their use may be practical when
large amounts of the beans are to
be handled. If thoroughly dry, soy
beans may be thrashed with a fail.
If only an acre or two is to he
thrashed this method is practical and
economical. A corn shredder has
been used with success in thrashing
soybeans. If the beans are properly
cured and dried they are shelled Out
very readily with such a machine.
Storage of Seed.
Soybean seed spoils rather easily
if not properly handled, and care
should be used in curing and stor-
ing. After thrashing the bears
should be watched carefully to avoid
heating and molding. When good
and dry there is no such danger. A
good plan is to spread the beans out
on the floor Immediately after thrash
ing and shovel them over from time
to time until they r thoroughly
dry, then they may be safely put
into sacks or bins. The storeroom
should be dry and have a free clrcu-
lation of air. Soybean seed losses
vitality very rapidly and it is not
safe to hold seed for planting pur-
poses for more than two seasons.

SHALL VELVET BEANS BE.
HARVESTED OR GRAZED;

A reader has 100 head of 750-
pound grade Hereford heifers. Am
pie pasture is available until frost
and then 100 tons of sorghum, cow
pea and corn silage, and velvet beans
for grazing are available. He asks:
"Would you crush the velvet beans
in the hull and feed the meal in ad-
dition to silage, OF would you let
these heifers take the run of the
fields?"
On sandy land we would be in
clined to let the cattle Craze the vel
vet beans instead of trying to har-
vest Them Some Of the beans might
|be gathered and fed with the silage
after grazing is exhausted or when
it is not advisable to keep the cattle
on the land.
But on land such. as is common in
the locality from which this inquiry
comes it is not usually advisable to
put cattle on the land during the wet
weather of winter. For this reason
the pods may be gathered, ground
and fed with the silage, unless the
quantity will be only sufficient to
furnish grazing for the cattle during
such portion of the winter as is like
ly to be suitable for grazing. But it
there are more beans than the cat
tie will need or can consume during
the time the land will probably be
dry enough for grazing, part of them
should be gathered, ground and fed
with the silage. If this is not done
it will probably be found advisable
to feed some c]ottonseed meal with
the silage.
With only 100 tons of silage and
100 head of cattle to- feed they can
not be given more than 20 pounds of
silage each per day for more than
100 days, and, therefore, some graz
ing on the velvet beans or other
roughage will probably be necessary.
In view of these facts, it may be
more economical to Craze the velvet
beans and feed cottonseed meal with
the silage, but this will depend en-
tirely on the supply or quantity of
velvet beans.-Progressive Farmer

STATEWIDE ANTI
TUBERCULOSIS CAMPAIGN
Movement Under Direction of State
Board of Health, Headed by Mrs.
Annie /. Rembert.

Under the direction of the State
Board of Health, a statewide cam
paign will be inaugursted through a
central cooperating committee.
headed by Mrs. Annie I. Rembert,
field secretary of the State Board Of
Health, with regard to tuberculosis,
and executive secretary of the South
Carolina nti-Tuberculosis associa,
ton, for the protection not only OF
the military camps of the state
against tuberculosis, but also of the
civilian population as we'll, and for
the care and treatment of those who
have contracted the dread disease.
This work is considered vitality i'm.
portant during this war emergency,
and is it felt that it a be more eff
fectively carried out in view of the
rigid examinations which are being
undergone and are yet to be under.
gone by thousands of young men in
the state, which will disclose many
hidden places of the malady.
The cooperating committee of the
tuberculosis war problem will be
composed of the tuberculosis com.
mittee of the State Board of Health,
the county chairmen of the state
council of defense, the chairman of
the Red Cross organizations and spe-
cial agents of the South Carolina
nti-Tuberculosis association. In
each county there will be a sub
committee composed of the county
supervisor, county superintendent OF
education, a representative of the
county medical association, the may,
or of the county seat, the president
of the chamber of commerce, a rep,
resentative of the women's clubs
and a representative of the women's
defense council. Mrs. Rembert will
organize these committees, county
by county.

USE CHEAPER FEEDS.

cit is time to quit %shoveling grain
Unfortunately into live stock. Good
livestock farming demands it and
the need of more food requires it.
Feeding grain to meat animals with
a lavish hand is responsible for one
of the greater feed losses on the
farms of this country. Hay, fodder,
silage, and pasture are the cheapest
feeds and will carry animals along
with a minimum of grain. Keep the
frames of the young animals devel-
oping on these cheap feeds. With
hold the full grain ration until the
finishing period arrives. Breeding
cattle may be wintered on the cheap
er feeds"
This advice of misunderstanding
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture to stock
feeders is emergency advice only;
it is the sound logic of meat produc-
ton; which American farmers must
learn if they are to compete success
fully with European meat producers
in the coming generations. These
are good days to learn the lesson Of
feed conservation. In Farmers Bull
letin s73, "The Utilization of Farm
Wastes in Feeding Live Stock" spe-
cialists tell how to use these cheaper
feeds in rations for cattle, sheep, and
horses.
A tremendous waste of feeding
stuffs occurs annually on American
farms, according to figures presented
in this publication.
This waste of corn slower can be
checked, it is said, through use of
better methods of feeding fodder
and slower and it can be almost en-
tirely stopped through the use of 81
los. Straw and slower are best util-
lied for feed when accompanied by
concentrates, such as cottonseed
meal. If the large amounts of cotton
seed meal ordinarily used for fertil-
izer in the south were, instead, fed
to live stock and the manure used
for fertilizer, the value Of the meal
would be increased from SO to IS per
cent.
Practical experience as we'll as ex-
detrimental work has taught that
straw and slower can be used very
economically in the rations of almost
all kinds of live stock. They can
be used in the fattening rations of
all farm animals except hogs and
should compose the larger part of
all wintering or keeping rations of
cattle, sheep, and horses.
