Hubby Rules In Cafes.

"The wife may rule the household"
said a waiter at Park Row restau-
rant, "but the husband sure holds the
upper hand when they eat out. After
they have both looked over the menu
the husband decides what he wants
to eat, and Immediately after the wife
decides she wants the same thing. In
the case of sweethearts the girl is
more independent and usually orders
something different. In few in
stances the young men have weakened
and taken what their girls order But
all that changes after they are mar
rled.-New York Sun.

PLANT LEGUMES IN ORCHARD
Good Practice That Crops Be Kept
Growing Between Trees In Sum-
mer and Early Fall.

Good orcharding practice requires.
In many instances, that crops be kept
growing between the trees during late
summer or early fall. For one thing
the soil will need humus and protec-
tion from the burning rays of the sun.
It Is q good practice to plant cow
peas, soy beans, or other crops that
thrive In late summer and early au-
tumn to protect the soil and to add
fertility to It for the next season.
Most OF the legumes are well adapt
ed for summer crops In orchards. Cow
peas are In many instances better
than other summer legumes for this
purpose.
Usually, planting peas or soy beans
In rows between the trees and giving
them cultivation or two is better
than broadcast sowing. However.
some prefer to sow broadcast.

During the last summer and fall
about 100 different plants and com

COWPEAS CHOICE
FEED FOR STOCK
Crop Is Of Great Importance for
Soiling, Hay, Silage and
Pasturage.
USEFUL TO INCREASE HUMUS
Farmers Bulletin Points Out Different
Methods Of Growing and Harvest
Ing II for Each Of Its vari-
ous Uses.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Few crops can be utilized In as
great a variety Of ways as cowpeas.
For centuries they have been grown
for human food In Asia, Africa and In
the Mediterranean region of Europe.
In this country, particularly In 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,
hay, silage and pasture. II is also OF
great value as a green-manure crop to
increase the humus and nitrogen con-
tent of the soil upon which II is grown.
These are points brought out In Farm
ers' Bulletin 1853, "Cowpeas: Utiliza-
ton" recently published by the Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture,
which discusses not only the utiliza-
tion of the crop, but the methods Of
growing and harvesting II for each Of
Its various uses.
Have High Food Value.
Cowpeas are not grown for seed
more generally because OF the uncer-
tainty of the crop, the expense OF har-
vesting and the comparatively low
yield obtained. In localities well suit
ed to production 1t will be found
highly profitable to grow cowpea seed
on large scale, especially II the best
machinery for handling the crop is
used. The seed has a high feeding
value, but is rarely cheap enough to
be used as feed. Il can be stored for
a considerable length of time without
much danger of loss of vitality. As II
Is subject to attacks from insects, es-
pecially the cowpea weevil. the seed
produced In southern states should be
placed In cold storage, the bulletin
recommends.
Cowpea hay Is an excellent forage
for all kinds of stock. Even the straw
obtained from threshlng the peas for
seed is valuable stock feed. As a
rule 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 II the vines
are cut when most of the pods are full
grown and considerable part of them
matured. If cut before this stage the
vines are watery and difficult to cure
while II left too late before cutting
there will be an unnecessary loss OF
leaves in handling and the stems will
be tough and woody. The hay Is
somewhat difficult to cure. but witt

BEETLES ARE MOST HARMFUL
Covering Of cheeseclotk VIII Afford
Necessary Protection for
Vines and Plants.

The striped cucumber beetle and the
12-spotted cucumber beetle attack Gu
cumber, squash, and melon vines
through the East. The best protec-
ton is to cover young plants with
cheeseclotb- covered frames, which may
be made on barrel-hoop arches. When
the insects actually get access to the
leaves, solution Of arsenate OF lead
and bordeaux mixture is effective.

cowpeas Grown With Sorghum Makes
Good Stock Feed.

attention TO the stage of growth and to
weather conditions little more trouble
will be experienced In obtaining we'll
cured cowpea hay than clover or al
falfa hay.
The bulletin recommends that COW.
pea hay be substituted in the southern
states for much of the hay now being
purchased from the North and West.
Cowpeas alone have not given good
results as a silage crop. In addition
to the high protein content, the green
vines contain large proportion of
water, producing watery sllage that
keeps poorly and Is not well relished
by stock. The best silage is obtained
when this crop Is grown with corn or
sorghum.
Serve Best for Hogs.
Although pasturing cowpeas is moi
thought the best farm practice, under
certain conditions 1t is advisable and
quite profitable. Any kind of live
stock may be pastured on cowpeas,
but hogs are generally used. The best
time for turning the stock on cowpeas
is when the crop has reached the stage
of maturity thought best for hay.
As soiling crop, the cowpea can
be used advantageously to supplement
crops with less protein, such as corn,
sorghum and millet. 1t is used more
as soil builder than any other legilme,
because it is so easily grown, has such
a marked effect upon succeeding crops,
and thrives under great diversity
Of conditions.

village, 5000 would have been the
amount expected.
Explains Fund Disposal.
In a statement made Saturday,
Chairman Orel Myers, of the Darl1e
County committee for relief in the
Near East, announces that he wishes
to correct an erroneous impression
that has gained considerable Roadway
throughout Darke County that por-
ton of the money collected for the
relief of the starving children will be
used to dferay expenses of the local
committees engaged in raising the
fund. Mr.. Myers states that If there
is any expense incurred in the coliec-
ton Of this money in Darke county, it
will have to be paid by the members
OF the committee personally, as every
dollar that is contributed to the fund
must be accounted for to the state
committee, Who in turn hand it in to
the national committee.
No provision whatsoever is made for
the payment of expenses from money
collected. For this reason, no receipts
will be mailed to each contributor, but
at the proper time list will be pub
lished in the local press. of the
amounts turned in.
