National Soybean Council Calls

The Fairgrounds has an addition of 250 new pine seedlings as of last Monday. Way back in the northeast corner there is a large hill. This is an ideal setting for trees for 4-H members to use in workshops and demonstrations. All of us are dependent on wood resources, and since the growing of trees is a long term process, we feel that replenishing our wood supply is necessary. If we agree that the above is correct, then someone must do something about it. The forest people are doing a good job, but they can’t do everything themselves. People must be trained to do this work on their own. This partially explains the need of the 4-H Forestry project. It is to train boys and girls the care, use, and appreciation of nature’s woodland. Last Monday's weather seemed threatening to the tree planting demonstration, however, when the time came to start, the rain held back and the soil was in good condition. The hazy sky protected the seedling roots from drying too much. Then that evening brought rain which will be a boost. So actually, conditions were favorable, even though some thought it would be too wet.

For Higher Soybean Yields

Those that helped plant the trees were Tom Price, Debby Branneman, Audrey Boruff, Yvonne Boruff, Steve Edwards, Billy Perkins, Mike Grove, Kevin Fidler, Steve Stamper, Kevin Jordan, Tom Koenig, Gary Evens, Mrs. John Boruff and Junior Jordan. Those giving instructions were Forrest Miller, Extension Forester; Bob Koenig, Service Forester; Paul Jackson, County Agent and myself. We must give thanks to the State Department of Natural Resources for the trees and

The District Ag A lu m n i meeting was held at Crawfordsville. Dean Robert Schwarz of the North Central Regional Campus was the featured program. Dean Schwarz demonstrated the phenomena of Extra Sensory Perception. It was difficult to believe these predictions could be done, which seemed to be on the up and up. Whatever the case, it was very entertaining. e e e Controlling weeds with chemicals in field crops, forages, turf and vegetable and fruit crops is covered in a publication of Indiana Cooperative Extension at Purdue University. “Weeding With Chemicals—1967 Guide,” ID-1, offers details on the type of chemical to use, the weeds that can be controlled and the method of treatment. In all, some 70 plants where chemical control is concerned, are discussed.

WASHINGTON, D. C. — A six-member national Soybean Council of Champions has called for higher U.S. soybean yields to increase farmers’ net profits and meet increasing world demand. U.S. producers currently supply nearly 70 per cent of the world’s soybeans, 95 per cent of the world export supply. The Council, composed of top soybean producers from major bean-growing areas, met here to draw up a “C h a m p i o n s’ Plan” for increasing farmers’ yields per acre. They stated that U.S. soybean yields have stood at 25 bushels per acre average since 1960, increasing only slightly since 1950. Their call for higher yields points out that U.S. producers can increase yields profitably with present production knowledge. Six bushels more per acre over the next few years, they said, will nearly double farmers’ net profit per acre. Soybeans currently account for nearly $2 billion income to farmers in 30 states. Better crop management and improved production practices can add substantially to this figure, the Council pointed out. To focus attention on practices that would increase U.S. yields, Council members outlined a “Champions’ Plan for Higher Soybean Yields.” The nine-point Plan was endorsed

by both government and industry officials, including VicePresident Hubert Humphrey meeting with Council members in the Capitol. Key points of the Champions’ Plan, recommended for the consideration of all U.S. soybean producers include:

Fertilizer Program — Build and maintain a high level of soil fertility. Test soil for major elements at least every three years. Minor elements may be needed in specific areas. Liming Program — Keep a near neutral soil pH level through the top foot of soil. Seedbed Preparation — Plow deep or chisel. Use light shallow cultivation once or twice before planting to smooth the

seedbed and to control early weeds. Row Width and Seeding Rate —Plant only sufficient beans to insure adequate stand—avoid ommendations for row width and plant spacing for varieties used.

Weed Control Program — Weed control is one of the most important yet most neglected areas of soybean production. Weeds often cut yields in half. Know specific weed problem. Plan a total program to control them. Early control is vital. Herbicides are the key to modern soybean weed control. To help build soil structure and conserve moisture, c u 11 i vate shallow and only when necessary to control weeds and

break crusts. Moisture Management Program—Work for good subsoil reserves at planting — maximum intake of rainfall during season — minimum evaporation before plants shade ground. Seed Selection—Switch soon as possible to new improved varieties which fit your maturity needs. Use disease resistant varieties in disease problem areas. Certified seed is best guarantee of quality seed. Know the variety, germination and purity of the seed you plant. Seed inoculation pays! Reduce Harvest Losses—Cut low and cut slow. Combine early to reduce shattering lossI es, adjust combine to your har- • vest conditions.

The opening ceremony was the pledge of allegiance and the Cub Scouts reciting the Cub Scout Promise. A belated Easter skit was given by Den 2 with the help of their Den Mother, Johnnie Robinson. In keeping with the theme of the month, “Handymen,” Den 3 gave a demonstration. Lee Sheppard gave the demonstration on “How to Sharpen a Knife,” and the different stones that can be used. In preparation for an April Hike, Glen Stringer had the Scouts make paper cups out of a square of paper.
