DUTY ON COWPEAS. 



The Board of General Appraisers at 

 New York has rendered a decision on 

 the protest of the Wallerstein Produce 

 Co. affecting the rate of duty on cow- 

 peas and admitting the importation on 

 payment of 30 cents per bushel: 



"The importation in question in this 

 case consists of 1,000 bags of black- 

 eyed beans, as described in the invoice. 

 The testimony shows that the commodity 

 is known as cowpeas or black-eyed peas. 

 The importation was assessed for duty 

 at 45 cents per bushel as beans under 

 paragraph 240, tariff act of 1897. It is 

 claimed by the importers to be dutiable 

 at 30 cents per bushel as peas, dried, 

 not specially provided for, under para- 

 graph 250. The paragraphs involved 

 read as follows: 



240. Beans, 45 cents per bushel of sixty 

 pounds. 



2.';0. Pons, green. In bulk or in barrels, 

 sacks, or himllar packages, and seed peas, 40 

 cents per bushel of sixty pounds; peas, dried, 

 not speclall.v provided for, .SO cents per bushel; 

 split peas, 40 cents per bushel of sixty pounds; 

 peas in cartons, papers, or other small pack- 

 ages, 1 cent per pound. 



"A portion of the importation was 

 submitted to the Secretary of Agricul- 

 ture for identification, and in his report 

 he describes the article in the following 

 language : 



These seeds are cowpeas, Vigna nngnlcnlata, 

 and consist of two varieties, the so-called black- 

 eye and the so-called brown -eye. Botanlcally 

 speaking, cowpena are neither tnie Ijeans nor 

 true peas, though most closely relating to the 

 former. 



The use of cowpeas as a crop Is, however, 

 totally different from that of either the true 

 beans or the true peas. A very large propor- 

 tion of the cowpea crop growing In this country 

 Is for use as hay, though a considerable part 

 is plowed under as green manure. • • • 

 These two varieties, nnmel.r. the black e.ve and 

 the brown eye, are used more or less as human
