SOY Beans
This crop, the plants of which sere

and less subject to injury by frost, is
coming more ',and more into general
'use. , Western Ontd'rio and butch of
Central Ontario can successfully
grow soy beans for fodder when suit-

western Ontario, several varieties
ripen seed. Soy 'beans prefer .a good
sandy loam but will give good re-
sults on looms and clay learns where
the drainage is good. When sown
for seed in rows thirty inches apart,

The O.A.C. No. 211, a mediumear-
ly ripening variety, has proven oven to be
the largest yielder- o1 grain: and one
of the best yielders of green fodder
in the experiments at the College,
Many farmers in South-western -On-
take have suceessfully g'rown this
variety both for grain and green fod-
der.
When- soy beans are used along
with corn for silage in Ontario; it is
usually best to grow the crops sep-
arately. A comparatively, small
yield of soy beans will be obtained
if grown in the mixture along with
corn. At this date it would be hag -
tuitions to
ag-ardous'to sow soy beans with the,
idea of producing a grain crop ex-
cept possibly in the South-western
peninsula. Tlie crop, however if a
variety like the,O,A.C. No, 211 were
used could ;be sown for fodder or an-
nual hay in Western Ontario as date
as 11fay. 24th. Soy` beans make the
best hay or greet} fodder if cut when
the -pods are about one-half grown.
Peas: and Oats
This mixture, sown at the rate of
2 bushels of oats and 1 bushel of peas
per „acro, makes an excellent annual
hay crdp. Varieties well suited for
growing' in the mixture are D.A.0
No. 72, O,A.O. No, 144 or Banner
Oatsalong with Golden Vine, O.A.C,
No. 181, McKay or Prussian Blue
peas, Best hay from the mixture
is produced if the err is cut when
the pea 'pods ares about one-half
grown. Tt is handled and cured
like any other hay evop, Inaddition
to being an excellent annual hay
crothe
p,.above "mixture makes a
first-class soiling crop. The best re-
sults from using this mixture have
been obtained when it was sown ear-
ly in the season, but with favorable
weather following, it can be sown as
late as May 24th with good results.
Vetches are sometimes included in
the above combination but experi-
ments at Guelph and the experience
of farmers in Western Ontario indi-
cate`that a smaller yield per acre is
obtained. Both Hairy and Common
Vetch. seed is quite expensive.
Rape
This is one of the best -late pasture
crops grown in the'l'rovince. It is
less injured by severe frost than aI-
rhost any other crop. The cultivated
crop grown in Ontario is a biennial
and care should, be taken not to eon-
fasq it with: the annual or birdseed
rape. The. safest plan in buying
seed is to order it by variety name or
to ask for pasture rape. Rape does
best on deep, rich, moist soils with
a plentiful supply of humus. It grows
well on muck soils if they are not
too wet, Rape' may be sown from
early spring until as late as the
first part of August. ,Much of the
rape grown in the Province, however,
-is sown during the first two weeks
in dune. From MO to two pounds
of seed is required to sow an acre
in drills, and from four to five
pounds when it is sown broadcast.
Rape gives its largest yields when
own in drills 28 to 80 inches apart.

experiments at the Ontario Agric.

The Common method of harvesting
rape is to pasture it off with sheep,
hogs or cattle. In pasturing there
is a danger of animals bloating if
tdrned on rape when hungry or when
the plants are wet. The safe plan
is to turn animals on rape for a
short .tune at first and let them have

TIALDWIN SAYS TB AT GREAT
BRITAIN CAN'T DO .ALL THE
WAR -DEIST PAYING
LONDON, May 17.—"Foreign nat-
"tions must not expect Great Britain
to do all the disarming aid the debt
paying," declared Prime Minister
Stanley Baldwin in a campaign
speech at :Monmouth, when he dis-
cussed the work of the League of
Nations.
"That is not the spirit of the
league and the covenant," he went
on. "We have all got to march for-
ward together and we will march
with the quickest, as we ` have been
riding. • 'We aro marching a little
quickerat the moment, but the
other nations ,cannot lag indefinitely
behind. The Iast thing we want' to
see is Europe split ogee more into
hostile camps." •
The Premier then spoke ofthe
Conservative government's perform-
ance in the past four or five' years.
"Do you want to see Parliament
talking or working?", he asked. "I
am. all fits: a workshop, with promises
being fulfilled by performance. Many
of our critics think the :sole' object
o a parliament is to provide enter-
,taining reading every morning, They
would like a crisis every week, in
which the gladiators would cover
thenjselves with glory.
"The fact is, our crime is that we
gat onwith the job much better
than anyone expected, and we have
done it with so little boasting the
public says we have' been asleep."
