Often in a niche in the wall of a
inset window close to the ground there

Tomah-County Agricultural Agent
David Davidson has begun a strenu-
Gus campaign among farmers of Mon
roe county for the planting of legumi-
nous crops. making an appeal for in
creased acreage of soy beans. He is
particularly showing the great value of
this crop as a forage plant and for
soil building. During recent years,
our farming classes have not done
much with the soy bean, but his ap-
'peals for this crop are receiving a
great deal of encouragement, and, as
there is no doubt of the distinct ad-
vantage to the farmers of this value
giving plant, it is expected that con-
siderably increased acreage will result
