PLANT SOME SOY BEANS

Clemson College.-A few farmers
make success of raising a new crop
the first time they try it. 1t is quite
likely that next year great many
farmers will want to try some new
crop, especially where cotton fails
this year, says Prof. G. P. Blackwell,
agronomist, who suggests that the
soy bean is one of the most promls-
ing crops and believes it would be a
good idea for any farmer to- plant a
small acreage of soy beans this year,
in order to learn the method of hand
ling this new crop. It is not an expen-
sive crop to grow as it does not re-
quire heavy application of fertiliz-
er; it may be cultivated with a culti-
vator almost entirely, requiring little
work with hoe; and it may be har-
vested by machinery. Thus one man
can handle a large acreage. 1t is a
crop which has many uses, as it may
be grown as a soil building crop, as
a cash crop, or as forage crop.
The safest variety to plant for
seed production is the Mammoth
Yellow, which should be planted in
rows about 1-2 to 8 feet apart and
at the rate of about 80 pounds per
acre. 1t will generally be best to
fertil:ze with about $50 to 200
pounds of acid phosphate per acre.
On land that is known to be very
low in potash a small application of
potash may be necessary, but no
heavy application Of potash is need
ed. On most soils it is not necessary
to apply ammonia, though on very
light sandy soils a little ammonia
would probably increase the yield.
Being a leguminous crop, soy beans
take nitrogen from the air and as
a general rule make their best seed
Weld when not fertilized with COM
mercial ammonia. /
On land where the soy bean has
never grown, incubation is advisable,
but on land where it has been grown
in the past, the soil will be already
iroculated. Most of the soils of this
state are inoculated or soon become
inoculated when this crop is planted.

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS
SOY BEAN VERSUS CoWPEAs

At any state of its growth, the
soy bean will stand a light frost
and keep. on growing. Hence they
may be sown earlier m the spring
and will grow later in the fall than
cowpeas.
On cold, wet land, soy beans grow
better than cowpeas as they are
not easily injured by wet weather.
1t will resist drought better than
the cowpea.
When the weather is cold and wet
at planting time, soy beans will give
a better stand than cowpeas.
There are varieties of soy beans
that Will mature seed much earlier
than the earliest varieties of cow
peas; hence the soy bean can be
planted earlier and later than the
cowpea.
On most soils, soy beans are a
more certain crop for hay, and for
seed. purposes than cowpeas.
1t will produce much more grain
than will the cowpea; and the more
fertile the soil, the more grain will
be produced; whereas the cowpea
makes more vine and less peas.
The seed will remain on the
ground until November or December
without rotting, thus giving a long
er grazing period.
Since the soy bean is erect in
growth, and has no runners, it can
be more easily cut for hay.
The soy bean natures all its fruit
at once, and can therefore be har-
vested by machinery, whereas the
cowpea must be harvested by hand,
and later threshed by machinery.
Soy beans collect more nitrogen
from the atmosphere than will the
cowpea, thus being a better soil i'm
proven. =
Soy beans are not. troubled by
weeds and other insect pests, which
injure cowpeas.
The soy bean is not 80 susceptible
to wilt and other plant diseases as
the cowpea. -
On the other hand the cowpea has
some advantages over the soy bean.
The soy bean may fail to come
through a crust which would offer
but little resistance to cowpeas. The
cowpea is therefore better for
broadcasting on land that is heavy
and liable to "bake.'
Rabbits feast upon the soy bean
while they will not bother the cow
pea at all. Rabbits may be checked
by poisoning few rows around the
field. -
AT the time Of planting, soy beans
require better seed bed, and usual
ly give poor stand if they are
planted deeper than one and one
half inches.
Cowpeas are preferable for SOW
ing broadcast on weedy land be-
cause they smother weeds much bet
ter than soy beans.
Soy beans prepare better pre-
pared seed bed than cowpeas do.

will also save soil moisture.

ID. c. BOARD PLANS
SEWER EXPANSION
Damage to Streets by Rains
Makes Drastic Action
Necessary.

Faced with the alternative Of
street repairs or sewer extensions.
the District Commissioners yester-
day chose the latter.
During the recent heavy rains
a number of streets in suburban
sections were washed out. At sev-
eral places gullies replaced the
streets.
The Commissioners believe this
damage would have been prevented
had the system of storm sewers
been extended to these sections.
The Commissioners yesterday
ordered the Broad Branch trunk
sewer, on Nevada avenue north
west. extended from Mckinley to
Keokuk street.
The construction will cover ap-
proximately 1.450 lineal feet and
will penetrate well into Broad
Branch Valley. 1t will provide ad-
ditional drainage for a section Sc
riously damaged during the storms.
At Nevada avenue and Morrison
street the streets were So badly
damaged as to require long de-
tours. During the heavy rain on
July 10 between four and eight
inches per hour fell in this section
for ten minutes.

Orders 10000 airs
Of License Tags
Record Contract Shows Big
Increase in Number of
Autos Here.

Ninety thousand pairs of auto
mobile license tags have been or
dered by the District for next
year.
officials ordered 1000 motorcycle
tags.
The contract to supply the record
breaking number of tags was
owarded to the National Color
type Co.. of Newport, Ky, at a bid
of 12.45 cents per pair for the auto
tags and cents for motorcycle
tags.
In accordance with the appro-
priations for the year. $4,000 Is
provided for the purchase of tags.
The contract covers tags costing
s11.350.
With the rapid increase in the
number Of automobiles in the Dis
tr1ct, 1t Is expected that an emer-
sency appropriation for additional
tags will be asked of Congress al
later date. Last year the Com
missioners were forced to submit
such a deficiency estimate.
