Increased Acreage Marks New Inter-
est In SOybean And Corn Grown
Together

Together
Prospects are favorable for a 30
thousand-acre crop of soybeans in
corn in Kentucky this year, accord
ing to Ralph Kenney, crops extern
sion specialist of the College of Ag-
riculture. Farmers in all parts of
the State are showing increased in
terest in this combination which
has proved to be an economical one
for pork production when hogged
off and valuable as soil improver
when the bean vines are allowed to
rot on the ground after the hogging
off or the corn harvest, he said.
''In planting the combination this
year, many farmers will use bean
attachments on their corn planters
while others will mix the bean and
corn seed in equal parts and drill
or check them with the same plates
and chain combinations that they
use for seeding an ordinary stand
of corn. The beans feed faster than
the corn, thus making it unneces-
sary to change the combination in
order to get the required stand of
beans. Both the beans and corn
may be planted by hand.
"'Only three to five bushels of
beans are needed on an acre to furn-
ish sufficient protein to balance a 40
TO so bushel an acre corn crop. This
amount may be obtained by seeding
from six to ten pounds of bean seed
in the same row with corn. The
beans should be planted not more
than one inch deep and when plant
ed on ground that has not grown
beans before should be inoculated.
The soybeans-corn combination
merits the increased interest being
taken in it by farmers, Mr.. Kenney
believes. when grown in corn as
outlined and hogged off, the beans
produce from $50 to 200 pounds OF
pork more an acre than is secured
by corn alone" he continued. 1.-THE
seed costs from rs to 80 cents an
acre while the return in pork is $1C
or more an acre"

Soybcans In Corn Keep
Chinchbug Trouble

In addition to forming a good
combination for the economical
production OF pork, soybeans and
corn grown togethet have another
advantage which is being pointed
out to Kentucky farmers by crop
specialists at the College OF Agricul-
ture. When grown together, these
two crops help to control chinch
bugs which in some years become q
serious menace to the corn crop,
they say.
Soybeans grown in the row with
corn help make the field shady, thus
discouraging the activities Of the
bug which prefers an open growth.
Natural enemies of the chinch bug
also like the large amount OF mois-
ture held by the damp bean leaves.
In addition to these two points, the
bugs do not feed upon the soybeans,
the specialists say.

berry Growing

During the past two or three
years. strawberry growing in west
ern Kentucky and border counties
of Tennessee has experienced an
unprecedented growth. according
to Morgan o. Hughes, of the Ken
lucky Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion and one of the well-known
authorities in Kentucky on the
crop. Sixteen associations formed
in that territory for marketing the
berries represent an estimated total
of 5000 acres, he said.
Kentucky growers are finding
that good care of their beds will
increase the yields at least so per
cent" Mr.. Hughes said in discuss
ing practices followed in growing
the crop" Immediately after the
end of the bearing season, which is
usually about June 10 to Is in Ken
lucky, the vines are moved off and
the beds ,raked clean after which
the rows are barred out on each
side with disc cultivator or one
horse pillow until they are about
eight inches wide. After this has
been done. some growers find II a
good plan to go across the rows
with a smoothing harrow that has
the teeth set straight. This not
only kills many weeds but also pulls
out some Of the surplus plants

TWO MORE OFFICERS OF NEW
LAND BANK ARE NAMED

Louisville, KY, May 20,-Election
of Lee Gibson as general attorney
and of j. w. Brantley as secretary
treasurer of the Louisville Joint
Stock Land Bank by the directors OF
that institution, recently organized,
was announced Thursday.
Mr.. Gibson formerly held the same
position with the Federal Land Bank
of Louisville, while Mr.. Brantley
has been cashier of the Federal in
stitution. The directors announced
that completion of the organization
and official personnel is being "a
chieved rapidly.
The Louisville Joint Stock Land
Bank was formed about ten days ago,
but the institution already is func-
tioning. Temporary offices have been
| established in the Columbia Build
ing and the bank will be located in
permanent quarters on the mazza-
nine floor of the Inter-SOuthern
Building Annex after May 20, shar-
ing part of the new Offices of the
Citizens Union National Bank.
President Walter Howell of the
Louisville Joint Stock Land Bank,
who resigned as president of the
Federal Land Bank of Louisville to
accept his new position, stated
Thursday morning that the institu-
tion he now heads Is in receipt of a
great many inquiries about loans on
farm lands from many points In Ken
| lucky and Indiana. He said that
there is every indication the farm
i ing element OF these two States is
taking a great deal of interest in
Louisville's new bank and In the
facilities which the new institution
will afford the rural sections.
i Mr.. Gibson, the new general at
torney of the bank, before coming
to Louisville was partner OF Con-
gresham ID. II. Kincheloe. of the
Second Kentucky District, and prac-
ticed law at Madisonville, the firm
being Gibson & Kincheloe. Mr.
Z, Brantley, prior to locating in Louis
vile. was engaged in the banking
business at Troy. Tenn, for per-
fsod OF fourteen years. He first was
cashier of the Bank of Troy and
later cashier Of the Citizens Bank
OF Troy.

Many Sheep Flocks Hit BY Ticks,
Lice Or Scab

Few Kentucky fiocks of sheep
have come through the winter with
out being troubled with ticks, lice
or scab, l.. j. Horlacher, in charge
of sheep work at the College Of Ag-
riculture says. Dipping, therefore,
will be necessary this spring on
many farms of the State to control
these pests, he said.
"Trials at the Kentucky Agricul-
tural Experiment Station show that
ticks and lice can be controlled eff
fectively by use of any OF the stand
ard commercial coal tar or sheep
dips but that tobacco dip is best
for scab. The animals should be
dipped Immediately after shearing
and then again ten or twelve days
later. This second dipping kills all
parasites which have Matched since
the time of the first dipping. Direc'
lions given by manufacturers of the
dips should be followed closely II
best results are obtained. This II
particularly true when tobacco dir
is used. A solution that is toe
strong acts as poison and may
kill the animal. Also, sheep thai
is allowed to remain in the dip toe
long may be poisoned"
