SOY BEANS GROWN
in CAPE COUNTY
Farm Adviser Says They Can be
Planted with the Grow
ing Corn.
By c. VI. McWILLIAMS

| (Cape Girardeau County Agent.)
This season q considerable number
Of farmers are planting soybeans with
corn, both for hogging down and fol
ensilirg with corn. All those who
grew them last year were well salts
fled with results. Soybeans may be
planted to advantage with a cowpea
attachment to corn planter, or the
corn may be drilled and the beans
| drilled in the same rows. If an at
tachment is not available the corn
may be drilled in the same rows. The
Mikado, Jet, Mongol, Medium Yellow,
and Mammoth Yellow are the varieties
generally recommended for this sec
ton, although the latter variety ma
lures rather late.
The time for the first cutting OF
alfalfa is near at hand This plant
indicates by its growth when it is
ready to harvest. Examine the base
or crown cf the plant and if the new
shoots or buds are putting forth it is
ready to cut The best growers pay
little or no attention to the blossom &;
the blossoms may or may not be pres
ent at cutting time. Alfalfa is seri-
ously injured by too early cutting, but
if it is done at the proper time the new
growth comes on Immediately without
any check in growth.
If the alfalfa is weedy or grassy it
should be cultivated Immediately after
the first cutting. A spring tooth har-
row is an excellent tool for this pur-
pose, and some men have obtained
very good results from cultivating
with hoe drill. The last named tool
works best if the soil is not too hard
A cheap and effective method Of
building up a thin soil that has been
successfully used in this county, is to
SOW cowpeas, turn the entire crop I'M
der after they have matured and SOW
the field in rye or clover The rye
may be pastured with hogs and cattle.
With the present prices of peas one
can we'll afford to try this plan.
in ore instance last year, half Of 4
field, 10 acres, received this treat
ment and the remainder did not The
first crop harvested yielded more than
twice as much where the peas were
plOwed down.
