SUGGESTIONS For HAN swept District.

&
Because of the severe electrical hail
storm which swept over large area
of Carroll county last week, doing
much damage to crops, in some places
washing the corn out. cutting off the
wheat and peas, some suggestions as
to the planting of such fields may be
of some benefit to the farmers in this
section.
The wheat crop was not damaged
over twenty-five per cent and but
few fields will have to be plowed up.
Some fields of peas were washed out
or cut off by the hail. These fields
could be planted with stringless beans
If near cannery. If the farmer is
short of hay, soy beans make an ex-
#cellent hay. The growing of soy beans
for seed is not practical in Carroll
as much as it might be both to the
profit of the farmer and the land.
AS they are a great soil improyer an
average of 13 bu. per acre with a price
of from S. to So per bushel with soil
improvement makes it a crop worth
considering.
Late sweet corn can still be planted,
using the fields for hog pasture by
paintings mixture of sweet corn and
rape, corn and soy beans, oats and
rape. Feeding crops to hogs without
having to harvest it is profitable
