The Democratic leader tried prac-
tically the entire afternoon TO none

ognition by Speaker Evans who gave
the excuse that the business of the
House must not be interfered with.
Toward the end of yesterdays ses-

light. Assemblyman Rowland intro
duced a. resolution calling for the
recommital OF certain liquor bills in

| their purpose the calling upon con-
gress to amend the Volstead act so

George spoke at length against the

mittee to which the, were to be re-
committed is generally recognized
as the "morgue" of the House. The
bills were re-committed to Mr.. Row

! business.
Although three Republicans Joined
with the Democrats in opposing the
resolutions for recommitai the reso-
luton was passed by vote of 80 to

those who voted against the resolu-
tion included: Roegner of Passaic,

Her town house in Eaton Square is regarded as one of the most perfectly equipped homes in London. Chequers Court, the coun- try home of British prime ministers. which the Baldwins occupied through an agreement with MT. Bonar Law long before the highest honor in the kingdom came to them, is their third home, and their own private resi- dence in the country, Astley Hall, in Worcestershire, is the fourth and the favorite of the family.

CARE OF THE GROUND

Three and four hundred page books are written on this subject, most of which are by parties who never owned a home, and really have no conception of the necessary fac tors that make up for those condi- tions which anyone would accept as ideal home conditions.
 There are many difficulties to be met with in the care and the beauti- flying of the home grounds, and while the owner of the home may have perfect ideals as to what should obtain, they are not generally able to produce or maintain such conditions, due to the fact that they are unable to secure the services of a gardener to do the work While this is q fact it must be admitted that the aver age Householder is not willing to hire someone or spend the money necessary to keep his place looking decent. The writer has observed in Birmingham hundreds of places where even the grass on the lawn is overrun with weeds. grown tall and straggly and no effort would ieem to be made to cut the grass SC hat the general aspect of the place would be presentable. Again, shrub bery is permitted to grow wild.

SOY BEANS Ns. CoMPEAs

re, A stream of inquiries are reach beirg us as to the merits of soy beans and cowpeas. There has always been considerable difference of opinion regarding the merits of these two lcguminous or fertilizing plants, and much information is demanded as to which is the best or most economical The answer to this question depends mainly on what is desired in the resulting crop. On reasonably good land the cowpeas, and it makes no difference what variety, is probably the most suitable crop, because 1t will take care of itself under cir cumstances that no other crop could be maintained or prove profitable If, however. some cultivation can be given, or reasonable amount of cultivation or care can be given, the soy bean is likely to prove the most profitable.
 It should be understood that both of these plants belongs tC the legume family, and any effort to grow will greatly benefit the soil. Another thing, the bacteria necessary for maximum production of these two plants is generally present in all of our soils, consequently, the resulting crop from either plant Is generally satisfactory. The Age-Herald is asked nearly every day which is the best plant, the soy bean or cowpea, and before such question could be answered intelligently, it would really be necessary to know what Is desired in the resulting crop. Both plants are similar in fertilizing abil ity and are largely used for. the same purpose, but on very poor soil, the soy bean is superior plant, not only for building up the land, but for the production of hay, but If it is the purpose to produce food crop. the cowpea of course Is far superior. The truth about the mat ter Is that few people in the south realize the important factor of cow peas in the ordinary daily ration of the southern workman. If one can serve the southern laborer with properly cooked cowpeas, corn bread and buttermilk, with a mod crate amount of meat, there will never be any complaint about the ration.
 After all, the chief mission of the cowpea In the south, is to furnish food for the average farm workman, and for this purpose there is no other vegetable that meets the require ments as to protein, fat, phosphorus and those other clements so neces- sary to sustain vigor.
