FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK

AGENT FOR GRANT PARISH

southern states within recent
years is the velvet bean. BY
comparison Sudan grass, soy
beans and other crops that have
been introduced are but tran
sients. 1t is adapted to both hill
and bottom land, and is the
most vigorous growing legume
adapted to field culture.
For soil improvement the vel
vet bean is the best annual grown
in the south. 1t is better than
cowpeas because it makes more
growth. The Alabama Expert
ment Station found that one
crop of velvet beans plowed into
the soil increased the amount OF
seed cotton produced per acre
from 918 pounds to 1,578 pounds
or an increase of geo pounds due
to the bean vines. The yield of
corn was increased from 1876 to
25.9 bushels per acre or almost
doubled. The North Carolina
Experiment Station found that
corn after cotton produced 2O.7
bushels per acre while on similar
soil corn after velvet beans pro-
duced 36.5 bushels. 1t is safe
to say that a crop of velvet bean
vines plowed into any field will
increase subsequent crops for
| two or more years.
However great the value OF
velvet beans as a soil improving
crop perhaps their greatest
value is brought out only when
fed to livestock, especially cat
tie, hogs and sheep. The chem
ical composition of velvet bean
meal made by grinding the pods
and beans together is about the
same as wheat bran now com
. handing prohibitive prices. The
Alabama Experiment Station
. compared velvet beans in the pot
> with cottonseed meal as feed TO-
d steers and found two pounds O
$ beans about equal to one pount
of cortonseed meal. AS a fee'
for milk cows both the Georgi
and Florida Experiment Station
have found velvet beans in tn
T pod practically equal to cotton
/ seed meal. The Georgia STATIC
found that when the pods wer

were equal to 1000 pounds Q
cottonseed meal. 1t should b
NOTED here that the grain OF
n tanned from the meal over tn

ALSAP WINDING UP
 AFFAIRS IF TEXAS
 GLOBE O|L COMPANY

Tn an attempt to wind up the affairs Gas company, Guy Alsap, receiver, has sent out letters to all the bona fide stockholders requesting them to fill out blank attached showing the num- Der of shares held and the amount paid for them.
 It is the plan then to reissue new stock in the Texas World Oil and Gas company of an equal value as that paid for the stock in the defunct company.
 The Texas World oil and Gas con- pany has acquired all of the assets of the Texas Globe Oil and Gas com pany and in addition has other hold ings in the Texas oil fields.
 The court recently authorized the sale of the assets ofvthe Texas Globe Oil and Gas company to the Texas World oil and Gas company for 750,00O of the capital stock of this latter corporation. The Texas Globe Oil and Gas company is to be dis solved and it's affairs wound up under the orders of the court and the 75o,- 900 shares of the capital stock of the Texas Word Oil and Gas company is to be distributed as the assets of the dissolved corporation.
 This distribution is to be made un- der the direction of the corporation commission of Arizona and the orders of the court. The amount of this stock to be distributed to present bona fide stockholders of the dissolved i corportion is to depend on the con- sideration paid for the stock.
 The corporation commission has is- sued permit to the Texas World Oil and Gas company to sell 300.O00 shares of stock at 20 cents per share with commission and expense not to exceed 25 per cent. the proceeds of which are to be devoted toward the development of it's properties.
