There Is little use in producing crops efficiently It they are to be fed to inefficient livestock, say Purdue Valve-rally specialises. The most overlooked kind of farm relief is self help. It costs little, returns much, and promises a bright future. Keep breeding and calving records on your cows in order to know when to dry them up so they will have time to ft?st and to build Up or “overhaul" themselves. Livestock gathers much of its own living and generally markets grain at a higher price. Ilogs hauled more than 40 miles to market give best market returns when fed at the market Instead of prior to loading at the farm. A tired hog won't eat. so don't fail to get hogs to market early. thereby allowing for a rest period before feeding.

EXPLAINS USE OF SOYBEANS Effect On Soil Determined By Way Crop Is Handled, Expert Says Urbana, 111., July 8. — Mtect on the soil of the 1939 soytx-au crop will depend largely u|m>h the way the soylH-aua are handled. Il is explained by O. ||. Sears, assoc lata chief In soil biology, College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. 11l Bulletin No. 456. "Soybeans Their effect on Soli Productivity,* which has just been Issued by the Illinois agricultural college, Sears explained the effort of soybeans on the soil from the standpoint of the use to which they are put, their relation to soil tilth, their tendency toward erosion, the activity of soil bacteria, plant food balance in the soil and other crops in the rotation. These have become the most debated questions of all time hi soil management, as a result of the rapid expansion in soybean acAage during recent years. "Best control of erosion on soybean fields la obtained by drilling them solid on the contour and following them with a winter cover < rop of small grata also drilled on the contour," he said. Helative to the effects of soybeans on the nitrogen content of the soil, he' pointed out that unless part of the tope of the aoyliean plant is returned in some form to tlic soil, nitrogen will be depleted. This la true even thitagh well-nod-ulated plants may obtain about two-thirds of their nitrogen from the air. Combining Beans Combining the beans and leaving the straw on the laud may cause a slight Increase in the nitrogen content of the sol) if the added nitrogen is not lost by leaching before it can be used up by the following crop. Used as green manure, Kugheaits supply organic matter containing from go to 100 pounds of uitrogen an acre. However, the relatively high coat of such green manure is a drawback to using soybeans for su< h purposes except under special conditions. On many soils not In a high state of the same grade and quality to the Commodity Credit Corporatbm when the wheat loan matures. The seven-cent allowance is in addition to the loan itself. flood wheat, properly stored, is the only security a farmer will be required to put up for his loan, says Mr. Gerke. To store wheat that will remain g«>od security, farmers will need storage bins that will: 1. Hold the wheat without loss of quality. 3. Protect the wheat against wrether conditions which may cause deterloratbm. 3. Provide protection from thieves, rodents, birds, poultry, and Insect*. 4. Permit effective tumigalion for destroying Inai-cts. &. Provide reasonable safety from fire and wind. 6 Require forcible breaking in order to be entered when sealed. The word of farm storage in regard to the 1*36 wheat loan indicates thai farmers are able to provide good storage facilities on their farms. During a recent reinspection of about 19,taw bins In nine western States, eight north central States. Texas, and Oklahoma. only 24 bins were in such condition that Inspectors recommended that limns be discontinued. In addition to needed repairs to the bins themselves, the damage that was found came chiefly from weevils, birds, mice, and weather. Mr. Gerke points out that farmers will need to mak» sure their blns wilt protect stored wheat against damage from such sources.

The cracks and crevices In the bin. where grain may he lodged or where beetles have sought shelter, should bi' sprayed with kerosi-ne or one of the household fly sprays.

COMBINE CAN BEDANGEBOUS Safety Rales For Operation Os .Machine* Are Listed In Story I rbaiia. 111., July 8. As combines pull into fields to harvest the 1*39 grain crops. R. C, Hay, extonsl<m apwctaUat in agricultural engineering. College of Agriculture. Vntveralty <<f Illinois, Hats a number of safety factors to bo observed in the safe operation of combines In the first place, he said, a smieith t uiinlng machine in g<sid repair la a safer machine. Before harvest time it will pay to check •h«» machine, replace broken and worn parta and see that all Ixilta •tad nuts are tight. Ntartlng the mai-hine before all loose; parts have been removed Is dangerous. The fact that the combine motor can kick just as hard as any motor makes It advisable to observe caution In cranking the combine motor. Kven If there Is danger In cranking the motor, it la a gesxl Idea to turn It off while the fk< I tank is being filled Stop For Repair. Furthermore, It Is safer to stop to make repairs or adjustments that can not be made from the tractor seat or operator's jdatform while the machine is running The wise operntor stays on the operator's platform while the machine is in operation, and does not climb on and off the machine while It Is tn motion. The tractor driver and combine operators must always be alert when their machines are in operation. When drowsy they had better take a few minutes to stop and relax rather than to take a chance on being thrown off. run over or mangled. It is best to stay away from the power take-off drive shaft when it Is running. All the shields pro-vidi-d for this shaft should be firmly fastened in place. Children should not be permitted to ride on a moving combine or the tractor pulling the machine. They enjoy the ride, but the risk is too great. It is poor policy for anyone to walk In front of the sickle of a moving combine. If minor wounds are suffered, they should be cleaned and dressed promptly, since combining is a dirty job. Putting the combine away in good order at the end of the season will make It possible to start on a sfer and more satisfactory combine season the next year. thrive in moldy and damp grain: therefore. Davis says it Is desirable to avoid cutting wheat two early and especially if tho combine la used. After grain Is placed in the bin. it should b>' examined occasionally and If weevils or beetles are found, the grain should be moved »r fumigated with carbon bisulphide.
