AS FOOD FOR CATTLE
The Velvet Bean Stands ut the top
i of the List

Is there any other farm crop better
for cattle than velvet beans. Profess
ssor ]. NJ. Scott of the Florida Expert
ment Station does not think there is.
He says that the velvet beans claim
on first place is due to the ease by
which it can be Grown and harvested
and to its soil-improying characters
tic.
That velvet beans is valuable feed
for both beef and dairy cattle, has
been proven by experiments conduct
ed by Prof. Scott. The beans and
hulls compare favorably with the best
grades of wheat bran and shorts, as
to feeding value. They can be fed
alone or in combination with other
materials. 1t IS best to mix with
other substances for the sake of pal
atability and to make the feed more
balanced. Fer beef production equal
parts corn and velvet beans make
good combination. For milk produc-
ton one of the best mixtures is: vel
vet bean meal zoo pounds, cornmeal
400 pounds, wheat bran 200 pounds,
peanut meal LOO pounds, alfalfa meal
100 pounds.
Another, important factor in favor
of velvet beans is their soil-improv-
ing quality. 1t is hard to find crop,
or fertilizer, if applied in reason
able amounts, that will enrich the soil
more than win a growth of velvet
beans turned under. The crop may
be srazed OFF by cattle or hogs al
9ewsG TO run on the land In this
case. if they are kept continuously on
hhe land in order that their droppings
viii be in the field, practically no>fer-
tilizing value will be lost to the SOIL |
In this way the bean crop is used to
a double purpose, as cow food and as
a soil improver, and makes te crop
worth fully twice as much as if used !
Tor only one purpose

RED ROT OF SUGAR CANE
Characteristics OF the Disease and
How Treated.

Red rot of sugar cane is a fungous
disease that may appear in any cane
field. 1t does not usually show itself
until after the cane has been bedded
q few months. Il develops more rap
idly if the cane in the bed becomes
dry, says A. P. Spencer, yice-director
of agricultural extension. For that
reason cane will usually keep better
NJ bedded in shallow piles with all
fhe stalks lying close to the ground.
Red rot shows itself by red streaks,
located in the pith of the stalk. These
red streaks border off into white
spots in typical cases of red rot. If
the cane planted last year had any of
this appearance, and if any of the
stalks showed stInted growth, it is
almost certain that it was infected.
If diseased cane is laid in q bed
with good cane, the entire bed is like
iy TO become diseased. Anyone sus-
pecting red rot 20 be present in his
field should by all means avoid saving
at for seed.
At this time Of the year the disease
usually has not spread thru the canes
to make it worthless for syrup.
Therefore, the best disposition to
make of infected cane is to grind it
for syrup. The following means of
control have been recommended:
4. Plant only healthy canes. Amy
canes showing even the slightest dis
celebration of the interior should be
discarded.
2. AS an extra preventive the Sc
lected canes may be dipped in Dor

deaux mixture just before being
planted. This will kill any fungus
that may have gotten onto the cut
ends or surfaces.
3. Whenever possible plant the
canes in the fall instead of bedding
them. In the southern part of the
state 1t is not too late to plant now.
This does away with contamination in
the bed.
4. Select the more resistant vari-
cites for seed.
5. Burn all trash in the old bed,
and all diseased cane.
