Farmers who find their oats are not satisfactory for seed should see their county agent or loci.l dealer who is handling adapt «d varieties.

it YOU SOYBEANS Why* You save in three basic 1 ways when you allot a field to soybeans; (a) Improve pour *«*. it proptrly handled, (b) Provide a quick, regaonably certain, abovc-a verage cash profit (c) Grow one of the few good non-surplus cash crops. The rapid advance of the soybean crop to its present important position is due to fundamentally sound agricultural and industrial reasons. In variety of uses, other farm grain crops take a back seat” by comparison It embodies about everything that could be desired of a farm crop to make it popular;— Easy and Cheap to Grow- Requires a very small cash outlay piant. Seedbed preparation is simple. Planted either in rows or broadcast—cultivation, and meth--Ixl of planting, are optional, depending upon Ute time of meding and foulness of the field. Mav be planted from early April to early July with reasonable assurance of a good erop; early planting is recommended, • however, to s»un■arher, heavier maturity best-re URGES USE OF BETTER CHICKS “Start Is What Counts” Says Purdue University Poultry men (Ry Scott llinuers Purdue Hxt.nrlon Poultry man I The chick season la here. Decide now to avoid any mistakes made last year. Hroodlng results may determine poultry piofita for a period of many months. It is no tun trying to get fall and winter eggs from poorly developed pullets. Most successful poultry raisers 1 say “the start Is what counts." They prefer to buy uuod quality ' chicks which have an opportunity to develop Into nice healthy vigorous cockerels and puUets. Good chillis are not accidents, but rather, they are the result of careful brooding and nianagen>ent progiauis by the flock owner from which haithiug uggs originate, combined with good care given by the person hatching the thicks. It costs money to produce good chicks. Livability, growth, and egg production rather than price should lie the measure. Use only uootl ohicka — chicks from desirable breading stuck properly tested for pullorum disease with the reactors removed. Movlua the brooder house allows lass dlseam- germa and parasite eggs to accumulate on the giotuid where the young chicks range. Coccidlosls germs and worm egg may live over winter tn the soil To avoid those troubles move the brooder house Ui elcuUl ground ground on which no poultry or poultry multure has been tor at least one complete year.

Very Hardy — WilhsUnds abnormal rains or drought well—is perhaps the moot hardy spring grain crop; no crop failure has ever been recorded so far; yields nave been consistently good. Any Soil — The soybean has Pnwed itself well adapted to almost all soil conditions--hilly or level; clay, loam or sand: fertile or run-down. Insert itertstaM—A big factor in the soybeans favor, particularly where the chinch bug has threatened com so seriously. Harvesting is very simple, involving very little work and tunc, and a minimum of weather hazards. Crop Rotation Is not disturbed by alloung fields to soybeans They have definitely established themselves as more dependable and profitable than oats. If planted at all early, they harvest in plenty of time to follow with wheat, without any seedbed preparation. Efiert Upon Soil —ls properly innoculaieti and the straw rei turned to the soil, either by combine- harvesting, or as manure, soybeans definitely add to the nitrogen in the soil, and have a loosening effect, promoting batter Ifawth, and saving work, for the succeeding crop. Oil Content Important — There is a great difference in the oil content of the different varieties of soybeans. Beans grown for commercial uses rhould be of Uu htgn oil-yield varieties Ready Cash Markets await your soybean crop immediately upon harvesting, because soybean oil and meal have a ready and growing market Indiana’s largest processir< plant (Central Soya 9°- ,nc - Decatur. Ind.) alone handles 7.500,000 bushels yearly. The soybeans from approximatch 1.000 acres are n<-eded every day in this plant Here is a nearby ready market for Indiana and western Ohio beans. EXPANDING MARKETS are indicated and assured by such developments as are mentioned below. The U. S.

Products Laboratories In the ! growing areas to study iu application to industrial fields. , Uvmloek and Poultry Feed- — Agricultural Experiment Stations ' 1 Mi farm taedloia are daily pro- j ducing new data proving the (<.<>d value ot this economical and highly digestible protein concentrate. Food ProdurU A Indwvlrial fare —Soybean oil is both a technical I oil and a highly nutritious edible ' oil, finding use in increasing I quantities in shortening*, table I spreads, soaps paints, and var- 1 nishes, linoleum, printing inks, synthetic rubber, celluloid, waterproofing, foundry cores, etc. Soybean oilmeal ia proving to be a practical and better raw material for piastres; is bec< ming widely used in glues wall paper and wall coatings, insulating materials, fertilizers, etc. Not a Treapaaarr—ln these new developments, aoybean products tread but little, if any, upon other Indiana farm products. Soybean products extend the effectiveness or valuable materials that arc becoming costly and scarce: fill gaps left by depiction of natural resources; and most importent, provide materials for entirely new, less costly products of beauty, convenience, and nourishment. FAT AND OIL IMPORTS 3,000 tons ot vegetable and animal oils are being importi-d daily from foreign •ourws—<o'- of our annual consumption Indiana farmers should b<- furnishing their needed to dam this foreign SOO'; Increa-e in present soybean acreage is needed to covi r the percentage of these imported requirements that soybean oil could satisfy. 33' ; Increase in present tallow and grease production is required in blocking this tide of foreign oils. That means more livestock should be produced, more soybean oilmeal, the superior ingredient, fed. Re-cheek yo«r spring planting program. Confirm the -oundneaM of th<-«e augge-tion- with your local grain dealer. If you .haven't included some soybean acreage in thia : year's crop program—Reconsider!

GRADES MAY BE GOOD PRUDUCEHS Testing Is Profitable For All Owners Os Dairy Herds In Area tHy G A. Williams ExiAusiou Dulryama.

WATER RUN-OFF CAUSES EROSION Practical Control Methods For Indiana Farms Are Discussed La fays 11«. Ind . Mar 2* — "The principal lyp«* of onailon affect lux Indiana noils la caused by the runoff of water and is known as waler erosion." Il O. Cole. Puidue d‘ orally extension soil coiiaer- * ♦t-w'st. told Indiana farmers receuuy. He continued by saying. "There are many factors which contribute to Increase erosion damages auih as soli type, per cent of slope, leugih of slope, amount of previous erosion and amount and type of cover." "Some soil types are more eranive than others because of their physical |n often les and subsoil is not as obsorptlve of rainfall as Mr-* face soil." ke i«duied out. "An In-1 crease In the amount of organic matter present also tends to decrease runoff, and the protectiv-: cover on land such as that furn- j ished hy protected woods, a gruel j pasture or meadow will reduce the ; amount of soil which can be removed by the water." he continued. Buffer Stripes "Buffer strips, which are usually narrow strips of meadow or permanent sod established ou the eontour. serve to shorten or ‘break up' the slope, thereby slowing the movement of water down the slope, t arrying this process a Utile further. the slope is often divided into alternate and equal contour strips of cultivated or small grain crops and meadow crops. The water striking the meadow strips is affected very much like a moving ve-' hide is when the brakes are up- j plied, ’ Cole pointed out. “Terraces are a proeeM ot dividing a long slope into a aeries of short ones hy the construction of ridges across the slope Those rid- ■' ; gea are planned so that ihe channel ala>ve each one has a very I slight grade, varying from about i 1 om- Inch to four or five Inchea per one hundred feet of length of the lerace clianm-l. AU of the wat- ■ er that falls iu each terrace channel and Is slowly conducted off th" field to a well sodded terrace outlet." be concluded. and preserve the present supply of red ink now on hand for generations ye*, unborn. Culling an underfed aiid poorly nourished herd may be as disastrous as no culling at 1 all. Thia Is equally true In either reglMered or grade herds. 1 When many owners of grade herds are solicited for membership in a Dairy Herd Improvement Asso- • elation, they decline on the ground that records are only for the purs I bred animals. This is not the cam-. A herd of grade cows In a north i ern Indiana association had the 1 feeding program changed by the - owner after the tester had made - bis recommendation for the mouth. Next month the value of milk production im leased |fi&. and the cost ot feed waa reduced *2B. Had tins dairyman delayed the keeping <>t feed aial milk records uni II his 1 herd consisted of registered animals, his uneconomical methods of ' feeding might have forced him out of the dairy business. o— — ■ --- Trade In a Good Town — Oeestur ■ ■■ ■ !
