PECAN TREE CULTURE

Fifty Feet Apart.
In Wide Mddes Other Crops Can Be

(By w. H-HUTT.O

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 SO 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 "A planter need not be out of
the use of his land, but can at the same

SOY BEAN A PROMISING CROP
Well Adapted to Whole Cotton Belt
Immature Seed Makes Delicious
Vegetable.
tFrom the United States Department OF
Agrtculturel

6From the United States Department Of
Agriculture)
Notable progress has been made in
bringing about the commercial utiliza-
ton of soy bean seed for the manu-
factnre 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 1t promises to be an import
ant element wherever the acreage of
cotton has been reduced. The imma-
ture bean seds make very delicious
vegetable and are canned with ease.
Inasmueh as soy beans can be more
cheaply produced than any other bean
seed. it is believed that there Is
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 manufae-
turing products therefrom the United
States can successfully compete with
the Orient.
