Asia and the adjacent islands as well
as tie Mediterranean region OF
Europe indicate that the cowpea is OF
ancient cultivation for human food. 1t
was early introduced in the Spanish
settlements In the West indies and was
grown in North Carolina in 1714,
probably coming from the West In
dies. Its culture in Virginia was re-
ported about 1875 and no doubt was
quite general In the United States
early in the Nineteenth century.
Without doubt. the cowpea is the
Phaseolus mentioned by the old Ro-
man writer's. In Italy the Blackeye
cowpea is still called by the same
name as the kidney bean, namely,
"fagiolo," which is the Italian equiva-
lent Of Phaseolus. In East Africa
both the wild and cultivated cowpeas
are called "kunde,' while In. India,
where the catjang is more extensively
cultivated the name Tuba, with
many others, Is used In America the
cowpea was first known as "calli-
vance" and later as Indian pea,'A
southern pea" southern field pea
and "cornfeld pea" The first pub
lished record Of the name cowpea was
in 1893 and applied apparently to
single variety.
The cowpea at present is the hest
known and most extensively grown
leguminOus crop in the Southern
states, but 1t can be grown prohtably
much farther north Although ii sue
ceeds under greater diversity Of
climatic. soil, and cultural conditions
than most other legumes, the best re.
suits are obtained in forage, soil im-
provement, and seed production by q
thorough understanding of the re-
quirements and the best varieties of
the crop.

HORSEPOWER ON GOOD ROADS
Figures Show How Hard Surfacing of
Highways Facilitates Transpor-
tation to Market.

The value of hard surfaced roads
in getting products to market or in
taking goods from the cities to the
farms is shown by these facts, accord
ing to the Oklahoman:
Suppose load weighing 6,27O
pounds must be taken to market. On
four different types of roads, the fol
lowing number of horses, it is estimat-
ed, would be required to pull the
load, using the same wagon in each
case:
On a loose sand or mud road, ten
horses.
On dirt road, five horses.
On a gravel road, two horses.
On a good macadam road, one horse.
To illustrate again: Suppose a
farmer uses one horse to pull his prod
ucts to market. On the various roads,
with the same wagon, the horse can
pull the following:
About 800 pounds on a muddy dirt
road
From 1000 to 1900 pounds on a
smooth dry dirt road.
About 3.00G pounds on a good gravel
road.
From 5000 to $500 pounds on
good macadam road.

trivial. For instance, man who cut
down a tree or impersonated a Green.
witch pensioner generally paid the life
penalty. Due to the exertionS of Sir

code gave way towards the end of
