Thursday March o Weekly Farm Letter By Earl Page Commissioner of Agri Soy beans are attracting more at tention among farmers hi Arkansa than usual this is a good sign For several years past the spy bean ha been a profitable crop In Missouri an the soy bean ha been a profitable crop throughout th south The only drawback Was that th soy not a cash or mone crop in the south and ha been running so to speak afte money crops and has been crops that bring indirect return and bring improved soil conditions and build up farm assets The soy bear is a legume crop that attracts nitrogen from the air and stores it in the ground thus building up and enriching the soil It is a rich feed for cattle and tin beans are splendid for growing and fat tening hogs itis especially good a feed for dairy increasing the milk flow and producing better milk Thus the soy bean has been a crop of indirect profit instead of a and hence the hesitancy of the south ern farmers to take hold of it with vig for

growing up on the farms The main interest lias for ten of fif teen years centered in the cash crops Credit in the spring and and cash in the fall to pay off has been the evergrowing program Naturally this kind of a farming policy led to a condition where the farmers were not prepared against any kind of disaster and they were to meet the effects of the drouth of 1930 for in some counties more than half of the farming had to be minis tered to by the Red Cross In the midst of all this there were certain farmers in all parts of the state who had pro food and feed and kept up their livestock and poultry flocks and these folks did not find it necessary in many instances to appeal to the Red Cross The lesson of 1930 severe as it was is calculated to bring back to a of stable farming with few ev acres of cotton and more acres of feed an crops and the beginning of the rebuilding of the herds of hogs cattle and other forms of livestock Into this program the soy fits well and should have its part The experience of the farmers in Missouri and Illinois will be encouraging to the Arkansas farmers who turn to soy beans The farmers of Missouri for the most part sold the extra soy beans iii cash revenue as well as for feed Those of Illinois have been selling their surplus soy beans to the Crushers at from to per bushel and found the crop to be a good ducing crop and by many preferred to corn Jn many instances the Illinois farmers made yields of from twenty to forty bushels of beans per acre They sold the beans and fed the hay and made money Heretofore there has been no market for the soy beans pro except and only a limited local demand in that channel Now things are different It is given out that the Rose City Cotton Oil Little Rock will pre pare to crush soy beans next season if the product from as many as five thousand acres is available and the minimum price will be one dollar a bushel This will afford a cash market for all of the beans pro the hayon the farms for forage for livestock will en courage the growing of more livestock The soy beans cut for hay will have higher feeding value if they are not threshed Such hay is fine for milk and meat production may be pastured on the beans when mature and the vines or stubble be plowed un der to make a richer and more produc tive soil for future crops Let us begin to build up faim assets and try to get away from

on the whole walls floor slabs partitions were cast in rein forced concrete and fitted together by a couple of workmen with a derrick The result is houses which are more comfortable in hot weather or
