weeds !« before the soybeans ars planted. This does more to control weeds iu the soyeau crop than any one other operation. We like to prepare the field early that is to be planted to soybeans. Let the weed seed think you have already planted the beans. They will come up with a jump. Then, you play a dirty trick on them by’Working

J the ground again. By this time the ground is warm enough to bring the solbean up in a burry--a new crop of weed seed will sprout, too. Now you slauhter this second wave of charging weeds with another harrowing or rotary hoeing two or three days after planting and just before the soybeans come up.” Continuing Hodgson says, ‘»Dur-

ing the time from sprouting until the first true leaves are formed the soybean plants are rather tended and brittle. You could hurt tlvetn then by harrowing. But, after they get 'about 4 inches high they become limp on a hot afternoon and you can go throuh them to your heart’s content. When they get a little larger they will stand a lot •

of dragging. I have hitched a rotary hoe behihd the tractor and a 2aection harrow' behind the hoe and gone at hih speed all the afternoon with no appreciable damage to the beans. Os eoursp, if the weeds are large and well rooted the harrow will not hurt them either.” "A rotary hoe Is a wonderful machine for cultivating soybeans

if the weather and weeds are right. The ground must be dry and the weeds small. Then the hoe will do an excellent Job and the faster It oes (up to 15 miles per hour at least) the better.” "But. too often when the weeds are ready the ground is wet. By the time it is dry the weeds are well rooted. That's why we generally plant our beans in rows now. A cultivator can at least get most of the weeds between the roWs. And, every weed cuts down the yield of soybeans.” “We like 24-inch rows because they cover the ground more quick- ' ly and so take less cultivation. We plant plenty of seed, about 120 pounds per acre, in 24-ineh rows which gives beans about an inch apart in the row. Growing good yields of soybeans seems to us to be mainly a matter of weed conI trol and plenty of plants per acre.” ; Now to sum up. After the man, ! probably the two outstanding faeI tors contributing to high yielding j are varieties well adapted to your | growing season and high fertility ; soil. Then, too, you must do all I the other required things promptly and on time, and this includes paying the preacher, for nature must be kind to you. giving you an adequate supply of moisture, sunshine, air. and the correct temperature, all of which contribute | greatly to plant food availability I and growth which result in heavy yields.
