Soy Benas

In the demonstration this year at
Sunset Ridge Farm. Fairfield. six va
rieties OF soy beans were planted
Virgihm, Ito San, Manchu. Wilson,
MAMMOTH yellow and Haberandt or
these six varieties the IIaberlandt was
much the rankest and most vigorous
growerSprOduring nearly twice as
much fosage as did any Of the others.
This variety Is Of the bush type.
While II Is late maturing still nj time
of harvesting for the silo there were
many pTtially filled pods The Ito
San and Manchu were practically
Identical of dwarf bush type prodnc-
ing but small amount of fodder.
Most of the plants when cut had rip
ened their seeds The Wilson and
Mammoth Yellow Soy in manner of
growth and length of season resem-
, liled the .iIaberlandt but failed to
nroducR anything like the vine growth
made by that variety. The Virginia
IA trailing variety. late maturing
and producing fairly good growth
nf vine.
From the above descriptions ii will
be clearly seen that of the six varie-
aies tried the lIaberlandt proved much
the most desirable.
4, These beans were planted at the
rate of three quarts per acre. The
seed was mixed with the ensilage
corn seed and run through the corn
plonter. This rate of seeding seems
-.aatisfaetory. for it gave a good stand
of beans, while n larger proportion OF
beans to corn would he likely 10 les
yfsens the sstand of the corn. AS We
.sytere lmable 10 get the culture in time
for planting. the seed was not inocn-
lated. Consequently none OF the
plants. 80 far as we could discover
shaved any nodular development.
Next year we shall certainly inocu-
late the plants TO draw their nitro
gen from the air instead of from the
eirpplySip the soil.
. rarhe Experiment showed that where
the. bedna were planted with ensilagc
corn that was drilled in thickly the
beans gaye bnt4a poor stand and little
growths .Bnt where. the corn was
planted in hills two feet apart the
beans made a vigorous growth.
There seems nothing to lose by
planting soy beans with enslage
corn. They do not lessen the amount
of corn forage produced. They do
not materially Increase the labor or
cultivation. They are easily har-
vested with the binder and bound into
the bundles with the corn. Thus the
bean fodder obtained is pure gain Of
a material from two or three times
richer In protein than ensilage corn
fodder.
While the result of one years cx-
pertinent Is by no means conclusive
still l.from. what we have learned this
season we 'shal. next year plant for
the silo in this way: With each six
teen quarts Of New York Mammoth
Flint we shall mix three quarts Of in
ocnlated, Haberlandt soy beans. And
VIC shall use these nineteen quarts to
mn acre, planting in hills two feet
apart.

Have Farmers. Read Crop Reports

To the Editor:
The idea seems TO prevail that there
is a shortage of potatoes and that II
is good policy to hold for high
prices. have got done prophecy
ing, but it seems to me that farmers
generally have not read carefully the
crop reports that most of them re-
ceive.
The final estimate of Nov. / gave
me IL million bushels more than last
year. New York has 10 million less,
hut together they have 8 million more
than last year. The total crop Is
below the year average. The short
age Is in the territory around Chi
cago. Under these circumstances,
we would expect the price to he high
err But 1t is not. II rules 20 to
30 cents below Boston. The final
destination of cars shipped. shows
they are all being marketed In New
York and New England, with q few
going to Florida and Texas for seed.
In fact 1t would be difficult to ship
West If the market was higher be-
cause of the railroads will not allow
heater cars to 20 so far from home
So II all comes back to the PROPOSE
tion, that we must market crop &
million larger than last year In the
same territory. viz: New England and
New York. cannot see how prices
can he higher. In fact 1t seems to
me that the only thing that has kept
them up so far has been the fact that
farmers are disposed to hold rather
than sell II is not pleasant to he
Jonah. but Jonah got it out of his
system and that helps some.

it is expected also that Tammany Hall

probably will be one whose name has

to the last ELECTION, and will also fix the
basis of representation for State and

issued for the judiciary conventions and
for the State convention to nominate a

of representation is concerned IL Is likely
TO be fixed at two from each Assembly

one for each $500 votes cast for the
