"It was the right moment for u8,
aftd the dragoons charged home with
lauces. The flermans rallied and
formed into a square, hut tho volleys
thay fired were not sufficient to break

Trampled on by the horses, sabered

Why sow row pen a? Why put acres
and acres of land In this legume that
wss once confined almost exclusively
to the 8outb and has now become one
of the staple crops that Is feeling Its
way a few miles farther toward tha
Canadian boundary every year?
I will confea* I *& a cow pea crank,
says an Arkansas writer In Farm
Progress. I donl have the idea that
ft is the mainstay and the backbone
of all farming operations, bat 1 am
wilting to maintain Chat it will do more
than any other legume we have to
ward maintaining our soil fertility. 1
can enumerate a good many reasons
why every farmer who can grow cow
peaa should grow them.
And' among those reasons I want to
place the maintaining of our soils
first. Maybe they are not so neces
sary in the deep-soil oountftes, but In
shallow soiled sections where the hard
pan lurka but a few lnchee under the
surface and the clay ribs of the hills
show after a few years' cultivation,
the oowpea is a greater aid than any
other one crop.
Take the roots and the stubble
What are they worth in dollars and
centa? If you boaght the fertility they
pull out of the air you would pay
from $2 to $4 an acre for it. They are,
huieua, fertility, renewed vigor, the
promise of immediate results and the
hope of many a future yield.
Molt .of. our soils jare deficient In
humus. They have 'Been ever since
we cut the timber off the wooded
lands or turned'under the original sod
of deep rooted prairie grasses. Wo
have neglected the humus -aide of soil
maintenance for a many a long day
The cow pea vinea, roots and leave?
will help to restore it if we will turr
them under. If tha pea crop is turned
under when full of aap and at the
height of its growth it win be worth r
great deal to tha land.
Meij^buy subsolling plows and use
them. "Cowpeas will do much of thlF
necessary work. The roots will do the
eubsolling. as they reach down sn(*
down after moisture and soil stuff
They go to considerable depths and
thay take with them through the chan
