The binder will get most of the beans

Cow peas are also good for hog

Dean Division Agriculture, Iowa State
College.
The farmers of Iowa will do well to
give special attention to the impor-
lance Of live stock as permanent
feature of successful agriculture The
old Scotch maxim, Market the prod
ucts of the farm on foot rather than
in the bag" cannot be ignored without
sooner or later paying the penalty of
declining fertility. 1t is contended by
some that soil fertility can be main
tanned without live stock. This may
even look plausible in theory, but we
hive no record of any considerable
area where a productive soil has been
maintained without live stock. 1t is
not likely that the Mississippi valley
will prove an exception to the rule.
We have depleted our soil too long al
ready by exporting grain and the by
products Of our mills. All of these
by-products and a much larger share
of the grain ought to be converted
into meat and dairy products on the
farms of the United States, instead of
going to enrich the farms of foreign
countries to the detriment of our
own.
1t is a well established fact that the
farms that fatten live stock are farms
of fattening land. The soil needs feed
ing as well as the animals. Iowa
farm lands do not need commercial
fertilizer. but they do need more
grass and more barn yard manure. A

| system Of farming that affords moro
grass and more barn yard manure is
one that will return a larger output
of grain from smaller areas of tillable
land. 1t is a system that will sus.
tain the productive capacity OF the
soil. 1t is a system that conserves the
greatest of all natural resources-soil
fertility.
There Is seldom a time when the
crops Of the farm cannot be fed to
good farm animals, when properly han
died, at greater profit than to haul
them to the elevators. In many in
stances the returns are from SO to 100
per cent greater than from selling
grain Sometimes they are lower. but
the immediate returns are not the
only consideration. We have come to
period when all the products of the
farm must be utilized. The corn fod.
der and the straw must not be wasted.
They must be largely used on the
farm. To build silos and increase the
amount of live stock will afford way
OF utilizing these products that will
enlarge the output of the farm and
add to its fertility and productive

to have more grain to sell and more
