SOY BEANS MAKE VALUABLE
MARYL AND CROP.
Improve the Soil and Yield Hay OF
High Feeding Quality.
N. E. SCHMITZ,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Soy beans make valuable general
crop to grow on the average Maryland
farm since they both benefit the soil
and give hay of high feeding value,
practically equal to alfalfa. They are
well adapted to our climate and to
most of our soils good varieties that
will mature in any section of the State
are found on the market.
The soil should be In the same con-
dition and be prepared in the same
manner for soy beans as for corn, ex-
cept that soy beans may be grown in
poorer soils than those on which corn
can be profitably grown. Soy beans
will not grow in very poor sandy land
Hacking humus as well as cow peas
will. On the other hand, soy beans
are better suited than are COW peas to
the clay soils throughout the State
west of the Eastern Shore and South
ern Maryland. The best soil for them
is a clay loan.
Soy beans may be planted from the
time corn planting is finished until
the middle Of July, depending upon
the location and what the crop Is
grown for. In general, the best time
is from June list to goth. When a crop
of hay is desired, the method Of seed
ing Is the same as with cow peas or
wheat,-by using the drill. The rate
of seeding for hay is about 11s bushels
per acre.
In growing soy beans for seed, they
should be planted in rows "a to SO
inches apart to allow for cultivation as
with corn. For. this about one-third to
one-half bushel of seed per acre is re-
quired. The planting may be done with
a regular corn planter, OF wheat
drill by stopping the proper seed holes.
Few soils in Maryland are naturally
tnoculated for soy beans. When they
are being grown for the first time, in
oculation should be provided for by
securing soil from a field In which soy
beans have been grown and working
into the soil at the rate of three to four
hundred pounds per acre.
The principal advantages Of soy
beans over cow peas are their upright
growth, their high and certain seed
yields, from Is to 35 bushels per acre,
less trouble in curing for hay and bet
ter hay, and uniform maturing Of seed,
which makes harvesting for seed
simple operation. Where a fair
growth has been made, binding with
the wheat binder and shocking the
same as wheat is the simplest and best
way Of harvesting. When well shocked,
the bean may remain in the field all
winter without much injury from the
weather The threshing Is very simple,
an ordinary wheat thresher will do the
work very effectively, when the cylin.
der speed is reduced to 500 or 600
revolutions per minute, but the separa-
tor speed must be maintained at the
normal rate as for wheat

Vote $2,76o For Court Square
Work.

With the hope of removing from Fred
erick the last of its cobble streets. Chair
man Lloyd c. Cutler, of the Board of AL
dermen, City Attorney Edward ]. Smith
and City Engineer E. c. Crum, Monday
morning appeared before the Board OF
County Commissioners and asked the
county to pay the city's part, on the cost
of paving the blocks about the Court
house.
City Attorney Smith was the spokes.
man for the city delegation. He stated
the county owned the streets in question,
to the opposite sides of the street about
the courthouse. He also told of for
mer board of commissioners making the
agreement with the city, which the city
now desires made, but he stated when
the agreements were made the city was
not able to do the work planned.
Mr.. Smith stated fiat Frederick city
now pays about $1,000 annually in road
tax to the county, and of this money 1t
gets no direct return. He stated that
many towns and cities, even Silver
Springs, in Montgomery county, secures
a refund OF road tax. He also explained
that no legal reason existed whereby the
county could not assume the city's por-
ton O; the expense, and stated the last
Legislature had passed law intended to
overcome this.
| City Engineer Crum presented an esti-
mate of the cost of the work. He pro-
vided for a concrete base and over this
| base to have two inch cushion OF some
asphaltum and stone preparation which
IS about as near noiseless as it is possible
to make a street. The cost Of the i'm
hU
Mr.. Crum as follows: Church street,
$Ioo3 I3; Council and Record streets,
| $IS75; Court street, S44o o3; sewer,
| S22S.e3. To:al, $3,347.59. OF this amount
| the city asks the county to pay three
fourths of the cost of the paving and one
fourth of the cost OF the sewer.
Under existing franchises the city can
compel the county to pay one-fourth the
cost, the property owners on the other
side of the street one-fourth, and city
would have other half to pay for, Mr..
Smith pointed out that the city would
| then pave the spurs on Record street and
Court street, left unpaid. and would pave
Second street from Market to Court
street. DIR. ! Aliene Williamson, res
ident OF Record street. was present and
asked that the paving be done. The
total estimated cost of all paving planned
is $9o45. IS.
The County Commissioners did not
seem impressed with the idea of paying
| for the improvement of three-fourfhs OF
| the street. but met the city with the prop
osition that it would pay for all the paw
| ing to the center of the street in question
which would amount to something over
| 81, 400. The commissioners finally voted
TO give the city $2,75o toward the paving.
This proposition was accepted by the
city.
1t was stated the material for the paw
ing was not agreed upon, but will be
taken up later In the meatime the City
Engineer will investigate street paving
compositions and report on the material
| best suited for the work.

More and Better Wheat.

With a view to stimulating wheat
growing in Frederick county tentative
offer OF five hundred dollars as an
award for the best wheat raised in Fred.
erick county during the harvest of 1915
was made through James H GambriIl,
Jr., on Saturday afternoon, May end, at
the regular monthly meeting of the
Frederick County Farmers Association.
While nothing but the bare fact that
such an offer has been to the members
Of the association, it is known that the
whole basis OF the contest will be more
wheat and of superior quality to the
acre. Whether the whole FIVE hundred
dollars will be given in lump to the
farmer raising the best and the largest
quantity of wheat for certain number
of acres has not been discussed or pro-
vided for. The author of the offer has
not been announced.

April l 1eth A Fatal Day.

"Why should April 10Th be the pivotal
date in the call to arms Of the American
people in every national conflict? For
certain it is that American history is in
dissolubly connected with this fatal date"
Mrs. Hester Dorsey Richardson, State
Historian of the Daughters of the Amer
ican Revolution, at the chapter meeting
asked this question in paper which she
read upon this subject.
Mrs. Richardson pointed out that on
April 10Th, 1774, the first shot was fired
at Lexington, Mass, and this shot was
the beginning of the Revolution.
On April 10Th, 1861, President Lincoln
issued a proclamation declaring that all
OF the ports of the seeded States be
blockaded. This was the beginning of
the Civil War.
On April 10Th, 1898, the joint resolu-
ton was passed by Congress, which re-
suited in the Spanish-American War.
And it was on April 10Th of this year
that the ultimatum was sent by the
President of the United States to Huerta,
fixing April 10Th, at 6 p. M, as the time
for the latter to salute the flag. The
blockade began the next day.
