on think OF Europe's debt 10 us

that England must send 70 us
$500 900. oos worth o. wooden and

CALOMEL GOOD
BUT TREACHER0US
Next Dose May SaIivate, Shock
Liver or Attack Your
Bones.

You know what calomel is. It's mer.
curry; quicksilver. Calomel is danger
GUS. 1t crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, cramping and sickening you.
CalOmel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just 60 to
your druggist and get a bottle of Dod-
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
ard if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just 60 back and get your
money.
Don't take calOmel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens
you right up and you feel great. No
salts necessary. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
can not salivate.-Advertise

CLOSE COOPERATION NECESSARY
BETWEEN GAMERS AND GROWERS

(Prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Growing canning peas is a special
lied industry which requires the
closest cooperation between the
grower and the Gamer. A ney Farm
ers' Bulletin, No. 1855, "The Produc-
tion 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 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
follow them. Easy accessibility to a
cannery which will contract for the
entire output is a 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
The St. Mary banner., 1922-05-27

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 CT the
crop. Stable manure, when available.
may be applied with advantage. Many
growers prefer to apply the manure
to the previous crop rather than d.
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 700 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 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 vail
able on application to the Department
Of Agriculture. Washington. D. @.
The St. Mary banner., 1922-05-27

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 rotted they
have a fair fertilizing value but the
material should not be used on land
to be planted in peas. 1t Is con-
sidered q 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 r.
$4,000 cases of peas canned, which
represented 1922 tons Of peas grown
on 1918 acres.
Fertile Soil 10 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 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 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 canning 'actory IL
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 reasonable
length Of time. The pea crop Is
usually grown under contract. The
canning company usually specifies the
varieties and acreage to be planted.
