Corn Soy ne.n. for s,lnse.

When planting that corn for the silo.
try five or six acres with soy beans
planted with the corn. In several de-
monstration the HolIybrooks have
proven superior to other varities. since
they grow tall enough for harvesting
with the corn binder and are erect.
Inoculate the seed, and. above all.
don't let it get into the ground more
than an inch deep. One of our de-
monstrators last year in soft ground
used disk truck on the planter tongue
TO keep the planter from putting the
soy beans in too deep.
With regular soy bean attachment,
the beans can be put right in the hill
with the corn.
Last year. several farmers thought
the corn was better where the beans
grew with It. I can hardly believe 1t,
but this year We are putting the mat
er to a test on twenty-six different
farms and results will be published
later.

DOUBLING PEANUT YIELD;
IT'S EASY ENOUGH MATTER
IL Is Pretty Much All In the Way One
BeEins-Think OF Ii.

j. T Joplin has this to say in the
Progressive Farmer:
How can we double the yield Of pea-
nuts this year? Mainly by planting
more and better seed. Not one-fourth
or the peanut raisers get real good
stand OF peanuts.
Instead OF planting one and one-half
hoshels or fairly good peanuts to the
acre. plant little more than two
nusheis OF the fairly good peanuts that
nave been culled. For instance take
about four bushels of your fairly good
seed peanuts. pour them out on a
wagon sheet or anywhere so you can
assert them. putting all the apparent
~ good double pods to the side for
planting This does not fake any great
deal OF time. can be done at night and
is the only way TO get good seed. Even
then there will be plenty OF faulty
ones planted.
The space where the peanuts grow
IN the ground Is near the main root:
they do not take upon an average
space more than from four to six
inches in diameter. Where two kerr
nels come up do we'll they may take
little more space, but there will be
enough faulty ones to give to that
space. An apparently good pod. sun
posed to contain two good kernels.
should be planted from four to six
inches apart
Say that you raise twenty bushels
TO the acre and could get forty, which
can easily be done. To double your
amount Of seed and get real good seed
would not cost you over SIS more than
your one and one-half bushels of your
fairly good seed. The extra hay you
would get would more than pay that
and fer the extra la Dor. too. and you
would have twenty more bushels that
did not cost you penny. only a little
