Cut Soy Beans for Hay

Il 4 generally considered that while
soy beans may be cut for hay at al
most any stage. the best time Is just
as soon as the pods are fully formed.
but before the seed Is formed At
this time the maximum feed value
will be secured and the hay is also
more palatable than when cut later.
Later harveating gives somewhat
greater bulk. but less OF dlgestible
protein and somewhat lower palatabil-
lty, thus rendering that method less
satisfactory.

functions here Friday, seeking to en-
Join the Brookhnrt committee, the SEN
ate sergeant-at-arms. and the Western

from producing private kilograms sent
and received by him during the past
three years. The Senate committee
has ordered production Of these tele;
grams. ~
Power is Challensed
while the suit technically is directed
at the production Of kilograms, Daugh-
erty in his brief challenges the power
of the committee to investigate ques-
lions listed in the Senate resolution,
namely, his alleged failure to prosecute
antitrust cases and Albert B. Fail,
Harry +. Sinclair and e. L. Doheny.
and others connected with the oil
leases.
If the injunction petition Is sus-
tanned, the committee would be pre-
vented from carrying on its investiga-
ton.

preme court issued an order Friday

mittee to appear May 6 to show cause
why iniunctions should not be issued.

be compelled to assign department at
