SOY BEANS GOOD
AS STAPLE CROP
important for Improvement Of
Soil and Possess High
Feeding Value.
HAY VERY VALUABLE FORAGE
Cattle and Horses Like II and Is More
Nutritious Than cowpeas-Waste
Beans Pastured With Swine
With Much Profit.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The soy bean is destined to take a
very important place in the agriculture
of the cotton belt, not only as means
Of improving the soil but also as a
feed and commercial crop. 1t has al
ready been grown with marked success
In many parts of the south, and in one
section of northeastern North Caro-
lima has become a staple crop.
The primary use of soy beans, as
now handled in the south, is to i'm
prove the soil. 1t is legume, and
through the bacteria that form nodules
on the roots of the plant it has power
to use the free nitrogen in the air.
Farmers say that ordinarily as result
of planting soy beans one year the
Yields of the succeeding crops are in
creased from 10 to 25 per cent, and
where soy beans ere planted in rota-
ton for several years the yields of other
crops are frequently increased by so
per cent, apparently as result of the
soy bean alone. In northeastern North
Carolina soy beans have practically
replaced cowpeas, and the soy bean
is now the only legume largely used
for soil-improvement purposes in that
section.
Feed for Live Stock.
A second use Of soy beans is as
feed for live stock. Soy-bean hay is a
valuable forage, excelling cowpea hay.
Cattle and horses like it better and II
is more nutritious. The soy-bean hulls,
stems, and leaves left from thrashing
are used for feeding livestock, and
some farmers feed nothing else to the
work stock for roughage the year
around. Waste beans left from har-
vesting, and soy beans planted in corn,
are pastured by hogs with profit. and
the forage left on the land is pastured
by cattla and horses. A field of soy
beans is sometimes hogged down with
out any other harvesting; but this is
not common practice, for the crop
can generally be used more prof1tably
in other ways. Soy beans make soft
pork, much like the peanut-fed prod

Hot, heavy foods and iced drinks
pften play havoc with bad stomachs
In hot weather. The weak ones haven't
got chance. A quickly chilled or
Overworked stomach is starter of
untold misery for its owner.
When you have that dull, depressed
feeling after eating-stomach pains,
bowel disorders, heartburn or nausea,
belching, food repeating-it is the dan
ger point. You want to look out-and
be quick about it in this hot weather.
A way has been discovered to make
sick stomachs well and to keep them
cool and sweet. 1t is commonsense
way. No starvation plan of diet is
needed. Make this test and see how
quickly you get good appetite in
hot weather and enjoy the things you
like without misery to follow.

uct. The pork may be hardened by
adding corn to the ration while pastur.
ing or by feeding on corn alone after
taking the hogs off of the soy beans.
Important Commercial Crop.
Lastly, the bean itself is an impor-
tant commercial product. The beans
are sold for seed, for canning, and for
using in other ways for human food,
and for Oil and meal. At present the
demand for seed takes large proper
ton of the beans produced. Canning
companies use the beans for mixing
with navy beans. Considerable guam
titles of beans are retailed to consum-
ers, who use them much like navy
beans. OF recent years cotton-oil mills
have been using the beans for express
ing oil and producing meal. The ma
chinery that is used for crushing cot
ton seed can be used for crushing soy
beans, and as the average cotton-oil
mill is in operation only about half the
year these mills can be used without
added cost of equipment for handling
soy beans. A ton Of soy beans, 33 1-3
bushels, will yield approximately 240
pounds of oil and 1920 pounds of meal,
the amount depending upon the char
acter of the beans and the efficiency Of
the manufacturing operations.

English Meat Cards.

Meat can be purchased in metropol-
itan districts in England only under
the card system, which is to be extend
ed throughout the United Kingdom.
The childs meat card is for children
under ten years of age, who are enti-
tied to only half as much meat as
adults.
Horse meat, bones, suet and offal
are included among the products for
the purchase of which cards are neces-
sary. No one is exempt; even the roy
al family is on meat-card basis. The
rightly of control may be judged from
the fact that forgery of cards is pun
ishable by heavy fine and that in case
of death, the card must be surrender
ed before burial permit is granted.

PROPER MANNER FOR
HANDLING HAY CROP
When Exposed to Successive
Rains 1t Is Injured in Quality.
Many Farmers With Small Acreage
Disregard DewfaII and Prefer to

Hay Chance to Wilt.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture.)
1t is matter of common knowledge
that hay exposed to successive rains is
injured in quality and loses in aroma
and palatability. A light rain or a
heavy dew does, but little injury to
freshly cut hay in the swath. Indeed,
many farmers whose acreage is not
large disregard dewfall and prefer to
NOW hay in the afternoon, thus giving
the hay a chance to wilt overnight.
Rain causes partly cured hay to be-
come bleached and moldy, and con-
tinued warm rains dissolve and carry
away considerable portion of the nu.
trients.
Hay should never be raked, cooked,
or put into the stack or barn when

If rain comes on when the hay is
partly cured in the swath, 1t is bad
practice to rake 1t into windows, for
it will be damaged no more in the
swath than in the windrow. Hay that
gets wet in the windrow will have to
be spread out later to dry. The same
holds true about cooking. In case Of
rain, nothing is gained by hurriedly
cooking or punching hay that is almost
cured, unless large hay caps are put
on the cock, When such hay is rushed
into the cock it will not turn water
and will be wet all the way through,
and If not scattered out after the rain
is over will soon begin to heat and

completed the work and It was esti-
mated it had about 200 men in class
cne- while board number Two had not
completed the work. but averages in
dictated il would have about 325 men
in the first class.
These figures include physical IN
fits. and when the final examinations
are made they will be excluded, so
that the net total OF class one men

The boards viii not send out classi-
fication card notices to registrants

Pending receipt OF these forms, the
county board will begin Tuesday af-
ternoon examining class one men. re-
ceiving 20 daily until the list has been

That so comparatively few men are
in the first class results from the fact
that fully half Of the registrants in

Americas biggest shell loading
plant is gone; there are other plants
in operation, still others under con-
struction. work at all is seriously re-
tarded by lack Of labor. The ordnance
department states that the immediate
labor shortage in existing munition
plants is 5000. and even greater
mum bers for army construction pro-
iects The only way TO make good
the loss in shells needed by Pershing' S
men is to fill this labor shortage at
once In view OF these facts, a reallo-
cation of total labor demands among
the states will be made at once, the
requirements IN your state VIII tax

Americans are not afraid either in
the trenches or at posts OF danger at

Conditions serious; men must come
forward and offer their services En-
ployers Of labor classed nonessential,
