| Notes by WireI
to The Argus |

London, March 10.-Since gems
are a bit out of favor women have
turned to embroidered jewelry. The
latest fad is the embroidered brooch.
1t combines the idea of the cameo
with that of forentine decorations.
In variety of shapes, the brooch is
a bit of satin with figures silhouet-
ted on it in black silk, the cameo"
motif surrounded by a tiny embroid-
cred border of gaily colored flow
ers. The brooch is pinned on the
gown. or suspended from the neck
by a black satin cord.
New York, March 10.-There is
no reason why a sun porch should
not be the joy spot of the home
these days. Not only is wicker fur
niture more coy and more bril-
liantly coiored than ever, but porch
accessories grow increasingly in
genious. One of the latest porch
decorations is a fair sized bowl OF
Indian pottery for holding flowers.
The bowls are scented with sandal
wood powder mixed into the clay.
They throw of a pleasing perfume
at all times, and especially on a
damp day.
Miami, March 10.-Many of the
one-strap low shoes seen here have
the new button guards. These are
little guards of jet, enamel, gold or
silver, made to slip on over the one
button of the shoe. Since shoes of
this type do not permit buckle the
demure little guard adds the deco
rative touch which was needed. Low
heels for street wear are extremely
smart this season. They may be baby
Louis heels if you insist, but the
fiat heels are the more fashionable.
Bronze shoes, in line with the
vogue for bronze lace and jewelry.
are making a determined effort to
get into the fashionable limeIight.
New York. March 1O.-This is to
be a decidedly blue spring. One
new shade of blue follows the
other so swiftly that it is hard to
keep them all in mind. Sorrento
blue, that deep and glorious tint,
was perhaps the first. Periwinkle

Seeded at this late date. the crop
makes considerable vine growth
which would hardly be sufficient to
mature seed.
On other farms, the peas are seed
ed with success in the corn at the
last cultivation, bushel of seed an
acre being sufficient in this case
Some farmers drill the peas in rows
between the corn, this method re-
quiring less seed and therefore be-
ing advisable when seed prices are
high.
The nitrogen gathered by ton OF
peas is worth about So on the basis
of the commercial cost of nitrogen,
the specialists point out. Also the
hay obtained from the peas is salts
factory feed for all classes of live
stock. When the manure resulting
from the feeding of the peas is re
TURNED to the soil, 20 to 80 pounds
of additional nitrogen is added for
each ton Of peas grown.

DRAINAGE OF FARM LANDS
GETTING ADDED ATTENTION

With the decrease In the cost of
tile. Kentucky farmers this year have
shown more interest in the drainage
of their fields than they have shown
in any one of the past three or four
years, according to Earl G. WEIGH,
farm engineering specialist of the
College of Agriculture. In line with
this marked interest twelve demon
strations have been arranged by the
college extension division on as
many farms in eight different coun-
ties of the state to point out the val
ue of drainage to interested persons,
he said.
Warren, Madison, Rockcastle and
Carol counties each have two such
demonstrations, while Muhlenberg,
Hart, Webster and Jefferson counties
each have one Additional demon
strations probably will be arranged
in cooperation with farmers in other
counties in the near future.
ut is impossible to bring soil up
to the highest state of fertility with
out good drainage" Mr. WEIGH said,
in speaking of the projects. when
land is poorly drained or not drained
at all, every quality necessary for a
fertile soil is either wholly or par
TALLY destroyed. Poor drainage low
ers the availability of ali the plant
food elements by preventing the
proper circulation of air through the
soil and prevents good structure
characterized by the 'crumbiness' that
is necessary for easy working of the
soil and the development of plant
root systems. 1t also prevents the
proper decomposition of organic mat
ter and the consequent formation of
compounds of nitrogen and other ele-
ments which are available as plant
food
"Heaving, or freezing out of win
ter crops, ais OILS favored by poor
drainage. If poorly drained land has
slope 1t washes more than soil that
has good under drainage for the OBJ
vious reason that more water must
be carried away bysurface drainage.
Many sloping lands have poor under
drainage. A striking Characteristic
of poorly drained soil is tight, whit

ing brown or rust colored spots. The
installation of tile drainage is the
only remedy that can be applied to
such soils.

coWPEAs SUPPLY BIG
NEEDS OF POOR SOILS

The cowpea is one of the best
crops that can be grown to supply
nitrogen and organic matter, the
two things needed most by poor soil
in Kentucky, soils and crops special.
lists of the College of Agriculture
say. Unlike other legumes, such as
alfalfa and clover, the peas make a
fair growth on poor, sour soils with
out either limestone or other fertil.
Tiers, although light application OF
limestone and some phosphate fer
tilizer helps them make a better
growth. The peas are especially val
liable as a soil improvement crop be
cause they may be seeded by being
broadcasted and therefore need nc
cultivation.
In using the peas for soil improve
ment many farmers seed them as a
cater crop after wheat, oats and rye.
