legume to be harvested or plowed

Under the above conditions phos-

limits crop production and nitrate
last.
Acid phosphate ranks first as a
carrier of phOsphoric acid, basic
Stag second and rock phosphate last
in crop production.
Applications of manure are equal
ly good, if not better than the use
of a complete fertilizer for crop pro-
ductiOn.
The value of lime is limited by
other factors in the treatment. 1t
is of no avail on corn or soy beans
except where muriate of potash is
also applied.
Lime plays an important role in
the growth of the hay crop, (clover
and timothy. 1t produces the great
est gain in connection with applica-
tion of muriate of potash and with
of muriate of potash
and nitrate of soda combined.
Applications of muriate of potash
produce the most marked effect
upon the quality of wheat and corn.
The addition of acid phosphate to
of potash further improves
the quality of wheat and corn; but
when used alone it is of no avail
Lime improves the quality of corn
where muriate of potash is used.

THE POSSIBILITIES OF SUDAN
GRASS AND SOY BEANS AS A
HAY AND PASTURE CROP

We have been experimenting for
twenty years to find mixture as a
hay and pasture crop to help us out
with our shortage of permanent hay
and pasture crop, and have found
Sudan grass and soy beans a very
good mixture, sown at the rate of Is
pounds of Sudan grass and five pecks
OF Wilson soy beans per acre. Thor
oughly mix seed and use 25O to 300
lbs. of acid phosphate and KANT per
acre. Inoculate soy beans with pure
culture bacteria or soil taken from a
field where soy beans have been
grown that had plenty of nitrogen
nodules on the roots.
We are harvesting a crop now on
Cool Breeze Farm. The Sudan grass
is taller than large horses and soy
beans up to their breasts, and have
been pasturing nine COWS all sum-
mer on a AZ acre field.
The soy bean roots are loaded with |
nitrogen nodules gathered from the |
air. Farmers with the Sudan grass
and soy beans mixture, your hay and |
pasture worries will be over, and fed
to good dairy COWS along with good
will enrich your soil and
put money to your credit in the
bank.
Sincerely yours,
DAD" COBAUGH.

CONVENTION AT CHICAGO

Coming in the midst of the presi-
Dental campaign, particular inter
est will attach this year to the con-
vention at Chicago of the American
Bankers Association, which always
devotes a large part of it's sessions
to leading questions of general well
fare and to formulating a declara-
tion of principles on business and fl
nancial subjects.
Local bankers have received a
communication from Walter w.
Head, president of the Association,
pointing out the Importance of this
years meeting and urging their at
tendance. Mr.. Head says in part:
"The American Bankers AssOcia-
tion is to meet this year in the midst
of national campaign, in which are
involved the election of a president
and vice president, the selection of
senators. and congressman and the
determination of important questions
of foreign and domestic policy. Such
a campaign always affects the course
of business and finance in some de-
gree. More than that, it tends al
ways to raise questions in the minds
of men of every walk of life, relative
to the efficiency of their Government,
the propriety of policies undertaken
or advocated and the continued sta
bility of national institutions which |
may be subject to attack.
"The American Bankers Associa-
lion is not engaged in partisan poll
,ics and it's convention at Chicago,
September 20 to October I'd, will be
devoid of partisan flavor.
Dur convention however, will neces-
iarily take note Of the situation in
which the country finds itself. 1t
will naturally survey its own and
elated fields, in order that its high
,st intelligence and utmost energy
nay be devoted to the maintenance
# those principles of economic san
ty and progress to which we are
lways devoted.
Banking itself is an agency.
'ankers are vitality interested in all
he great industries which make up
he economic life of the nation. AS
as citizens-we will
eview, in our general sessions, some !
f the important problems affecting
lese industries and we will under ]
Ike to contribute to their solution. a
uch a survey is important to every I
ection of our country and to every l
anker who is a member of this AS T
)ciation." t
