COWPEAS TO FURNISH HUMUS

Why low cowpeas? Why put teres
and acres of land In this legume that
was onoe confined almost excluMvelv
to the South and has now become one
of the staple cropa that Is feeling Ita
way a few miles farther toward the
^Canadian boundary every year?
1 will confess 1 am a cow pea crank,

ProKreaa. 1 don't have the idea that

willing to maintain that it will do mor*
than any ottffcr legume we have to
ward maintaining our aoii fertility. I
oan enuinmrafe a good many roaaons
why erefry farmer who can grow oojr

And among Uioae reaaona I want to
place th? maintaining of our aolla

pan lotlrti but 9 few inches under the

shew after * tew years' cultivation,
the oowpea ia a greater aid than any
other one crop.
Take^ the root* and the atabbto.
What are they worth in dollars and

palt otft of the air you would pay

where the country Is under water and

The only news from the East Is the
German report that the Ruaalan offen

force having been driven back.
In <he Caucasus the Turks . have

Kara-Utg&n and are fleroely attack

Seemingly the Ruaalans bellpve the
report that the Turkish cruiser doeben
has been damaged, for their Black

Turkish fleet with the Goebe:i. has
boen attacking Turkish ports and de
stroying their shipping
There is no development in the near
east beyond the report from Sofia that
M. Guenadinff, former Bulgarian rnln
later of foreign affairs, is leaving for

object of which Is to ascertain the at
