Among Important Points In Determlntag
Value of Legume Are Its Value

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Cowpeas, velvet beans and soy beans
are all summer annuals, agriculturally
much alike, and for tbe best results
are adapted to nearly the same regions.
A comparison of these crops
Is not so much a matter of determining
which Is the hest crop as It is a
careful consideration of their climatic
and soil adaptations and the special
ases of each on the farm. Among the
* "* A !-4'- Lrtt /IntAVmino thp
important puiius mm ucm unm
value of a leguminous crop are Its
value for forage, both in quantity and
quality, either as hay or pasture; its
ability to supply additional nitrogen;
and the value of the seed as a cash
crop or for its utilization on the farm.
The soy bean ha sabout the same
climatic adaptations as corn, and
therefore its culture Is much more extended
than that of either the eowpea

?r velvet bean. The velvet bean Is especially
adapted to the well-drained
portions of the Atlantic and gulf '
coastal plain areas, while the cowpea
can be ;:rown successfully not only
there, but throughout the cotton belt
and the lower half of the corn belt
The velvet bean and cowpea are quite
sensitive te cold, whereas the soy bean
withstands Considerable frost in
'Wring and fall. Cowpeas and velvet
beans both succeed on poor soils bettor
than the soy bean. For soli lmamvHmtmfi
the velvet bean Is. In fr n
aral, superior CD' either the cowpea
or the soy bean; although the cowpea
succeeds under a greater diversity ef
traditions. ?
The soy bean is to be preferred for
fbrage purposes on account of Its upright
growth. The cowpea and velvet
been are vlny plants and therefore
- "tTe velvet bean
cannot be excelled.' Htrwever, the cowpea
and soy bean can be grown over
a more extended area, and some of
ttelr numerous varieties ftfrolsb
fattier pasture.
fir the production of seed, the soy
bean has many advantages over the
cowpea and velvet bean. The soy
bean matures all its seed at one time
and can easily be handled by machinery.
Hand picking is most commonly
ftacticed In gathering cowpea seed,
although machinery can be used to
advantage. It Is necessary to pick
velvet beans- by hand because of the
abundant, tangled mass of vines.
V?he seeds of velvet beans, cowpeas,
and eoy beano are ail excellent feed
tut cattle and hogs. Cowpea seed,
however, is rarely cheap enough for
feed, but it is extensively used, especially
in the Southern states, for hu so
food. Soy-bean seed, in addition
a fts value for feed, la valuable for
IA? prod action of oil and meal, and its
sse for human food Is increasing.
The eawpea will undoubtedly continue
to be one of the most Important
leguminous crops In the Southern
states. No other crop sown under
such a diversity of conditions or retailing
so little attention In soil preparatfaa
and cultivation succeeds so
yell. Under the most varied conditions
forage, soil improvement and hufean
food are obtained.

was the center of a large, permanen
encampment. Artillery range and min'

It became a menace to visitors. Th'

to restore that stone and has set flrr
