After returning 10 the hotel the

Of the window. "Where Is every

'Gone to hunt tn dawg," replied

Soy Beans for Silagc,
'a.f.F'i. .i..s..i.,

Bulletin 80 Of Cornell IN. W
station comes to hand treating of
special tests Of soy beans as a silage
plant when grown with corn. The
seed corn and seed beans were mixed
and sown together in drills, in some
cases, and in others the two were
~alternated in hills, and In still 9TH
ers h beans were planted between
the corn rows at the last blowing.
In all cases the results obtained at
this station were u~nfavorable to the
beans, plats Of corn alone giving
more silage e acre.
But the bulletin contains state
ments from nine farmers in different
portions Of the State, ali claiming to
have found the mixed growth OF corn
and soy beans much more satisfac-
tory than corn alone, some Of the
reasons given being a larger total
yield. a superior quality Of silage, a
better balanced feed, an improve
ment in the fertility and humus con-
tent of the soil, etc.
The author Of the bulletin thinks
the soil used in the station tests was
not favorable to the growth Of the
soy beans nor very favorable to the
production of corn.
Bulletin 313 of the same station
(Cornell) is Of unusual interest. 1t
gives an count Of experiments COW
ering nearly ten years, aiming at the
production Of new and improved va
rieties of timothy hay by repeated
selection and breeding from the best
specimens OF certain types Of this,
one of tho oldest and most extensive
ly grown Of meadow grasses, and the
full attainment of the ends aimed at.
Timothy, sometimes called Herds
grass, was introduced into this coun-
try nearly two hundred years ago and
soon became the standard hay north
Of the Guf States and has remained
so till this day. Twenty years ago
the West Virginia stations establish
ed some improved varieties and sent
seed to the Agricultural Department
for Introduction, t,rv have never
been "l4oly !,a@c minated. This is
the Hnly attempt to @r~oa M timothy
it1 1hi@ station toes NY he worN in
1909.
In this breeding work seed has
been selected in each generation from
plants having the following points
Of excellence: Tall, erect stems hav-
ing no tendency to lodge and thickly
studded with broad leaves extending
well to the top and remaining green
until the seed is ripe enough to har-
vest; a seed-head Of medium length
and size, the plant stooling .abund-
antly and showing resistance to rust.
Encouraging improvements have
been noticeable every year, and seve-
raj strains have now been bred long
enough to fix their type. These new
varieties show an increased yield Of
from one and a half to two and a
half tons per acre over the old type
of timothy hay.
The value Of these new races Of
timothy is placed at nearly 81 per
cent Of ~$250,000, 900. the estimated
value Of the crop Of timothy hay
grown in this country last year. This
would give the Improvements
wrought by these experiments a cash
value of ninety million dollars a year,

WeeQ SeeuS tnSC nave q sou SKIN,
though the gel lninating power Of
such as have hard skins vas bene-
flied by the acid, just as in the case
Of the clover seed.
1t was also found that cotton seed
subjected to the acid bath were de-
Tinted by the acid so that they could
be planted with a corn planter. and
THE treatment also caused them to
terminate more quickly.
Some Sweet Potato Investigations.
Bulletin 165 Of the South Carolina
station reviews sweet potato investi-
cations which have been in progress
at that station for fifteen years, and
covering a wide range, such as soil
preparation, plant propagation, trans
planting, cultivation, harvesting,
storing, keeping, Improvement by
breeding, variety tests for making
starch and alcohol, for canning, for
drying and grinding into meal, for
stock feed, etc.
Results have been satisfactory ex-
cept in two particulars: No very safe
and perfect means Of keeping the po-
tatoes in storage on the farm has
been found and since seed are
rarely produced, no easy method has
been worked out for crossing and
breeding up to a high content Of
starch or sugar.
1t Is found that soils need not be
rich for this crop. Soil that will
produce 20 bushels corn per acre
will make 200 bushels sweet pota-
toes to the acre. 1t was found that
200 bushels sweet potatoes removes
from the soil only $3.50 worth Of
plant food.
This fact makes the sweet potato
one Of the most economical stock
foods the Southern farmer can grow,
wherever the rainfall is sufficient to
render transplanting without ar
tificial watering at planting time
cheap and easy. A 200-bushel crop
OF sweet potatoes is equal to a 65
bushel crop Of corn, and they can be
substituted for cor till January, as
they usually keep very well hat long.
OF the sugary, table varieties, the
Fulleton yellow yam has proved to
be the heaviest in. yield. For stock
feeding, Brazilian and Southern
Queen give finest yields and largest
quantity Of dry matter and are free
from disease. For making starch, a
white-f1eshed variety Is necessary,
and OF these Southern Queen and
Brazilian give the largest yield.

20 the United States alone, as soon
as the seeds Of these seventeen new
races of timothy are generally sub
stituted for the old kind. :.
The people are warned not to APP
ply for any Of these seed for the next
two or three years, as they will not
be supplied, but all will be used to
multiply the stations stock of seed
until a sufficient quantity shall have
been accumulated to make a general
distribution practical.
Five years Of careful tests have
proved that the best time to cut tim
othy is when the seed are just form
ing and the bloom has been shed.
o Long DO Manures Last?
Both commercial fertilizers and
stable manure applied as a top-dress-
ing to a timothy meadow at the Ith-
AGA On. ~ station produced a sat-
isfactory increase in the hay yield
and also in the crop Of corn which
followed the next year, on the same
land. Stable n proved more
desirable than commercial fertilizers.
AS compared with unmanured plats,
those receiving ten n Of stable
manure e acre showed q total
profit Of $72 al acre in the four
years following its application; and
those receiving twenty tons per
acre gave a profit of $104 per acre
| in the four succeeding years. The
most profitable combination Of COM
mercial fertilizers used in compari-
son with the II gave a profit Of
only $6O.85 for the foul years.
The Delaware station has also
been pursuing studies along the same
line with much the same results;
they applying the fertilizers to red
clover plats as well as timothy plats.
They find the disc grain drill a good
implement for distribution Of the
fertilizers, the discs and hoes giving
the crop a beneficial cultivation. On
timothy and other grasses they find
nitrate Of soda the most profitable
fertilizer to use; while on clover a
mixture or ~phosphoric acid and pot
ash gave best results.
