Soy Beans

COY BEANS are well adapted to the
- soil and climate conditions of a
large section of the United States,
the crop being an important one in
many parts Of the country.
Well-cured SOY bean hay is equal to
alfalfa hay in palatability and feeding
value. For brief period soy beans
make an excellent pasture, especially
desirable for hogs, Soy beans may be
used satisfactorily for soiling and en-
silage.
The seeds of soy beans contain as
much protein as linseed meal, and al
most as much as cottonseed meal. Feed
inig trials indicate that soy bean grain
in large measure may take the place
of concentrated feeds for all classes of
stock.
Soy beans yield from 90 to 80 bush
els of seed per acre, and from 2 to A
tons of hay.
The growing of soy beans improves
the soil by increasing its store OF nj
trogen and by correcting its physical
condition. Where red clover fails, or is
not adapted, soy beans may be substi-
Mted. The crimson clover crop may
be followed the same season by soy
beans, thus producing two forage crops
in one year on the same land.
On account of their rapid growth, soy
beans are admirably adapted for catch
crop after wheat, early potatoes or other
early maturing crops. Soy beans have
a wider use than COW peas, are richer
feed, are more easily cured for hay or
harvested for seed. Soy beanJ have
yielded decidedly more seed than COW
peas. Soy bean varieties range in ma.
turity from 70 to 14O days.

Movies for Farmer

NEOVlNG PICTURES are being used
MI to instruct farmers throughout
the United States in progressive
methods of agriculture. They are being
presented together with explanatory
lectures, by officials of the Department
of Agriculture. At the same time pri-
vate lecturers in the employ of motion
picture companies, but working with the
approval and cooperation of the de-
partment, are talking to farmers north,
south, east and west, and with the aid
of pictures are also showing them just
how to obtain the best results. 1t is be-
lieved that this new method of demon
stration will be vastly more effective
than the old plan of distributing print
ed bulletins conveying the same infor-
nation.
The Importance to the country at
large of this new work of the Depart
ment of Agriculture must appeal to the
imagination of everyone. The scope of
what the department may be able to
accomplish in the way of providing sub
lects for the moving picture plan of
education is almost unlimited. Not only
does the department itself demonstrate
by direct appeal to the eye what i'm
provements are possible to agricultur-
lists and stockmon, but it broadens its
field by aiding private moving picture
concern to present its films for the
benefit of the public in cities and
towns, as well as in rural districts. Edu-
cational institutions such as agricul-
tural colleges, universities and pub
lie schools are to be provided with
films.
At present the Bureau of Animal In
dustry Of the Department of Agricul-
ture is using six moving picture films
in conenction with the lectures of its
demonstrators and field workers, who
travel from place to place instructing
producers in the best and most pro-
gressive methods of raising stock and
preventing cattle disease. Proper
methods of dairying and the shipping
of milk and other cattle products are
also becluded in this educational move
meni.

THE Department of Agriculture

HE department of Agriculture
hands down an opinion that the
numerical count of apples or pears
in boxes is insufficient to insure knowl-
edge of the contents.
Under the Federal Food and Drugs
Acts as amended March 3, 1913, and
with regulations of Food Inspector De
cision l54, the contents of fruit box
must be given in quantity on outside
of box. In section s, paragraph 3. un-
der Food" as amended by act of
March 3, 1918, clause A reads Eek
cept as otherwise provided by the regu-
lation, the quantity Of contents in all
cases of food, if terms of weight, meas
ure of numerical count, on the outside
OF the covering of container usually de-
livered to consumer. And in (B)
"The quantity of the contents so
marked shall be the amount of food in
the package" And in (C) "The guam
tity Of contents shall be so stated in
terms of weight or measure unless the
package be marked with numerical
count giving accurate information as to
the quantity of the food in the pack
age Clause (H) states that the guam
tity must be given in minimum of
weight, measure or count, for example,
"minimum weight 100 or. y "The
statement must approximate the actual
quantity and there shall be no toler-
ance below the stated minimum. -
When the provision was rendered it
was believed by the grower and expert
shippers and by the dealers themselves
the counting numerically would be suf-
ficient to achieve the protection at
which this bill was aimed. and at the
same time not place a serious obstacle
in the way of grower and shipper
Out Of Clear Sky.
Out Of clear sky comes the an
nouncement from one of the acting
tecretaries of the Department of Agri-
culture, as evidence If the interpreta
ton of that department Of the provi
sion in respect to fruit, that "a state
ment of the number of :pples or pears
contained in box is not a satisfac
tory compliance of the Federal Food
and Drugs Act as amended by the
act of March 3. 1918. or with the regu-
lation 90 as amended by Food lnspec
tor Decisions 154, inasmuch as it does
not give accurate information as to the
quantity of food in the package. That
there is nothing in such statement to
indicate whether the apples are small
or large, and nothing that indicates
the capacity of the box.

POTATOES IN POTS.

To secure an early supply of new po-
tatoes next season plant the tubers of
any good early variety in pots and
start them in the house. -Four or five
inch pots can be used, filled only about
two thirds full of soil, leaving room for
a top dressing of soil to be supplied as
the plants grow, after the manner Of
hilling up potatoes when grown in the
garden. One potato is sufficient for
each pot.
Time the planting so the plants will
be well started in the pots when they
are to be transplanted in the garden at
the time the tubers are usually planted
outdoors.
If there is well ventilated, cool
light place, such as cold frame OK
cool greenhouse, in which to grow them
potatoes can be raised in pots and full
sized tubers developed very much ear.

den.
Ten inch pots will be sufficiently
large. Rub off all the eyes except the
strongest for pot culture.

Comparatively few varieties of soy
for both hay and seed production, the
Wilson and Peking are recommended
for the full season; for a shorter season,
the Ito San and Ebony are well suited.
For green manuring or sowing in corn at
the last cultivation, the Mammoth Yel-
low is valuable.
Soil for soy beans should receive as
thorough preparation as land for corn,
Soy beans do well on sod A mixture
of 400 pounds of acid phosphate and 100
pounds of muriato of potash applied at
the rate of 250 to 100 pounds per acre
is recommended.

Childrens' Savings

n NY CHILD can have a thousand
~ dollars saved up by the day he is
twenty-one if his parents or Others
will loan him a piece of land fifty feet
square and if his school and community
can furnish him the right kind of in
struction, guidance and encouragement
in making the most of the land.
This is the declaration of DR.. Hodge,
professor of Social Biology in the Uni
versity Of Oregon, who was one of the
' first men in the United States to work
out the school garden system. This he
did in Worcester, Mass, where he was
the head of department in Clark

General profits from a garden, of
course, can not run anything like this,
though sometimes wonderful profits can
be made by the discovery of some little
special crop to meet special demand
in location of normal scarcity. A boy
or girl might, for instance, pretty near
ly control supply of some such thing
as mint, or water cress, in a district
where they were not common. Seeds
and high bred poultry are other posi-
bilities for a small plot of land.

able to get quality prices. She showed
me one strawberry 81 inches in circum-
ference, weighing three ounces, almost
big enough to slice up like a tomato.

practical fruit man in every respect,
has already started the ball rolling to
find the exact status of the situation,
and if possible a remedy for the hard
ship, which he says will undoubtedly
be worked by measure SO radical.
"The fruit growing interests of the
country are wholly unprepared to com
ply with such conditions" said Mr..
Bateham "The requirement, an
nounced as it now is, just as the crop
is ready to move, will cause tremen-
dous hardship on fruit growers and in
evtably result in wide confusion.'' -
To Try to Change.
Mr.. Bateman proposes to reach the
secretary Of the Department of Agri-
culture and endeavor to induce him to
act in accordance with the reasonable
expectations of the fruit interests A
great many fruit men passed opinion
on this measure and assumed that its
intentions were perfectly plain, consid
cring it settled that the numerical
count would be sufficient. The same
view was entertained by all the inter
ests working for the standard apple
box bill, also, or undoubtedly they
would have taken it into consideration
Mr. Bateham is of the opinion thai
a relief would be experienced if thu
position were modified to the extent o.
allowing the numerical count in appl,
boxes not smaller than the standar,
Raker, or l0lxll4xls inches insid,
measurements. But as it seems to stant
at this time, something must start o.
something else will stop "The atti
tude, as taken by the Government OF
this subject, is wholly unwarranted, ,
said Mr.. Bateham In all my expert
ence as grower and shipper | have
never heard buyer complain of being
deceived as to quantity
Supplcmenting the above the. Ex

better than anyone else, just what th'

HINTS ON BUTTER MAKING.

. EST BRAND of butter can be made
- on the farm, where the control of
all conditions is under one man.
and he can understand butter making
The poorest butter can be made from
good cream if the butter maker does
not understand the underlying princi-
pies of the art.
The causes of foaming are: Sweet
cream, churn too full and insufficient
agitation.
Hard churning may be caused by
foaming, thin creall, or cream too cold
cream from cows far advanced in lac
tation, and when cows are fed only dry
feeds.
Cream should always be strained into
the churn so there will not be white
curd particles in the butter.
Stop chur-ing when the granules are
about the size of wheat.
Wash out the buttermilk instead Of
trying to work it out.
Notifies are caused by an uneven dis
tribution Of salt or the presence OF
curd. They can be prevented by wash
ing out the buttermilk thoroughly and
working the salt in better.

The above methods can be adapted to conditions in other sections of the country by chang ing the date os planting for north ern or southern latitude. The writer points out that in his sec tion earlier potatoes can qe secur. ed by planting in February start off and begin to grow, if covered with two good furrows, although the winter is cold. There the ground freezes down to t h e manure. Although too cold for young potatoes to come up, the pieces sprout and roots and young potatoes begin to form quickly. Try small patch under this method and compare results with your old way of raising potatoes.
