SEAFORTH,_FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1920. snot SOY BEANS IN WISCONSIN One' of our good up -state lawyers in Wisconsin was walking dpwn the street one day last fall when he met an old span of mules hitched to a dilapidated Wagon. Apparently the mules were running away. At least they were going so fast that he could not see who the owner was. Sudden- ly a high-powered car passed 'the city policeman, who seemed to pay little attention to the speed violator.- The young attorney, feeling that the town officer should, attend to business bet- ter, 'asked him why he did not stop the demons. The only reply he could get was: . "Those fellows are raising soy beans." ' And so it is all over the state of , Wisconsin; the farmers who are rats- , .ing soy beans are filled with pep. Every -yarn that is repeated about soy. beans. some other fellow beats. Inr . fact, we fellows who are 'going round the state spreading the • soy- bean gospel are always prepared for one just a little bigger. The nice thing !about these testimonies con- cerning soy beans is that they are all true -no white lies. Wisconsin is enthusiastic over this wonder crop because it is filling a place which no other crop has even aproached yet in this state. It being a high -protein legume, those farmers living on the light;aoils by the way, we do have a few acres of them -have at last found sow crop that will help them out of eke rut. lila but This sand=farming is anything pleasant. ,thiany a farmer has been led to believe that he could make a succesct-•of light -soil farming by keep- ing plenty of livestock and raising clgqv'er and in emergency letting the slfeep eat up the green jack pines. So he could, if this much -prized clover had kept on 'growing and made a crop. After failing with clover one way, the farmer, being a good sport, used to stick to it and try another, only to find that he still was unsuc- cessful about three out of" four times. In some cases, after three or four failures the settler would gather to- gether his little family and move where timber`; was thicker and' soil was heavier, or else he went back to the city, knowing surely/that nothing worse could. happen to him. In some sections where. soil is extremely light the whole set of settlers leaves every seven years, very much like the re- capitulation of an insect, and a whole new set of settlers starts out afresh where the other left off. These light -soil farmers in start- ing used their cash for equipment and livestock, depending at first upon adjacent wild meadows for forage. As time went on conditions• became worse. The soil kept getting poorer because. no legume seemed to grow, and the barnyard manure that was applied was from wild hay which act- ed only -as a binder instead of a stimulator. Buildings became poor- er, fields which were once worked again 'grew up to jack pines, and everything took on a gloomy appear- ance. Now, with the advent of the soy bean, things are `changing. The light soil farmer is becoming interested and when a light -soil farmer in Wiscon- sin •gets interested it takes more than hailstorms, ten. feet of snow banks and sixty degrees below zero to keep him away from a meeting. This light -soil farmer is a reader and a worker and he is willing to try any- thing which will help him enrich his soil, fill his haymows and provide. him with some cash__ All classes of farmers in Wisconsin are interested in the soy bean as a soil improver. On heavy soils, when with soy beans have been planted corn for silage, farmers express themselves in favor of the method even for the gained fertility. Fred Pabst, living in Waukesha County, in but in many other sections the only 1919 had 300 acres of corn and soy' ' system farmers will use is right to- gether with the corn. Wisconsin, the same as Minnesota and other states, if 'the soil is . good enough, can produce all kinds of weeds. I well remember that stub- born, tough -bitted, headstrong old span ofemules that I used to cultivate corn with back in. Minnesota and how they would keep me guessing because they always thought the row ended about six rods from the fence and would keep me busy dodging Maybe I - was more headstrong than they were, but still I recall how that old cornfield was filled with all kinds of weeds-rag1, eeds, lamb's -quarter, smartweed and cockleburs all taking their turn in sapping moisture and fertility from the ground. _ Now, if soy beans had been in their place the nitrogen content -of the soil would have been improved if the seed beans had been properly inoculated. As far as moisture is concerned, I be- lieve that soy beans' would take no more moisture than those old weeds. The work of seeding, cultivating and filling the silo would be. no nioreethan with the corn alone. As for the silage, we turn again to the actual farmer. We know from. analysis that the protein content of an acre of soy beans and corn is about sixty to a hundred pounds more than an acre of silage corn alone, but what do feeders says? A farmer in Wood County told me that his cows had been gaining about one pound of milk daily for the past week. As hewas weighingeep- ing accurate account by at each milking, he looked into the mat- ter and found the unusual gain due to the soy -bean and corn silage. Another farmer at Browntown, in Green County, said: "We consider our silage crop yield increased one- third by a good growth of soy beans, and the silage is simply wonderful. r I pedal otic We are in a position to accept • orders for and Hot Water Heating Hot.

ILEDG themselves on that hazel brush," you may say.. - - Just give them a trial. A. good farmer living in Southern 'Wisconsin tried some last year for hay for • the first time. He, cut it just the day be- fore going to the Wisconsin State .Fair in Milwaukee. Before he reach- ed home it rained and the .bean for- age had az ythi g but a x palatable appearance. Thd stalks were getting black and the leaves were' molding, so he got the boys together and they put it all up in a big pile to let it heat up and rot, while they planted the piece to winter wheat. In a few days Mr. Farmer went out behind the hill to see how his winter wheat was coming, and behold! his colts, cows, sheep and pigs were all eating his soy beans, which were supposed to be a manure pile. - The cows actually crowded off the wires, the pigs rooted under them and then the whole bunch had a spree on soy beans. Mr. Barrett, about v►thom I have spoken, before, hada soy -bean straw and corn and soy -bean silage to feed his cows last winter, and during the month of December received about as much- from his small herd in the cream cheque as he could have sold the bunch for five years ago. S. R. Powell, living in Burnett County, ''says that he is now feeding soy -bean hay and the cows are doing much 'better than 'they were; last inter ter when they were getting gluten. and oil -meal mixture with the 'grain ration. Charles Ristow, living in Jackson County, one of Wisconsin's soy -bean cranks, says that he just happened to find out that cows like soy -bean straw. He' used to raise soy beans for a cash crop, so after .threshing the beans he took some of the straw out to bed them down with. The newt morning, when he went out, to his surprise the cows had eaten their bedding and left the good clover hay in their manger. As to results, trials have been made at different experiment stations and it has been determined without question that when properly cured this soy -bean hay is equal to alfalfa hay in feeding value. While the yield of this soy -bean hay on poor soil may be only one-half of what .alfalf a is on the heavy soils -the only place where it grows seccessfully--yet this value places it as one of the best crops that can be raised on. light soil. Even though the heavy -soil farmer can raise alfalfa -sometimes -and clover_ seldom is a failure, yet he is interested in this - -soy-bean - plait as a'. emergency hay crop and - as a sil- age 'crop, just the -same as the light - soil farmer uses it. Thousands of using this nsi are • in Wisconsin r cis W farmers plant to help make a richer silage. Concentrates are expensive and most farmers appreciate feeding home- grown feeds. Cows do not seem to give down well when their ration consists of corn stover ' and wild hay. The old cow should be able to eat about half a ton of those coarse low - value hays at a time if she is to give a 'good respectable mess of milk. As long as we cannot extend her capac- ity, if the silage and roughage which we do give her is higher in protein, the better results can be expected. Some farmers, in fact, thousands - of farmers, planted soy beans directly with the corn last year. Others plant- ed soy beans in a separate piece and then mixed them at silo -filling time. There were some_ places in Wiscon- sin where corn did not seem to ap- preciate the soy -bean companion and outgrew it to the extent that the soy bean was so shaded that the stem grew spindly, the leaves turned yel- low and fell off, and the system was a failure. It may be that in some section's this will be the usual result, SOFT COAL for THRESHING. H. Reese, Albert_ Hanson and a score of others in Northwest Wisconsin sold beans which netted .from fifty to a hundred dollars an acre. Another farmer near Bloomer sold 125 bushels from five acres, Which at present prices would be worth $250.

He told of a Yankee who was touring England and an old York- shireman took him out to see a field of turnips. "There," said. he, "I have been thinning and thinning These turnips but they will get together.° "I see nothing there to crow about," said the Yankee. "Down in. Connect- icut, I planted a ten acre field of turnips and I kept thinning and thin- ning and they grew and grew until - at last I had just one in each corner - of tithe field and one in the middle. The fellow in the middle grew,- yon could just see him grow and at last he got so big he threw the other four over the fence." He told of an American who was travelling in the highlands of Scotland. One of the natives invited him to come out on a hill and the Scot shouted his awn name -Donal Mackintosh. After a, brief pause the echo, Donal Mackin- tosh, came back plainly. "Pooh!" said the Yank, "that's nothing. Why," said he, "after harvestin' half a mil- lion bushels of wheat and a million bushels of corn on my place over in Kansas I felt hot and flushed,' and thought I would take a turn over to the rockies and- get- cooled off.

CLUFF & SONS Seaforth, Ont. feeding- some fresh mulch cows. All 'they would eat was the silage and we found they did not eat so much. We could discontinue feeding oil meal with the ground oats and were still able to increase the milk: flow. - "In August, when drought set in and pastures became short, we cut off some of this corn and soy beans and threw it over the fence to the calves and colts. We vkre surprised in a few days to see those calves and colts eat the soy beans before they would the corn." Many others have testified as to how well their cows are doing, and on less of the concentrated feeds than they were used to. When soy beans and corn were first thought of as a silage mixture, some people had'' the idea that the corn ,would do better because of the soy -bean nodules close to the corn roots. By actual trials, however, little advantage has been found. In fact, some farmers main- tain that the growth of corn was hindered to a' slight extent, but even though it were, the soy bean leaves made up for the difference in weight of the total 'silage and, because of its high -protein content, added much more feed to the acre. Generally speaking, insects seem to find something better than soy beans to live on. The cutworm, however, is especially fond of it, and in freshly plowed, soddy ground, where some- times cutworms are very numerous, reports have come in that all the beans had been eaten and the corn left. In this case the soy bean filled' a need which otherwise would have resulted in a corn failure. One farmer told me that his coin and soy -bean field consisted of an old grain field and a meadow. On one part the cutworms ate all the corn and on the other the corn was left, -so he had a crop on the full field, anyway. A farmer in Juneau County had a - low spot in. one corner of his cornfield where he had planted soy beans with beans together, and though some of the beans went dow o that the they could -not be p he owner thinks the practice very com- mendable because of the increased fertility. Albert Hanson, who lives . in Burnett. County, Wisconsin, and on very light soil, had soy beans in 1917 which froze before they were fit for seed purposes. Not knowing their hay value; he plowed under the crop. The following crop of potatoes yield- d about twice what the adjoining piece produced. When Hanson took ` these potatoes to town the . potato 'buyer said: - "Hanson, did you rent a new farm down on the river bottoms, or whose potatoes are these you are bringing to town?" • "These are all my own field run," Hanson replied. The buyer thought he had him, so he said: "Well, you put all your manure on -the potatoes, didn't you?" "No, I just had soy beans there last year," said Hanson. - D. K. Barrett, who is a neighbor of Hanson•'s, had sixteen bushels of rye to the acre last year, while his neighbor one mile away on the same type of •soil had less than eight bushels to the acre. I asked Mr. Barrett the reason for this difference -if . it was because he had planted the pedigree rye. In this good-natur- ed way he replied: ' "You see I have had soy beans on heere two years out of the last five and it's beginning to show on the yields of my crops." Wherever we go in the light -soil area some new testimony is added to. the already long list of advantages to soil. Another important usage of the soy bean is for roughage. Instead of ten loads of marsh hay, stay at home ' and raise three -loads of soy- We ens' in this ere ese first and many owers of bean hay. farm - "What! Hay from that coarse ers laughed at us, but are now trying std? Why, my cows have more re- a few themselves. We found that speeoe for themselves . than to choke soy -bean silage was much richer for an extra section if the buyer wasn't looking. Farmers once having got started with soy beans certainly are boosters. Imagine going through a cornfield and pulling out soy -bean plants to thresh. Read what H. C. Yates, of Juneau County, says: "Nine acres of corn and soy beans filled our fourteen -by - thirty silo, and out of the remaining four acres we hand .pulled all the - soys and threshed sixty bushels of seed." Farmers are just getting acquaint- ed with this new crop, but are awake to its many advantages. Some farm- ers are disappointed because the plant is not a twining vine and will not cling to the corn plant; others feel that it is a troublesome plant, one only for the experimenter, but those farmers living on the lighter areas feel as though they 'have fouled a friend -something that can be de- pended.upon as a cash crop and to help build up their soils, to. furnish a green feed in times of dry pastures, to furnish. a high -protein hay as well as a high -protein silage. The plant is not very sensitive as to soil re- quirements, but it is something new to the majority of farmers in the North. It must not be planted too deep. especially on heavy soils, or too early. It needs inoculation and must be shocked carefully if it is to be made into good hay. However, the farmer who wants . to improve his condition, will not let these few ob- stacles stand in his way.'. Much could be said as to the best varieties of soy beans for the state of Wisconsin. The one variety which we pride ourselves on is the Wi cou- sin Early Black, a variety which has been improved and selected, here at the experiment station. . This past year this variety ripened not only -in the • southern part of the state, but in the extreme northern part of the 'state, nearly on the shore of Lake Superior. As a seed crop we can bank on it for the entire state, but as a - hay crop there may be other medium -maturing varieties that will yield more to the acre. • It seems that these Wisconsin - grown black beats have pep instilled right into them. All the vim and vigor that this northern them climate can instill is there, and in tests these are about the -rst to come up, first to get nodules on the roots, first to get a foot in height and, of course, first to get ripe seeds. We find many other varieties grown here in Wis- the corn. Rainy weather came on consin for hay and silage purposes. while the corp. and soy beans were. Soy -bean -variety tests 'have been car - small and where the water stood for rued on here in Wisconsin for many a few 'days the corn, was drowned out, while the soy e ans came -up and made a very ' -.. ant growth. In some fields tui soy beans grew- so fast and large that at tatting tinie it was hard to handle them. A farmer living in. Oconto County who had soys with corn for silage says that the beans did not grow very tall, so the corn binder missed most of them. ' However, after plowing a rod strip he decided to turn out the hogs and see what they would do with them. It seems that the -farmer had to be gone fora couple of weeks at that time and on his return found owouldut that the only thing the pigs leave the field for was water. The best of feeds would not tempt them. The - pigs had not only eaten. up what beans there were on top of the ground but had actually rooted t those under. p that he had already plowed Supposing the silo will not hold all that you had planted for it with the corn. Is it wasted? I Just listen to what this Wisconsin farmer, L. H. Prange, Sheboygan Falls, says: "planted some with late corn, cut corn quite early and shocked it up. Being about one-third soys and two- thirds corn, it made a very nice roughage and the cows ate it up clean when cut up in short lengths." Plant- ed with the regular corn crop, or later crop, the same use could be made of it. • es As for _ pasturing sheep - on soy beans in corn, I can say that several farmers in. Wisconsin tried this the past year with unusually good suc- cess. Mr. Jacobs, Elk Mound, - pur- chased a carload of Western lambs in the latter part of September and gave them the run of his cut -over silo fields where soy beans had been planted, al- so his - stubble fields. These lambs weighed round fifty pounds at pur- chasing time, and at selling time, in the latter part of January, had gained twenty to twenty-five pounds each. Of course some of this gain had been made in the feed yard, but they 'got a' couple of months of good feeding from the soy beans. It is needless to mention the profit that was made on these sheep when bought at- 12 cents and sold at 20 cents. The present price of soy bean seed has made a few soy -bean raisers regret that they did not hold-, their seed a little longer. The use of soy beans has become so statewide that the local supply of medium -maturing varieties is far too small, and as a result the prices are still climbing. Even if sellingat what seems low prices last fall, some quite remark- able records were made. One farm- er in Central Wisconsin sold enough beans off his forty acres to buy sev- eral forties of the same kind of land. D. K. Barrett, W. H.

There is no question but that soy beans are here to stay and to make a greater name for Wisconsin, but there are many -things for us to learn about them yet. They are a new crop here in the North and in warm seasons we are likely to draw con- clusions that would not be warranted for a general year. ' FROM AN OLD McKILLOP CORRESPONDENT Toronto, July 26, 1920. Dear Expositor: ' With .your permission I will trouble you with a short letter again. I think nearly every person likes to see a procession. There have been a number of them within the last fortnight, -the first being the Orange- men. They mustered at the entrance to Queen's Park, with banners, brass bands, fife and drum bands and three or four bagpipe bands, and. the move- ment of the drummers with the latter was worth going miles to see. The procession, which numbered over 8,000 men, marched four miles to the Exhibition grounds, the crippled sol- diers of the Order being conveyed by motor. - Mayor Church and Hon. Mr. McPherson, of the late Hearst ' Gov- ernment, walked side by side the whole way, I did not go to the 'grounds, having seen enough while the procession was going on. The true blue women and girls were hav- ing a tag day and were in evidence on every street corner, the money being for an orphanage which is be- ing moved from Picton to Richmond Hill, just outside of Toronto. So much for this procession: which was nearly three miles in length. Another procession composed of autos -came from Michigan via Wind- sor and were headed by Henry Ford's silver cornet band. They were tour- ing the province in the interest of good roads and were all, it is said, connected either directly or indirectly with. metor car manufacture, every- one to their trade. Again a procession of returned soldiers walked from the Union sta- tion tation to Queens Park. They had gone to meet Harry Flynn, who was re- turning from Western Canada, where he was agitating -on behalf of a sol- dier's gratuity. Harry would like to get hold of the two thousand dollars which would certainly be a nice bit of pocket money. I think he is wast- ing his oratory, but he sticks to it industriously. The Salvation Army have their little processions quite frequently.

McKILLOP The Late Mrs. James Lawrence. - Following a lingering illness of many months Mrs. Sarah J. Lawrence pass- ed to be with Jesus, the evening of July 16th, 1920. Mrs. Lawrence, whose maiden name was Sarah Jane_.) Foster, was born February 25th, 1843, in the township of Drummond, County of Lanark, and was married to James Lawrence of the township. of McKillop, County of Huron, at Parkdale Farm, on the 24th day of December, 1869. Rev. William Price • performed the ceremony. For more than fifty years Mrs. Lawrence re- sided on their farm on the 4th eon- cession of McKillop. She possessed a bright sunny disposition, shedding sunshine and hope along her path- way. She was a woman of highest ideals, who went about doing good. She was a. member of the Methodist Church, Seaforth, a quiet aggressive worker interestedin all good work, - being an ardent life member of the Women's Missionary Society and al- so an energetic worker of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, "She being dead, yet speak- eth." She was much - beloved not only in her own home bit by all Who came within her range. Her bedside was the renezvons of sympathetic ' members., The funeral service on Tuesday, July 25th, from her home in McKillop, was largely attended and was conducted by Rev. Capt."'Feld wards, of Seaforth, assisted by Rev. Ferguson, of McKillop. -41
