COWPEA8 FOR FOOD AND FEED
(Hy Uuy A. 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

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World war he rescinded, and !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

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

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.

preparing to return to Florence. He
had decided to take with him a single

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

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-'

agreed with us that Earl Clary was ^
probably the greatest of South Carolina's
