ADAPTABILITY OF
SOY BEAN CROP
Irregularities of Season Win
Often Cause AftergroWth-
Easily Harvested.

Soy beans are very similar to cow
peas with respect to season Of growth
and cultural requirements. Since the
two crops occupy the same place In
crop rotation, it is well to contrast
their adaptability. says a bulletin of
the Delaware station
Soy beans mature uniformly, the
pods ripening practically at the
same time; cowpeas often bear
ripe pods and blossoms on the same
plant. Irregularities of season will
frequently cause an aftergrowth OF
the plant, a condition which does not
obtain with soy beans. This differ
ence in maturing habit is distinctly
in favor of the soy beans, inasmuch
as the latter may be more easily har
vested for seed or hay than the COW
peas
Most varieties OF SOY beans grow
erect or nearly so; cowpeas are whey
and bear the pods so near the ground
that it is less likely to injure soy
beans-both in the spring and the fall
when nearly mature--than cOwpeas
which are killed by light forsts.
Soy beans are injured less by insect
enemies and plant disease than cow
peas. If cut at the proper stage OF
maturity, soy beans make a richer
hay than the cowpeas.

why the park benches always were so
full
What became of them all? Nobody
knew-or cared. New York was the
first city in this country to discover
that il could do away with its heart
and soul. People used to talk about
the heart Of New York 1t had none.
Other cities tried to initiate it in this,
but they looked like nice little school
children playing robbers. II a person
had money all of New York knew
where he was. You bet it did; it need
ed him in its business. If he had no
money, nobody except perhaps the po-
liceman on night duty in the parks
knew that he existed. So long as
ones money lasted q fellow was fol-
lowed by q procession usually headed
by prosperous looking young woman,
then, in order, a head waiter, chauf-
feur, bartender and a crowd of
friends After his money was gone
the procession consisted of one past.
The order of Friends was strong in New
York in that era; you couldn't get
away from them-if you looked like
you had the gelt. But If you failed to
make a spectacular front: Goodnight!
Who ever saw you before?' You didn't
have to have any money, understand;
you only had to look like it. A typical
New Yorker who was good at the job
could look like millionaire and owe
for laundry at the same time You
have heard of New York art, Charley?
Well, that was it; New Workers were
all artists in that line.

ONE BOYS BRILLIANT IDEA
Youngster Told His Father to Try
Scissors and So Invented Reap
Ing Machines.

In 1880 Obed Hussey of Ohio was in
venting a reaping machine, the first
ever designed in this country.
His chief difficulty was the cutting
device, which was three large sickles,
set in frame and revolved so as to
cut into the grain. 1t would not work
satisfactorily.
A young son, watching the expert
ment, asked his father why he did not
use a lot of big scissors. with one
handle fastened to one bar, and the
other handle to a sliding bar, thus
opening and closing them.
Hussey instantly adopted the idea,
substituting for scissors the two saw
toothed blades which are in common
use today on harvesters, the cutting
action being quite similar to that of
scissors.
From the boys suggestion he per
fected in one week machine on
which he had in vain exercised all
his ingenuity for the preceding two
years.
The principle of the cutting device
is the principle of all of the great har-
vesting machines, and it's benefit to
the farming industry of the entire
world has been unsurpassed by any
other invention for use on the farm
