MADE FOR EMPEROR'S TABLE
Massive Silver Set Ordered by Ma poleon | Put on Exhibition at
 New York.

The massive silver set of 919 pieces ordered by Napoleon I, during the hundred days, delivered after his ab- dication to Louis XVIII, and used by the French royal family at Tuileries palace from 1915 to 1880, has been placed on exhibition in New York. Two bullet holes in the soup tureen bear evidence of the revolutions it has passed through. Each article bears the Bourbon coat of arms, the heur de lis surmounted with the crown and is stamped with the official govern ment mark, the mark of the chief craftsman and of the guild. Napoleon ordered this set of silver from Bien- nais on his return to France from his first exile the island of Elba. It was made during the hundred days of Napoleon's second reign, but before it could be delivered Napoleon was forced to abdicate and was again ex- He'd this time to end his days on St. Helena. Louis XVIII, his successor, paid Biennais for the silver and had the Bourbon coat of arms placed on It. The set of silver passed finally to the heirs of the duo de Chambord and through them has come to North America.

 CLOSE COOPERATION NECESSARY BETWEEN GAMERS AND GROWERS

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture)
 Growing canning peas is a special ized industry which requires the closest cooperation between the grower and the canner. A nev Farm CTS Bulletin, No. 1255, "The Produc- ton of Peas for Canning" by Chester J. Hum, assistant horticulturiSt, has been issued by the United States De partment of Agriculture. This bulletin describes the plan followed by can ners to provide a supply of peas. and the methods the growers should use in growing, harvesting and handling the crop.
 Being legumes, canning peas fit ad- mfrably into a general farm rotation in sections where the crop can be grown and have a marked influence in increasing the yield of crops which follow them. Easy accessibility to cannery which will contract for the entire output is a necessity if the growing of canning peas is to be on a commercial scale. Peas for canning pass their prime condition within a very few days. and
Williams news., 1922-05-26

it is necessary to handle the crop promptly.
 Refuse Is Big Asset.
 In dairy and stock-feeding regions the utilization of pea-vine refuse as feed is an important asset. Many can- neries winter large herds of stock profitably, using pea-vine silage for the greater part of the ration When pea vines are completely routed they have a fair fertilizing value but the material should not be used on land to be planted in peas. It is con- sidered a better practice to feed the roughage to stock and obtain manure from the animals, thus securing a double return on the vines and labor.
 Peas rank third in tonnage among the canned vegetables of this country. The industry, which originated near Baltimore, Md, is now centralized for the most part in the region about the Great Lakes. In 1920 there were 12,- 313,0OO cases of peas canned, which represented 133,272 tons of peas grown on 139,1SS acres.
 Fertile Soil Is Needed.
 The pea crop requires a mellow, fertile, well-drained soil. The seed bed should be deeply prepared and left with a smooth surface 10 facfli- tate harvesting with a mower. The crop, as usually grown in drills like wheat, requires no cultural attention after the seed is sown. Being es- sentially a cocl-weather crop, 1t is grown most successfully in those re- gions where the spring is a little slow in changing from cool to warm weather.
 The location of a canning factory Is determined by the suitability of the section for the growing of peas and by the prospects of obtaining, at equitable prices. sufficiently large crops in the vicinity to run the plant at its full capacity for a reasonable length of time. The pea crop is usually grown under contract. The canning company usually specifies the varieties and acreage to be planted. often provides the seed. and decides

"DNORCE RING" THE LATEST
Fad Recently Adopted by Those Freed
 From the Marital Tie by Court Proceedings.

From time immemoria1 woman has worn on the third finger of her left hand a plain band of gold as a symbol of her honored position of wifehood. And when death takes from her the partner of her life she signifies her loss and grief by wearing appropriate garb.
 But in what a different manner to- day the widow of the present, that is. the one who by the sanction of the courts, has resigned her job as wife, makes known to all the world her re- newed state of single b1essedness. For the grass widow .of today has adopted the latest of fads, the .'di- vorce ring" The jeweled symbol of the severance of the marital tie takes the place of the former gold band. It is made of gold or platinum on which is mounted a broken Cupid's bow at the end of which is set a jewel to rep resent a divorce. Should the wearer once more embark on the matrimonial saas and again come to wreck then another jewel is added to indicate the second divorce, and so on.

are partly prevented by the early working of the ground, by the heavy cover formed by the pea vines, and also by the early harvesting of the crop. Stable manure, when available, may be applied with advantage. Many growers prefer to apply the manure to the previous crop rather than di- rectly to the peas. Manure mixed with decayed pea vines should not be used as this practice is liable to spread diseases affecting the crop. The growing of peas increases the nitrogen content of the soil. InOcula- ton of the seed will often give an increase of 100 to TOO pounds of peas per acre.
 Seed should be procured from a reliable source. It should be from the crop of the previous year and not blending of new and old seeds. The time for planting and harvesting is determined by the locality. Methods of harvesting and practices followed in disposing of the pea vines are dis cussed in the bulletin, which is ;vail- able on application to the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. c.

Moses Diggs, an old Alabama darky, had been arrested for having more than one wife, the last woman being the complainant. He happened to be well known locally and considered an orderly character.

the time to harvest. From 10 to 10 acres of peas will maintain q fair TO- tation balance for farm of 100 acres
 Such crops as alfalfa and clover may be SOwn as companion crops with peas. In many sections of the country where the early types of peas are harvested during the first part of June the land may be fitted immediately for some other crop. Often poor crop of peas may be deliberately turned under without harvesting to get the secondary effect upon any sue ceeding crop. The increase with wheat following this practice has been noted in New York state as varying from to IS bushels per acre. Some farm CTS believe that a marked improve ment is also seen on the hay crop and on the pasturage which follows the wheat.
 General Suggestions
 Good drainage is very important. Fall blowing is recommended where 1t can be practiced without injury to the land, and thorough fning of the top layer of soil at planting time. Weeds
