VELVET BEAN.

c. B. Waller, Athol, Ky, writes Us
as follows: Can you give me some
information on the velvet bean-thai
is. will it mature in this locality, how
should it he planted and what fertil
izer will give best results ?"
The velvet bean is a trailing legume
the vines growing from ten to fifty
feet long It's great value as a green
manuring and forage plant has been
discovered within the last two years
Experiments at the Alabama, Florida
Louisiana and Mississippi experiment
stations show that for the lower half OF
the Gulf States, the velvet bean is
equal in value to the cowpea and for
some purpose is much better. North
Of latitude 81 degrees, the seed will
seldom mature.
The experience thus far obtained
with this crop would indicate that the
best method of growing velvet beans
is to plant them in every third row Of
the corn field Skip every third row
when planting the corn early in March
The corn must be planted early enough
so that the beans may be planted suf
ficiently early to mature seed and at
the same time not interfere with the
cultivation of the corn.
Plant two or three beans in hills
about three feet apart on the skipped
rows about April 10. The vines will
not interfere with the cultivation of
the corn until it is time to give it the
last working.
The rows on which the velvet beans
are planted should be fertilized with
about 100 pounds per acre of mixture
Of 1900 pounds Of acid phosphate and
500 pounds of kainit
It is seldom advisable to save the
vines for hay. It is a grazing crop

Hay-other Forage Crops VaU

[By J. f. Waggoner, OF I. H. c. Ser
vice Bureaul

Few farmers realize the Importance
Of studying the reports sent out by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
in making their plans for the future
1t seems that the old habits cling to
us, and we year after year SOW or
plant corn, oats, wheat, barley, etc,
without any special concern regarding
what the future price may be as based
upon the supply carried over from the
year before. This method of farming
certainly does not show a practical
application of business principles to
agriculture There are reasons, per.
haps, for this indifference in planning
our farm operations. Farm lands
have been increasing in value very
rapidly, also farm products, and it has
not been necessary for the farmer to
figure so closely as the business man
in order to make profit on his prod
ucts, nevertheless the man who does
meets with the greatest success. Very
few and perhaps no other line of bust
ness could he engaged in successfully
without a careful study Of the COndi-
tions of that business. Just recently,
the writer knew of a case where a coal
dealer had planned to go into business
for himself the first of March, but
after he had resigned his position he
began studying conditions and found
that a coal strike was inevitable. A
strike of this kind, to a man just start
ing in business, would be extremely
disastrous and probably result in fail
urea fate which this man avoided
by studying conditions.
Every farmer should study carefully
the reports, facts and figures sent out
by the U. s Department of Agri-
culture We find in going over the
records that the farm value of S1464|
per ton for hay in 1911 was higher
than has ever occurred before in the
history of the U. S. Department oil
At no other time, ex-
cepting in 1871, did the price any
where near approach the price for
1911 At that time it was $14.SO per
ton on the farm.
Milford chronicle., 1912-09-27

this situation is that the farmer begin
right now to plan for next winter.
These plans should include sowing
some crop for forage. The farmer has
at his disposal the millets, sorghum
cane, cowpeas, field peas, the cereals,
and corn. The most important of
these is corn, which perhaps will pro-
duce a greater yield Of forage per acre
with the least amount Of unusual lab
or. than any of these crops. Most
farmers are not accustomed to hand
ling some Of these crops, but have for
years cut at least a small amount OF
corn fodder and know how to handle
this feed satisfactorily. By cutting
corn there is also the saving Of a great
waste which is usually neglected on
the ordinary farm Thousands of
acres Of cornstalks are left standing
every year which would supply forage
for a large percentage Of our stock.
enabling the farmer to market his
hay at a profit and besides utilize to
a great extent all the products Of his
land. Under ordianry conditions, 81
per cent of the feeding value Of corn
is in the stalk When this is left stand
ing in the field it is practically all lost,
especially if the weather happens to
be severe.
It is the saving and utilizing Of ali
the products of the farm that makes
farming profitable. The writer was
recently in one of the large factories,
and was impressed with the strict
principles of economy which we're
followed. One operation in the manu-
facture of binder is the testing of
the binder head This requires the
use of twine with which most farmers
are familiar The operator is this test
carefully saved every inch Of twine,
which was transferred to another de
partment and utilized for tying ship
ping sacks and for other purposes. I'll
It is necessary for big manufacturing
companies to be so economical in order
to make a profit, it is more important
that the farmer should adopt like
principles which will enable him to
reap greater benefits and more profit |
from his land.
Speculation is what might be termed
dealing in futures, or a business trans
action of a hazardous, uncertain or
unusual nature with the hope of real.
izing unusual profits therefrom The
farmer who plans now to supply forage
in the form of corn fodder, millet, etc,
and prepares to place on the market

indulging ir speculation in the least. |
for governT ent figures combined with
unusual weather conditions show that
there is and will continue to be for
some time to come, a scarcity Of
hay throughout the entire country.
Taking into consideration these con
ditions, it does not seem that the
farmer can make any mistake by plan.
ming to utilize his corn in the form of
fodder for rough forage, and to sell
his marketable hay.
Milford chronicle., 1912-09-27

A careful study of this table will
show that the yield for 1908 exceeded
by several million tons the yield of
any other year for which we have a
record The price at this time was
also unusually low In 1909 the supply
fell off considerably and the price
advanced. The same is true in 1910,
while in 1871 there was a decrease OF
nearly 100000 tons over the year
1910. and the price increased mate
rally. This shows that the price
varies to a marked extend in accord
ance with the supply and demand.
The excess of hay in 1908 was un-
doubtedly instrumental in keeping the
price at a low figure during 1909.
The continued reduction in the pro
duction of ray for the past four years,
combined with the rct that we have
just passed through an unusually long
and severe winter. which to farmers
needs no comment would indicate
that there is an unusual scarcity Of
hay throughout the agricultural dis
tricts A late spring is not condu

farmers have reported the total loss
Of their clover and, in many cases,
Of the alfalfa also Many farmers
have paid as high as S25 per ton for
hay. and in the cities bGled hay has
sold as high as $40. Connecting with
this the fact that due to the nature
OF tame hay, it is practically impos
sible to wilfully influence the huctua
ton of production in one season, il |
seems almost a certainty that hay |
will be high next winter.
The hay crop is different from some
of the other farm products; potatoes

He was in solitude in the smoking
