The drills, songs and marches by, a number of the primary and interme-1 diate grades were unusually good, i The song: "Sleepy Head," by the 6th , and 7th grades was interesting and amusing, and t,.eir "butterfly dance" was beautifully rendered. The play: "No Victory Without Labor," given by members of the 8th and 9th grade.-, brought new credit to teachers, school and the community. The Rev. Mr. Pritchett of Indiantown Presbyterian church, 'made a very able address to the school on Thursday night. The base ball team of the Cooper 'Academy completed their park and are now in excellent running order. The school team cleaned up the ground j and made their athletic park during the school session. Robert E. Cooper "fell" the first tree and won the first prize by knocking the ball outside the park grounds. Of the ten games played by the FEED YOUR LAND AS WELL AS YOUR LIVE STOCK. Some Timely Admonition for the Letters of the Soil Who Would Improve the Same. For the honor of the land and for the health of the farm animals utilize as much acreage as is available for plantiflg some legume crop. Three of the best for the cotton states are cowpeas, soy beans and velvet beans. Cowpeas?The cov/peas is the best known and most extensively grown leguminous crop in the southern states.lt is grown mainly for forage and to improve the soil, but the seeds aie rather commonly used for human food. The cowpea will do best on sandy loams, but will succeed on practically all types of well drained soil. The cowpea should not be sown before corn planting time, and usually it is better to wait until at least two or three weeks later. For green manuring, pasturage, or hay, cowpeas sown as late as the first of August will take considerable growth. When they are to follow wheat or oats they should be sown at the earliest possible moment after the crop is cut. For seed production the best practice is to sow in rows three feet apart, while for forage or soil improvement broadcasting is most generally practiced. Cowpea hay is an excellent hay for all kinds of stock. When cut at the right stage of growth and properly handled the cowpea is equally as nutritious as hay from other legumes and is greatly relished by all farm animals. For further information see United States Department of Agriculture, Farmers' Bulletins 1148, 1153, 1125 and 986. Soy Beans?Soy beans are fine for feed and fine for fertility. Time of planting extends from early spring until mid-summer, depending on latitude and use to be made of the crop. For grain or as a main hay crop, the best time is about that for planting corn, when the ground has become thoroughly warm. Soy peajis are more generally grown with Corn than with any other crop, and may be combined advantageously v.^th many systems of crop rotations. The growing of soy bean-seed ennbles the farmer to produce at moder.net no?+ nf Hie liitrVi nrntcin rVV, WOW) |/M4 V VA *?tw ?-- - -? concentrates necessary for stock feed and milk production. As a pasture, green manure, soiling, or even as a hay crop, the soy bean may be sown as late as August 1st. For further information see United States Department of Agriculture, Farmers' Bulletin 973, 986, 1125 and. 1008. Velvet Beans?The velvet bean is the most vigorous growing annual legume cultivated in the United States. As velvet beans are very susceptible to cool weather, they should not be planted until the soil has become warm. Plant velvet beans with corn. They may be planted in the same row with corn or in separate rows. Two rows of com to one of velvet beans is the most popular method of planting. Plant the beans when the com is about two feet high. The yield of corn may be decreased slightly by the hpftns hut the value of the beans for green manure and feeding purposes will be much greater then the losss to the corn crop. The velvet bean is a splendid soil improving legume. It produces a vast amount of leaves and vines which add both humas and fertility to the soil. ' An acre of good velvet bean vines when plowed under will add as much amonia to the soil as will an application of 1,900 pounds of cotton seed meal. The velvet bean is an important protein for the production of beef and dairy products and furnishes excellent winter foraging for cattle. The most important use of the velvet bean is as a grazing crop for cattle and hogs in the autumn and winter.
