Busche, County Agent) The wet ‘spell" now being experienced, together with the general backward conditions, is going to make corn planing late. In fact some fields will need to be planted late that the advisability of planting them at all will be questionable. Tills condition will furnish a fine opportunity to try out a field of soybeans, since they can bo planted much later than corn with a good chance for a full crop. Although near , June first in recommended as being , the best time to sow In Adams county : the chances for success with the crop ' are good, if sown up until June 15th. Most farmers are short of hay. at least the kind that makes milk. Moro , cows were wintered on corn fodder ■luring the past season than for sonioq time and the milk and cream checks reflected that (act. Those not having a field of clover or alfalfa cannot afford to m'ss sowing a field of soybeans for hay. Trying Io produce j milk without a legume hay Is as i much an "up-hill" business an trying to run a flivver without oil. Soybeans yield well, two tons per acre being a conservative average, it is not hard to make, although it requires a little more ordinary hay. Those who have given it a fair trial claim Rood soybean hay is as Rood for dairy cows as alfalfa hay. When soylteans arc permitted to

nature and are threshed the beans may be used in various ways. The "4-2-1" Purdue grain ration for milk cows, consisting of 406 pounds corn, 200 pounds oats and 100 pounds soybeans, ground together, has been recommended for some time and is giving extra good results. Any farm er admits cottonseed meal or oil meal are excellent milk producers. Now Instead of saying, "Oil Meal is too highpriced," the farmer can say, "I grow my own oil meal.” Results of several feeding at Purdue shows soys substitute admirably well for tankage In feeding hogs. Again wo hear farmers say, "Sure! Tankage makes pigs grow but it costs too much.” Without arguing the csae these same farmers, if they will can say, T grow my own tankage and it surely does make the pigs grow."
