a very small number Of seeds. if any.
Both in spring and in fall the leaves
are injured by the least touch of frost,
and a heavy frost is always fatal. The
cowpea withstands moderate shade
sufficiently we'll to be valuable YIN
orchards. In heavy shade the plants
are usually much attacked by mildew.
The eowpea succeeds on practically
all types of soil. 1t does apparently
quite as well 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 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
a 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 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.

SELECTING SEED
CORN in FIELDS
Farmer Has Splendid 0pportun-
ity to Start Increasing Next
Years Yield.
CURE and STORE EARS WELL

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
1t costs as much to plant and cul-
tivate an acre producing 20 bushels
If corn as one producing 40 bushels.
So, with present labor costs, If farm
er could reduce his acreage one-half
and still get the same corn yield he
would consider it good business.
Such program is probably too
much to expect but the United States
Department of Agriculture points out
that the American farmer is getting
altogether too little yield from his
corn land. just about this time of
year good many farmers are real
izing it.
Prepare for Next Years Crop.
Now, or little later, American
farmers have an opportunity to start
increasing next years corn crop by
the selection of seed. Every spring
there is frantic search for good seed
corn, and much inferior seed is
planted, with resulting inferior yields
The loss is largely due to delay or
negligence. Autumn is the time to
prepare for profitable corn crop the
following season.
Any intelligent farmer can go into
his corn field when the corn is mature
and select better seed than he can
buy next spring. Unless community
has an experienced and honest corn
breeder, the best place for the farmer
to obtain seed corn is from the fields
on his farm or in his neighborhood,
which are planted with a variety that
has generally proved successful in that
particular locality. Too many people
consider seed good simply because it
will grow. To be first class, seed corn
must be:
1. Well adapted to the climatic and
soil conditions where it is to be
planted.
2 Of high-yielding variety and
from high-yielding stalks of that va
riety.
3. Well matured and preserved from
ripening time until planting time in a
manner that will retain it's, full vital
ity.
4. Free from disease and insect in
jury Such freedom may indicate re-
sistance to infection.
AS soon as the crop natures, go
through the field with a picking bag
and select ears from the stalks that
have produced the most good corn
without having had any special adj
vantages such as excess of space,
moisture. or fertility. Avoid the large

added: "And am so worried about
her. 1 haven't had a letter from her
