IMPROVING SOILS WITH VELVET
BEANS.

o. ]. -, Atlanta. Ca. writes. l would
like information about the velvet
bean as soil imprcyer and hay producer.
Which is preferable to sOw-cowpeas or vel
vet beans? Would the early variety OF vel
vet bean do well in the section of Roanoke.
va.7 WoIld Hastings Prolific corn be
good variety for that locality:
The velvet bean is one of the most
valuable of the legumes to be used for
the purpose of soil improvement. Most
strains of this crop which grow vigor-
ously and, therefore, yield well. require
considerable period in which to ma
ture, in other words, from four to five
months. There are on the market Il
called the 80, 1OO-day or speckled. and
which undoubtedly mature earlier than
some other strains. According to our
experience, however. they take longer
TO mature than is ordinarily thought.
One should have a growing season for
these varieties of say four. or more like
ly five months. This. you VIII see,
makes their use in the section of Vir-
ginia to which you refer or rather doubt
full value for any purpose save that OF
soil enrichment. They probably could
be grown to some advantage for this
purpose. You should put them in the
soil as soon as it is warmed up enough
TO cause rapid termination For the
purpose of soil Improvement we would
plant them in rows four feet apart and
put one bean down about every two to
three feet in the drill They should, of
course. be plowed under before frost
falls. 1t is important that they be COW

will sometimes cut up the vines suf-
ficiently to enable you to pillow thenf un-

We were never able to grow velvet

there is considerably above that of

Plan Is Figured on Basis Of
One-HOrSe Farm and May
Be Modified to Suit Con-
ditiOnS

definite and practical food planting
schedule was adopted Thursday after
noon by the southeastern food crop con-
ference held in the Atlanta chamber Of
commerce, and will be recommended to
farmers throughout the southeastern ter
rltory embracing the states of North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Georgia, Florid9, Alabama and Missis-
sippi.
The schedule is figured on the basis
of an average one-horse farm and is as
follows:
Five acres in corn and velvet beans
five acres in hay, to be followed by win
ter oats: not exceeding ten acres in cot
ton; five acres in peanuts to be crushed
for oil or grazed down by hogs; one
and one-half acres in sweet potatoes, to
be followed by winter crops; one and
one-half acres in alfalfa or crimson
clover or cowpeas or soy beans; one
acre in rape or oats or vetch or cowpeas
or soy beans; one acre in truck crops,
followed by hay or grazing crops for
hogs; ten acres should be set aside as
pasturage for cows and hogs; one-half
acre in orchard; one-half acre in vege-
table garden.
This schedule is to be modified to suit
local conditions in the various states
and counties
STRICTLY BUSINESS
1t was strictly business meeting and

was appointed to recommend a plan of
organization. While they were out,
Governor Brough, of Arkansas, made a
patriotic speech in which he declared
that the United States is about to enter
the war for the purpose of dethroning

throughout the world. The organiza-
ton committee returned with the fol-
lowing plan of organizatio which was
adopted:
First, the appointment of a committee
on ways and means of securing increased
production of food crops.
Second, the election of Nell r. Wilkin-
son as chairman of the conference.
Third. the election of Walter G. Coop
err as secretary of the conference.

Ii goes without saying that the man
agement of the farm must be consider
ably changed from the methods pre-
viously followed before the advent of
the boil weeviL In order TO make a
success under such conditions a great
er variety of crops must be grown and
hence a considerable volume of bust
ness must he transacted i'm order to
make the more varied operations neces-
sary profitable The volume of bust
ness can be obtained by increasing the
number of crops grown. securing larg-
er revenue per acre, or by increasing
the extent OF the cultivated land. All
the experience. however. of practical
farmers and experiments points to the
fact that the intensiication of produc-
tion is likely TO prove the most profita-
BILE method of farm practice TO follow.
For instance. one small farm in Geor-
gia of thirty acres. which was planted
TO lettuce made an average revenue of
81 600 per acre. Another farmer refus-
ed $500 for forty acres devoted to
Irish potatoes. This was the price Of
fered him even before the potatoes were
dug.
According 10 the Investigations OF
the farm management department of
the State College of Agriculture. the
best results I'm financial way were
one-fourth to one-third OF the land was
planted in cotton. When the area was
smaller the relative profits decreased.
The point I desire TO make here is that
the size OF the operations on a given
farm is likely TO be the determining
factor in the profits obtained from the
particular kind of farming followed
Ii appears to be certain that in a part
of the coastal plains region, and posi-
bly, in other areas of the southern
states. a reduction i'm cotton acreage
will be necessary where the boil weevfl
has established itself, hence some sub
stitute crop for cotton, as revenue
producer, must be found. This should
not be as difficult as some people seem
to think for in many instances the cot
ton farmer has not secured a large re-
turn from his efforts. In fact accord
ing to such surveys as have been made
in Georgia up to the present time, II
would appear that a yield of 800 to 500
pounds of cotton per acre was neces-
sary 10 insure the land owner of rea-
sonably good income. whereas a yield
of l76 to 2T5 pounds did not Il should
be borne i'm mind IN this connection that
many farmers do not obtain yields
above those which proved to be unprof-
liable. In Brooks county, for instance.
farmers who produced as much as 25S
pounds of cotton only obtained profit
of $500 per acre. Since this was be-
fore the coming of the weevil ii is easy
TO see that if it's damages prove at all
destructive the cultivation of cotton
under the methods of management pre-
vfousIy followed will not afford the
farmer any profit on his operations.

Food Planting Schedule
Adopted by Conference
For Use IN the Southeast

, mediately announced the appointment OF
the ways and means committee, with DR..
A. NJ. Soule, president of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture at Athens,
as chairman. This committee at once re-
tired TO make up their recommendation
of ways and means of securing increas-
ed food crop production. While they
were out, Carl Vrooman, first assistant
secretary Of the United States depact-
ment of agriculture, who has been sp"-
cially assigned by President Wilson to
the campaign for increased food produc-
tion in the south, made very interest,"
ing and sensible talk on diversifcation
and the prevention of waste on the
farm.
The report of the ways and means
committee included the above food plant
ing schedule for the average one horse
farm, and included the following other
steps 10 secure increased food produc-
ton:
First, that the United States depart
ment of agriculture be asked to direc.
the county demonstrate ton agents to aid
and encourage the farmers in every way
to raise more food
Second, that a food planting schedule
be recommended to the farmers, mer-
chants and bankers. (This schedule be-
ing give above.)
agriculture and state agricultural col
leges, and all other state agencies, be
urged to cooperate and assist in the
raising of food crops.
Fourth, that commercial bodies, the
newspapers the railroads, the women's
organizations the farmers organiza-
tions, the school ,authorities and all other
organizations be urged to spread the
gospel of increased food crop produc-
tion.
/, Fifth, that the governors of south
eastern states be asked to issue procla-
nation impresing upon the farmers their
duty, for reasons of patriotism and self
preservation, to plant more food crops.
Sixth, that economy ne preached and
practiced on every hand.
When this report was submitted, E. w.
Dabbs, a prominent farmer of Sumter.
S. c., made some criticism of the food
planting schedule. claiming it was not
practical of adoption. On motion of
J. ID. Price, former commissioner of ag-
riculture Of Georgia and now director
of the state experiment station at Exper-
iment Ga. moved that DIR. Soule and
Mr. Dabbs retire and reconcile the diff
ference between their respective sched-
ules. This motion was adopted, the two
retired, and presently returned with the
schedule given above, which was
adopted.

vetch or spring oats. We would pre-
fer to grow an early maturing variety
of corn to be fed green and followed
by a patch devoted to an early matur-
ing variety of cowpeas and millet. Next
we would have a section devoted to
soy beans, one to peanuts and one to
sorghum and velvet beams
OF course, if you desire to secure a
large return from non-legumlnous
crops, we would advise that you use
200 pounds of acid phosphate and a
sack of cottonseed meal. Under the
legumes you need only use the acid
phosphate.
Some such combination as we have
suggested will afford the maximum
amount of feed for small area of land
and will provide a variety of forage
and grain suitable to feed to the classes
of animals you mention.
