WITH THE FARMERS.
III You Want Commercial
Fertilizers Order Them Soon

There are several who have already
left orders with the County Agent for
some commercial fertilizers. How
ever there is not enough for car
load and several more orders are
needed to make enough for that
amount.
The work Of Mr. Geo Davies your
county agent of last year shows that
the farmers that used commercial
fertilizers in Grant County received
a good increase in yield per acre
which paid for the fertilizer several
times over. You only need to turn to
the county agents report you received
last year and you will find the exact
data where the crops from unferti-
iizer and fortified fields were weighed
up, showing, the excellent increase Of
production
How About Your Soy Bean Seedg
Soy beans have been grown in the
corn or silage by most OF the farmers
who have silos and some have grown
them in the corn fields that they had
planted for hogging down. Their val
lie as protein producing plant is not
at all questioned, especially for silage
purposes. For hog feeding they are
best to be planted in separate Held
so the hogs can be turned in at an
earlier date thean when planted in the
corn. The reason for this is that
when the hogs are turned in to the
corn, unless they have learned to eat
soy beans before, they will overlook
them and choose the corn in prefer
ance. 1t is best to get variety that
will mature early neough so the hogs
can clean up the soy beans just be-
fore they are being turned in the corn
in that way good growth is stimulated
by the soy bean pasture and the fat
from the corn will be quick and fast.
Soy bean seed is still more or less
scarce because most farmers only
want enough to plant with the corn
or little hog pasture, raising no seed
for themselves. Another reason is
that soy bean varieties are numerous
and we are still looking for variety
that will give us good satisfaction.
The Medium Green are recommend
ed as one of the best varieties to
liant with corn for silage, and the Ito
San, the Manschu and the Early
Blacks can be used for hay and pas
ture.
Poultry culling demonstrations have
been arranged for at the following
rural schools: Shutdown, Feb. %;
Dist II, Fenimore, Mar. IA; Reynolds
school, Bloomington, Mar. Is. A prun-
ing demonstration has been asked for
en- Walter Vesperman's farm. If any
others wish demonstration notify
the county agent.

him. The Herald feels that Tony will
