Popularity of Soy Beans
Increased in Corn Belt

1t Is surprising to observe the in
creased acreage of soy beans. Through
out the South the feeding and fertility
value of soy beans and cowpeas have
been recognized and appreciated, but
recently this new crop has journeyed
INTO the Corn Belt and through the
Northwest, and demonstrations every
where are serving to extend the nlant-
ing of this legume. This. too, is in
spite of the fact that the production
in bushels or the return in dollars and
cents is more or less restricted unless
the soy beans can he sold to concerns
which will extract the oil and market
the residue for feeding purposes.
Straight soy-bean meal is an excellent
supplement to corn and other carbo-
hydrate feeds supplying protein of
good quality but it never can be re-
lied upon to supply the entire amount
or protein essential for balanced ra-

Chapter VnI

MYRTLE rose in the morning, as wa,
her CUSTOM at little after seven
O'Clock, carefully made her bed,
dressed, and walked for an hour upon
the terrace. These early diurnaI wan
derings were tempered with certain
sadness, although she was always
finding something new-new beauties
or new sores-in this amazing spot to
which she had been transported. To
MYRTLE, whose life as yet was com
posed mainly of externals, everything
was beautiful. The sun warmed her

ana the million scintlllating lights
upon the bay. She looked up with a
glad smile at the silent hotel where
Gerald was sleeping. Perhaps he was
dreaming of her at that very moment.
Love had crept into her life and
found her very ignorant. As yet it wa.
n beautiful and simple thing. That il
was capable of change and division
never even occurred to her. She loved
Gerald and, although he sometimes
disappointed her. il must be that Ger.
aid loved her. She had few doubts
about it all. His attitude often puzzled
sometimes even distressed her, but she
put his vagaries down to her own lack
of understanding. She was convinced
that all would be well when she saw
more of him, and she harbored n dull
sense OF resentment against Chris
topher, who she believed was aIwayi
working for some unknown reason to
keep them apart.
AT half-past eight she returned to
her rooms and deliberately attacked a
great mass of sewing, which was SEM

From that time EDWARDS, she sat in

hope of seeing Gerald. Once or twice
he had come and taken her ont ia

self every morning at about the same
time, and even If Gerald appeared la

Stable Manure Superior
as Fertilizer in Garden

Perhaps-the vegetable crops did not
grow as well as they might have. even
with the weather conditions as they
were. This may have been due to lack
of fertility in the soil 1t is very sell
dom that well-fertilized garden soil
fails to produce a uniformly satlsfac-
tory crop of vegetables.
OF all the garden fertilizers, none Is
superior to stable manure.
Stable manure carries nitrogen.
phosphorus and potash, the three
chief elements Of fertility. Not only
does it carry these plant foods. but it
contains decaying vegetable matter
and the bacteria already at work
which makes the decaying vegetation
available as plant food for crops.
Use plenty of manure on the garden
You will not find more profitable
place on the farm for the manure. 4
ton of well-rotted manure to every
eight square rods of the garden area
Is none too much: in fact, some ad-
wise still more.
For garden conditions, even better
results are had by supplementing the
manure with about fifty pounds of acid
phosphate to each ton of manure ap-
piled.

The accuracy of frost forecasts

wolves Serious Danger.

Since acid phosphate On wheat Is
ginning wider use and with fall spread
ing Of limestone on wheat ground he
ing common practice, the question has
often been asked. whether one might
not mix the limestone md acid phos-
phate and apply these two soil treat
ments at the same time.
Though labor might be saved by
mixing such practice involves serl-
Gus danger. Laboratory experiments
as well as field results show that.
when mixed with limestone. the solu-
BILE phosphorus reverts or changes TO
an insoluble form and its beneficial
effects are largely lost. This change
goes on more rapidly as the amount OF
limestone in proportion TO the phos-
phate becomes greater. So, where one
ton of stone is mixed with only one
hundred pounds of hosphate-whtch
is about the common ratio of uppl,ca-
tion-the loss of soluble phosphate Is
rapid
Rather than apply the two In mix
ture, the limestone can be spread
soil during preparation OF the seed
bed. When this is done early, as is
commonly recommended. and the phos-
phate put on with the wheat seeding,
the time between the applications Is
sufficient to let the lime act partly on
the soil and the chance for intimate
mixture of lime and phosphate be
comes so small that the danger Is
negligible. Even when the lime goes
on just shortly before seeding there Is
little danger as long ms 1t Is worked
into the soil ahead of the phosphate
In applying these soil treatments 1t
is well to remember that any method
Of handling them which prohibits their
intimate mixing avoids the danger OF
reverting the phosphate and losing the
usual profit from Its use.
