perience OF this station, however, the
soy bean is not to be recommended
for hay making, being more distinct

is wanted it seems that the COW pea is
much more satisfactory. AS the soy
bean ripens it sheds it's leaves and the
pods turn to a brownish yellow or
light brown color. At this time most
varieties need to be closely watched
and harvested before they are thor.
oughly ripe, lest many of the pods
burst open and scatter their seeds.
Sometimes one can stand in field of
ripe soy beans after the dew has dried
off and hear and see the pods popping
open all around. Some of the varie-
ties tested at this station are particu-
larry given to SCATTERING in this way,
notably the Medium Green, the Very

The soy bean and COW pea can be
successfully grown on quite variety
of soils, from light sands to heavy
clays. Like the common field pea,

soils best adapted to these crops are
deep friable loans. An ideal corn
soil is also ideal for soy beans and
COW peas. They, however, do not re-
quire 80 much soil nitrogen, and II
well supplied with the mineral ele-
ments of plant food, and well inoculat-
ed with their particular bacteria, they
will do well where corn would suffer
seriously from lack of nitrogen.
Being nitrogen CATERERS and soil
improvers, soy beans and COW peas
should precede corn or small grain
crop in rotation. When used in this
way, the soil does not need to be
plowed for wheat. being left in fully
as good physical condition as when In

available plant food.
The preparation of the soil should
be similar to that best suited to corn.
1t should be deeply plowed and the
seed-bed made fine and mellow. A
loose, deep seed-bed is essential to
success. Disking before blowing will
usually pay well on the heavier types
of soil.
Both the soy bean and COW pea are

Experiments at other stations have

conditions we have found planting in

profitable. AS the seed usually costs
two dollars or more per bushel and
drilling for cultivation requires only
one-half bushel per acre, while broad.

bushels, there is saving of at least
two dollars per acre for seed. This

In general, the cultivation or inter-
tillage for soy beans and cow peas
should be similar to that given to
corn. Under good soil and weather
conditions the crops terminate and
grow very rapidly and are soon ready
for the use of a one-horse small shovel
or harrow tooth cultivator, but weed
er or light harrow may often be used
to advantage while the plants are COM
ing up. II the soil becomes crusted
before the plants are up, the use of
weeder or light harrow should never
be neglected. Care must be exercised,
however, to avoid breaking the young
plants when they are coming through
the surface. They are very tender
and brittle, and cultivation at this
stage should be given during the mid.
die of the day when the leaves contain
least moisture. For the subsequent
cultivation an ordinary three-shovel
corn cultivator may be used If the
rows are 80 inches apart. A five or
seven-shovel one-horse garden culti-
vator is good tool to use, and if the
soil is loose the .harrow-tooth .cultiva-
tor does excellent work. The two lat
ter cultiyators may be used alternate-
ly to good advantage. iRidging should
be avoided as much as possible, as the
stems are often short and the pods
borne low down, necessitating close
cutting when harvesting. Cultivation
should be frequent enough to pre-
serve loose soil mulch until the COW

begin to bloom
When desired for hay the soy bean
should be cut when the pods are about

REPORT OF COMMISSIONER
SMITH MAKES STARTLING
REVELATIONS.

Commissioner of Corporations
Smith reports that the Standard Oil
company sells it's products in foreign
lands for less than it sells in America.
He says in his report:
"a very large proportion of the pc
troleum products manufactured in the
United States is exported This is es-
pecially true of Illuminating oil, the
most important product. of which from
SIS to so per cent is sent abroad. The
prices in the United States, particular
ly during recent years, have been very
much higher than the foreign prices,
and the conclusion is irresistible that
the Standard Oil Company has made
the American people pay for the main
tenance of its dominant position in the
foreign trade.
Bio Excess in Price.
1.-The excess of the average price i'll
the United States over the New York
export price in 1899 was 2.9 cents. By
1904 it had increased to ga cents. In
1899 the domestic price stood at 1.9
cents below the Hamburg price. In
1894 it stood at / cent above the Ham
burg price. In 1901 the domestic price
was GA cent below the London price.
During the first seven months of 1905
it was 3.4 cents above the price in Lon
don. From September. 1897, to De-
cember, 1899. the United States price
averaged 34 cents above the New
York export price, while from 1903 to
1905 it averaged 81 cents above it,.
From 1897 to 1899 the domestic price
averaged12 cents below the Hamburg
price, while from 1903 to 1905 it av-
eraged O.4 cent above. From October
1900, to December. 1902, the domestic
price averaged OIL cent above and
to July, 1905, it averaged &c cents
above the London price.
Average Price Shown.
"The figures show a very remark
able excess in the American price of
Illuminating oils above the foreign
prices, particularly during the latter
half of 1904 and the first half of
1895. During the latter half of 1904
the price averaged for the United
States 1913 cents, as cOntrasted with
6.92 cents in Germany, SAP cents in
the United Kingdom and $40 cents in
Denmark. The excess of the domes-
tic price, after allowing l cent for
difference in quality. ranged at that
time from 2.3S cents to 2SS cents
During the first half of 1905 the ex-
traordinary decline in the price in the
United Kingdom increased the eff
fective margin between the domestic
price and the price in that country
