Good Price Outlook
For 1947 SOybeans

Good prices for the 1947 soybean
crop are foreseen by ]. w. Calland,
director research, Central Soya
Company, Decatur, ILL.,, who says
the government support price and
the world shortage of fats and oils
are heavy props under this years
profits from the soybean crop.
Mr.. Calland explained at Farm
and Home Week meeting that 1946
soybeans were sold at prices all the
way from $1.25 to $4.00 per bushel.
High prices late in the marketing
year have persuaded many farmers
to sell themselves short of seed,
which will be more in demand than
was expected at the close of the
1916 soybean harvest.
The government asks for 38 per
cent increase in Ohio soybean acre
age this year, Mr.. Calland says, and
also asks for 21 per cent increase
in the crop in the cornbelt area,
Replies from ], 400 farmers indicated
they would plant an average of "a
acres of soybeans this year.
This group of farmers told Mr..
Calland they will plant more soy
beans in rows than in former years
and will space the rows % to "a
inches apart instead of the wider
spacings of 80 to 80 inches in COM
mon use. The most popular vari-
eties are Lincoln, Richland and
Earlyana.
Thirty-three per cent of these
1,400 farmers applied fertilizer on
their soybeans in 1946. Half of the
group said the fertilizer increased
yields, IA per cent said they got no
increase in yield, and SO per cent
said they could not tell whether or
not there was an increase.
Prices for 1947 soybeans will de-
pend upon color of the beans, upon
their oil content, and upon quality
and percentage of moisture. Green
and yellow beans will be worth 20
cents a buShel more at government
support prices than beans of any
other color. Heavy moisture content
and high percentages of cracked
beans will reduce prices on any
market.

Ohio Climate Jumbles
Crop District Limits

Ohio has seven districts In which
soil or weather conditions are diff
ferent enough so Ohio State Uni
verSity agronomists advise some
changes in common varieties of field
crops to be planted in those areas,
and the agronomists also recon-
mend variations in seeding dates
even when the same varieties are
planted in different districts.
Ohio's crop district | starts about
10 miles from Lake Erie in Ashta-
bula county, goes south as far as
the southeastern corner of Trumbull
county, and extends westward to in
clude the eastern tip of Lorain, with
the southern border of the district
near the south line of Portage coun-
ty. District 2 continues southwest
from No. l into Seneca county, with
the southern border of the district
reaching the north lines of Holmes,
Tuscarawas and Carroll counties.
District is triangle containing
most of Williams county and a little
corner both from Defiance and Full
ton counties. District 5 is the rest
of northwestern Ohio down to the
southern part of Van Vert county,
with the district boundary angling
up to reach Lake Erie west of San
dusky. Most of the Ohio flat lands
are in district 5.
District 4 includes the 10-mile
strip along the Erie shore to a point
west of Sandusky, a panhandle 20
miles wide southwest through Erie
and Seneca counties, and then a

wide strip across the state taking in
the area north of line drawn near
Greenville, Urbana, Marysville, Col
umbus, Lancaster, Somerset, Cald-
well, and Woodsfield.
All southern Ohio except bottom
lands of large rivers is in district 6.
The lower valleys of the Musking-
um, the Scioto, both Miamis, and
the Ohio shore of the Ohio river
make up district 7.
Variations in recommended crop
varieties for the different districts
are greatest for corn. Planting dates
for most crops are week to 10 days
earlier in southern Ohio than in the
northern part of the state. Extension
bulletin No 225 has a map of the
districts and lists of recommended
crop varieties for each one. The
bulletin can be obtained free from
county agricultural agents.

Some Ohio heavy soils are be-
coming so packed they are difficult
to work and drain. More sod crops
in the rotation will improve the tilth
of those soils.
Tobacco seedbeds which are ster-
ilized by burning often receive too
little fire to SteriliZe the soil. A lot
of wood is required to heat the
ground sufficiently. Chemical ster-
iliZation is easy and satisfactory but
the chemical must be applied in the
fall.
Coarsely ground limestone is not
available for use by plans as quick
ly as limestone ground finely
enough so all of it will pass through
a 100-mesh screen. Only II per cent
of limestone screenings can be used
by plants the first year after the
lime is applied, but 100 per cent of
superfine limestone is available the
first year. Plants can use SIS per cent
of agricultural limestone the first
year.

The COWS had access to bluegrass
pasture while they were on alfalfa
but the bluegrass probably did not
make bloating more or less prob
able. Hungry cows will eat enough
of several roughages to cause bloat-
ing. The Trumbull herd always had
plenty of feed.
Field trials extending over 80
years indicate Ohio sandy soils can
be kept at high productivity level
even under intensive vegetable
growing. Near Marietta, sandy soil
has produced higher yields of vege-
tables in the last four years than in
the first four years of the 32-year
period. Manure fortified with some
commercial fertilizer has been a
little superior to commercial fert-
ilizer alone in maintaining soil fert-
ility.

Glasses should be chilled too
but the really important thing
about glasses is to keep them clean.
The slightest trace of soap or
grease-even when it's invisible to
the eye-will destroy the head and
flavor of beer. The best precau-
ton against this is to scrub the
glasses in clean, hot water and dry
them thoroughly with a clean, dry
towel. In a really clean, we'll
chilled glass, beer will look and
taste it's best.
On the pouring of beer, the Mas
ter Brewers have two suggestions.
When pouring kegged beer from
tap, don't dribble it into the glass.
Open and close the tap, all the way,
for each glass. For pouring from
a bottle, there aren't any specific
rules, but the Brewers advise that
beer be poured as soon as possible
after the bottle is opened-to pro-
tect and conserve its pep and fla

The value of people can be ac-

can be accomplished, only, when
person desiring loan has in his
possession property, real estate or
something valuable as collateral.
The Jews, Greeks, Chinese, Latin

they retain their religion.

What About The West Side PLANNING
And HOUSING Our Veterans!

The problem of housing for Negroes in Phoenix has
become and acute especially for the return
ing veterans Many desirous of residences within
the city limits and perhaps financially unprepared to
commute day after day to Phoenix from out Broad
faced with tasks comparable to searching for
needle in a hay-stack.
ming Board for the City of Phoenix has brought forth
plan which if carried through would not only provide ad
dtona homes for Negroes but would perhaps assist in
the betement of of the already existing Negro resi-
dental sections In brief this plan consists of blocking
tween Sherman and Yavapa the selling of lots
veterans who would be able to FHA loans and
build nice homes and simultaneously the taxpayers
added expense of paving around the present corner os
and the building of lovely parks at appropriate places
within the section designated for blocking off.
There may be question of legality with reference
to the selling of the lots but doubt
that the community would be beautiful one in
which to live.

The Art Of
Drinking Beer

|. Good company and pleasant sur
roundings are the most important
factors in the enjoyment of drink
ing beer-but the serving of it is
important, too, if it's full, whole
some flavor is to be preserved.
The artists of the brewing indus
try = the Master Brewers - want
their customers to get the full
benefit of all the delicate flavor
and zest they've put into their
product. at the brewery.
For that reason, in their book,
"The Practical Brewer" published
by the Master Brewers Association
of America, they've outlined some
helpful ideas on how to store and
serve beer, the beverage of moder-
alton.
Beer tastes best when it's fresh
from the brewery. To help pre-
serve that freshness in storage, the
Master Brewers recommend a tenn
perature of not more than 40 de-
grees, in a place well protected
from light. Beer should always be
protected from any kind of light;
it must never be exposed to the di-
rect rays of the sun which will
noticeably affect it in few min
utes.
On the proper drinking temper
ature is 40 degrees, with 35 and As
doOrooc fhn absolute limits for
drinking pleasure. Below 35 de-
grees, beer is too cold to have its
full bouquet; above 45 degrees,
it's too warm to have its full pep
and zest. If the beer bottles are
cooled-either in a refrigerator or
an ice-tub-to 38 degrees before
opening, they'll pour at almost ex-
actly 90. For quick cooling, the
Master Brewers advise big chunks
