SOY BEANS FORAGE
Crop Admirably Adapted to Cot

The soy bean is a native OF Soutl-
eastern Asia and has been extensively
cultivated in Japan. China II lhc'a

varieties are grown in these countries
practically every district of which mas
its W distinct varieties.
The beans are there grown amos
entirely for human food, beng pre-
pared for consumption in many ulle''
emf WAYS. Their flavor, however, do'a
not commend them to Caucasian appe-
tites and thus far they have found II
small favor as human food IN e1'lel
Europe or America.
AS a forage crop, however, soy
beans have become of increasing I'M
portance in parts of the United STATES
especially southwark. They nave pee'
tested at most of the state agrlcultu-
raj experiment stations and 1t IS cleal
that their region of maximum lmpor'
lance will be south Of the red clover
area and in sections where alfaila
cannot be grown successfully. 1hey
thus compete principally with co"
meas. but as cultivation is usually re-
CURED they fill a somewhat dlt1ereh'

greatly increased in recent years rs

BUCKWHEAT BEST GRAlNCR0P
Makes an Excellent Foraeing Crop tor
PouItry-Chickens and Turkeys
Delight in 1t.
(By A. J. G

10y n. J. IC1O'
BuckWheat is the best grain crop
that we have ever tried to furnlsn d
.foraging ground for poultry.
SOW 1t late in July and allow the
chickens and turkeys to harvest IL.
They are all the better for the exercise
and the only cost is for the seed ana
work of preparing the soil and SOW
ing 1t.
Late in last July l sowed about n
acre where the chickens and turkeys
could have free access. they Degah
to work on it as soon as the grains
were filled and have been at work OH
It for nearly two months.
If it is trampled down on the ground
the grains will not damage unless 1t IS
warm enough to sprout them BUCK
wheat will lie on the ground all VIII
ter and grow in the spring.
A buckwheat stubble makes an ex-
cellent feeding ground for poultry dur
ing pleasant days throughout the IAN
and winter season and the poultry en-
ioy the exercise.
Our hens, pullets and September
, hatched chickens are all in fine condl-
tion, largely due to the buckwheat TO
which they have free access.
The plan Of allowing them to mar,
vect tho huckwheat saves trouble OF
feeding and it also teaches them to de'
pend upon their own efforts to obtain
their food. Buckwhcat whole gram
has a nutritive ratio Of 1 to Z, when
can be reduced by furnishing some con:
centrated food.

Farther south, where the later ana
larger varieties can be grown, the
Weld is sufficient to make their extern

orally speaking, the soy bean requires
ahont the same temperature as corn.
It is perhaps ven better adapted 10 a
warm climate and does not do we'll IN
q cool climate.
The soil requirements of soy beans
arc much the same as those OF corn.
They will make a satisfactory growth
on poorer soil than corn, but will not
make nearly as good a growth on poor
soil as cowpeas. Soy beans make
their best development on fairly fer
tile loans or clays. The Mammoth
variety also succeeds we'll on sandy
soils On rich soils all varieties are
ant to make a large plant growth and
q comparatively small yield of seed
and on the poorer soils a small plant
growth with a relatively large seed
yield. =,
Sow beans do not require a well
drained soil for their best develop
ment, although they will not grow II
a soil where water stands for any con
siderable length of time. However
they are able to withstand a create
amount of moisture than either cor
or cowpeas. In eastern North Care
