alone. cut it out Of the ration for two

balance up the ration. You might mix

of cotton seed meal, $50 pounds of oats
and 900 pounds of corn and cob meal.
About 10 pounds per day of this mix

1t is probable that the statement TO
which you refer was made with reference
to planting soy beans under field condi-
tions, and not with reference to planting
them in corn. Where soy beans are
planted in corn it would, as a rule, be
desirable to plant only one row between
each two rows of corn. For instance, IL
your corn is planted from 4 1-2 to feet
apart in the row, then row of soy beans
may be planted in the center of this
space The beans grow quite differently
from the cowpea. being bushy and scrub
like in their development, whereas. the
cowpeas spread out and run across the
ground If you want to plant soy beans
by themselves it is best to put them in
rows is to "a inches; we prefer the latter
distance Then, they may be cultivated
two or three times or until they develop
and spread across the rows. The cultiva-
ton will conserve moisture anc the
growth will! therefore be more rapid. AS
a rule we would prefer to seed soy beans
so as to drop them along in the drill row
about Is to Is inches apart. 1t would be
laborious TO seem them in drills, but If
this practice were followed, we would
not put more than two beans per hill,
and would lay off the rows "a inches apart
and make the hills at least two feet
apart The soy bean, owing TO its rich
ness in protein or muscle-building food
and to the excellent yield of grain which
it will make, if given proper care anu
management, is a crop we'll worth plant
ing on every farm, and can be used with
advantage as a grazing crop for hogs.

COMBATING RUST IN COTTON.

We would suggest for land such as you
describe, and for as gross a feeding crop
as corn that you use at least 500 POUNDS
of 4-10-4 fertilizer. If the nitrogen con-
tanned in the fertilizer is in a slow-acting
form, you may apply the whole amount
before seeding the corn. If you desire
to use a considerable amount of nitrate
of soda in making up your fertilizer, it
would be best to use an organic source
of nitrogen in your formula, which you
may obtain from tankage, blood or cot
ton seed meal. or a combination of all
of them, and use the nitrate as a top
dressing. One hundred pounds of nitrate
may ne used in fertilizer with safety,
while 200 pounds is the extreme limit
which should be put into the soil. Nj
trate nitrogen is probably as cheap a
form this year as you can secure, and
there is danger that too much will be
used. A fertilizer such has been sug-
gested may be purchased or mixed,
whichever you find the most economical
practice to follow. OF course, land will
always give a better return for the fer
tilizer applied when it contains a fair
amount of vegetable matter.
For the ground peas we would suggest
that you use a 1913 or a 1914 mixture at
the rate of 800 pounds per acre at the
time of planting. These materials are
not readily leached from the soil, and,
moreover, the pindar being a legCT e
gathers its nitrogen from the air under
ordinary conditions. but requires to be
