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, a mixture of Can
ada field peas and oats may be har
vested for hay. It is not so well
adapted to the central and southern
part of Ohio because of the failure
of peas to do well during hot weath
er which comes on sooner there.
Peas and oats have one advantage

Sudan grass, some fall pasture.
In experiments conducted at Woos
ter, by .E. Thatcher, of the De
partment of Agronomy at the Ohio
Experiment Station, peas and oats
sown in mixtures at three rates per
acre—2 bushels of peas and one of
oats, IV2 bushels of each, and 1
bushel of peas and 2 of oats—gave
the following yields of hay, respec
tively: 2.68 tons, 2.64 tons and 2.78
tons. The first mixture produced
about 540 pounds of crude protein
per acre and were very difficult to
500 pounds. The difficulty of cur
ing the first mixture, which con
tained the most pea vines, was a
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 ver ydifficult to
cure and handle. Soybeans for the
same period made 2.79 tons of hay
and yielded 890 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 Hie feeding value is less
than when mixed with pea§, if cut

Suggests Way To
Sell Farm Produce
Sales From Roadside Stands May Be
Boosted by Using Attractive
Displays
Growing* a good crop of vegetables
is only a part of the job for the gard
ener who markets his produce on the
roadside, according to E. R. Lancashire
extension specialist in vegetable gard
ening for the agricultural extension
service at the Ohio State university.
The grower produces a quality crop
first, he says, and then prepares it so
that it appeals to the consumer. Uni
formity in bunched vegetables is par
ticularly important and most buyers
prefer average sized vegetables.
Roadside market display packages
which hold amounts adapted to the im
mediate requirements of the average
family are extremely popular and
many farmers are finding them help
ful in selling their produce on the
roadside. The selling power of such
packages originates in their suggestive
nature. A half peck of peas appeals
to the housewife as the quantity she
can use for dinner. But a display of
peas in a bushel basket might not
catch her attention. Quarter peck bas
kets filled with onions and displayed
on a table at so many cents per bas
ket will frequently move readily when
bushel baskets of onions remain un
sold.
The free use of price tags also ma
terially increases sales. Many people
do not like to ask about prices. Price
tags save time. While one article is
being wrapped, the price tag may sell
another, according to Lancashire.
People almost universally judge
vegetables by their appearance. This
helps account for the great effective
ness of good displays. A good display
creates the desire to possess.
Feather Picking ’n Chicks
By Prof. H. .Munroe.
Feather picking and cannibalism
chicks is a general complaint. It 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.
in
Many of us are inclined to Marne 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. Cer
tainly any method of feeding chicks
today has more variety and balance
than cur 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
that develops coccidiosis. The most
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 a 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 90 degrees the first week and
should be lowered 5 degrees each week
until 70 degrees is reached. In other
words, harden or toughen the late
hatched chicks rapidly. Too high tem
perature in the brooder house is caus
ing a lot of trouble.

r. 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 12 states this year,
the United States Department of
Agriculture says.
The beans, more than 3,000 vari
eties of them, were gathered by W.
J. Morse of the department in a 2
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 condiions
most nearly like those in Manchuria,
Japan, Korea, and Formosa, where
they grow naturally. The soybeans
vary from those which ripen in 78
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 880,000 acres were har
vested, while in 19.31 this figure had
jumped to 1,271,000 acres.
Gives Advice On
feeding of Pigs
Pigs fed a limited 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
ducted by W. L. Robison, of the De
partment of Animal Industry, at the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion, pigs getting an average of 3
pounds of concentrate and jumilai
ones getting an average of 5.2
pounds daily a head of corn and
tankage made 17.8 and 16.3 pounds
of gain in liveweight^ respectively,
for each bushel of corn consumed.
The limited fed pigs were given ap
proximately 4 pounds of feed daily
for each 100 pounds of their live
weight. Those getting a full feed oi
concentrates reached
weight of 200 pounds 57 days ear
lier than those on the restricted ra

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
1931 was 45 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.

TU.3 STORY OF SOYBEANS
B. e. e. roquemore
Tho recent Jap-Chinese fracas has
been responsible for a. large amount
of publicity being given to the lowly
soybean. There is no doubt but what
the Manchurian soybean crop
played an important part in the re
cent conflict. Few, however, in
United States are familiar with

Turning back the pages of history
about five thousand years, we learn
that a Chinese emperor was’ respon
sible for a 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
plied the major portion of the pro
tein in the Chinese diet for many
centuries attests the w’isdom 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 a very large scale for human
consumption as well 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, oil* water proofing,
nishes, enamels, linoleum, soup
cheese. American chemists have
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 a very health
ful food, anti flour made from soy
beans is now being produced in this
country from which excellent bread is
made. A very delicious soybean pan
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.
var
and
pro-
Raw soybeans, ground soybeans,
and soybean oil meal are now being
used quite extensively in this coun
tr yas food for livestock and poultry.
It 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 a pleasing, nut-like flavor and
appetizing 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
interesting crop.

Pigs Return High
Value For Pasture
Providing an abundanc® of good
pasture throughout the growing sea*
son is of importance in attempting t®
secure maximum returns from hog
production, says W. L. Robison, of th©
Department of Animal Industry at th®
Ohio Experiment Station. Pasture
crops supply minerals and vitamins
and reduce, but do not supplant, th®
need for a protein concentrate. They
thus simplify the feeding problem by
permitting the use of a larger percent
age of grain in the ration and by mak
ing a single protein concentrate as ef
fective as is a supplement made up of
a 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. Robison 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 th®
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.
It is similar to clover in worth has a.,
high carrying capacity, is not injured
by frost, and furnishes pasture from
7 to 8 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 year’s growth of sweet clover is
too woody for pigs. Winter wheat
seeded to the spring does not head out.
A light seeding of it helps keep down,
the weeds and provides excellent for- v
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 a relatively
low carrying capacity, and provides
forage for only a comparatively short
period of time. When other crops are
difficult to produce soybean pasture
may be used to advantage for supply
ing green feed of high quality from
mid-summer until frost.
... ----o .....
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
weuttor, more of them survive.
