When clover fails and the alfalfa
acreage is small, soybeans make a
very good emergency hay crop. The
average yield is l15 tons per acre.
When planted in RVS it requires II
bushel of soybeans per acre and when
planted solid it requires "a bushel
per acre. The Manchu, Ito San or

for hay crops or with corn for silage.

bed any time, after the first of My

planting. Harrow or weed closs-
wise of field or rows in the heat Of
day when plants are three to seven
inches high. Soybeans stand more
abuse than corn. Watch them grow
Sudan grass also forms very good
emergency hay crop and should be
planted only on very well prep9red
seed bed after the soil is warmed ZIP,
not earlier than May Is. Cover the
seed lightly on light soil, and on
heavier soils only harrow in well.

Sudan Grass and IL bushel of soy
beans per acre make d wonderful
combination for hay purposes. Only
small plots of Sudan Grass should be
planted where man has had no ex-
perience with the crop.
Twenty-three thousand pounds OF
certified Grimm seed have been
brought into the county through this
office and distributed by different
dealers. no pounds of common alta
lfa seed have been shipped in. This
will mean nearly 1000 acres of alfal-
ia to be sown this spring in Pierce
county. Besides this large amount
of alfalfa seed has been purchased
from other sources. This means that
farmers in this county in the near
future will not have to purchase as
much high protein feed as they have
heretofore.
A Pierce county dairyman who was
in the Cow Testing association for
the first time in 1924 writes,
"Just finished our year in cow test
ing. / had nine head in and they
average 303 pounds apiece. Three
were 2-years old, two 4-years old and
three 5-years old and one years old.
Have one heifer that freshened the
fourth of the month and she is Civ
ing on an average now of SO pounds
a day and tests A Considering the
feeding they have had | feel well
satisfied with them-am so well
satisfied with my yearly test and
herd, just had to unload to some
one" We have many dairymen in
the Pierce county associations who
feel the same way, since they really
know what their herds are doing for
them. More can have that satisfied
feeling if they want to take advanJ-
age of joining Cow Testing associ-
alton as they will have the opportun
ity when the Maiden Rock, Prescott,
River Falls and Elmwood Associa
lions will be reorganized within the
next two months. We also plan to
organize another association in the
vicinity Of Maiden Rock and Plum
City, We have number of parties
waiting to join, but there will be
room for more. We hope that all the
old members will see their advant
age that it will be worth while TO
test for another year. Any new
members wishing to join an associ-
alton should let me know at once so
that you will not be overlooked.
The 6 Cow Testing associations in
this county have done more toward
improving the dairy cattle than any
other one factor. Let's make Pierce
county the champion Cow Testing
Association in the Northwest.
AS part Of the followup work TO"
the Dairy Products Campaign held
last fall, Milk FAIRIES have been plac
ed in every school in the county 50
that the children will continue to
have before them the simple story
Of the value of dairy products, es
pecially milk. The majority of teach
ers in the county in their reports to
this office have stated that this was
the most effective way of teaching
the children the above facts. They
learn valuable truths in a pleasing
manner.
