SOY DEANS

Chas. Swindell Of Masonville, was
an office caller and left . package of
soy beans plant which he raised dur
ing the past season. These plants were
wonderfully filled with pods and had
matured nicely. Mr.. Swindell believes
that the soy bean needs good rich
soil and that the Medium EARLY Yellow
Is good variety for this locality.
Other farmers who have raised this
same variety during the past season
report good results. The Farm Bureau
would like to learn OF any other va

rieties which have proved successful.
Men who are growing soy beans with
the corn for ensilage purposes believe
it is one way to reduce the cost of
producing milk or feeding cattle. The
Couny Agent suggests that the farmers
in the various townships conduct some
experiments with soy beans through
their local Farm Bureau organizations.
In. this way they can learn the var
ieties which are best adapted. Those
who wish to secure seeds buy it now
as it will give them chance to test
out the seed before planting and
further, 1t is evidenced that the price
will advance as spring approaches.

FARM INTERESTS TO BE WELL RE.
PRESENTED IN NEW CONFERENCE

lFkESENTED In NEW CONFEkENCE
It is expected that definite action
will be taken by congress Immediately
after the holiday recess authorizing
the calling Of a conference to study
at first hand the problems Of produc-
ton and sale of necessities.
Representative L. J. Dickinson of
Iowa has drafted resolution on which
an early hearing has been promised
by the house committee on agriculture.
The resolution requests the Pres
ident to call conference, the delegates
to which shall represent agricultural
labor, and capital, including stock rails
ers, cereal producers, raisers Of cotton,
producers of. wool. persons engaged
In the manufacture Of food products,
dealers and representatives of the con-
Stunning public.
It is held that an argument between
these interests would assure the far
mer market and reasonable prices for
his cattle or hogs or grain or wool
and would do away with fluctuations
which work hardship alike to the pro-
Queer and the consumer.
]. r. Howard, president Of the Nat
ional Farm Bureau Federation, will
appear before the house agricultural
committee to urge the Importance OF
holding such conference. "A resolution
supporting It was introduced by J. w.
Coverdale Of Iowa. at the recent ma
tional convention Of the federation in
Chicago, and was warmly approved.
