Cory is the most important food
crops.grown in Louisiana and amounts
to about forty-milliOn bushels a year.
| IS1is great amount, however, is only
.hbout one-half of the corn and corn
products required to meet the needs
Of the state. 1t is imperative, there
fore, that the acreage planted to this
crop be greatly increased.
AS a rule, it is not advisable to
plant corn on poor land, but under ex-
listing conditions of great need for
increased food production, corn should
be planted on the poorest grade of
land as well as on the best, and
crop Of velvet beans should be grown
with the corn to help make it profit
able.
The season for planting corn will
last until about the first of July. 1t
is recommended that the native va
rieties, such as Calhoun Red Cob, Sen
tells White Dent, Hastings Prolific,
Mosby's Prolific, ETC., be planted up
to the first of June, after which some
of the earlier maturing types, such as
Laguna and Dwarf Mexican June
should be planted.
Corn is a crop that is greatly in.
fuenced by sell and by rainfall dur
ing the growing season. The only
thing that a farmer can do to over
come these difficulties is to prepare

THE SOY BEAN WILL
SERVE MANY PURPOSES
May Be Grown For Money Crop, For
age, and Soil lmprover-WilI
Follow Oat Crop.

The soy bean is a very valuable
crop to grow at any time. It may be
utilized as 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 is reasonably good yield.
and at the present price this yield
would bring a fair profit when the low
cost at which the crop may be grown
is considered.
Probably the greatest value of the
soy bean, on the whole, however, is. as
forage crop. When grown for this
purpose it Should be planted thick in
the row and cut for hay. 1t makes
feed almost equal in value to alfalfa
hay. The harvesting period is usual.
~ the latter part of August or the
first Of September, when fair wealth.
er usually prevails. Difficulty is fre.
quently experienced In obtaining good
seed for planting, and poor stand OF
soy beans is common. To guard
against this, the germinative quality
of the seed should be tested before
planting and the planting should be
done with care. Failure will result If
the land for soy beans Is poorly pre-
pared. The land should be well plow.
ed and pulyerized, 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
poor land the rows should be from
,wo to two and one-half feet wide, and
IN fertile soil from three to three and
)ne-half feet. Planting should be done |
with corn or pea planter and about
,nehalf bushel Of seed used per acre. |

Ing the soil it is unsurpassed. The
Early Speckled variety will produce

BRINE: A good brand of salt de-

The Diamond Crystal Flake is good

Drop the cans into cold water when they

TABLE POULTRY WILL
RELIEVE MEAT SHORTAGE
Chicks May Be Hatched and Reared
At Any Time-Foods For Fat
teninq Fowls.

The production OF table poultry is q
means by which many individuals car
do a great deal toward averting the
threatened meat shortage.
Table poultry is produced largely
as by-product from fiocks where egg
production is the main object. AL
| though early spring matches are nee
essary to produce good fall and win.
ter layers, chickens for table use ,can
be profitably Matched and reared at al
most any time of year.
Keep the growing chicks comforta-
Bile at all times. This is the only
method that will give the best results.
/ chick once checked, or stunted, dur
ing its growing period will never
make as good development as the
chick which is kept growing steadily
at its normal rate.
Chicks that are hatched during the
hotter portions Of the year should be
provided with ample shade, clean and
cool water, and fresh, succulent green
feed. The very young chick cannot
stand as much exposure to the hot
sun as can the earlier hatched and
partly feathered chick.
The medium, or heavy breeds, such
as the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte,
Rhode Island Red, Orpington, etc., are
best suited for table poultry produc-
tion. The cockerels from these breeds
may be caponized when they weigh a
pound and half to two pounds and
then fed for continued growth to the
six or eight pound stage, or even
larger.
The light, active breeds, such as
Leghorns and the Creole can be
used profitably for the production Of
broilers or small fryers. Owing to
their nervous, active disposition they
increase in weight very slowly after
reaching the pound and half to two
and half pound stage, and it is rare.
ly profitable to keep them beyond that
point.
From a standpoint of economy, poul.
try is not ready for consumption until
1t has been fattened, or finished"
The finishing should be done by the |
grower. A simple method is to con
fine the birds to q small yard for about |
two weeks and feed them on corn |
chops soaked in sour skinned milk,
giving three feeds a day and all they
will eat. Where milk is not obtaina-
tle, the following may usually be sub
stituted with satisfactory results:
Wheat bran, part; cottonseed meal,
4 parts; corn meal, 10 parts; and wa
ter enough to make mixture OF
