PREPARATION FOR SOY BEANS
Soil Free From clods lnsures Best Re-

That for Corn.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
The preparation Of the soil for the
soy bean is similar to that for corn,
and 1t, like corn, readily responds to
any extra preparation. The land should
be plowed early and deep, fitted. and
then narrowed ut intervals until the
beans are planted; otherwise, weeds
are likely to choke out the young
plants. Disking will give the proper
preparation after a crop Of early po-
tatOes or peas or for stubble land after
wheat or winter oats, provided the soil
is moist and mellow. A firm seeded
with a light, loose covering Of fine soil,
well smoothed by the harrow, is con-
ducive to uniform depth in planting
and to a good stand Of plants. A soil
free from clods insures the best re-
suits, especially in seeding broadcast.

GREAT IMPORTANCE OF ICE
Appreciated More in Country Home
Than in City-Indispensabie for
Dairy Products.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of A~griculture.)
An ample supply Of ice Is of greater
economic Importance in the country
home than in the city home. City
people can purchase perishable sup
plies as needed, but the remoteness OF
country homes from markets often
renders it necessary to use canned,
cOrned or smoked meat products dur
ing the season Of the ear when the
table should be supplied with fresh
meats. Not only is Ice appreciated be-
cause of its use In the preservation
Of fresh meat, butter, and other table
supplies, but the production of high
grade domestic dairy products is al
most impossible without 1t. Many
markets to which milk is now shipped
demand that it be cooled before ship
ment to a degree not attainable with
out the use of ice.
