and if il proves successful a branch
department. will be permanently es-

for every county in the country. The
scope of the work is practically un-

VALUE OF SOY BEAN
in Importance as For
age Crop in Southern States.
Admirably Adapted to Short Rota'
tions, Taking an Entire Season,
or Part, Following Some Small
Grain Crop-Used as Feed.

The soy bean. also called the sofa
beam" is q native of southeastern
Asia and has been extensively culti-
waited in Japan, China and India since
ancient times. Upward Of two hun
dred varieties are grown in these
countries, practically every district OF
which has It's own distinct varieties.
The beans are there grown almost en-
tirely for human food, being prepared
for consumption in many different
ways. Their flavor, however, does not
commend them to Caucasian appetites
and thus far they have found but
small favor as human food in either
Europe or America.
AS a forage crop, however, soy
beans have become Of increasing i'm
~portauce in parts of"the United States,
especially southwark. They have
been tested at most. of the state agTi-
cultural experiment stations, and 1t Is
clear that their region Of maximum
Importance will be south of the red
clover area and in sections where al
falfa cannot be grown successfully.
They thus compete principally with
cowpeas.
Soy beans are admirably. adapted to
short rations, taking either an entire
season or a part Of a season following
some small.grain crop. In Tennessee
and North Carolina a soy-bean crop
Is often grown between two wheat
crops, and in other parts Of the
south between oat crops. In such
cases, however, an early variety like
the Ito San or the Haberlandt is pref
cradle.
Where a whole season Is devoted to
soy beans two crops Of the earlier va
rieties can be matured in all parts of
the cotton belt, and this Is in many
cases preferable TO growing a single
crop of a late variety. Where, the
whole season is thus devoted to soy
beans. they may take any place In a
rotation system where corr can be
used.
The consensus of opinion among
farmers is that a crop Of soy beans
benefits the succeeding crop, but not
to so great a degree as n of cow
peas. More accurate data on this
point are needed.
Regarding the fertilizer require
ments of soy beans there are but few
data available. Where fertilizers are
used, the general practise Is to use
acid phosphate at the rate Of 200 to
coo pounds per acre and muriate Of
potash at the rate Of so pounds per
rcre.
The feeding value OF any forage
crop and for any particular purpose
can be determined only by actual feed
Ing experiments. There are. Of course,
definite relations between the digesti-
BILE constituents Of a feed and the re-
EultaEt gains in flesh or milk. These

are to be great indeed If all that Is promised of the Rockefeller Foundation
shall be carried out
Those who have come closely in contact with young Mr. Rockefeller say
he has a serious mind and probably would have entered the ministry had
he not been destined for great business affairs as the only sol of the oil
magnat. Born and bred in Cleveland, he was trained in early life, like all
the Rockefeller children. to simple living and industry He ws prepared for
college by private tutors and sent to Brown university with the intention,
1t is said. of keeping him from the temptations Of larger and more fash
fonabie institutions OF learning. Brown university, Of course, has Baptist
antecedents and Affiliations, and all the Rocknelers are of that denomina.
ton. AS a student Mr.. Rockefeller mingled freely with his fellow students.
though he was not given to social pleasures.
October l., 1901, Mr.. Rockefeller married Abby Green Aldrich. daughter
of Senator Nelson W. A1drich of Rhode Island. The marriage, which took
place in Providence. was q great society event, and was attended by 1000
guests. The lifts were valued at 100000. Three children have been born
to Mr.. and Mrs. Rockefeller.
Gradually the younger Rockefeller. has been reinquishing his RESPONSE
binies as a. director In large corporations. AS a Sunday school teacher Mr..
rockefeller has been an uthrer of many precepts for the guidance of mis-
fellow young men,: Fe has advised against living beyond ones means.
against borrowing money on friendship against drinking anything intoxicat.
ing, against sinking humble work, against discomfort because Of poverty.
against 5sourfacedness, against tinidity and several other things that have
been the subjects of plattudest and homiies since religion began to be
associated. with morals.
There is nothing original in his remarks. though they undoubtedly arc
the outpourings of a sincere. If conventional mind. His Sunday school class
naturally. has been filed with young men eager to learn the way to success.
