CORN AND FODDER TIME.
Progriv Farmer Cur the Crap a
They Do Wheat.
Ail through August and far Into the
autumn month, according to locality,
the corn harvest will be under way.
In the south it Is called "fodder pull
log time." Wherever corn 1 grown
the eaon for gathering it in is al
ways Interesting. There seem to be
more sentiment in the corn harvest
than In any other. At the same time the
work of stripping corn from the stalk
and in stacking the fodder shocks is
not altogether play. The progressive
farmer of the northern and middle j
state are more expert In tbe saving of
fodder than are the farmers of the
south. Tbe plan Is simple. They cut
down the stalks, blades and all. and
cure them in the hocks as many farm
ers do with their wheat and oats.
Many southern farmers have tried
the plan of cutting and curing In
shocks and afterward snapping off the
ears and shredding tbe blades and
stalks.
For a year or two tbe plan was very
popular. It looked as if It would be al
most universally adopted. Those who
were fortunate in getting first class
shredding machines and who exercised
ordinary Judgment and skill In han
dling the corn crop In this wsy were
delighted with their experience, and
many are still following the practice.
For tea or twelve years tbe Georgia
experiment station has practiced the
cutting and shocking and shredding
system, and this plan Is still pursued
with satisfaction. One or two years,
owing to unusually bad seasons In
OORHHTJSKINQ TIMS.
Septembei (a rare occurrence) or a
little uuskillful handling, more or less
of the shredded stuff was badly dam
aged by dumpuess and beating. When
sweet and free from damage the
horses, mules 8"d cattle ate it freely,
rejecting but small percentage.

other roughage for months at a time.
The stalks by this process are out of
the way of tbe sowing of small grain.
The refuse stalks are not left to be in
the way next spring.
Tbe Illustration "Cornbusking Time"
Is tbe good old way In all sections, and,
although it is tedious. It is always
sure.
Quality In Farm Labor.
The time has come when the bar
rier known as tbe contract labor law
should be modified so that farmers
could hire the right kind of farm
hands in England and northern Eu
rope, advertising for them in a co
operative way In the foreign farm pa
pers or securing them through Amer
ican consular agents. First class men
could be obtained if they could be
legally promised Jobs In advance. As
It Is now, only a few of the best class
care to run the chances of coming
over with no definite prospect In view,
and tbe bulk of our Immigration is
not well suited to labor on northern
farms. Importation of trained, relia
ble help from northern Europe would
help to solve the Immigration prob
lem and thrft of farm labor as well.
Sift out the low grade Immigrants,
but take down the bars against those
who make the best kind of raw mate
rial for citizenship.
Value of Cowpeas.
The cowpt-n Is a large beanlike plant
ihat produces a large amount of for
age. It is valuable for a green food
or for plowing under for green ma
nure. It has been used successfully
for Improving wornout soils, especial
ly those that are light and sandy l:i
texture. Its greatest advantage for
this purpose Is Its ability to gather
nitrogen from the air and mineral ele
ments from subsoil. When the crop
Is plowed under these are left near
the surface, where they will be avail
able to shallow rooted crops nnd those
which canuot get nitrogen from tise 1
