County Agent Urges
Increased Legume Acreage
Saws Need Larger Crops For Nec-
essary ROughage For Dairy
Production

For q numDer Oh years ZIG Souh
ty agents office, St. Cloud, has
been concerned about increasing
the acreage of legumes grown In
the county. A dairy county ike
Stearns should have a larger acre
age in legume crops in order TO
provide the necessary roughage Tor
dairy production. From many areas
complaints were heard that alfafa
production was not successful.
Many areas of the county, however,
reported satisfactory results with
the use of alfalfa.
With that problem in mind early
in 1887 experiments were planned
on five farms growing soybeans to
determine their yielding qualities
for soy hay and grain production.
Soybeans are a legume that for
years have had a reputation for
doing well on acid soils. The soy
beans, however, grown in the coun-
ty during the drought years did not
show up very well because Of the
small amount Of moisture. At this
time the results on three Of the five
farms are available as far as hay
Yields are concerned. The grain
yield samples are being threshed at
University Farm and as yet this
data cannot be had. To carry out
the test two common varieties in
Minnesota were used, namely Guy
uea and Manchu, Two well-known
varieties, Dunfield and Illini, grown
extensively in the Central corn belt
where soybeans occupy a very i'm
portant part in the farming pro-
gram, were the other two that were
used. The demonstration plots were
checked for hay yield and from
each of the fields moisture samples
were taken to determine the hay
yield on a dry basis. The results are
as follows:
Carl H. Anderson, Crow Lake
peat soil: Cuyuga 1865
lbs. per acre, Dunfield TACO lbs. per
acre, Illini 726O lbs. per acre, Man
chu, 78 IS lbs. per acre.
Math Diedrich, Minden township,
sandy loam soil: Cuyuga 1925 lbs.
per acre, Dunfield 1925 lbs. per
acre, Illini $3.50 lbs. per acre, Man
chu $3.50 Ibs. per acre.
Conrad Nietfeld, Spring Hill
township, clay loan soil: Cuyuga,
1880 lbs. per acre, Dunfield, 1910
lbs. per acre, Illini 1885 lbs. per
acre, Manchu 4445 lbs. per acre.
Average for the three farms:
Cuyuga 1910 lbs. per acre, Dunfield
5131 lbs. per acre, Illini 5141 lbs.
per acre, Manchu 5296 lbs. per
acre.
The above yields show the results
on three farms scattered over a
The Sauk Centre herald., 1938-01-20

considerable area. The average
yield Of the three is probably what
can be expected from average soil
in Stearns county. From that it will
be seen that the Manchu variety
from a hay yield basis probably
does as well as any variety that
can be grown in this section. At
this time the grain yield data is not
available so no record on this var
iety Is available from that stand
point. With soybean hay equalling
alfalfa as protein roughage it can
readily be seen that additional
acreage Of soybeans can well be
grown in the county for protein
for dairy production.

STEERS FAVOR
LOWER TREND
Efforts To Send Prices Higher
Meet Killer Resistance-HOgs
Point Higher; Lambs Erratic

South st. Paul, Jan. 1S.-Killer re-
sistance toward any efforts on the
part Of the selling side to boost cat
tie prices higher has been rather
pronounced since the turn of the
new year. Professors claim that
beef material must stay in line with
killing values and because of this
the live trade turns dull at the first
hint OF a rally in prices. For the
two days this week, steers and
yearlings have sagged, the market
being around 15c lower. This weeks
run has included about Is cars OF
Canadians, with an increasing num-
ber Of steers. Today's crop OF
steers and yearlings moved general
ly at $6.75-7.50, while on Monday up
ward to $8.65 was paid for choice
steers Of the yearling type. Weak
ness in heifers saw a range Of Sc
TBS most popular, and PLAIN grade

heifers reached $40 Monday. A
very sluggish outlet for cows re-
suited in prices declining 10-15c.
Bulls held steady, but vealers sag
ged to the extent of SOC in extremes.
Fully steady prices were paid for
stockers and feeders and found
good feeders stopping at $40. The
dairy COW trade was strong and ac-
tive on medium and plain cows.
Good springers brought $70-80.
with plain and medium at $45-65.
In contrast with early last week,
a broad demand has featured this
weeks hog trade. This naturally
created the assumption in local cir
cles that packing operations are
under way in earnest, and that re-
quirements for storage purposes
will possibly be strong during the
balance of the winter months, ac-
cording to the Federal State News
Service. Receipts were liberal, but
this fact failed to cool buying en-
thusiasm.
The lamb market is continuing to
bounce around. Very sensitive to

and more responsive to a

side, the market has swung around

A number of factors give liver an

an abundance of iron in the right

Pork liver contains three times as

World Traveller
Visits TheC City
Deaf Mute Has Covered Over 68,-
$50 Miles In U. s. and
Other Lands

Listing Sauk Centre as the A.
Sand community he has visited in
his world travels, Ralph Kennedy
Bradford, stopped here over the
week end to gather material for a
book on his travels. He has travel
ed over the United States and prac-
tically every foreign country, for a
total of more than 6S,15O miles. His
travels are the more remarkable in
the fact that he is deaf mute. He
left from this city Saturday headed
for Grand Forks, N. D.
Because of the winter weather he
had to leave his motorcycle in
Grand Forks, N. D., but plans to
pick it up in the spring and contin-
ue his travels throughout the ma
ton. During the course OF his wan
derings he has visited every state In
the Union and has signed letters
from every governor. He is collect
ing data for a volume or several
volumes OF his travels and already
has II scrap books that weigh a to-
tai of 10 pounds.
He finances himself through the
sale of a short biographical sketch
and is not an insistent salesman.
He has set his goal at 100000 miles
which he thinks he will reach by
1910 and he will then turn his at
tention to writing. He gathers in
formation at every place he stops.
Thirty-five years OF age, Brad
ford was not always a deaf mute.
For six years he was in the United
States Navy. Following this he was
employed by the Dollar Steamship
company and it was on one of these
ships in 1924 that he got caught IN
a steam blast when a turbine stuck
crippling him and rendering him
speechless and unable to hear. His
desire for travel, was undoubtedly
whetted by his service in the navy,
and finding that because of his af-
Fiction he was unable to obtain
employment, Bradford decided he
would travel, finance himself as he
went along and then write a book
about his experiences.
Naturally it Is difficult to con-
verse with him since this has to be
done in writing.
To list the places Bradford has
visited would be calling a roll or
many of the countries in the world.
He has been in Nova Scotia, New
Foundland, Cuba, Santa Domingo,
Mexico, Canada, Canal Zone and
Panama, France, Germany, Eng
land, Hawaiian Islands to name but
a few and has apparently encount-
cred but little difficulty, because or
his affliction, in his travels.
In his collection are found more
than 1000 newspaper articles and
he has books, filled with letters
from state and other public offic-
ials. Residents Of Minnesota are
uniformly courteous and friendly,
Bradford says. He has been on the
road since 1927 and in 1890, Robert
Ripley of Believe It Or Not
fame, featured him in one Of his
cartoons. The title of the book he
will write upon the completion OF
his travels is '"Treaded Travels for
an Education"
