A. H. McCollum near Reagan has
a crop of soy beans that is great.
One seldom sees such a sight. The
yield of hay promises to be inn

this new crop. He plans to save
seed from some of the beans he has
in his corn. Wheat will be sown
on this same field this year.

What is more profitable than a
flock of sheep just now? Get your
neighborhood interested. We heard
q man recently mention that the
capital was a serious problem. We
know men of small means who
have started in a small way and
now have gtod sized flocks. Get a
few sheep. Build better and larger
pastures as the flock increses and
you will find this type of livestock
industry profitable. We believe
that the biggest problem in sheep
raising in this county is furnishing
the proper amount and number Of
pastures. W. I. McCollum started
in small way and now has good
sized flock.

AS a rule there has been more
trouble about getting the club boys
to not feed too much of some feeds

Cottage Cheese is a valuable food;

We heard of a man this week
who was very much dissatisfied
with soybeans that he had planted
in his corn. We also noted that the
drill had lunches of crab grass in it.
This is no exaeeration but stated
just as we saw it and heard it. Or
dinarilly we never like to see the
turn pillow used for cultivation but
we would have been tempted to
either have used it or the hoe In
order to stop the grass. If we had
seen no crab grass in the corn we
would have felt that the beans had
done much damege. However in
some cases we know that soybeans
will reduce the yield of corn but yet
we know that the feeding value of
the land will be increased at the
same time. That is what we want.

remember that absolutely none of

any motion that could be considered
