RACK FOR SOY BEANS
Handy Device for Supporting
Crop While Being Cured.
Hay Is Allowed to Wilt and Is Then
Raked Into Windrows and Piled
Over Frames-Space for Air
ls Made In Center.

For hay, soy beans are cut with the
mower, and as soon as wilted raked
into small windrows. They are al
lowed to dry here for short time
and should then be put into small
shocks and allowed to stand until
well cured, says a Kentucky bulletin.
Experience is necessary in curing soy
bean hay, but those who have made
eowpea hay will find less trouble in
curing that of soy beans. A corre-
spondent writes in regard to curing
cowpea hay that he sets posts about
one foot into the ground, nails cross
pieces near the bottom and knocks
the hay over the posts as soon as cut.
The forkfuls Of pea vines are
slipped over the post, which is sharp
ened, a good-sized shock Is made. No
further attention is given until the
hay is cured. He claims that the hay
cured in this way is of extra fine
quality, but does not say how much
time 1t takes to handle the hay in this
manner. 1t would probably not prove
practical on a large scale, but Is
worth trying with small crop.
