(Prepared by the United States Departmer
 of Agricuiture)
 Growing canning peas Is a special lzed industry which requires the closest cooperation between the grower and the canner. A new Farm ers' Bulletin, No. 1255, "The duo 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 8 supply of peas, and the methods the growers should use In growing, harvesting and handling the crop.
 Being legumes, canning peas fit ad- mirably 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 cannery which will contract for the entire output Is necessity if the growing of canning peas is to be undertaken on commercial scale. Peas for canning pass their prime condition within very few days, and 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 virA fn the greater part of the ration. When pea vines are completely rotted they have fair fertilizing value but the material should not be used on land to be planted in peas. It is con- sidered better practice to feed the roughage to stock and obtain manure from the animals. thus securing 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,- 313O00 cases of peas canned, which represented 133,2 tons of peas grown on 139.1SS acres
 Fertile Soil 10 Needed.
 The pea crop requires mellow, fertile. well-drained soil. The seed bed should he deeply prepared and left with smooth surface to facili- 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 cool-weather crop, 1t Is grown most successfully in those re- gions where the spring is little slow in changing from cool to warm weather.

 One service man of the American Legion has. however, started the nam- ing of babies after the national com- mander of the Legion of the year in which the child was born. The first on record Is young Hanford Morris, Atianta. Ga, born few days after Hanford MacNider. Mason City, Ia., was elected national commander of the Legion. His father Albert R. Morris, is a member of Atlanta post No. I of the Legion.
 Recently an ey-soldier of Chicago went into court and asked to be al- lowed to drop his middle name, which was unpronouncable, he declared. The court gave permission and the service man. an enthusiastic Legionnaire. chose the name of Legion to accom-. pany him through life.

If they hesitate, number of Iowa men might have word to say that would prompt them.
 It happened that the American Le- zion of Burlington. Ia., having a high carnival and desiring queen, chose one. The girl selected for her out standing beauty. wit, and spirit was Miss Ruth Metcalf, who later dis played tact. Miss Metcalf being duly and fittingly crowned queen, now would choose one of the ex-soldiers as king, 1t was announced, whereai some hundreds of assorted male beau ties struck attitudes of attention. Af. ter looking closely over the assembled Legionnaires, Miss Metcalf calmly picked out her own brother and crowned him king. Whereupon the issue was settled with nice diplomacy and the big carnival parade got un' der way.

bit the dust in approved fashion and. while touring through Bismarck, N. D., recently. Hanford MacNider, national commander of the American Legion. had the pleasure of meeting tiie gen tleman who caused the Blll's down fall. It was none other than old Chief Red Tomahawk, Sioux warrior. who some years ago captured Sitting Bulls pelt, and who came from the reserva- ton to greet the big chief of the white tribe. With Red Tomahawk came a number of the younger Sioux braves who fought in France with the A. F.. r. and gave the Germans the surprise of their lives.
 While in North Dakota Mr. Mac Nider smoked peace pipe with the Sioux chief and received congratula- tions of the chief of the first Ameri- cans for the organization which is en- deavoring to keep America for the present Americans.

PROTEIN FEEDS ARE NEEDED
On Average Farm Such Rcughages as Alfalfa Hay, Clover or Pea
 Hay May Be Fed.

A dairy COW may take on flesh when she receives carbohydrate ration; but her milk flow will continue to di- minish until enough protein feed is in- cluded to balance the ration. Protein feeds are essential where dairy cows are fed for profit. On the average farm such rOughages us alfalfa hay, clover or pea hay may be fed to form the bulk of the protein ration. while cottonseed meal is satisfactory for supplying protein In concentrated form.

It has been found that two cuttings taken when the alfalfa was in full bloom yielded as large q quan- tity as three cuttings taken when the plants were at the tenth bloom stage However. the quality of the hay was superior when the three cuttings were made.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
 SWAMP-ROOT

For many years druggists have watched with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medi- cine.
 It IS physician's prescription.
 Swamp Root is strengthening medi- cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and blad- der do the work nature intended they should do.
 Swamp Root has stood the test of years. It IS sold by all druggists on its merit and it should help you No other kidney medicine has so many friends.
 Be sure to get Swamp Root and start treatment at once.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. kilmer < Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.- Advertisement.

RAPE GOOD SUMMER PASTURE

 Will Endure Frost.

Among the crops which can be grown for succulent pasture for hogs or sheep during the summer and fall months. rape takes high rank. It furnishes abundant food which is greatly relished by those animals; it Is easily grown and can be sown most aiV time in the spring or early sum- mer after there is no further danger os severe frost. It will endure severe frost in the fall and can be pastured late provided stock is kept on when 1t Is frozen.

along who Is the mother of 9 children, to beat Mrs. Caranek's 21.
 A child had come to Mrs. Carapek's house each year for 21 years when America entered the World war. Which of the 21 was dearest to her she herself could not tell, but when the two eldest boys, Joseph and Louis went away to war the large Caranek family was cast into shadow. What else should I do?" Mrs. Caranek ques- toned. They are Americans and their country needs them. If it is a duty to raise children. it Is right to make them love their country" But when Joseph and Louis came home Joseph served overseas with the Ran- bow division and fought in four big battles, while Louis fought in and around Camp Beauregard-the little grocery store could scarce contain the joyful celebration.
 Mrs. Caranek came to America when she was fifteen years old, leaving her native village of Petravice in Czecho- slovakia. She Is forty-seven years old now and her husband Is fifty eight The youngest child Is six years old and the oldest twenty-eight. Mrs. Caranek has been to but one motlon-picture show in her life and she left before that ole was over. She works from i've In the morning until ten at night tn her grocery. And she hasn't a gray hair and has never been sick but once and enjoys life.

 Moisture Helps.

It is possible to grow very mild onions by the liberal use of we'll routed COW manure as fertilizer instead of the manure from the horse barn.
 Apply the manure literally during the spading process. and plant the onions at least two inches in depth. Too shallow planting will produce stronger onions than deeper planting. no matter what kind of soil is used. Moisture will help also n the produc- tinn If mlld 0nlono.

The location of 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 the time to harvest. From 10 to 15 acres of peas will maintain fair TO- tation balance for a 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 a 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 5 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 flning of the top layer of soil at planting time. Weeds 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- tion of the seed will often give an increase of 100 to TOO pounds of peas per acre.
 Seed should be procured from reliable source. It should be from the crop of the previous year and not a 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 avail able on application to the Department of Agriculture, Washington. D. c.

Rats are multiplying in numbers every year in spite of all of our rat killing campaigns and propaganda. This pest is one of the most serious sources of loss to the farmer and poui- tryman. Every effort should be made to free the premises of them, and the fact that they seem to hold their own should only be the signal for redoub- ling our efforts against them.
