crops VIII Not Poison
Users.

Garden truck which has been spray
ey can be used without danger from
poisoning in spite of the fact that
many people believe such practice
to be dangerous, according to H. H.
levitt, of the College Of Agriculture.
Garden foods such as cabbage, let
tuce, spinach, gooseberries and cur
rants when sprayed with arsenicals
are looked upon with doubt by many
housewives" said Mr.. Jewett. Expert
ments has shown that there is abso-
lutely no danger in using such vege-
tables TO rfoods. In these experiments
cabbage was sprayed with lead arsen-
ate at the ordinary strength and then
treated to remove all the arsenis
which was accurately weighed From
the results it was found that the av-
erage person would have to consume
2S heads Of sprayed cabbage at one
meal to cause even the first symptoms
Of sickness from arsenical poison.
although the experiment proves
that sprayed garden crops are not dan
gerous some caer should be eXersiced
in their use. Such sprayed crops as
cabbage or lettuce should be we'll
washed before going to the table. The
same applies to gooseberries and cur
rants"
