Cardwell) It does not make any difference to the farmer whether the cowpeaa Is a native of Central Africa, India or China. It does matter that pound for pound cowpea hay la as vauable as clover hay and nearly equal In value to alfalfa and wheat bran, and that It La a wholesome and nutritious table food from which a variety of palatable as well as economical dishes can be in a-de. The cowpea Is of ancient cultivation for human food, particularly In Africa and Asia, and also in the Mediterranean region of Europe. Although in the t inted States It has been grown mainly for soiling, hay, ensilage, ami pasturage for all kiuds of sioek and as a soil improving crop, tie veil heless the seeds, chiefly of the Hlackeye and White varieties, have been commonly used for human feed In the Southern Slates. For feed the crops is especially valuable, because It will grow on all types of arable soil, requiring little attention and producing most excellent forlane. In addition, it is of great value as a green-manure crop to increase the humus and the nitrogen content of the soils upon which It is grown. Cowpea hay should be substituted in the Southern States for much of the hay which Is now being purchased in the .North and West. The greater use of this crop for hay and pastorage increases the production of livestock, an essential factor In securing the maximum returns In any system of agriculture. It also aids much in keeping the soil In good tilth and maintaining its productiveness. The .cowpea plaut may bo fed to livestock as pasturage, hay, or ensilage. and the seed may be used as human food. Cowpeas are not grown for seed more generally because of ill-- uncertainty of the crop, the exp.-ns.' of harvesting, and the low yield commonly obtained These factors have created a relatively high price tor the seed la localities well suited to product; a i; will be found highly profitable : i a: iu i .>wpea se?*d on a large stale, sp'-. lady if the best machinery for a i ndling the crop is used H i: v am cowpea need ?an be done most cheaply by the use of machinery.

C.?WNU Service Germany's demand that the mandate settlement in regard to Tanganyika following the World war he rescinded, and ! that the territory be returned to Germany, brings that vast I East African region again into the news. Tanganyika was the bulk of the German East African em- j pire before the WqjsM war. The remainder of pre-war ' Germany's domain, made up'1 of two comparatively small areas, was turned over to the Belgian Congo and Portugal's colony, Mozambique, for administration. Extending from the shore of the Indian ocean nearly halfway across Africa, Tanganyika covers an area about 4'.2 times that of England and Scotland combined. .Twenty thousand square miles is under water. Boundary lines bisect Lake Victoria on the north and Lake Tanganyika and Lake Nyasa on the west. If the mandate were relinquished, Great Britain would not only break her continuous chain of possessions from Egypt to the tip of the Cape of Good Hope, but her census enumerators would have to deduct more than 5,000,000 people from the British census. Most Tanganyikans are tribes of mixed Bantu races in various degrees of civilization. Some tribes in remote areas show little, if any, effect of contact with Europeans, while oth- i ers through the establishment of schools, and missions, have im- j proved their methods of farming, Europeans in Minority There are less Uhan 10,000 Europeans in the territory, most of whom are residents of coast towns. There also are about 32,000 Asiatics. They also live largely in the coastal region and are employed in industry and trade. One of the first moves of Germany after laying claim to Tanganyika in 1884 was toward the abolition of slavery. The government declared that every native bom after 1905 was to be free. The wildness of the region and lack of communications, however, made the enforcement of the decree almost impossible, particularly in isolated regions. In 1922, the British, recognizing the tendency of many tribes not to abide by the decree, made a new attempt to destroy slavery by legislation, and today" there is little evidence of the old custom. Forests covering thousands of square miles of the territory are the basis of a profitable lumber industry. Then there are extensive open areas used as farm lands, Vihcio sisal, cotton, coflee, ground nuts, and grain are grown for domestic needs, and for export Other open country supports 5,000.000 cattle. 2,300,000 sheep, and 3,300,000 goats. These and wild game are the basis of a large trade. Europe-in-A frica Dar-es-Salaam is the capital of Tanganyika. To the traveler familiar with the towns of the tropical coasts of Africa, it seems almost a fairy city as his steamer moves into the harbor. Up and down the coast he has seen only the rambling, squalid Negro and Arab towns; but here is a garden city of Europe set down amid groves of palms and flowering trees of the tropics. Streets and boulevards were laid out on a generous scale, bordered by palms and other trees and beauf.ficd by beds of flowers and shrubs. Along the shady streets German builders fashioned bungalows of white stone with red tile roofs that would do credit to Florida or California. Huge government buildings were set up?buildings that in size and architecture would do credit to European or American cities of 200,000 population. In addition the 1 Germans built a fine, modern hos- ' 'J Pital. warehouses, wharves, a dry dock, and business blocks. Thi$ spotless town of the tropics had just been completed when the World war started. In 1918 the German forces surrendered Dar-ea-Salaam and Tanganyika to the Brit- I This tablet at Ujiji, on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, marks the spot Stanley met Livingstone. ish, and the country was made by the treaty of Versailles into a British mandate. The British have retained the attractive German-built capital. Economically, Dar-es-Salaam has not-lived, up to expectations.. Considerable trade continues to run in old channels, using ports that are mere roadsteads north and south of the capital. Dar-es-Salaam has a great asset, however, in its railway across Tanganyika territory to Lake Tanganyika. Because Tanganyika contains some of the best grazing ground on the continent, several tribes of the territory have built their civilizations almost entirely on cattleraising. The Masai tribe, whose chief interests are wars and cows, owns the richest pastures and the finest herds. They take little milk Of the former German possessions in Africa (shown in black) France holds mandates to T ogoland (I) and the Camerobns (2^)y^icith a minor interest allowed to Great Britain in both. South Africa (5) holds a mandate for Southwest Africa (3) and Britain a mandate for Tanganyika (4). Angola (6) is held by Portugal. from their cows; consequently the calves thrive. Land-Locked Lake Lake Tanganyika is the world's longest fresh water lake. It has many unusual features. Approximately 150 miles long and from 20 to 45 mi^ wide, it lies in 9 rift with high banks on both sides. Some sheer cliffs are 2,000 feet and more high. In other places mountains near the coast reach altitudes of 8,000 and 10,000 feet. The surface of the lake is about 2,500 feet above sea level, and its greatest depths are approximately 4,700 feet. Thus its floor is well in excess of 2,000 feet below the ocean level. Only Lake Baikal, Siberia, among fresh water lakes, has a greater depth. Although Tanganyika is classed as a freeh lake, its waters are sometimes slightly brackish. It teems^ with fish; more than 200 varieties have been identified. Along parts of the shore are numerous crocodiles and herds of hippopotami. Sudden tropical storms are a danger to navigation on the lake. The wind whips up through a canyon in the southern end and lashes the lake into a raging sea. Enormous breakers roll up and crash on the shores, often uprooting trees and demolishing native huts. Lake Tanganyika lies roughly in the middle of the chain of great lakes which stretches north and south through east central Africa for approximately 1,200 miles. The northern end of the lake lies about 200 miles south of the equate Nearly the entire western snore belongs to Belgian Congo. The northern part of the east shore is in territory of the Belgian mandate of Ruanda-Urundi, while all the remainder of the east coast is part of Great Britain's mandate of Tanganyika. Northern Rhodesia, another British territory, borders the lake for 85 miles at its southern end. Tanganyika was first visited by Europeans in 1858 when Burton and Speke reached Ujiji on the eastern shore. Ujiji is the memorable spot where Stanley found Livingstone on October 18, 1871. A stone commemorating that meeting still stands in the town, although now about 450 yards from the shore because of the receding of the water since then. "Sid" Smith Talks of .Old-Time Days Syduoy ("81u ) nmiin. baseball oldt liner and pioneer contribution of i Soutit Carolina to thy big league, re[ mlnlsced yesterday about a varied and colorful career while recovering I from an injury caused by a freak pla! tol discharge that occurred Monday i morning. According to Sid, who is now uianuger of the state employment service office at Florence, he had spent the week end here with his wife, who Uvea at 131 Watoree avenue, and was preparing to return to Florence. He had decided to take with him a single action "44" pistol that had been a family heirloom. The weapon was wrapped* in some soiled clothes destined for a Florence laundry. As he stepped onto the running board of his car, the pistol slipped from the clothes, struck the curb, cocking itself, bounced to the running board and discharged. The bullet entered Mr. Smith's leg Just above the ankle, followed the bone upward aud came out Just below the knee. He was rushed to the Providence hospital where he is now resting comfortably. It was not an ordinary wound, but Sid Smith Is not au ordinary man. A native of Camden, he made his first big splash In 1907 when he took off for Philadelphia to go through his pace* for Conn la Mack and his Phi!- . adelphia Athletics. He stayed in the big leagues for ten years, seeing service with Cleveland of the American and Pittsburgh of the National, as well as with the Athletics. In 1917, he went to Shreveport, La., to manage the club there, remaining' until 1925. Since then, he has pursued a business career, but has never lost his love for and Interest in sports. And not Just baseball, but other athletic activities as well. In fact, ho got so interested in a discussion of Carolina's football past, that he momentarily forgot the band-' aged leg. with Its painful wound.

He's getting a little old now?too old for thp aggressive game of polo he used to play on Camden's fields, and to take his turn at and behind the plate, and to "mow 'em down" In cruising through the center of the line, but his thoughts are still young and he's still just as interested in "the game" as he ever was.
