Canada Offers 160 Acres
Free to Farm Hands
Bonus of Western Canada Land to Men Assisting in
Maintaining Needed Grain Production
The demand for farm labor in Canada is great As an inducement
to secure the necessary help at once Canada will give
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES OF
LAND FREE AS A HOMESTEAD
and allow the time of the farm laborer who has filed on the land to
apply as residence duties the same as if he actually had lived on it
This special concession is the reduction of one year in the time to
complete duties Two years’ residence instead of three as heretofore
but only to men working on the farms for at least six months in 1917
This appeal for farm help is in no way connected with enlistment
for military service but solely to increase agricultural output A won-
derful opportunity to secure a farm and draw good wages at the same
time Canadian Government will pay all fare over one cent per
mile from St Paul or Duluth to Canadian destination InfonnatiOD

8TR0NG STATEMENT-
-
ONE of the latest additions to the
lurge and rapidly growing list of
prominent tnen who have publicly In-
dorsed Tanlac for the good It bus done
them Is the name of lion Frank V
Evans former Mayor of Birmingham
Mr Evans Is one of the best known

South's greatest newspapers the Bir-
mingham Age-IIcrald He was also ex-
aminer of public accounts of Alubnma
In telling of the benefits he had de-
rived from Tanlac Mr Evans said:
"For years I suffered with gastritis
and indigestion in the worst form I
was habitually constipated and had
pains in my shoulders and headache
continually My appetite left me al-
most entirely and everything I would
eat hurt me Finally I got to having
awful attacks of acute indigestion pal-
pitation of the heart and smothering
spells For a long time I would have
one or more of these spells every night
and I would wake out of my restless
sleep gasping for breath
"I bought a bottle of Tanlac and to
my surprise and gratification I began
to feel relief after the first few doses
I kept taking the medicine and now my
recovery is simply the talk of Birming-
ham” Tanlac has done me more good than
anything I ever tried I now wake up
in the- mornings feeling fine
I’m telling all my friends about
Tanlac and am recommending it to
them regardless of their age and
trouble”

LEGUMINOUS FORAGE CROPS FOR SOUTH
COWPEAS ON LEFT—
(Prepared by the I’nlted Btittei Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
Cowpeas are grown more widely in
the cotton region than any other
leguminous crop They are fairly well
adapted to all types of soil when well
drained and they muke a good crop
for either hay or pasture C’owpeas
are easily grown and the seed Is rel-
atively Inexix-nslve They may be used
to occupy the ground as a regular crop
but are also well adapted as a catch
crop for pasturage or for green ma-
nure When well cultivated they leave
the soli In good condition to hnrrow
without plowing for grain or other
crops
There are many varieties of cow-
peas which vary considerably In hab-
its of growth and time of ripening
Thp Whippoorwill and the Grolt are
vigorous upright growers and there-
fore well adnpted for heavy yields of
hay Trailing varieties like the Black
the Red Ripper or the Unknown are
good for pasture and to leave on the
ground during the winter for soil en-
richment Under each of these three
names however various different va-
rieties occur In the seed trade The
Iron and the Brabham are noted for
their resistance to wilt and root knot
diseases which frequently occur and
they alone should be used where these
pests are prevalent
Cowpeas may be sown In rows or
broadcast The former method per-
mits of cultivation requires less seed
and usually gives better yields while
the latter way requires less labor
When sown In rows they should be
from three to four feet apart and from
two to three pecks of seed per acre
should be used Sorghum or corn Is
sometimes sown with cowpeas to be
used for hay or silage The cowpeas
are held off the ground In this way
and the stalks keep the cut cowpeas
loose so thnt nlr Is admitted more
readily nnd the hay Is easily cured
Curing cowpeas hay during a rainy
senson Is difficult nnd for this renson
planting should be done nt such times
thnt the cowpeas will be ready to cut
during the dry weather which Is com-
mon In September nnd October in most
parts of the South The hay should
be cut when the pods begin to turn
yellow but cutting mny be defen-ed
till later In case of unfavorable wenth-
er The ordinary mower Is the best
mnchlne for cutting When the vines
are thoroughly wilted they should be
turned with a tedder or pitchfork nnd
may then remain for 24 hours or so
before being raked Into windrows The
hay should then be put Into cocks nnd
remain there until It Is sufficiently
cured for hnuling to stack or barn
When the weather Is especially favor-
able the curing mny be done in the
windrows thereby saving the lnbor
of cocking It It gets wet In the wind-
row It should be spread out to dry ns
soon as the water has dried from the
Lespedeza
Hay Cocks
Canvas
Covered With
surface A convenient device some-
times used for drying cowpea “hay may
be made with strips or poles six feet
long Joined at the top and held four
feet apart at the bottom by means of
cross pieces The vines are piled upon
this rack which permits the air to cir-
culate freely among the vines thus
curing them quickly and satisfactorily
with little loss of leaves
Soy Beans
The soy bean is a comparatively new
crop In this country but one w hich has
fast gained favor in the South and
North alike The soy bean withstands
dry weather well and makes a hay
similar in quality to that from cow-
peas It grows erect and holds its
leaves better than cowpeas bnt has a
more fibrous stem Soy beans produce
heavier seed yields than cowpeas and
-V

SOY BEANS ON RIGHT
the seeds are richer In feeding value
There nre many different varieties
which vary in time of ripening from DO
days from sowing to the entire grow-
ing season
Soy heuns like cowpeas are sown
broadcast or drilled hut being erect
are well suited to cultivation In rows
Hows should he placed three or more
feet apart and the seeding should be
from one nnd one-lmlf to two peeks
per acre This qunntlty of seed should
of course be Increased for broadcast-
ing The seed should be plunted not
deeper than two Inches and as this Is
still a new crop In muny pluce inocula
tlon should be practiced It Is not well
to plant soy beans near to woods as
rabbits nre very fond of the plant
If used for hay soy beans should be
cut when the first leaves begin to turn
yellow If for seed the cutting should
not be done until the leaves have near-
ly all fallen The pods of many varie-
ties shatter easily and should be
harvested ns soon as ripe and in the
morning when pods are wet with dew
Soy beans nre harvested for hay In
the same manner as cowpeas but are
cured with less difficulty The hay Is
fully as nutritious as thnt from cow-
peas and Is relished by all farm ani-
mals Lespedeza
Lespedezn Is a self-seeding annual
legume which Is spread over the en-
tire cotton region except on the light
sandy soils of Florida It Is univer-
ally used as late summer pasturage
but on fertile soils it mnkes such a
heavy growth that It Is profitably
harvested for hay On fields that have
become barren nnd unproductive les-
pedeza wil do much to restore the fer-
tility of the soil nnd commonly It ap-
pears even If not sown
Seeding should he done! In late wln-
ter or early spring nt the rate of about
one-half bushel of seed per ncre When
grown for hay It Is commonly sown
with oats the oats being sown In Sep-
tember or October nnd the lespedeza
In the following February or March
after first harrowing the ground The
principal part of the lespedeza plant Is
leaves the stems being very slender
It makes a hay equal to red clover oi
cowpeas in quality
Alfalfa
On land 'where it will succeed al-
falfa Is one of the best crops for a
permanent meadow nnd is also valu-
able as a pasture plant Alfalfa needs
rich well-drained land having a loose
subsoil and containing a good supply
of lime The blnck prairie region of
Alabama nnd Mississippi the alluvial
sections along the Tennessee Missis-
sippi and Red rivers northeastern
Texas and the region of the Rio
Grande nre all adnpted to the produc-
tion of alfalfa Wherever the soil is
of limestone origin or contains a high
percentage of lime alfalfa Is nearly
sure to succeed Sandy soils nnd dry
clay uplands have not proven satis-
factory for alfalfa neither does it
thrive In the Gulf-coast region
Many soils not naturally adapted to
alfalfa have been made suitable by
special treatment and the ncrenge of
this crop Is Increasing very fast as a
result of the utilization of suqh areas:
Some wet lands become suited to al-
falfa when thoroughly drained Lands
newly drained and many other well-
drained lands commonly need an ap-
plication of lime for alfalfa From
one to two tons of burnt lime two or
three tons of slaked lime or three or
four tons of finely ground limestone
per acre are good applications
The seedbed should be thoroughly
prepared before sowing alfalfa seed
that Is it should be finely pulverized
w'ell compacted nnd free from weeds
Well-cultivated fields of early varie-
ties of cowpeas or soy beans early po-
tatoes or similar crops which mature
early may be prepared easily for al-
falfa I
Fall-sown alfalfa should yield from
three to five cuttings the following
season and average about one ton of
cured hay per acre each cutting There
Is no better hay than alfalfa for
dairy beef cattle sheep and young
growing stock of all kinds It Is also
a valuable feed for working animals
but care should be taken not to feed
It excessively It affords splendid
pasturage for hogs but care must be
taken not to pasture It too closely nor
too late In the season In general
pasturing alfalfa Is not to be recom-
mended In the South as the stand Is
frequently Injured then weeds thrive
and Invade the field
