UNFAvORABLE WINTER
WEATHER Is HARMFUL
Conditions in Fall Do Not Mate
rally Affect Wheat.
Damage to Grains in Severe Weather
Usually Grouped Under Four Heads:
Heaving, smothering, Low Tenn
perature and Drought.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
While unfavOrable winter weather
occasionally damages fall-soWn grains
to a considerable extent, statistical
studies indicate that conditions during
the fall do not bear, in general, any
material relation to the yield Of wheat
the following summer, but that the
weather during the winter, spring, and
early summer months, especially from
March to June, has a much greater in
fiuence on the final output Conse-
quently, the weather bureau, United
States Department of Agriculture,
points out, wheat may be in poor con-
dition at the beginning of the winter,
and with favorable weather later the
improvement may be such as to pro-
duce satisfactory yields.
When the weather is favorable dur
inc the fall months, grains usually
establish good root system and are
less liable to winter injury than when
fall weather is unfagorable. Winter
damage to grains is usually grouped
under four main heads: Heaving,
smothering, direct effect of low tenn
peratures and drought.
Heaving occurs usually on poorly
drained soil in the spring, and is due
to alternate freezing and thawing,
which breaks the roots or lifts the
plants from the soil and leaves the
roots exposed to the air.
Smothering occurs when the ground
is covered with an ice sheet, as when
melting snow freezes. It is some
times caused by glaze covering the
plants When snow protection is alb
sent. plants are sometimes killed by
the direct effect of cold on the tissues.
This kind of injury usually increases
with the degree and duration of the
cold but a sudden freeze may do
great deal of harm, especially in the
spring. Winter drought may also
cause injury, though it is less frequent
than other causes.

SOY BEANS WILL
STAND MOISTURE:
One of the Best Forage Plants
Among Legunes and Exceeds
Others in Yield of Seed.
PREPARED SOIL IS ESSENTIAL
Application of Fertilizer on Fertile
Land Usually Is Not Profitable
Crop is Greatly Benefited
BY Lime.

The soy bean is one Of the best
forage plants among the legumes and
it exceeds any of the others in yield
Of seed, says w. G. Etheridge of the
Missouri College of Agriculture It
does not require a particular kind Of
SOIL 1t will withstand a great deal
of moisture and succumbs only when
water stands on the land for a consid-
cradle time. On the other hand it is
decidedly drouth-resistant.
For it's best growth, the soy bean
requires better preparation of the land
than is necessary for cowpeas, because
it cannot compete with weeds and
grass SO well as cowpeas.
Fertilizer Not Profitable
The application of fertilizer to the
soy bean crop on either fertile or high
1y fertile land usually is not profitable.

cuitivating Field of Soy Beans.
But on poor land good returns will
nearly always follow a light applica-
ton, 100 to $50 pounds per acre, of
acid phosphate; or a light dressing, 5
or 6 loads per acre, Of stable manure.
There is seldom any profit in applying
commercial heterogeneous fertilizers to
soy beans, for this crop gets nitrogen
from the air through the aid of nitro
en-gathering bacteria on it's roots.
Although the soy bean viii grow on
sour, poorly drained land much better
than red clover and alfalfa, it is great

fact, under nearly all conditions a
moderate application of lime will
usually give good returns.
incubation viii Benefit.
Although on fertile soils incubation
is not necessary for thrifty growth,
1t will usually benefit the crop, and on
poor land it is essential for even
moderate growth. For sections into
which the crop is newly introduced, re-
CARELESS of the type of soil, artificial
incubation will nearly always give
good returns. Inoculating material,
and instructions for its use may be
secured at cost from the Missouri Col
gege of Agriculture, Columbia, Mo.
The best date for planting soy beans
will of course vary with the locality,
but it is q safe practice to put in the
crop about two weeks later than the
average time of planting corn. The
depth of planting is an important point.
The seed must be planted shallow or
poor stands will result Experiments
have proved that two inches is the most
favorable depth.
For a crop planted in rows three
feet apart-the best method where a
seed crop is desired-15 to 20 pounds
of seed will be required to the acre,
A broadcasted or drilled crop-for hay
will require 60 to 90 pounds to the
acre.

FEEDING BEES SUGAR sIRUP
Extra Precaution Must BE Taken to
Prevent Little Insects From
Drowning.

When it is necessary to feed bees
in winter, extra precaution must be
taken to prevent them from drowning.
Pour sugar strip into shallow dish
or pan and cover with a cotton cloth
large enough to drop over the edge
of the dish. This allows the bees to
crawl over the surface without being
given a bath or drowning in the strip.
Set the dish on the frames and see
that the cloth is loose enough to settle
to the bottom as bees use the strip.

CLEAN EGGS ARE PREFERRED
Bring Five to Eight Cents More Per
Dozen Than Dirty stock-change
Nest Material.

Clean nests will go long. way
toward securing fresh eggs, which
will bring all the way from five to
eight cents per dozen more than dirty
eggs in the city market. Change the
nesting material frequently, keep the
dropping boards clean and renew the
litter as soon as it becomes dirty.
The house, litter and dropping
boards must be clean or the layers
will have dirty feet. Hens with dirty
feet will soil a whole nest full of eggs.

MUTTON SUPPLY FOR MARKET
Production Expected to Be Many
Thousands of Pounds Over Fig
ures Given for 1922.

Sheep feeding is booming and will
result in the production of many
thousands more pounds of mutton
chops this year. Almost a third more
sheep were in feed lots, on January /
than were there at the same date in
1922, according to government esti-
mates. The largest increase in opera
lions was in the irrigated region of
the West, though the corn belt shows
a gain Of Il per cent over 1922 feed
ing. Relief in financial conditions
among farmers is considered largely
responsible for this increase, which
will put the country back on 1921
basis in mutton production.

spring floods and often remain. When
winter comes the ponds freeze to the
