WHEN TO HARVEST
SOY BEAN CROP
Varieties Are Not All Alike and
So Each Requires Special
Attention
LONG GROWERS YIELD MOST
When Working Soy Beans Into Rota-
ton Study the Variety to Be Used
Beans Supply Excellent Forage for
Hogs.
(By j. G. McAmjs, Division of Exten-
sion, University Of Tennessee.)

(By j. c. McAmjs, Division of Exten-
sion, University Of Tennessee.)
In planning a suitable rotation in
Guiding soy beans, it is important to
know the approximate length Of sea-
son of the particular variety used.
The following is quoted from Bulle-
tin No. 50, of the Tennessee Station:
"There is not only a great difference
in the time between planting and ma
turity required by the different Varie-
ties when planted at the same date,
but also a marked variation in the
length Of season required by any one
variety when planted at widely sep
arated dates"
The variation in length Of season Of
a given variety takes place almost en-
tirely previous to Towering, The
length of time between Towering and
maturing seed is practically the same
regardless of the date of seeding.
The important factor to bear in
mind in the calculation of the approXi-
mate date of harvesting or hogging off
is that all varieties shorten their
length of season the later they are
planted However, later paintings are
usually accompanied by decrease in
yield 1t is also generally true that the
short season varieties produce less
than do the longer season varieties.
Below is given the approximate
dates of harvesting hay and grain for
the standard varieties for Tennessee
when they are seeded at the most
favorable time:
ITO SAN-Harvesting Hay, July
1880; Seed August 5-September 6. Ex-

WHAT MACHINERY
SHOULD BE BOUGHT
High-Priced Machines Lie Idle Too
Much of the Time-Co-operative
Buying Suggested.
(By C. E. Alfred, Division of Exten,

by C. E. Alfred, Division of Exten.
sion, University of Tennessee)
This is the age of machinery. In
fact, machinery enables the small
number of farmers to grow food
enough to support the large number of
persons who are engaged in the many
other industries. The farmers must
determine what machinery to buy,
what makes are best, and how to han
die machinery to get the fullest use
OF it.
Whether or not it will pay to buy
any particular machine depends on
Q) where the machine is to be used,
(21 the possibility of hiring the work
done at the desired time, and (3)
how much the capital is needed for
other purposes.
In every community there are farm.
ers who have too little machinery for
their farms, and about the same num-
Der who have too much. One extreme
is as bad as the other. 1t does not pay
to keep $100 machine when it is used
only two or three days year, as this
makes the cost for repairs, interest,
and depreciation from 81 to $40 day.
The work can be hired done for less
than this.
A better method is for two or more
farmers to buy a machine in partner
ship. In order to avoid confusion each
man shoald understand definitely when
he may expect the use Of the machine.
Who is to house it and repair it should
be known.
The young man who is short Of
money can often buy most of his ma
chinery at public sales and save CON
siderable of his money for other uses.
If good judgment is used, one may buy
very cheaply in this way. The man
with plenty of money may prefer to
buy his machinery new.

MARKET REPORTS SENT
OUT FREE THIS YEAR
Movement of Tennessee's Strawberry
Crop Made Known Daily to Farmers
and Dealers-Profts Increased.

The Office of Markets of the United
States Department of Agriculture has
put into effect a system of market re,
porting that has been used this season
by growers and by dealers in perish
able crops. Tennessee is recognized
as the leading strawberry State in the
Union. During the movement of straw.
berries two offices were maintained in
Tennessee from which were sent daily
market reports to those desiring such.
The telegraphic reports cost those who
received them the expense of the tele
graphic service; the reports that were
mailed cost nothing.
These market reports were secured
by collecting from all parts of the
country facts as to the movement of
perishable crops under consideration
These reports were telegraphed daily
by the railroads, government Off
Gals and others to headquarters
at Washington They were i'm
mediately summarized and the re-
sulting totals telegraphed to stations
like the one established this year in
Tennessee, at Humboldt From Hum
boldt the strawberry growers and
shippers we're supplied with the infor-
nation if they asked for it. Through
a proper use Of the figures, the pro
ducer has been able to get from his

THE FAITHFUL WHEEL HOE

(By Charles A. Keffer, Division of Elk.
tension, University Of Tennessee)
The wheel hoe is to the garden what
the sewing machine is to the house;
it will not do away with hand labor,
but it will save sight of it.
Ia small gardens, or where the rows
are too short to use a horse-cultivator
probably, the wheel hoe is a great
labor saver And the kinds that have
big wheels work the best One may
almost pillow the garden with a wheel
hoe In loamy gardens that have been
we'll MANFRED from year to year
wheel hoe is really means of grace.
For even the man who loves exercise
and is skiilful with the hand hoe will
welcome a device that saves backache
as well as time and labor.

PLAN WORK IN THE GARDEN
In May One Can Plant and Till and
Harvest.
(By Charles A. Keffer, Division of Elk.

(By Charles A. Keffer, Division of Elk.
tension, University of Tennessee.)
Every garden should have two plant
ing days month; approximately the
first and fifteenth. Assuming that on
April fifteenth there were parsley, let.
tuce, radish peas, beans, spinach, car
rot, beet, and corn planted, May first
should see tomato, pepper, and egg
plant, and okra, cucumber, melons,
squash, and lima beans, with a second
planting of snap beans, and a second
or third planting of radish, sown.
May fifteenth we may add winter
squash, satisfy, and parsnip, though it
would be better to plant them later.
Make third planting of snap beans,
a second planting of carrot and beet.
May is too late to plant cabbage, eau
lifower, lettuce, onion, and spinach
If greens are wanted in late June or
July, plant endiye the first Of May.
But tillage is the great work of May
There is no greater implement than
the old fashioned hoe for garden work
The harrow-toothed cultivator will
fine the soil between the rows, but
nothing gets next to a plant with quite
the same influence as a properly used
hoe Stir the soil, shallow, about
every plant once a week in May if you
want gOod VEGETABLES and keen the
soil we'll titled between the rows.
In May the garden should begin to
supply the table. Peas planted in Jan.
uary are ready for use early in May.
February transplanted cabbage should
be ready for the table in May. March
sown lettuce, beet, carrot, and spinach
will be big enough to eat, as will April
soWn radish.
May is the month of planting, of til.
lage, of harvest to the gardener.

IMMENSE LOSS BECAUSE
FODDER is NOT FED
100000 Tons at a Value of $4,000, 600
Is Wasted Yearly in Tennessee.

"Twenty-eight million dollars is lost
every year by the tArmers of Tennes,
see through a failure on their part to
utilize the feeds that are now to be
found on the FARMS" says Professor c..
A. Wilson, Of the College of Agricul,
ture. Live stock could make use of
the feeds, The returns that would re-
suit would be additional to those now
coming from the direct sale of farm
crops. The returns would be addi
tional because the live stock would
turn the roughage of the farm, now be.
ing lost, into money.
More than half of the fodder of Ten
nessee goes to waste every year. For
every head of cattle in the state there
are produced three acres of corn,
which will average one ton of slower
per acre. One and one-half tons Of
stover are more than are needed to
winter one head of cattle There is
going to waste, then, in this state
every year, 100000 tons Of corn
stoyer. This at valuation Of $500
per ton means that immense loss Of
twenty-eight million dollars. Division

On medium poor and rich lands sue
cess with crimson clover may be ex-
pected when the soil has thorough
midsummer preparation, and if the
seeding is done in August.
Lands that are very rich do not
require the work that the poorer ones
do, but even on the best of soils care
full preparation of the seed bed shows
in the crop harvested
The fact that crimson clover is the
best winter crop for Tennessee when
used as green manures, cover crops
and pastures is creating greater in

Thorough midsummer breaking is

with the subsoil pillow alone, provided
there is little vegetative growth, 9TH

After breaking keep the land free
from weed growth and prevent the
evaporation of moisture by frequent
disking and narrowing. Before seed.

a roller. Above all, do not SOW on

COUNTY FAIRS ARE POPULAR
Good Place to Advertise the Fact That
Your Live Stock Is What 1t Ought
to Be-SuccessfuI Farmers AdVer
! tise All the Time.
(By r. M. Murphy Division of Exten
sion, University Of Tennessee.)

Have you picked out the animals
you intend to show at your County
Fair this fall? If you expect to win
it's time for the selection. If you are
really breeding something that youl
ineighbors would be interested in there
lis no better place to advertise than al
your County Fair Your neighbors
will be there. Surprise them little
by showing them something good.
OF course, they haven't been taking
your breeding operations seriously and
the chances are that if they wanted To
buy an animal of the breed you have
they would buy from somebody who
carries a big advertisement in the
paper Why? Simply because YOU
haven't convinced them that you have
just as good stock as the other man.
If you have a good animal show him
You can show him to more people in
one day at the County Fair than would
come to your farm to see him in ten
years. Get catalog and pick out your
animals for each class. Make it at
least interesting for the man who has
been walking away with the ribbons
A remark that is commonly heard
at the fairs is 1--WE got one better
than that at home" This may be true
and doubtless is in many cases, but il
the man who makes such statement
had any public spirit and interest in
the improvement of conditions in his
county or was awake to his own OPP
portunity he would be ashamed to own
the fact
The greatest problem confronting
the average breeder is to keep his ami
mails up to standard. A man may buy
"a herd of animals of the most popular
type today and go off by himself for
ten years to conduct his breeding op'
erations. Upon returning he will, ex.
Icept by the greatest accident, find that
he is producing something far differ.

surest way to know what you have lie
