Soy Bean Hay Is , i Gaining in Favor Big Increase Noted in Acre age and Production — Gain in Yield. (Prepared by the Wilted Statee Department of Agriculture.) The soy bean is getting more at tention every year as a hay crop, says the Unltjfil States Department of Agricultsme. Just how fast this use of the crop is increasing is shown by figures on production for the years 1922 and 1923. In nineteen states for which the figures are available, the total acreage devoted to soy bean hay was 569,000 and by 1923 It had In creased to 794,000. Total production In 1922 . was 782,000 tons while in the succeeding year it was 1,155,000 tons. Not only was there an increase in the total production but In the yield per acre, the Increase being from 1.39 to 1.45 tons per acre. Growth of Crop for Hay. Alabama was the only state in which there was a decrease. In the other eighteen the crop either held Its own or Increased. A number of states In the Middle West show the greatest growth of this crop for hay purposes, but there are other states in various sections where It is an important feeding factor. In Illinois during the two years in question the acreage In creased from 70,000 to 137,000; In Indiana from 29,000 to 95,000; in Missouri from 33,000 to 68,000; in lowa from 7,000 to 10,000; in Ohio from 30,000 to 50,000, and In Wiscon sin from 11,000 to 14,000. North Carolina increased its acreage from 05,000 to 70,000; Tennessee from 125.- 000 to 130,000; Kentucky produced 33,- 000 both years. That the crop is grown for hay In the East as well as in the Middle West and South is shown by figures for Maryland which increased its acreage from 10,000 to 12,000; Vir ginia which increased from 40,000 to 48,000; West Virginia which grew 5,- 000 both years; and Delaware which grew 3,000 acres in both seasons. The figures compiled by the depart ment for the last two crops seem to show that slightly better yields of soy beans have been obtained in the eastern states. In 1922 the average for Maryland was two tons and for 1923 1% tons to the acre. For Dela ware it was 1.75 and 1.4 for these years. In Virginia the average was 1.8 for both years and West Virginia 1.7. The average for the country for both years was under 1% tons, the lowest yields being in Georgia and South Carolina. Soy bean hay, if cut at the right time, is of high feeding value and ap petizing to all kinds of live stock. It is high in protein and takes the place of a considerable quantity of high priced concentrate. Another excellent feature of the crop is that it may be sown In an emergency when some other hay crop has failed to winter well. It can be cut any time from the setting of the seed until the leaves begin to turn yellow, but the maxi mum returns can be made by cutting it at a time when the pods are well formed. Perhaps a better quality of hay will be produced by earlier cut ting but the yield will not be so great. Late cutting produces a hay too fibr ous to be the best kind of feed. Easy to Cure Beans. Those who have made cowpea hay will find that it is considerably easier to cure soy beans. Cutting may ee gin in the morning as soon as the dew is off and continued the rest of the day. One of the important things to remember is that hay should be raked up after the leaves have be come wilted but before they are dry, otherwise many of them will break off and there will be a heavy loss of one of the most valuable parts of the crop. The hay may be left In wind rows for a day or so, if the weather is suitable, and then placed In small cocks or bunches. For making good soy bean hay about 5 or 6 days of good curing weather is sufficient. This length of time is necessary because practically all of the curing is done in the cock, which if well constructed will prevent damage by rain and snow. When weather conditions are unfavor able many farmers use frames on which to pile the freshly cut hay so that extra good ventilation is pro vided. The frames are usually 3 or 4-sided pyramids made of boards or poles, 3 to 6 feet long, fastened to gether at the top and held at the bot tom by cross pieces. When such frames are used it is possible to pile the hay on them immediately after it is cut and produce a good quality of feed. Several Effective Ways to Destroy Field Pests There are several effective means of destroying the pests which burrow in the fields. Poisoning with strychnine, trapping, flooding and fumigating with carbon bisulphide are popular meth ods. The mole is difficult to destroy in any other manner than by trapping. Poison Is the most effective means of destroying the rodents. Flooding, of course. Is only possible In certain cases. Carbon bisulphide is used fre quently but in the case of moles con siderable gas is lost where the run way is near the surface of the ground, and the efficiency of the method is seriously impaired. There is also some difficulty in using carbon bisulphide due to the fact that the runways are not all on the same level and the gns will remain in the lowest portions, not rising to fill the runway where it ap proaches the aurface of the ground. - ■ 1 ’ —— l Filpishows Control of the Grasshopper Government Picture Shows Methods of Fighting Insect (Prepared by the United Statee Department of Agriculture.) “Hoppers,” a film dealing with grass hopper control, ' particularly in the western states, - has Just been com pleted by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. This picture shows various methods of fighting grasshoppers, including the hopper catcher, the “balloon,” and large flocks of turkeys, but particular stress is laid upon the poisoned bait method of killing hoppers, and upon thorough plowing and harrowing of fields for. destroying, hopper eggs. Scenes illus trative of a community campuign. in cluding a big “mixing bee," constitute the body of the picture. The bureau of entomology advocates such neigh borhood campaigns as an effective means of checking grasshopper infes tations in the spring and early sum mer. Interesting features of this picture are scenes taken on “grasshopper glacier," in Montana, where prehis toric hoppers are found frozen' In the ice, and scenes taken In Africu show ing great flights of grasshoppers such as are supposed to-have figured in the Mosaic chrotficle of the Plague of Locusts. The film is In two reels. It will be circulated through the film distri bution system of the Department of Agriculture and the co-operating state institutions. Copies may be borrowed for short specified periods, of may be bought by authorized purchasers at the laboratory charge. Diseases and Pests of Many Garden Vegetables From the time the seeds of garden evops are put into the ground until the crops are gathered, 'diseases and Insects may appear that must be fought. Vegetable troubles are due to numerous causes, including, unfa vorable soil conditions, too wet or too dry, too rich or too poor, lack of hu mus or lime, weuther unsuited to some crops, careless use of fertilizers, or at tacks of fungi or other parasites. The adoption of the best horticultural prac tice —crop rotation, the careful appli cation of fertilizers suited to each crop, adequate cultivation-, the plant ing of all crops in their proper sea son —is important for the successful growing of garden crops. The con trol of diseases due to fungi, bacteria, and other enemies requires special ad ditional treatment, as does the dam age caused by insects. The purpose of Farmers’ Bulletin No. 1371, Issued by the Department of Agriculture, is to present briefly con trol measures for the more important insects and fungous and bacterial dis eases of the home-garden vegetable crops. Best Plan to Save Feed by Discarding All Males It will cost about $1.50 to feed each male in the poultry flock until next year, and since the males are of no value to the flock until next breeding season. It Is natural to ask. why feed them for eight months without returns, especially when new blood Is needed to help build up the flock? You can purchase new cockerels from any reliable .breeder and save the feed money and time In raising them, and new cockerels will mean better baby chicks and a larger per centage raised next year, according to poultry specialists. Infertile eggs will keep better dur ing the hot summer days, and they have a better market value than the fertile eggs. After a fertile egg ger minates and the blood rings begin to form, the eggs are not good for hu man food. “Swat the rooster and pro duce infertile eggs” should be the slogan.

Like strychnin, it is sometimes jjiven by doctors in cases of heart failure. The average cup of coffee contains the usual dose of caffein administered in such cases- The alarming foolishness of taking this poison regularly into the system is borne out by the frightful limitation of health and usefulness as compared with the length of life.
