half to the acre and I got two tons of hay and the land was farmed 

 to death. People told me I_^.could not raise anything on it, and I 

 got two tons of cow pea hay off of it. 



Mr. Grube : — Just one thing and that was I used a planter 

 with two sets of boxes. 



Mr. Lindley : — I have ordered one. 



Mr. Stoker : — I am going to check the corn and plant the 

 peas and put the rows east and west; plant corn and drill peas 

 right behind. 



Mr. Grube : — That is something I shall have some other man 

 do before I do. No one can drive the team over the same line 

 straight enough so as not to interfere with the cultivation of the 

 corn. 



Mr. Stoker: — If a man can't drive any better than that he 

 better go to agricultural school and learn to drive. 



Q : — Those peas which he planted in his corn I am satisfied 

 many and many of them were 16 feet high and I never saw the 

 like and the corn was 10 feet high. 



Mr. Lindley : — And the half has not yet been told. 



Mr. Brunson : — I saw some corn that was raised on Sea- 

 man's land out east of here in which the corn was planted and 

 cultivated with the peas at once, and then run the planter right 

 along as close as could be and put the cow peas in there and the 

 cow peas run above the corn. I understand where they had been 

 putting in both cow peas and corn in the same box, it was pretty 

 hard to keep them divided up ; where drilled along the side of the 

 road it did not interfere with the corn and the corn will start 

 first. I followed up and saw where peas and corn with wheat 

 plowed under and corn planted, cinch bugs ate the corn. But 

 where no corn they stayed on the ground. I am going to plant 

 sweet corn very thick and cultivate it once and then drill cow 

 peas right side of it to hold the cow peas up. That is what is 

 needed, something to hold the cow peas off the ground. 



By the President : — Is there anything further to come before 

 this convention? 



Mr. Lindlev : — In behalf of the dairvmen and the citizens of
