BEANS IN CORN BUILD
UP SOILS AT LOW COSTS

With corn and soybeans in the best
stage for hogging off in practically
all parts of the state, many Kentucky
farmers are finding that growing the
beans in the same row with corn Of
fers a means of bringing about con.
siderable soil improvement at small
cost. Results being obtained by far.
mers in all sections of the state who
co-operated with the extension divis.
ion of the College of Agriculture in
conducting demonstrations on their
farms show that nitrogen valued as
high as $11.5O was obtained through
the use of about 80 cents worth OF
bean seed.
The highest value in nitrogen pro-
duced during the summer that has
been reported up to the present time
was the $11.50 worth obtained by H.
j. Miller, a Warren county farmer,
who lives near Bowling Green. An
other farmer in the same county who
grew beans in corn obtained $5.44
worth of nitrogen from each acre of
his beans, while third Warren coun-
ty farmer, R. H. Meng, had soybeans
that produced $8.16 worth of nitrogen
an acre. Howard Meng, of the same
county, obtained $6.46 worth of nj
trogen from each acre of beans which
he grew with corn.
Good stands of beans were obtain
ed in each of these four cases despite
the fact that the soybeans were
grown with corn. In addition, each
farmer reported that the yield of his
corn had been reduced little, if any.
by the beans. The stand of beans
was heaviest on the farm of Mr. Mil
Ter where five bean stalks were
found to every one of corn. Eighty
per cent of the nitrogen produced,
which is the most expensive plant
food element required by Kentucky
soils. will be returned to the land
when the beans and corn are hogged
down. In addition, it is estimated
that the beans growing in the corn
will produce $50 pounds more Of pork
an acre than is obtained when corn
alone is hogged down.
The amount of nitrogen produced |
N the bean yield ON each farm was
determined from the fact that each
1000 pounds of green beans contain
ibout 6.S pounds Of nitrogen which
vas valued at 20 cents a pound. Two
birds Of this expensive plant food
element was taken from the air. soils
md crops specialists estimate. The
mount of digestible feed produced
" beans and corn growing together
) said to be ten per cent higher than
hat produced when the beans and
orn are grown separately.

NEW BARLEY FOR ALASKA

All early crops of the federal ex-
pertinent station at Fairbanks, Alas
ka, matured last year, notwithstand-
ing a frost-free period of only 95 days,
according to reports to the United
States Department of Agriculture. A
barley hybrid, produced by the sta
ton, matured in 80 days from seed.
Seed of this hybrid will be distribut-
ed to farmers in Alaska as rapidly
as it, can be produced. and it is ex-
pected to replace all older barleys.
1t has stiff straw, a long, beardless
head, and hull-less grain, yields well,
does not lodge readily and seems well

tions that will confront Kentucky
farmers and dairymen when they WIS.,
1t the coming state fair, according to
N. R. Elliott, who is in charge of the
educations, exhibit which win be
made by the extension division of the
College of Agriculture The question
will form the main theme of the ex-
hibit which will be made by the col
lege dairy department to show why
farmers and dairymen cannot afford
to keep low-producing cows.
The college exhibit will be made
up of twelve displays to show differ
ent phases of farm and home work
being carried on over the state. AS
in former years, the exhibit will be
housed in the grandstand building.
The exhibit of the dairy department
will be built around the models of
two cows-one a well-bred. high-pro-
ducing animal and the other a
scrubby. boarder type of individual
found on many farms. A huge bank
book will be displayed over the mod
els of the animals to show the profits
that each type of COW returns to the
farmer during the year The records
on this book. which will be taken
from two farms in Kentucky, will
show that the milk and cream alone
from ten cows of the high producing
type yield almost two and one-half
times as much profit during the
course of a year as that from ten
cows Of the scrub type. Feed rec
ords from the same farms will show
that the ten poor cows consume as
much during year as do the ten
profitable COWS.
The value of the well-bred COW will
be further emphasized by other facts
which will be displayed with the two
models. The relative value of the
calves from the well-bred and the
scrub COWS, the amount of feed con-
sumed during a year by each type
of COW and the amount of labor re-
quired to take care of them will be
shonw by means of actual results OBJ
tanned on the two farms.
