.B|G VALUE IF SOY BEAN ID FARMER How Alabamians Can Profit
 by Them MUST, STUDY HIS SOIL Bean Excellent for Hogs and Stalk Makes One of Best Hay
 Crops the Farmer
 Can Grow
ey WALTER HARPER

Washington. October 6.-(Special)-I intelligent farmer of Alabama is looking for the best crops to rotate with his cot ton. corn and those other crops that may be classed as staple. There is long list of products that may be grown prontaniy in the south, and it is sometimes hard TOT the grower who has been used to planting pothinp but cotton with sometimes lit lie corn to decide what are the best things to adopt.
 He does not want, and maybe cannot afford. 10 lose q year or perhaps more time experimenting. He wants crops that will not only bring ready profit, but that will sustain If not improve the producing qualities of hls soil.
 In 6. general way he knows that legumes increase the fertility of the soil while growing a crop of hay or other product or va,,le. But there are scores of legumes. He is often undecided as to which is the best to adopt for his particular soils, cli- ratic conditions and personal needs
 The first thing that the farmer should determine if possible is the character or his soil. If his land has never been sur veved by the soil experts little study of soil types and conditions will enable him to characterize his soil for immedl- ate practical purposes. Then little fur ther study will enable him to judge of the needs and requirements of his soil. Then the experience of others with similar soils and conditions will give him very clear idea of what crops he may safely plant.
 All this information and more is of- fered every citizen of the United States through the good offices of the Inteo States agricultural department, and It costs nothing but little study.

Soy bean grain is more valuable than cotton seed meal as supplemental feed in the production of pork. mutton. wool
 beef milk and butter. A bushel of soy
 beans is at least twice as valuable for
 feed as 8 bushel of corn. From 20 to 20
 bushels of grain and from one and one
 half of two tons of straw per acre is not
 ur common. This should be the average in Alabama
 Care should he taken in the selection of the seed. 1t is not entirely safe to de- uend upon the open dealer for seed un- less tests are made for germination.

For intensive farming the soy bean is the best annual legume to grow for forage in the cotton belt and into the southern mart of the corn belt. Whether used as hae. grain. straw or ensilage 1t is very va tuable as feed for live stock.
 Soy bean hay is practically identical in fc eding value with alfalfa. and yields flcin two to three tons per acre.

In the east the soy bean is grown almost exclusively for human food. but Caucas- sians do not as a rule like the taste, and the plant and bean is grown here Tor stock feed. The bean is excellent for hogs and the stalk makes one of the best hay crops that can be grown on the average soils Of the south
 The soy bean. combined with the COW pea, makes a very fine quality of hay, and this crop can be grown on any soil that will grow cotton or corn. The soy bean is finely adapted to the soil and climate of Alabama and that tier of states that produce cotton It will also grow as far north as Kentucky and southern H. linois, but does not do so well this far north as in the lower latitude. The soy bean is especially recommended for planting in the medium worn out soils of the south for the reason that it not only gives a good return in hay, but improves the soil

In the practical field work of the agri- cultural department there is no politics or sectional feeling. Every citizen of the country who wants information can get 1t frely and no questions are asked. 1 have discovered it to be fact that more attention is being given to the south just new in the agricultural department than +o any other section of the country. And tlis is not alone for the reason that the south may be considered more In need or agricultural enlightenment. It is because the people of the south are responding more readily to the work that is onered by the department.

 Some of the more progressive planters in middle and south Alabama have learned the value of soy beans and are growing them with marked success.
 The SOY bean. also called the ''soja bean" is native of Asia, and has been cultivated in Japan, China and India since ancient times More than 200 varities are known. though only about seven have been introduced in the United States.
