This moving machine, thresher and
hay press made it possible to utilize
the cowpea grown on this farm not
only for feed and seed but also as a
source of considerable revenue. The
moving machine, the thresher and the
hay press will make the cowpea one of
the most profitable crops that can be
grown.
The following is summary Of Far
mers' Bulletin No. 372: Where inten-
sive farming is followed, the soy bean
is the best annual legume to grow for
forage in the southern part of the
cotton belt. The SOY bean whether
used as hay, grain, or ensilage is a
very valuable live stock feed. Soy
bean hay is practically identical in
feeding value with alfalfa and yields
from two TO three tons per acre.
SOy-bean grain is more valuable than
cotton seed meal as a supplementary
feed in the production Of pork, mutton,
wool, beef, milk and butter. a bushel
of soy beans is at least twice as val
liable for feed as bushel of corn.
AS the grain is hard it is usually
desirable to grind it into meal for
feeding. This is best done by mixing
with corn before grinding to prevent
cumming the mill.
A moving machine or a binder can
be used to harvest the soy bean. A
binder can be used only with the tall |
varieties. The threshing can be done |
with grain thresher by using blank |
concaves and running the cylinder |
much lower than for small grain. |
The growing Of SOY beans after oats
and on other land and the use of NOW
ing machines, threshers, and hay
presses means rich land, fat stock, and
more prosperous times.
The fact that Spanish peanuts will
produce good crops on comparatively
poor land when well fertiliZed and
should encourage us to grow
them as a substitute for large part
Of the corn and hays usually fed to all
kinds Of stock. Professor Duggar at
the Auburn, Ala, station found an
acre of Spanish'peanutson son poorgravelly
and produced 900 pounds of live
weight Of hogs. This was after the
-Ops had been cut with a mower and |
saved for hay. The growing of pea
nuts after oats will add much to the
ertilty of the soil, promote the rails
ng Of good livestock, and add to the
)ank account
Planting cOWpeas and SOY beans in
ows about 30 inches apart saves seed
nd brings greater returns in Yields cf
eed and hay. Theexperiment station
eSults show that the increase in both
eed and hay obtained when the seed
'drilled is more than sufficient TO pay
or the additional expense in drilling
nd cultiyatinE the crop.
Plant the cowpeas. soy beans and
eanuts on the level and cultivate on
ne level with a disk harrow. a spring
both harrow, one or two-horse culti-
ltOr or heel sweep. We can then
1t two or three rows tone time with
If moving machines.
We should grow more oats and other
nall grain crops, and leguminouscrops

# more good livestock; and use more
bor-saving machinery such as now
g machines. hay rakes, tedders,
nders and hay presses.

ROTATION OF CROPS
Reply to a MichiGan Correspondent

Il am growing sugar beets and my
land seems to be decreasing in produc-
tion. What rotation can l use?"
= In some localities it has been found
that beets do best following alfalfa,
corn and small grains. A very good
rotation is as follows: First, wheat:
second year, beets; then clover for two
years, last crop being plowed under;
then potatoes, and the rotation re-
peated. II alfalfa can be grown in
your locality it is a good plan TO in
clude this in the rotation.
In Montana the best rotation for
beet raising is as follows: Wheat,
clover, oats, sugar beets, barley and
peas. In Utah the following rotation
gives good satisfaction: First year.
sugar beets; second year, peas and oats
.or forSge; third year, sugar beets:
ourth year oats, seeded to alfalfa;
fifth year, alfalfa.

Blue stone is the commercial name

Blue stone is the commercial name
for copper sulphate.
The beneficial element in lime is
calcium, and it should be applied on
soils that are acid in nature. On soils
that are not in this condition, lime
will be Of little or no benefit The
acidity of the soil may be determined
by the use of litmus paper, which may
be obtained at almost any drug store.
Press the moist soil around the blue
litmus paper for ten or fifteen minutes.
If the paper is now red or pink in color
it will indicate that your soil is acid.
There are eight or ten different kinds
of commercial lime, but where it is
possible to obtain finely ground lime
stone, this is the most desirable form
to use. 1t supplies the necessary cal
cium, and yet the action Oh the yege-
table matter is not as severe as it is
with other forms of lime.
