u. S. Testing
New SOybeans

Manchurian soybeans, the chief
crop of the Asiatic region for which
they are named, are to be given
thorough trial in IL states this year,
the United States Department of
Agriculture says.
The beans, more than 5000 vari-
cites Of them, were gathered by w.
j. Morse of the department in a z
year asiatic plant expedition. Last
year the seeds were grown on the
Arlington Experiment Farm in Vir-
ginia, and this year the varieties
will be sent to experiment stations
in different regions of the United
States to test them under conditions
most nearly like those in Manchuria,
Japan, Korea, and Formosa, where
they grow naturally. The soybeans
vary from those which ripen in rs
days to those which require 173 or
more days to ripen.
The states to which the beans
will be sent for planting this year
are: Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri.
Mississippi, South Carolina, North
Carolina, Louisiana, Wisconsin, New
York, Indiana, and Massachusetts.
Soybean production has increased
rapidly in the United States in the
last few years. In 1929, it was es-
timated that $4,000 acres were har-
vested, while in 1881 this figure had
jumped to 1,271 900 acres.

Feather Picking IN Chicks
By Prof. III. ID .Munroe.

Feather picking and cannibalism in
chicks is a general complaint. 1t un-
doubtedly is due to the extreme ar
tificial methods used in raising chicks.
Most hen flocks that pick feathers
learned this habit when they were
chicks.
Many Of us are inclined to blame the
feed when chicks start picking. We
forget that when chicks were raised
with hens and were fed corn meal we
never heard of feather picking. Ger
tainly any method of feeding chicks
today has more variety and balance
than our old method of feeding chicks.
No, feed does not cause picking. We
have seen feather picking in flocks
fed nearly every kind of a mixture.
The principal causes of picking in
chicks are crowding, overheating,
lack of green feed and wire floors.
Crowding not only causes picking but
is probably the most common condition
llldI dtFClOpS Ilt iuOSL
common trouble in poultry raising is
crowded conditions One easy method
of helping crowded conditions is to
separate the cockerels from the pullets
as soon as they can be distinguished.
Many flocks start feather picking and
toe picking because of crowded condi-
tions in the brooder house.
There are lot of late hatched
chicks raised this year During warm
days many of these chicks are going
to be overheated. Chicks that are too
hot, especially on sunny days, will
start picking. During warm weather
the brooder temperature should not be
over so degrees the first week and
should be lowered degrees each week
until 70 degrees is reached. In other
words, harden or tougher the late
hatched chicks rapidly. Too high tenn
perature in the brooder house is caus-
ing lot of trouble.

Gently organized Mississippi Associa-
tion for the Conservation of wild
life. A survey conducted by the
Legion revealed that 95 out of every
100 Legionnaires in the state

Other organizations that have long
agitated for a department to save
and restore Mississippi's fast dwind-
ling game supply are the Izaak Wal
ton League of America and the Ma
tional Association of Audubon Soci-
eties.
With the fate of its once abundant
wild life in the hands of a loose sys-
tenn of county control, game is said
to have reached a serious plight,
through indiscriminate killing of
species, destruction of favorable en-
vironment and poor law enforcement.
While many sections are now almost
bare of game, some areas, however,
are still we'll supplied and will be
looked upon as reservoirs in the de-
paltment's efforts to replenish the
whole state.
The department will operate on
funds from hunting and fishing Ii
censes. 1t will be directed by
non-salaried commission of three
members and an executive officer.

Gives Advice On
Feeding of Pigs

Pigs fed a limi:ed amount of grain
or concentrates utilize more pasture
and require fewer pounds of concen-
trates per unit of gain but gain more
slowly than pigs fed all the grain
they care for. In seven trials con-

partment of Animal Industry, at the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion, pigs getting an average of 8
pounds of concentrate and similar
ones getting an average of So
pounds daily head of corn and
tankage made 17.8 and 1863 pounds
of gain in liveweight, respectively,
for each bushel of corn consumed.
The limited fed pigs were given ap-
proximately a pounds of feed daily
for each 100 pounds of their live
weight. Those getting full feed OF
concentrates reached market
weight of 200 pounds 81 days ear
lier than those on the restricted ra.
ton.
Hog prices ordinarily decline in
the fall as the number being mar
keted increases. The average price
of hogs per 100 pounds at Chicago
for the 10-year period from 1922
1881 was as cents higher in Septem-
ber than in October, 70 cents higher
in October than in November, and 16
cents higher in November than in
December In spite of their greater
gains per bushel of feed and the
greater percentage of new or cheaper
corn that could have been fed to
them, when the lower selling price
of the limited-fed hogs and the larg
er amount of forage they utilized
were taken into account, the limited
fed hogs proved less profitable than
the full-fed ones.

pigs farrowed after the first of May

Peas, Oats for Hay

Many farmers in Ohio have poor
prospects for hay this season because
of the failure of clover and grass
stands last year. Emergency hay
crops will be needed by some to
make up for this shortage. Through
! out the northern part of the state
where oats do well, particularly in
northeastern Ohio, mixture Of Can
ada field peas and oats may be har-
vested for hay. 1t is not so well
adapted to the central and southern
part of Ohio because of the failure
of peas to do well during hot wealth
er which comes on sooner there.
Peas and oats have one advantage
over soybeans that appeals to many
fa1mers-they may be cut for hay
late in July or early in August,
when curing weather is generally
good. If harvested early enough, the
land may be prepared at once and
soybeans or Sudan grass sown; this
will make about a half crop of
hay that fall and, in the case of
Sudan grass, some fall pasture.
In experiments conducted at Woos
ter, by L E. Thatcher, of the De-
partment of Agronomy at the Ohio
Experiment Station, peas and oats
sown in mixtures at three rates per
acre. bushels of peas and one of
oats, IL bushels of each, and l
bushel of peas and 2 of oats-gave
the following yields of hay, respec-
lively: 2.68 tons, 2.64 tons and 2.78
tons. The first mixture produced
about $40 pounds of crude protein
per acre and were very difficult to
500 pounds. The difficulty of cur
ing the first mixture, which con-
tanned the most pea vines, was
disadvantage.
At the same time, white Canada
field peas alone made 2.39 tons of
hay and 720 pounds of crude protein
per acre and were yer ydifficult to
cure and handle. Soybeans for the
same period made 2.79 tons of hay
and yielded 800 pounds of crude pro-
tein per acre. From the feeding
standpoint, the soybean hay was the
better.
Oats alone may be cut for hay.
Although the feeding value is less
than when mixed with peas, if cut
when in the milk stage oats will con-
tain between and 8 per cent crude
protein and be equal to medium
grade mixed clover and timothy.
Oats hay is quite palatable if well
made.
The peas should be inoculated and
sown separately, followed at once
with the oats at shallower depth
Oats and oats mixtures should be
allowed to cure thoroughly before
putting into the NOW; they are like
ly to spoil otherwise.
Cowpeas are sometimes confused
with field peas. Cowpeas are not
suited for growing with oats and
are inferior to soybeans for hay in
Ohio.

Pigs Return High
Value For Pasture

Providing an abundance of good
pasture throughout the growing sea-
son is of Importance in attempting 10
secure maximum returns from hog
production, says w. L. Robson, OF the
Department of Animal Industry at the
Ohio Experiment Station. Pasture
crops supply minerals and vitamins
and reduce, but do not supplant, the
need for a protein concentrate. They
thus simplify the feeding problem by
permitting the use of larger percent
age of grain in the ration and by max
ing a single protein concentrate as ef-
fective as is supplement made up OF
variety of feeds desirable for dry
lot feeding. AS a rule, pigs on forage
are under more healthful surroundings
than those in confinement. In tests
conducted by Mr.. Robson it was found
that even when the dry-lot pigs were
kept under the most favorable condi-
tions from 500 to 600 pounds of gain
in liveweight were attributable to each
half acre of forage.
Alfalfa and red clover rank at the
head of the list as forage crops for
hogs. These must be planned for in
advance. A part of the clover field in
the regular rotation can often be used
for swine If alfalfa or clover is not
available, it is advisable to provide
some emergency crop which can be
pastured the same season it is seeded.
For productive soils Dwarf Essex rape
is an excellent crop of this character.
1t is similar to clover in worth has a
high carrying capacity, is not injured
by frost, and furnishes pasture from
7 to s weeks after seeding until late
in the fall. Rape sometimes causes
the pigs to sun-scald or blister. If
blisters occur, they may be treated by
covering them with grease every few
days until healed.
Soybean pasture or a mixture of
spring seeded winter wheat and alfalfa
or sweet clover may be better adapted
than rape to less productive soils. As
a rule, sweet clover is not palatable
to pigs. Peruvian, which is a rapid
growing strain of alfalfa, has shown
a higher value for pasturing the first
season than has sweet clover. The sec
ond years growth of sweet clover is
too woody for pigs. Winter wheat
seeded in the spring does not head out.
A light seeding of it helps keep down
the weeds and provides excellent for
age while the alfalfa or sweet clover
is becoming established. Although ex-
ceptionally palatable to pigs, soybean
pasture produces little new growth
after being grazed, has relatively
low carrying capacity, and provides
forage for only comparatively short
period of time. When other crops are
to produce soybean pasture
may be used to advantage for supply
ing green feed of high quality from
until frost.

TIE STORY OF SOYBEANS
b. =. e. ROQUEMORE

The recent Jap Chinese fracas has
been responsible for large amount
of publicity being given to the lowly
soybean. There is no doubt but what
the Manchurian soybean crop has
played an important part in the re-
cent conflict. Few, however, in the
United States are familiar with the
outstanding merits of this very
crop.
Turning back the pages of history
about five thousand years, we learn
that a Chinese emperor was respon-
sible for statement published in a
medical dictionary of that period to
the effect that soybeans were a crop
of great value from a nutritional
standpoint.
The fact that soybeans have sup
piled the major portion of the pro-
tein in the Chinese diet for many
centuries attests the wisdom of this
Chinese ruler of old. Soybeans, or
soys as they are commonly called,
are apparently destined to become
one of the most valuable crops in
the world.
The uses of the soybean are many.
Much research work is being conduct
ed in many parts of the world to dis
cover additional uses for this very
worthy crop.
In China and Japan, soybeans are
used on very large scale for human
consumption as we'll as fertilizer. In
this country, however, soybeans are
grown principally for live stock
feeding, although the extracted oil
has more than 200 uses, finally find
ing its way into paint, soap, food,
etc.
Some of the many products made
largely from soybeans and oil are
macaroni, oils, water proofing, var
nishes, enamels, linoleum, soup and
cheese. American chemists have pro-
duced soybean milk which answers
most requirements of the dairy pro-
duct with the exception of making
butter. Soybean milk combined with
malt and chocolate is very health
full food, and flour made from soy
beans is now being produced in this
country from which excellent bread is
made. A very delicious soybean pam
cake flour has recently been intro
duced to the American market and
many who have tried it claim it to
be the best they have ever used.
Raw soybeans, ground soybeans,
and soybean oil meal are now being
used quite extensively in this coun-
tr yas food for livestock and poultry.
1t has been discovered, however, that
the feeding of raw or ground un-
cooked soybeans which contain one
fifth oil, makes soft pork and soft
butter, which in many instances are
subjected to severe price dockage on
the part Of buyers.
The fact that raw soybeans con-
tain nearly one-fifth oil means that
a hog which eats 200 lbs. of raw or
cracked soybeans consumes nearly 40
pounds of oil.
Tests have proven conclusively that
rightly manufactured, thoroughly
cooked, roasted and toasted soybean
oil meal made by the "Expeller Pro-
cess" is extremely palatable and pos
sesses pleasing, nut-like flavor and
aroma which appeals to
all classes Of livestock and poultry.
Future articles of this series will
discuss soybean production, manufac-
turing methods, and other interesting
details in connection with this very
crop.

Ohio's two million sheep are be-
ing severely attacked this year by
internal parasites, such as tape
worms and lung worms. The wet
season of last year is blamed for
the prevalence of internal parasites
this spring. Part of the life cycles
of most of these parasites is spent
on pasture grasses, and, in wet
weather, more of them survive.
