SOY BEANS IN THE COTTON BELT
u. S. Government Bulletin.
Introduction.


The soy bean, called also soya bean,
SOFA bean, and, in North Carolina,
stock pea, is an erect, rather hairy,
summer legume, resembling some
what the common field bean, but usu-
ally much taller and not twining. In
extent of uses and value it is the
most important legume grown in
Asiatic countries. 1t is utilized for
human food, for forage, and, as the
bean contains a valuable oil, for the
production Of oil and cake, Within the
last few years the crop has become
of special Importance because of the
large importations of beans, oil, and
cake from Manchuria to America and
Europe. The soy bean is valuable
crop in various ways, and for certain
conditions has many points of superb
ority over the cowpea that should rec
ommend it to the average farmer. In
the growing and handling Of the soy
bean special labor and machinery are
not necessary, the ordinary farm
equipment meeting all requirements
of the crop. The high yield of seed,
the possibilities of the seed for the
production of oil and meal, the excel
lent quality of it's forage, the ease of
growing and harvesting, and it's free
dom from insect enemies and plant
diseases should all encourage the
more extensive planting of this crop.
Adaptations.
The soy bean has wide adaptations
as regards soil and climate. In gen.
eral, the northern limit of it's practical
culture in the United States may be
said to be that Of corn and the south
eIn limit that of cotton. In other
words, it will succeed in the United
States wherever corn or cotton is cul-
tivated. 1t is especially adapted to
the cotton belt, where the later and
larger varieties, which give yields
that make their extensive cultivation
profitable, can be grown. Rabbits are
exceedingly fond of the soy bean and
often cause considerable damage to
small areas.
The soil requirements of soy beans
are similar to those Of corn, but the
plants will make satisfactory
growth on poorer soil than corn. The
best results, perhaps, are to be OBJ
tanned in medium loans, although
clay and sandy soils may be made to
produce good crops. The soy bean
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1917-04-11

does not require a well-drained soil,
although a soil where water stands
for considerable length of time is
not desirable 1t is able to withstand
a greater amount of moisture, how
ever, than either cowpeas or corn.
The soy bean is also decidedly
drought resistant-much more so than
the cowpea.
Soil Preparation.
Soy beans succeed best in a thor
oughly prepared soil. The land should
be plowed early and deep, fitted and
then narrowed at intervals until the
beans are planted. The young plants
of soy beans are not able to push
through a hard crust, as are corn and
cowpeas. Thus, to insure a good stand
the seed should have a light covering
of loose, mellow soil. Soy beans
should not be planted more than 2
inches deep, as poor stands frequent
ly result from too deep covering.
Fertilizers.
Theuse of commercial fertilizers is
recommended where sandy soil pre-
dominates or the soil is Of low fer
tility. Where fertilizers are used
good results have been obtained by
using dressing Of stable manure of
800 pounds Of acid phosphate and $50
pounds of wood ashes or 25 pounds of
muriate of potash. Where wood ashes
or the muriate are not to be had, the
acid phosphate alone can be applied to
good advantage. In using the COM
mercial fertilizer it is well to apply
broadcast before the beans are plant
ed. Lime has been found almost in
variably to increase the yield.
incubation.
Soy, beans, like other legumes,
when we'll inoculatcd, add much nitro
gen to the soil. Natural incubation
now occurs quite generally through
out the soy-bean region in the south
ern United States. In localities where
the crop has not been previously
grown, however, it is advisable to in
oculate. incubation may be secured
through the use of pure culture or
by the use of soil from field where
the plants have previously developed
nodules.
Soy beans may be sown at any time
after danger of severe frosts is over,
ranging from early spring until mid
summer. AS rule the late varieties
are preferable in the South and should
be sown about the same time as corn.
Soy beans are grown either in cul-
tivated rows or broadcasted, depend
ing on the purpose for which they
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1917-04-11

are grown. The row method is pre-
ferable in weedy land and usually
gives larger yields of forage and
practically always of seed. The gen
cral practice for seed production is
to plant in rows 80 to 48 inches apart.
For hay, soiling, or green manure a
drilled or broadcast crop furnishes q
finer quality of forage. In rows,
from 20 to 81 pounds of seed to the
acre is required; when sown broad
cast or drilled, from GO to 90 pounds.
The seed is generally sown with an
ordinary grain drill, either in rows
or broadcast. BY covering the feed
cups not in use the distance between
rows can be adjusted as desired. The
cotton planter and corn planter have
also been found satisfactory in plant
ing large fields.
Under proper soil conditions SOW
beans germinatc in three to five days.
AS soon as the Seeding plants appear
above the ground cultivation may be-
gin. Soy beans should receive at
least three civilizations.
Rotations.
Soy beans may be combined advan-
tageously in many systems Of crop
rotations. The cash value of the seed
is sufficient to encourage the growing
of these beans as one of the main
crops Of the rotation. In the South
soy beans may be used in practically
the same place in rotations as are
cowpeas. In some localities SOW
bean crop is grown between two
wheat crops and in other sections be-
tween two oat crops. Wheat, winter
oats, and winter barley may follow
soy beans.
Mixtures.
Soy beans may be grown satisfac-
thus atfording greater variety and
larger yield of forage. A mixture
OF soy beans and cowpeas makes a
very satisfactory hay. Soy beans
may also be grown either for hay or
for ensilage in mixture with sor-
ghum, both the yield and the quality
Of the forage being improved by the
mixture. Soy beans are more Gen
orally grown with corn than WITH any
other crop.
Soy Beans for Hay.
Soy-bean hay makes very nutri-
tious forage and is relished by all
kinds of stock. The chief value Of
the hay lies in it's high content of
digestible protein. Feeding expert
ments indicate that soy-bean hay is
comparable to alfalfa and red-clover
lhay.

and this will prevent termination.
Under whatever conditions stored, the
seed should be examined occasionally
to detect any tendency to heat. The
seed of the soy beans, unlike that of
the cowpea, is rarely attacked by the
weevil or other grain insects. Soy
beans do not retain their germinative
power as well as cowpeas. Germina-
ton tests indicate that it is not ad-
visable to sow seed two years old
without previous testing.
Value for HGman Food.
Although the soy beans as an ar
ticle Of food has attracted attention
from time to time in the United
States, thus far it has been used but
little. The beans contain only a trace
of starch and are highly recommended
as a food for persons requiring
food of low starch content. The num-
erous ways in which the beans can
be prepared as human food should
encourage its greater use. The dried
beans may be used like the ordinary
field or navy bean in baking or in
soups. When prepared in either of
these ways the beans require some
what longer soaking and cooking.
The immature bean when from three
fourths to full grown compares fav-
orably with the butter or Lima bean.
Roasted and prepared soy beans make
substitute for coffee which has been
found plasing to those fond of cereal
beverages. In Asiatic countries the
dried beans are soaked in salt water
and then roasted, this product being
eaten after the manner of roasted
peanuts. Soy-bean meal or flour may
be used as a constituent of biscuits,
mullins, and bread; in fact, in any
recipe in which corn meal is used. In
the various preparations one-fourth
or one-third soy bean flour or meal
and the remainder wheat are recon-
mended.
SOy-Bean Oil.
Soy-bean seeds contain valuable
vegetable oil. The large annual i'm
portations Of soy-bean oil and bean
cake into the United States suggest
possible ready market for such pro-
ducts made from American-gr grown
beans. The demand FOR the oil, es-
pccially in the manufacture of soap,
and its possibilities for other indus
trial purposes, are very large, and it
should be strong competitor of other
vegetable oils, for which the demand
is constantly increasing both in this
country and in Europe.
SOy-Bean Cake.
The soy-bean cake, remaining after
the oil is expressed, Is ground into
meal and makes highly heterogeneous
feed. When the value of the meal in
the production Of beef and butter be-
comes properly recognized, there will
doubtless be large market for it as
feed if prices are favorable. Owing
to its high content of protein, the
meal should be used with the same
precautions as are observed with
other highly concentrated feeds to
avoid digestive troubles. AS indicat-
ed above, soy-bean meal is of value
as human food. 1t is probable that
its use for this purpose will increase.
Varieties.
At the present time about Is varie-
ties of soy beans are handled COM
mercially by growers and seedsmen,

FATE PURSUED THIS TOMMY
Nearly Spent Bullet Goes Through
Hole Made in His Helmet by
German Sniper.

James Dickinson, a convalescent
Canadian soldier, in a letter to a
friend, tells this story of the great
war:
During a lull in the battle of the
Marne one of the Canadian troopers
took off his steel helmet, and, placing
it on the end Of his rifle, held it so
that about half Of it protruded above
the top of the trench. A German
sniper, observing it, at once shot at it,,
and the ball, striking it squarely,
pierced the steel, going out the other
side. The Tommy" laughingly showed
1t to his comrades and placed it back
on his head.
Fifteen minutes later the order came
to "go over the top" and this same
''Tommy'' was among the first. He was
: also among the first to fall, mortally
FWounded.
It was discovered at the. dressing
station that he had been struck by a
nearly spent bullet that had gone
through one of the holes that he had
