The senator from St. Fran cis county declared that the bill ought to be considered on it's merits by the senators because it is of utmost im- portance to the farmers of the state. The senator declared that the funds which will be needed for the estab- lishment of these new stations can be taken from other appropriation meas ures, and he made strong attack upon alleged waste of money in the agricultural department. charging that there are many persons on the. payroll of the department who are not giving any returns whatever for the salaries paid them.

Versatile Soy Bean
Good Dat Substitute
May Yield as Much or More
Than Grain Crop.

The versatile soy bean not only car
substitute for hay and siiage. but has
also been found. when allowed TO
ripen, 20 be a good substitute for OATS.
Willie the experiments so far made
may not be conclusiEe. the college of
agriculture at Ithaca is of the 0pin-
ion that soy beans are likely to yield
as many pounds to the acre as oats,
and frequently wen more. The fact
that soy beans make a good substitute
for oil meal in dairy rations is an
other reason that dairymen particular
ly are becoming interested in their
production.
Soil which has been put in condition
favorable to corn should produce a
good crop of soy beans. Like other
legumes. they a use a large amount
of acid phosphate. Unlike many Ie-
gumes, however, they are not very SEN
sitive to u soil and will frequently
grow well where clover is a failure.
If soy beans have never previously
been grown, the seed should be inocu-
lated. On clean land they may be
planted solid with the gram drill at
the rate of a bushel and a half Of seed
to the acre. The college recommends,
however, sowing them in rows %
inches apart, at the rate of 30 quarts
of seed to the acre. in order TO make
cultivation possible.
Soy beans are usually harvested like
other beans. If not allowed to get too
ripe, however, they may be cut with
the grain binder.

II Uncle Sam did not consider our

We cannot afford to have our boys

we have no farmers to supply the
