PLANT VELVET BEANS
FOR WINTER GRAZING
Unsurpassed For Feed and Soil In
provement-May BE Planted ~
Late ~ June IS.

Velvet beans should be planted in
every row Of corn and every effort
made to grow a maximum crop. For
providing feed for animals that may
be utilized in winter and for improv-
ing the soil il is unsurpassed. The
Early Speckled variety will produce q
good seed crop. and may be planted
as late as June IS. The vines are not
considered desirable for hay on &C.
count OF the difficulty in harvesting
and curing, but when left in the field
livestock will Craze them throughout
the,xinter and utilize their full feed
ing value. The beans that under good,
ordinary conditions will produce az
much az a ton of seed in the pod per
acre may be harvested and either
shelled for seed purposes or ground
into feed-pod and all. This makes q
food equal in value to shorts or bran,
and IL very valuable for horses, cat
tie and hogs@W. R. Perkins, Extsnr
sion DiH1atna, Loulaiana STATE Untv1U'

THE SOY BEAN WILL
SERVE MANY PURPOSES
May Be Grown For Money Crop, For
age, and Soil Improvsr-WiH
Follow Dat Crop.

The roy bean II q very valuable
crop to grow at any time. II may be
utilized AZ a money crop" where the
seed are harvested and sold to the
oil mills. It thus contributes to the
food supply. Twenty bushels Of seed
per acre IL . reasonably good yield.
and at the present price this yield
would bring q fair profit when the low
cost at which the crop may be grown
u considered.
Probably the greatest value Of the
SOY bean, on the whole, however, IL ~
a forage crop. When grown for this
purpose It should be planted thick In
the row and cut for hay. It makes a
feed almost equal in value to alfalfa
hay. The harvesting period b usual
" the latter part Of August or the
first Of September, when fair wealth
q usually prevails. Difficulty u ire
uuently experienced in obtaining good
seed for planting. and . poor stand OF
soy beans 10 common. To guard
axainst this, the germinative quality
of the seed should be tested before
planting and the planting should BE-
done with care. Failure will result II
the land for soy beans Is poorly pre-
pared. The land should be we'll plow-
ed and pulverized. and the seed plant
ed not more than one inch to one and
one-half inches deep. The planting
may be done up to the middle Of July.
and on this account 1t is one Of the
best crops to follow the oat crop. On
Door land the rows should be from
two to two and one-half feet wide, and
on fertile soil from three to three and
one-half feet. Planting should be done
with a corn or pea planter and about
onehalf bushel Of seed used per acre.
II properly planted no hoeing should
be required by this crop and 1t will
need only two or three cultivations.--

The Finish Of Your Car.

Carelessness in washing and po-
fishing car is responsible for a
great many cars getting to look old
and run down SO soon.
In washing your car be sure first
to use plenty of water and not
much pressure. Don't rub the
mud and dirt off, but wash it off
with water.
Thoroughly soften it and allow
it to soak before trying to remove
it at all. Do not allow anyone to
rub fingers over a surface covered
with dirt as the small particles of
dust will cut the finish.
You should have two sets of pals,
sponges and chamois for washing.
1t is a good plan never to use the
same sponge or chamois on the bo-
dy and running gears.
Grease makes a smeary appear
ance on the body and should be
kept off.
Keep sponges and chamois clean
and free from grit and dirt. Use
a good body soap and lukewarm
water for the last wash for the bo-
dy.
If you can find good body po-
lish it is good, but never use too
much or put it on too heavy; be
sure and rub it thoroughly and
leave the body free from il; or af-
ter awhile You will notice it max
ing a coating over the body that is
hard to remove.
1t is a good plan to 90 to the
man who sold you the car and have
him wash it up and show you how
to care for it, if convenient. The
nice appearance may be kept on a
car for a year or two with proper
care.
Never allow mud to dry OH the
body if possible to prevent, as il
will make spots that only re6nish.
ing will remove. = r. A. Bradley

SUGAR CANE.

The sugar cane acreage of Lou
isiana this year is estimated at
about IL per cent above the 1916
acreage, according to report made
to the Bureau of Crop Estimates
of the United States Department
of Agriculture by its Louisiana
field agent. His figures is based
upon an average increase as shown
in reports from cane growers COW
ering 58,447 acres. These same
planters reported for 1916 only
52,1l4 acres. The total area har-
vested for sugar in Louisiana in
1916 was 22l, 900 acres; in addi-
ton, considerable areas were re-
served for seed cane or used for
