PREPARATION FOR SOY BEANS
Soil Free From cIods Insures Best Re-
sults-Work Is Quite Similar to
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 it, like corn, readily responds to
any extra preparation. The land should
be plowed early and deep, fitted, and
then narrowed at intervals until the
beans are planted; otherwise, weeds
are likely to choke out the young
plants. Disking will give the proper
preparation after 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 light, loose covering of fine soil,
well smoothed by the harrow, is. con-
ducive to uniform depth in planting
and to good stand of plants. A soil
free from clods insures the best re-
suits, especially In seeding broadcast.

PROPER SOIL FOR SOY BEANS
Crop Does Not Require Much Drainage
for Best DeveIopment-Too Much
Water Harmful.

ment of Agriculture)
The soy bean does not require we'll
drained soil for it's best development,
although 1t will not succeed where wa
ter stands for any considerable length
of time. Swamp and peat soils, after
being drained and lined, have usually
been found to produce this crop very
well. Soy beans will thrive on soils
that are too acid for the successful cul-
ture of red clover.

Any herd of cattle built on a founda-
ton of diseased stock cannot survive
probably for any length of time. The
wise breeder who is establishing a
herd, therefore, will see that his orig
inal stock comes from herds known to
be free from disease and that the ami
mails have not been otherwise exposed.
More than that, the established breed
er, to safeguard the health of his herd
and meet the increasing demand for
healthy stock, should use every means
at hand to maintain herd known to
be healthy.

100000 club members. Many farm
boys under the age of eighteen are
being instructed by club agents and
county agents in doing a mans work
on the farm. The emergency enroll
ment is an effort to get hold of all
boys who are taking on the added bur-
dens of the war time and to give them
credit for their extraordinary efforts.
The average yield of corn raised by
the members of the boys clubs
throughout the 10 southern states was
1877 bushels per acre. There were no
boys who made more than 100 bushels
per acre, and some good records were
made by boys in other farm crops.
Results of Pig Clubs.
Pig clubs conducted in cooperation
with the bureau of animal industry
of the United States department of ag-
riculture are popular. Thousands Of
purebred pigs have been distributed
among the boys with excellent results.
Purebred hogs are becoming well dis
tributed throughout every part of the
South.
Short, practical courses in agricul-
ture for club boys are held in each
county, where all the club members
attend and receive instruction. In adj
dition to the short courses held in the
counties one is also held at the agri-
cultural college where the prize win
ners are brought for a week or two
weeks instruction. The boys clubs
are stimulating farm boys to enter the
agricultural colleges to continue their
agricultural training. In one state in
1917, 21S club boys entered the agri-
cultural college.
