very small number of seeds, If any.
Both in spring and in fall the leaves
are injured by the least touch of frost,
and heavy frost is always fatal. The
cowpea withstands moderate shade
sufficiently well to be valuable yin
orchards. In heavy shade the plants
are usually much attacked by mildew.
The cowpea succeeds on practically
all types of soil. 1t does apparently
quite as we'll on sandy soils as on
heavy clays, but will do better than
clover or alfalfa on thin soils or soils
that are poor in lime. No other
legume can be grown SO successfully
and on such a variety of soils under
adverse conditions as the cowpea. A
very rich soil is not conducive to the
best results with this crop. On such
soil an abundant vine growth is
produced, while the yield of grain is
small. Poor soils will produce little
growth of vine. but will generally
yield a good proportion Of seed. Clay
soils will not produce heavy yield
the first year, but the crop will sue
coed much better the second season.
1t may be said that the cowpea will
do best on good corn land, but will
thrive on all types Of soil that are
well drained, properly inoculated, and
moderately rich.

TYPES OF BABY BEEF COWS
Three Important Factors Should Be
Kept in Mind in Making SeIec-
ton of Breeders.

In selecting cows from which baby
beef is to be produced, three very i'm
pOrtant factors should be kept in
mind:
l. The cows should have at least
fair amount of beef blood. Pure
breds are not necessary, but two or
three crosses of such breeding is es-
sential. Cows with a preponderance
of dairy blood will not do for the pro-
duction of baby beef.
2. Cows best suited for this type Of
breeding usually weigh 900 pounds or
over in thrifty breeding condition. So
long as early maturity is not sacri-
feed, the heavier cows are the most
suitable for baby-beef production.
Size Of frame rather than weight
should govern in selecting cows which
are to be used for this purpose.
3. The cows used to produce baby
beeves should produce enough milk
10 keep the calves fat and growing
without much additional feed up to
weaving time.
In addition to these three factors,
such things as constitution, uniform
'ty of breeding, color, size and early
maturity should be considered.

age than was obtained in this instance.
In such system as the one under
trial there is not much choice of crops
TO be used in different months. 1t is
chiefly necessary to make sure of hav-
ing one crop ready when the preced-
ing one is finished All the crops
used in 1919, the third year of the
Experiment.. stimulated good flow Of
growth in the lambs, and, after wean-
ing. put the ewes in good condition
for fall breeding.
The ewes and lambs were all pure
bred Southdowns. Some of the ewes
raising lambs received half-pound Of
grain each daily until May 10, and %
head of ewes In fall-breeding expert
ment received light feed of grain dur
ing September and October. All the
lambs were kept for breeding purposes
and We're fed some grain throughout
the summer. In calculating how far
the feed actually produced would 60

sheep until July 1. and after that

Under the conditions of this expert
.nent 1all-sown wheat and spring seed
..gs of oats and peas sown together
at the rate of IN bushels per acre
have been most satisfactory for graz
ing in spring and early summer. Soy
beans are ready for grazing about the
middle of July and furnish most Of
the feed until October. In November
fall-sown wheat and rye have been
used most, though late seedlings OF
corn and velvet beans were used in
1919 for the first time on ~ acres
that had received an extra top dress

The number of days of grazing from

MORE AMERICAN FLAX

chimes Investigated.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
The upside-dOwn condition of things
in Russia has produced many un-
looked-for results, but none more IN
expected to the casual mind than its
effect upon the supply of fax fiber.
Before the World war Russia pro-
duced about so per cent of the fax
fiber used In making linens. This sup
ply was cut off, while the demand for
linens continues as strong as ever.
in the United States the normal
consumption Of fax fiber by the spin
ming mills, before the war. was about
10000 tons a year, most of which was
imported. To produce this amount Of
fiber about 10000 acres is required.
To help in meeting the situation the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, through the Office of fiber inves-
legations, is encouraging the produc-
ton Of fax fiber by experimenting

is produced from seed of selected
strains than from imported seed, such
as has been used in the past. Efforts
are being made, too, to increase the
seed of these selections for distribu-
ton generally.
A special survey is being made this
season to determine the extent of dis
ease injury to which fax is subject,
and to procure definite information
needful in devising methods for COM
batting such diseases.
About 5000 acres of fiber fax was
grown In the United States in 1920,
but the relatively low price for fiber
has resulted in greatly reduced acre
age In 1921, estimated at 5000 acres.

Stack the straw; don't blow it out in

sides Keep middle we'll flied and
tramp well. Clean up around the base
OF the stacks and scatter remnants.
If 1t is certain that the straw will not
be used for feed, spread it at once to

LIME SPREADER is FAVORED
Machine Is More Efficacious in Secur-
ing Even Distribution of Mate
rial on Soil.

Lime should always be applied to
the surface of the soil and narrowed
in. This may be done in the fall, win
ter or spring, although many recon-
mend that 1t be applied in the fall.
When it is put on the land, however,
Is not so important as how it is done
1t should never be plowed under be-
cause it is carried downward in the
soil very rapidly, much Of it is wasted
and it is, therefore, less effective in
neutralizing the acidity. Even dis
tribution is, of course. desirable and
for this reason a lime spreader should
be used instead of attempting to dis
tribute 1t by hand.

SEALING OF SILO IMPORTANT
Satisfactory Plan 10 to Husk Ears
From Last Few Leads, Tramp
and Moisten Well.

Proper sealing of the silo is essen
tial in reducing the amount of waste
silage. An easy and satisfactory meth
cd is to husk the ears from the last
three or four loads Of corn that are
to 90 into the silo, and run only the
stalks and leaves through the cutter.
When these last loads are tramped
and soaked with 20 to 30 barrels of
water, the top will be well sealed and
there will be only thin layer of
waste. Moreover, there will be no ear
corn in this waste, because it was
husked out and made available for
other purposes.

SELECT BEST SEED POTATOES
Worth While to Secure Biggest and

In these days much thought is
given to the selection of corn for next
years crop. And great Improvement
has been made In corn the past
twenty years just because Of this
close selection. But the potato has
been overlooked TO large extent. A
selection of the biggest and finest

ging. Just the same as seed corn is
selected at corn harvest, is worth

COAL OPERATORS
PAID DEPUTIES

Washington, Sept. 22.-The sys-
tenn by which coal operators in West
Virginia pay the salaries of deputy
sheriffs was said to be the principal
complaint of the miners and the
principal cause of disorder, Attorney
England made public on the return
today of the committee investigating
the coal mine situation.
Called in to give the committee his
views the attorney said that while
the law specifically prohibits such
action it provides no penalty and thus
the law is ignored.
The opinion was expressed that
the miners sought to intimidate the
authorities and thus to cause the
calling of a special session of legisla-
ture to amend the statute law against
which they complained.
