PLANT A BIG ACRE
AGE OF COWPEAS.
Do not fail to plant cowpeas. If
necessary the South could yet along
pretty well on cowpeas, cornbreaJ end
bacon, and the vines and hulls from
this crop are fine livestock feed.
I luV^r.'yn ^Wl, corn 0|. af_
ter wheat" and oats and if planted by
June 25 in Norh Arkansas and before
July 15 in South Arkansas will still
make a profitable crop. Cowpeas
will be ready for hog grazing in 75 to
90 days but if they are to be used for
liay they should be cut before frost.
In many sectic\3 late plantings will
not give enough time to mature the
crop before frost. Cowpeas of the
Whippoorwill, New Era, Black-eye, or
Iron varieties are best and if there is
enough labor they should be seeded at
the rate of 15 to 20 lbs. to the acre
and planted in rows 30 to 36 inches,
f covered shallow and cultivated. This
||||Sa will ordinarily double the
|Ha for the same amount of seed
Hinted.
ONE WAY TO SOLVE
FARM LABOR PROBLEM
No man can tell when it is going tc
rain but every one should plan ahead
j While at work figure out at least
i what would be best to do tomorrow.
! and day after tomorrow. Keep ir
I mind that the plans which will brin£
the most money durng the worknji
season are those that will keep ali
hands and mules the greatest numbei
of hours during the day. Arrange
your crops so that they will not all
need cultivation at the same ttime
When it does rain, get ready for the
next good day—look after the dull
plow's, hoes asd cultivators and sec
that everything is in good shape. A
pior implement of any kind is sure
to cost you money because it cuts
down the amount of work as well as
the quality of work the operation can
age of labor we must figure on all
these things if we are to get maxi
mum crops and consequently maxi
mum profits from the farm .
