Soybean Yield Here ’ * Two Million Dollars >1 I Soybean Popular On Adams County Farms i • , Soybean growers of Adams couni ty received 12.088.000 of the 100 million dollars parti to Indiana , growers forthe 0 1947 soybean crop , of 28 million bushels, according to i a survey of corn belt experiment stations and agricultural colleges This figure Is based on a conservative value of 12.40 per bushel. An estimated 614.000 bushels of soybeans were harvested by Adams county farmers. Wbrd Calland. managing director of the national soybean crop improvement council, safa that asid»from the large return that fanners get for their soybeans a second Important reason for the popularity of the soybean is that It removes less plant food from the soil than most other farm crops. "The soybean takes less from the soil because it makes an important part of the fooil It needs.” Mr Calland states. “An annual legume, the soybean adds some nitrogen to the soil. When properly Inoculated the soybean plant gets much of It* nitrogen from the air and when only the Irfans are removed from the field more nitrogen Is left behind than the plant drew from the soil." the survey sets forth. • "The nitrogen addition is not large, but compared with nitrogen losses of 50 pounds from a- 5o bushel corn crop. 26 pounds from 40 bushels of oats, or 35 pounds from 25 bushels. of wheat. It puts the soybean crop on the right side of the ledger for its, nitrogen supply. Nitrogen Js the most expensive plant food nutrient added to the soil in the form of fertilizer.** This advantage of the soybean <Top has been pointed out by ’ agronomists at Purdue I’nlverslty. I according tn Mr Calland "They I found that soybeans Improve the tilth of the soil, leaving it loose, frlahle. easy to work and In excellent shape for a seeding of wheat, rye or. winter grain.” The survey shows that a 25-ycar old crop rotation experiment at Purdue where a rotation of com. wheat, clover, was compared with corn, wheat, soybeans, and clover, the sovbeans fn the rotation Increased' the yields of corn and' wheat six and sevep bushels re- i spectlvely compared to usp of no! soybeans in the rotation. These long-time testa at Purdue show that both small grain and hay! crops yield better on soybean ■ stubble than afjer com. Ohio) reports Increased yields of com J and oats when soybeans were add- 1 ed to a rotation of corn. oats, sweet clover, on heavy soils This experience has been confirmed byfarmers throughout the corn-belt, it Is stated. The development of better adapted varieties of higher yielding ability and letter oil content also has helped to popularize the soybean crop, according to many Adams county growers.
