Quality becomes more essential to
profit in live stock farming each sea
son. When labor, land, and feed were
cheap it was possible to realize
profit on live stock of an inferior grade,
but with the present high cost of these
production factors and a constant dis
elimination on the market against the
grub, it has become evident that the
greatest profit can be expected only
from live stock of good quality. 1t
may be possible for the feeder or deal
er to make a profit on inferior live
stock if he is able to buy it sufficiently
cheap and sell quickly but usually
someone has not realized the greatest
possible profit when a scrub" goes to
market. If 1t is not the feeder, it is
the man who produced the animal.

PECAN TREE CULTURE.
Should Not Be Set Less Than
Fifty Feet Apart.
In Wide MiddIes Other Crops Can Be
Successfully CuItivated-Do Not
Allow Cover Crops to En-
croach on Trees.
(By W. H. HUTT.l

Pecan trees are very deep-rooted
feed far below the surface, and do not
encrOach much on the land until they
are big enough to give profit for its
use Pecan trees should not be set less
than 80 feet apart; 60 feet is better
In these wide middles other crops can
be successfully cultivated for years
until the trees require all the land. In
this way planter need not be out of
the use of his land, but can at the same
time be gradually changing an annual
crop that adds no permanent increment
to the value of his soil to a perennial
one that makes his land more valuable
every years it grows upon it.
| have never seen a pecan orchard
that was success unless it was cult
waited, at least while the trees were
young. 1t is for this reason that pre-
fer the term pecan orchard" to pecan
grove" for the latter term has about it
more of the idea of green, unbrOken
turf, and, from my experience, I am
very sure that this is not the condition

conducive to large yields of nuts Prof.
Van Deman says Mature plants groves,
but man plants orchards"
Where maintenance crops are grown
in pecan orchard, judgment should
be exercised in not allowing the rows
to encroach too closely on the trees,
thus robbing them Of plantfood and
moisture. If this is done, valuable
time will be lost In getting the trees
into bearing. Maintenance or cover
crops should not be allowed to grow
nearer than six feet to the tree row,
and, of course, no crop of any kind
should be planted in the tree row itself.
A good farmer who recently, at my
solicitation, set out a pecan orchard,
asked me one day to look at his trees,
because they did not seem to be doing
well. When l drove with him to his
place had difficulty in finding his or

SOY BEAN A PROMISING CROP
Well Adapted to Whole Cotton Belt
Immature Seed Makes Delicious
Vegetable.

CFrom the United States Department of
Agricultural
Notable progress has been made in
bringing about the commercial utiliza-
ton of soy bean seed for the manu-
faCture of oil, meal, and various more
or less complex products, according to
the annual report of the chief of the
bureau of plant industry. The soy
bean, the report states, is well adapt
ed to the whole cotton belt, and indeed
to the whole corn region. In the cot
ton belt it promises to be an import
ant element wherever the acreage of
cotton has been reduced. The imma-
ture bean seds make a very delicious
vegetable and are canned with ease.
Inasmuch as soy beans can be more
cheaply produced than any other bean
seed, it is believed that there is a
large field for the canning of green
soy beans. Efforts are now being made
to induce canning factories to put the
product on the market. In the grow
ing of the soy bean and in manufac-
turing products therefrom the United
States can successfully compete with
the Orient.
