writes F. A. Swami, agent in AEoyelles
parish. early in the spring this farm
er made arrangements to try out a
few acres in velvet beans. He planted
the seed early and the crop made a
Iuxuriant growth One day in Aug
ast his wife decided to take look at
the crops in the field and in her tour
of inspection she found the patchc of
velvet beans. She Immediately con-

beans had been planted was entirely
ruined, and didn't hesitate to place
the blame where she thought it prop
erly belonged. The farmer did all he
could to explain that the beans would
pay in the end, but without avail.
Nothing more was said about the
beans until later in the fall when the
wife began to notice that the cows
were giving more milk, and that hogs
and horses were beginning to fatten

for this, and the farmer answered.
