velvet BEANS GOOD
FOR MARKET STEERS
Compare FavorabIy With Cotton
seed Meal for Fattening.
Results Given Of Experiments Con-
Quoted at Government Farm
More Profitable to Feed Soaked
Beans Than to Grind Them.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Corn silage and velvet beans are
said to form satisfactory ration for
fattening steers for market. This Is
the result of feeding experiments just
completed at the United States depart
ment of agriculture farm ut Beltsville,
Md.
Other points brought out by the tests
indicate: that velvet beans compare
favorably with cottonseed meal. pro-
ducing profitable gains when the beans
are the sole concentrate Of the ration;
that it is more profitable to feed
soaked beans than it is to grind them;
and that more beans will be eaten II
soaked before they are fed than if they
are fed dry.
The objects of the experiment we're
to compare velvet beans in three forms
whole, ground, and soaked-with cot
tonseed meal as supplements to corn
silage and dry roughages, and to de-
termine the most economical forms in
which velvet beans might be fed in fat
tening cattle for market. Incidentally
It was hoped that the tests would show
possibilities of grain conservation In
the production Of beef as wartime
measure.
The cattle used in the tests were
40 good two-year-old steers in which
short-horn blood predominated. They
were bought last February in the East
St. Louis market, where they were Sc
lected out of shipments from Illinois
and Missouri, and were in fair stocker
condition when placed on the expert
mental feeding rations. They were
divided into four lots of ten steers
each. the lots selected so that they
would be as nearly equal as possible
in weight, quality and condition. They
were fed for 112 days.
The average daily ration consumed
by lot I was: 4.39 pounds of cotton
seed meal, 1912 pounds Of corn silage,
and APO pounds Of dry roughage. This
lot made an average daily gain of $50
pounds, at a cost OF about II cents a
pound, or $1197 hundred.
Lot II consumed an average daily
ration of 7.59 pounds Of dry, whole
velvet beans, 26.S5 pounds Of corn
silage. and 4.15 pounds Of dry rough
age. This lot made an average daily
gain of 1.73 pounds head, at cost
of about IA cents a pound, or $14.12 a
hundred.
Lot III ate each day an average of
5.S7 pounds of velvet-bean meal, 1862
pounds Of corn silage, and 40 pounds
Of dry roughage. The animals made
an average daily gain Of 1.54 pounds,
at cost of about IA cents a pound,

If the best results are to be attained
In potato production, greater care must
be given to the development Of high
grade seed potatoes than is the present
practice. Wherever the climatic and
soil conditions are such as to make it
possible to produce good quality of
seed potatoes, each grower should have
his own seed plat. In the selection OF
seed potatoes it should be borne in
mind that the hill rather than the indi-
vidual tuber is the unit. The method
which is most certain to lead to i'm
prOvement Is that of hill selection.
There are various ways of procedure
in the practice of hill selection, but
the one most likely to give the best re-
suits is that of marking the best plants
in the field or the seed plat before the
foliage begins to ripen and digging
them by hand just before harvesting
the main crop.
Examine Each Plant.
The product of each individual plant
should be examined separately, and
only those that show uniformity in
size and shape and that have produced
a maximum number of merchantable
tubers should be selected. Each select
ed hill should be given a number,
sacked separately. and careful rec
ord made. The following season the
tubers Of each selection should be
planted separately in order that their
behavior may be noted throughout the
growing season. 1t will be found that
many of them possess no superiority
over the general run Of field stock, but
a few will be decidedly good. A large
number of these progeny can be
marked for discard before they are
harvested. At harvesting time the
progeny of each promising selection

should again be studied carefully and
only those which seem to possess SUI
perior merits retained. If it is possible
to reduce these to one or two, 1t is de-
sirable to do so. Further progress
along this line consists in increasing
the progeny of the selection or selec-
lions as rapidly as possible. At the
end of the third season sufficient
quantity should be available to plant
the field crop. It is desirable to main
tain seed plat each year and to con-
tinue the process of hill selection and
the development of pure strains. In
order to practice potato selection In
diligently it is necessary to have a
true conception of the type Of the
variety or varieties being used.
Immature Seed.
Relatively few growers in the United
States really maintain a seed plat,
and still fewer practice planting the
seed plat at a considerably later date
than the main crop in order to secure
small to medium-sized immature tu-
bers. as is the custom with many Eng
lish and Scotch seedsmen. In planting
the seed plat designed for the pro-
duction Of seed for the main crop the
following season, it is desirable to
plant two or three-ounce whole tubers.
The use of whole tubers insures per-
feet stand and a minimum percentage
of diseased plants. At the same time,
as a result of late planting and the
heavy set produced by whole seed, the
tubers do not attain large size and
are thus ideal for seed purposes. The
date of planting the seed plat SHOULD
be governed by the locality in which
the potatoes are to be grown. In gen.
eral, it might be said that the seed
plat should be planted as late as 1t IS
possible to insure a good tuber devel-
opment before the plants are killed by
the frost in the autumn.
