Effects Of Climate on Legumes

Prof. c. d. Smith, of the Michigan
Agricultural College and Station. writes
to the Rural New Yorker that there
the soy beans are beating the COW peas
coast lands of Eastern North Carolina
sCme of the growers are finding that the
velvet bean IS getting accNmated and
they prefer 1t to the COW peas, as they
say 1t makes a heavier crop and is also
easier to cure into hay. Perhaps the
COW peas that Prof. Smith is growing
came from too far South and haze not
yet gotten accimated. 1t IS very inn
portant thing to get seed cf tender
things that have been grown as far
North as possible for planting in the
NCrth. 1t may yet be found as we have
more than once suggested that for t:!e
conditions in the Northern ana North
Middle States the soy bean may be
found the best of all protein crops for
the farmer to use IN the balancing Of his
ratlonS. AT any rate, It behOoves the
farmer in every section TO experiment
for himself. 1t viii certainly be a great
advance if the velvet bean can be made
d success in the warmer parts OF North
Carolina and this being stef, further
north, they may eventually be induced
to mature seed still further north With
its magnificent growth the velvet bean Is
we'll worth experimenting with IN the
warmer parts of the South and when
once the seed can be ripened in any To-
cality its success there is assured.

dr;t" on the soil for humus (decayed vege-
table matter), which is already general ly
deficient in this necessary element.
The soil should be well prepared. Then
lay off into drills about three feet apart.
Thet apply in the drills from 400 tie eon
pounds per acre of a fertilizer containing
per cent nitrogen, ) per cent actual pot
ash, and Z per cent available phosphoric
acid
IN lieu of the above, the following ma
tc1als may be mixed and used: Fifty to
Seventy-fvc pounds nitrate of soda, 40 to
60 pounds muriate Of potash, and 323 to
4S6 pounds acid phosphate From 100 to
240 pounds Of kanlt may be used IN lieu
on the drills, open and SOW the turnip-
should be well mixed with the soil, pre-
feIably a few weeks before seeding but if
there be not a sufficiency of time a few
days will answer Construct low ridges

The fiat rooted purple top varieties make
the quickest growth, but the globe va
rieties root deeper and, where they are to
remain in the ground all winter, are gen
orally preferred. But for winter purposes,
it is usually best to properly store all
varieties
Ruta bagaS are more nutritious and ale
consequently better for stock purposes. Il
rain fall soon after seeding. rake should
be passed lengthwise the drills.
Soon after the plants appear, cultiva
ton should be commenced and repeated
several times at short intervals. An or
dnary hand plow is good, and even man
power one to hold the plow another 20
rull, is better than tramping the ground
with a horse. When the plants attain
three leaves, thin to single plants, six to
eight inches apart.
Turnips cooked BIZ steaming or boiling.
with a proper quantity of corn meal (pea
meal or bran would be better) and salt
added. make an excellent food for start
ing hogs in early fall. The addition Of salt
appears; to partially, if not wholly, remove
he usual objections against cooking food
Turnips cooked above, are also excel
lent for mlch COWS. Cooking Will pre-
vent the taint of milk, incident to feeding
raw turnlps.

When practical, a clover or cow-pea sod
should precede turnips. Said crops. when
seeded should be literally fertilized with
potash and phOsphoric acid, thus insurlng
rank growth. At maturity the entire
crop should be turned down and 50 re.
main until it decomposes Turning the
roots and stubble of the clover or COW
peas. as the case may be, will not answer;
they contain only about one-fifth Of the
nutrient properties of the plants and con
sequently, where the Improvement OF tho
soil Is the object sought, they fall short Of
the mark.
The preparation of the soil should be
commenced year or more IN advance,
The work would not then be crowded; /;
everything would come IN at the proper
time. The clover or coW-peas could be
turned down after the first frost and 50
remain until early spring The ground
could then be planted TO onions pota-
toes; either crop would come off in ample
time for turnips to follow.
The New Jersey Experiment Station
claims that acre of crimson clover will
contain $50 worth Of nitrogen. This nj,
trogen IS drawn from the air, being VIZ
tualy grown, and is, therefore clear
gam. If we place the nitrogen, that can
be practically drawn from the air by an
acre OF clover or coW-peas. at only $15-
this quantity viii prove more than ample
for the two succeeding crops, without any
direct application whatever. An ordinary
dose of potash and phosphoric acid may
well precede the seeding of the tulnips
If potatoes follow the legume crop, they
should be dug soon after maturity and the
tops permitted to cure about a week. Then
construct deep burrows a suitable distance
apart for the drills, say, three feet, place
the potato tops therein and ridge thereon.
Then open the ridges and drill the turnip
seed In the usual way
| have often urged farmers to try at
least their truck patches on the above
plan. From two to three times the usual
yield could easily be grown and the soil
wculd also grow richer and richer.
/ But as a year or more Is necessary for
Tie above preparation, only a few farmers,
comparatively speaking, are in shape to
test the plan at the approaching seeding.

motive is to sell the crop as fast as labor
can be employed to harvest it. 1t seems
to make no difference with the avera gc
farmer whether the price is going up Or
down. the great consideration is to sell,
sell, no matter what the price.
FORCED TO SELL.
The one principal argument advanced
in support Of the custom resulting each
year in putting as enormous oversupply
Of the crop on the market within so short
a period Of time and which always. car
ries the market to the lowest level OF
prices is that producers are forced to sell
to meet maturing obligations. | grant
that there is much truth in this conten-
ton but any system OF business which
forces the producers to dump their ent re
crop on the market in three months which
takes the mills twelve months to consume
is bad business and should be abandoned.
Such q system IS rulnOus to the producers
of cotton and places them absolutely IN
the power and at the mercy of gamblers
who speculate in the staple, and of buy
ers who represent the spinning interests
of the business. Now there are two meth
DDS Of breaking up present bad syS-
TEN and getting the marketing of the
cotton crop down on sound business prin-
ciples
The first and the one most easy of so
luton. is to have our obligations made
with merchants and bankers fall due at
different dates in the year instead OF max
ing all notes and accounts due IN October
and November. The main reason why
merchants insist upon payments in Octc-
Der and November IS that they want the

In connection with the subject which
heads this article l want to make the
following query OF, our subscribers:
How many farmers read and study the
daily market reports as published III their
paper the year round? and how many
who watch the market reports even during
the short present selling season of the
crop?"
This is an important injury because it
has TO do with the business end Of our
great money staple. Comparatively but
few farmers could answer affrmatlvely
the questions asked, because 1t Is a no
torous fact that the most Of our people
are absolutely in the dark as to market
values and conditions when they place
their products at the bidding OF the buy
erS.
Can apv man who will sit down and
seriously consider this matter 1all TO APP
nreciate the high Importance of injecting
a little more thought and action IN the
sales of our products? How easy 1T IS 70
take advantage of the producer when he
refuses to post himself not only as to TIC
irue value of his product but as to tie
legitimate demand for that product by TIC
manufacturers and consumers of the cOun-
try.
If we would undertake to care ully STUDY
the market reports, keep up with the vol
ume Of business done, note the conailloii7
of the mills nd endeavor to regulate the
sunDIv of cotton to meet the needed re-
ouirements of the mills. our crop would

Farmers Should Watch the Cotton Market.

This system would also break UP the
enormous sales and purchases by specu-
lators for October and November dclly-
cries. We would not have the daily rc-
ports indicating q falling market because
of heavy receipts The supply would be
gin to limit itself to legitimate demand
while October and November teaI-
would have to seek another kind OF outlet
It Is a notorious fact that the comOna
ton of bears" who drive down prices IN
the fall go over to the bull element

thing has happened with the last crop and

IN March and the per cent added on goods
sold on time is usually twice the interest
charged BY banks for a loan for twelve
months. In other words, s100 worth Of

would not be charged to account for less
than 1925 and often times more than that-
Hence it may be taken for granted tliaI

the balance the 1st day Of April. THIS
would enable us to sell one-third OF the
crop in the early fall one-third IN Jan
uary and the balance in the spring and at
such times within that period as the mar
l[et appeared to be advantageous. The
merchants could easily arrange their buSl-
ness to carry into effect such system and
the market would not be so terribly de-
