COWPEAS CHOICE
FEED FOR STOCK
Crop Is of Great Importance for
Selling, Hay, SiIage and
PaSturage.
USEFUL TO INCREASE HUMUS
Farmers Bulletin Points Out Different
Methods of Growing and Harvest
ing II for Each of Its Vari-
GUS Uses.

prepared BY the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.J
Few crops can be utilized in as
great n variety of ways as cowpeas.
Tor centuries they have been grown
for human food in Asia, Africa and in
the Mediterranean region Of Europe.
I1 This country, particularly ia the
southern states, the crop IS common
ly used for this purpose. but its most
important use by far is in the feeding
Of live stock, being utilized for soiling,
lay. silage and pasture II is also Of
great value as green-manure crop to
increase the humus and nitrogen con
tent III the soil upon which it is grown.
These are points brought out in Farm
Prs Bulletin 1853, "Cowpeas: Utiliza-
ton. recently published by the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture,
which discusses not only the utiliza-
ton II the crop, but the methods of
growing and harvesting it for each Of
IT, various uses.
Have High Food Value.
Cowpeas are not grown for seed
more generally because Of the uncer-
t3inty OF the crop, the expense of har-
vesting and the comparatively low
yield obtained. In localities well suit
ed to production it viii be found
highly profitable to grow cowpea seed
on 81 large scale, especially if the best
machinery for handling the crop is
used. The seed has q high feeding
value. but is rarely cheap enough TO
be used as feed. 1t can be stored for
a considerable length of time without
much danger Of loss Of vitality. AS it
i> subject TO attacks from insects, es-
pecially the cowpea weevil, the seed
produced in southern states should be
placed ia cold storage, the bulletin
recommends.
Cowpea hay is an excellent forage
for all kinds of stock. Even the straw
obtained from threshing the peas for
seed is a valuable stock feed As a
Fule coWpeas should not be cut for hay
before the pods begin to turn yellow
The best quality is produced and the
hay cures most readily if the vines
are cut when most of the pods are full
grown and u considerable part of them
matHred. If cut before this stage the
vines are watery and difficult to cure.
While If left too late before cutting
there viii be an unnecessary loss of
leaves in handling and the stems will
Doe tough and woody. The hay is
somewhat difficult to cure, but with

glance on Dan, who was swaying with
Impotence waiting for her answer.
THE sky is so beautiful and blue to-
day." she said. Il cannot think about
anything else; perhaps tomorrow
will give you my answer"
So poor Dan had TO be content and
wait until the morrow, but when the
sun rose the next morning and Dan
asked Miss Daisy for her answer she
replied that the sun was so bright and
warm she could think of nothing else.
But" she said. perhaps tomorrow
/ shall be able to think about your pro
posal and give you your answer"
So DandeliOn sat all day with his
face bright and happy because he felt
sure the morrow would certainly bring
rain and then Miss Daisy would have
time to think about him.

HOW DO YOU SAY 1T?
BY c. N. LURE
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
"ELDER" AND "oLDER."

THE former word, elder" should
L be used when one refers to mem
bers of the same family; thus. My
elder brother left for Europe today"
not, MY older brother" But colder"
should be used in referring to mem
bers of another family, and in refer
ring TO objects. Thus, say, He is
the older OF the two brothers." and
This table is older than that chair"
not ''elder." The same rule is applied
to the words eldest" and oldest"
One should say. if he has more than
one brother, MY eldest brother left
for Europe today" not My oldest
brother" This chair is the oldest of
the three" not the oldest"
When direct comparison is made
between two persons, use Older" as
In the sentence, My mother is older
than my father" But when the COM
parison is not made directly, use this
form: MY mother is the elder of my
parents"

have meals with the family. but some
times it is customary for them TO
eat after the family and this is some
times a matter of convenience. as
some member will be free TO take
the nurses place at the patients bed
side while she is eating. On ocean
liners nurses in uniform do not eat
at the first table, but have their
meals in the general dining room at
the hours appointed for children and
their nurses. OF course, some young
women resent this, feeling themselves
quite the social equals, possibly the
superiors, of those who employ them,
but if they have good sense, they
realize that they are suffering no real
indignity and that it is the truly
professional spirit to accept condi-
tions as they find them.

MONOGRAMS.

THE origin Of monograms is prob
ably Egyptian; we are certain
that the Greeks and Romans used
these devices. The merchants of the
Middle Ages used cabalistic intertwin-
ings of letters as their distinctive
marks, and the great Charlemagne
used a cipher as his signature TO con-
ceal his ignorance of writing. The old
time painters and printers also had
their private marks made Of their ini-
tials. 1t was not until the Nineteenth
century, hc~xver. that monograms be-
came popular.

Striped green beetles which infest

 M. & N. "A. TRADE

For the purpose of inducing trade from Missouri and North Arkansas railroad points to Conway, in the event that road permanently sus- bends traffic on July 31, party of Conway citizens left today for a vis- it to Heber Springs. The party con sisted of Tom Davis, E. H. Ward Guy R. Farris and William Van Val kenburg, appointed by Pres. P. F. Cleaver as representatives of the Con- way Commercial Club.
 The delegation will endeavor to show the business men of Heber Springs that if their railroad sus- bends operation, Conway will be the best railroad point. While Searcy is slightly nearer to Heber Springs, it is said the road to Conway is better, and freight rates, wholesale prices and other advantages favor Conway.
 Mr. Ward is going over the route for the purpose of looking into the establishment of truck line between Conway and Heber Springs. He plans to put fleet of trucks in operation between the two towns when the Mis- souri and North Arkansas quits run ming it's trains. Postmaster G. E. Owen, it is understood, will endeav- or to secure the establishment of star mail route between Conway and Heber Springs, or rather the exten sion of the present route from Quit man to Heber Springs, so that all the mail for the latter point would be routed through Conway. Mail for a number of points on the Missouri and North Arkansas was sent by of Conway when the operation of the road was temporarily suspended sev- eral weeks ago.
