SOY BEANS WILL EN- DURE
COLD

|
Many farmers are giving the
just now to the matter of having
an early crop of corn to hog of
in time to get their hogs ready
for the high market in late Aug
ust and early September. Most
of them want to plant soybeans
with theor corn for the purpose
but som fea that the beans
might be killed by frost.
In this connection it will be
of interest to these farmers to
know that according to J. c. Nc
Amis, agronomy specialist, Div
ision of Extenson, University of
Tennessee, soy beans plant ed
with corn will withstand as much
frost as corn. Neither can endure
heavy frost but Mr.. Nc Amises
states that soybeans will endure
frost much better than cowpeas,
the latter being easily killed by
frost and do not grow in cool
weather as do soybeans.
In view ofthe fact that most of
the corn cribs i'll Tennessee are
practically empty due to short
corn crop last year, it is highly
important that some early crops
for the faeding of hogs for the
early fall market be started as
soon as possible.
One gallon of soybeans should
be planted to the acre in the row
with corn. These crops together
produce more feed than either
planted alone and results were
ever the combination has been
tried, hsvebeen very satisfae tory
The acreage of soybeans plant
ed with corn for the purpose of
affordlng early feed for hogs, has
shown a marked increase in Ten
nessee the last few years. The ar
rangement has resulted in more
profit for the number of acres in
cultivatino and in cheaper pro-

TESTS INCREASE PRODUC-
TON OF COWS -

I at cow testing associat.
ION, are of great value IN increas
ing fine production of dairy
almost every day by reports of
the various associations which
now exi"3 in Tennessee. The
production is raised not only
along thelie of individual per-
Torrance but in averages as
we'll.
The TriCounty Cow Testing
Association, which is a combin-
alton of three separate associat
ions, formerly in operation in
Loudon, Monroe and McMinn
couties finished a years work
recently with very satisfactory
resulsts. The Monroe and the
McMnn associations had beer in
operation only one year prev
ious to the combination, and
under rather unsatisfactory con
ditions, due to the unsettled state
of affaira turnout the country.
The LOudon Association was in
operation for two years previous
to the formatio of the Tri-Coun-
ty Association and results in this
county along the line of increas-
ed production are more marked.
The production of a .Loudon
County herd for thepastthree
year" under test demonstrates
clearly the vaue of COW testing
work in raising production. In
1917 herd of sixteen cows pro-
duced an average of 3,249.6 lbs.
Of milk, and 164.57 pounds of
1utterfat. The best individual
record wa" 3969.9 pounds of milk
and 2O4:14 pounds of butterfat.
In 1918 this herd was increased
in number, even tho there was
a sric culling out of poor prod
lcing animals. Twenty two co
vs. made a yearly average of a,
1911 pounds of milk and 2I4.55
pounds of butterfat. The high
'st individual record was 1915.
- pounds of milk and 279.35
pounds of butterfet. Thus in one
'ear the production average of |

'sn larged, was increased 881.5 |
pounds of milk and 1898 lbs. |

or the butterfat this increase
would mean $29.98 a COW in cash

In 1919 this same herd etill
