AAA RESPONSIBLE
FOR APPROVAL ON
FARM BUILDING
Must Recommend All Work
Above Certain Limits
For Final 0. K. By CPA

Responsibility for recommend
ing construction and repair Of farm
buildings, including dwellings, and
in issuing priorities for farm hous-
ng has been delegated to AAA
Committees.
According to Wilby r. Cochen-
our, chairman of the Union County
AAA committee, no construction
or repair work, except for certain
exemptions, may be started with
out specific authorization. These
exemptions apply:
u 10 construction or repair
work that was already started en-
March 26,
(2) to those cases in which the
cost involved is less than $500 on
dwelling or garages, or less than
$1,000 on farm buildings other
than dwellings, and
CD to certain emergency condi-
tionS instances in which destruc-
tion has been wrought by fire,
flood, tornado), provided the cost
is less than $4,000 and the recon
struction is started within go days.
In most other cases, building and
repair work must be specifically
authorized.
1t is also pointed cut by Mr..
Cochenour that the priority aSsiS-
tance to be rendered by the AAA
Committees applies only to dwell
ings, relating both to cases for
which authorization has been or
is being granted, and to cases for
which no authorization is required.
If priority assistance is needed in
the construction or repair Of other
buildings, applications are to be
filed with the Civilian Production
Administration, Washington d. c.
The purpose of the order is to
direct critical materials from de-
ferable or less essential construc-
ton, thereby making more mater
ials available for carrying out the
veterans emergency housing pro-
gram.
All prospective applicants are
urged by Mr.. Cochenour to have
their projects well outlined before
calling at the county office for the
purpose of making application. On
ly by so doing will unnecessary de
lays be avoided for in all cases the
application, along with the recon-
mendation of the county commit
tee, are forwarded to the State
Committee for final approval, and
all the facts must be clearly set
forth. In the event authorizations
are granted, appropriate placards
will be issued for posting at the
site of construction.

TIPS ON RAISING SOYBEANS GIVEN
BY OSU EXPERT THROUGH ROBINSON

(This is the first of three ar
ticleS on soybeans to be released
by D. B. Robinson, local agricul-
tural agent in response to num-
erous inquiries from farmers. 9th
er articles will be released each
week.
How to Make More Money see. ...
On SOybeans by Increasing Yield
"Ohio Farmers can increase
their soybean yields by as much as
six to ten bushels per acre by fol
lowing the best growing practices, "
says D. F. Beard, extension agrO-
nomist of Ohio State university, in
his article - More Soybeans Per
Acre, written in collaboration
with Lewis c. Saboe, Agronomist
of the u. S. D. A. In this article,
which is causing widespread COM
ment, Beard recommends these
practices:
/. PLANT Lincoln, Richland, or
Earlyana varieties on the entire
Ohio acreage. This will add two to
three bushels to the state average
yield per acre.
2. Plant high-germinating seed
in a properly prepared seedbed,
This will add one buShel.
3. Complete soybean planting by
June / 5. This should add 12 to
one buShel.
4. Control weeds by cultivating
the growing crop whether it is
planted solid or in rows. This will
add one to four bushels.
5. Grow soybenas in good,
well-fertilized crop rotation and
add another one to five bushels. "
The maximum gain in yields
may run as high as fourteen BUSH
els per acre on many farms if all
of Boards recommendations are
followed, but the Ohio State Agro-
nomist prefers to be conservative
when talking about what the aver
age farmer can accomplish.
Plant The Best Varieties
According to Beard, only the
Lincoln, Richland and Earlyana
varieties are recommended for
Ohio farms. Exhaustive tests over
a twenty-year period have proven
The Union County journal. [volume] (Marysville, Ohio) 1875-1951, 1946-06-06

these superior to the hundreds Of
varieties and strains tested.
Lincoln, says Mr. Beard has
outyielded every other variety or
strain adequately tested in Ohio
to date. 1t has also had the highest
percentage of oil of any variety
tested. 1t is surpassed in lodging
resistance only by the Richland
variety.
"Richland stands up better than
any other now available and
should, therefore, be planted on
fields of high productivity where
other varieties are likely to lodge
badly, In the southern half of the
state, it may be harvested early
enough TO permit timely seeding of
winter wheat. On soils of low pro-
ductiVity it will neither yield we'll
nor attain a height satisfactory for
combining"
"Earlyana is the earliest of the
three recommended varitieS. 1t will
grow taller and yield better than
Richland on soils of low to medium
productivity. Earlyana particular
fits Northern Ohio"
Plant One Inch Deep
Fields for soybeanS should be
either plowed or disced several
weeks ahead of planting. All germ
mating weed seeds and weeds
should be destroyed Immediately
prior to planting. The optimum
depth in planting is about one inch
In solid paintings, one and one
half to two bushels of good seed
gives best results, while in row
paintings highest yields have been
obtained with seeding rates of so
to 70 pounds per acre. Row plant
ings are generally considered to
Cultivate Even if Planted Solid
Mr.. Beard will surprise many
farmers with this statement. Con
trary to popular belief, even
though soybeans are planted solid
(and 900 of the Ohio crop is so
planted they should be cultivated
