"A high' protein crop . whic

farmers are familiar with this
crop, but more are turning to it
as a' Way of producing more pro-
tein at home. -
'Soybeans are high in protein

from 35'to 40 percent of protein,

age in seed of wheat, oats or bar-

Varieties Available
Varieties of soybeans are now
most of Ontario. These include
such yarietiee as Capital and
Goldsoy, Kabott and Pagoda
may be used in the areas
with shorter,,growing seas-
ons, All are gd varieties, and
under suitable conditions wil
produce yields ranging from20
ushels per acre for the earlier
varieties to 30 bushels per acre fo
the later varieties. As .they cove
a wide range of , maturity, the
choice of variety for any partic-
ular district 15 very important.
The soybean plant can adapt
itself, to a wide range of seasons
conditions. This was well demon-
strated in 1946 when many grow-
ers discovered that soybeans will
withstand severe -flooding and al-
so considerable drought.
Soybeans do best in soil and
under climatic conditions as re-
quired by corn. A well prepared
seed bed helps in controlling
weeds and • providing the best
conditions for germination. A
little extra care taken in this work
will be amply repaid. ' Soybeans
should not be planted too deep,
about one inch,so as to obtain
quick germination.
Inoculate Seed
Previous to planting, the seed
should be inoculated with soybean
'nitro -culture. This is particularly
important if soybeans have not
been grown on the field previous-
ly but will be found to be sound

in any case, The time and cost re-
quired for inoculation. are rela-
tively small compared to the
value- of results obtained.
For seed production it is ad-
visable to plant soybeans in rows
This method requires less seed,
provides an opportunity for Iater
entity results in earlier maturity
cultivation to control weeds, gen-
and in most cases higher .yields.
The spacing of the rows may vary
from 22 to 30 inches, depending
upon the machinery available. In
general it wilI be found that short-
er growing varieties are better a-
dapted to narrower rows.
Cultivation
Cultivation of soybeans should
begin as soon as the crop is up,
using a rotary hoe or drag harr-
ows having the teeth sloped back-
wards. This operation will be
found most effective in warm,
bright weather as .the dislodges
weed seedlings are dried up. Re-
peating this often to keep weed
growth down and break any crusts
which might have formed, allows
the soybean to become well est-
ablished. Later cultivation be-
tween the rows using a sweep'type
shovel and keecing these as flat
as possible should complete the
weed control measures.
Harvesting with a combine at
the proper time will require some
judgment on the part of the grow-
er. The moisture content of the
seed should be watched closely to
avoid undue splitting of the seeds
and loss. However, being of an
oily nature, soybeans will not give
as much trouble in this respect
as will the white field bean, and
the fact too that they may be
combined late in the fall after,
early frosts, without much dam-
age to the crop, is another strong
point in the favour of the pro-
duction of soybeans as a cash crop
in Huron County.
Neglected Orchards
"During the last three or four
weeks I have paid particular at-
tention to the dozens and dozens
of old neglected apple orchards in
the County. Practically every
farm home has from a dozen to
twenty old, rough broken apple
trees growing in a small field
near the buildings. In most cases
these old trees are neither prun-
ed, sprayed or fertilized and the
fruit that is produced is of little
or no value to anyone. In many
cases the trees are partly rotted
and broken • down and in others,
one would need a fifty foot lad-
der to pick the fruit that was
produced.
"To me it seems like a waste
of good land to leave those old
trees there in the way, and most
important of all is the fact that
these old trees harbour insects
and disease that will spread to
good healthy trees in well man-
aged orchards. A good husky
bulldozer or a good sharp cross-
cut saw would remedy this' sit-
uation as easily and as economic-
ally as anything that could be
suggested.. They are the greatest
source of contamination that the
good apple prodacer has to con-
tend with and in most cases they,
are only wasting the production
of good valuable land.
"In many cases too, they are an
eye sore to a good tidy homestead,
and would bemuch more val-
uable- as firewood than they are
3n the production of. good apples.
A good bulldozer or a good cross-
cut saw would very quickly put
them ih a horizontal position
the sooner the better.
