SOY BEAN ROOTS SHOWING TUBERCLEs.
far as known, had never before borne
soy beans, not single tubercle was to
be found.
Just why the tubercles should not ap-
pear the first year and should appear
in large numbers the second is not at
present easy to explain, but the fact is
important as offering an explanation
of the disappointment which some
farmers experience with the plant
Planting q second season on the same
land appears to be necessary to get the
soy bean at work as nitrogen fixer
In soils deficient in combined nitrogen
the crop is at first likely to anguish
because Of failure to develop root nod
ules. ~"s~->--sssss-s
The nodules can be grown artifcially
the first season. 1t was demonstrated
in our plots in 1901 that the tubercles
can be grown in great numbers on the
roots Of soy beans by the use of pure
cultures Of the tubercle bacteria.-H.

SOY BEANS.
Why They Sometimes DfsappOfnt
Farmers nj Their First TrinI

Why They Sometimes DisappOfnt
Farmers at Their First Trial.
Soy beans should never be sown
until the soil is thoroughly warm.
They are hot weather plants. Immedi-
ately after planting corn is generally
good time to put the seeds in the
ground. If planted for seed, sow with
grain drill, stopping up the holes so
as to make rows about thirty-two inch
es apart. When grown for hay or soil
lug, they may be drilled like wheat,
using about five pecks of seed to the
acre, but they are vigorous plants. and
even for hay better results will gen.
orally be obtained by giving them
more room. They may be cultivated
with a weeder or one horse cultivator
at the outset Later they cover the
ground and take care of themselves
until ready to cut. The cutting can be
done with a special bean harvester II
the soil is soft enough to permit or
with an ordinary mower. though it
should be remembered that the stems
become tough and hard to cut as the
plant ripens, and on this account it is
we'll not to delay the harvest longer
than is necessary. For hay the plants
may be cut soon after they begin to
blossom; for silage as soon as the pods
are developed and before they are ripe.
If grown for seed, it is we'll to harvest
as soon as the seeds are ripe and be-
fore the pods cry out and begin to
split.
Farmers are liable to make the mis-
take of assuming from first years
experience that the soy bean will not
develop tubercles on their land. In
1900 four varieties were grown in our
forage plots. and all made a fine
growth. But none of the plants devel-
oped nodules. In the spring of 1901
three Of these plots were planted with
seed gathered from them in the fall OF
1900. The fourth plot was some dis
lance away in 1900, and it was decided
to plant seeds obtained from it next
the other three. The plot chosen for
this seed bore in 1900 an imperfect
stand of blue lupines. To my surprise.
the plants in the three plots that had
borne soy beans in 1900 produced tu-
bercles in 1901 in large numbers, while
on those of the third plot, which, so

The ..white Faces" on the Range.

AS a breed the long specialization OF
the Herefords for beef production has
operated to give them less general
distribution than the Shorthorns. but
the strength Of the breed lies in this
very fact. Its value for grazing pur-
poses and for prime beef production
commands attention. The close uni
formity of type is also noteworthy
Though among the first breeds to be
introduced HerefOrds were little known
in the United States until the opening
of the range country. The impetus
which this gave the cattle trade
brought them into prominence, and be-
ginning about the year 1880 rapid
growth has put the white faces second
in point of numbers in this country
and almost supreme on the range.
