Soybean Acreage Increase Likely
Farmers expect higher soybean acreage this year to classify as non depleting under the 1938 AAA Act for pasture or hay, hoping beans offer greater income than oats. Key tips include selecting adapted varieties Mukden Manehu Illini, inoculating seed, planting density of roughly one bean per inch, using corn planter widths or two bushels per acre when drilled, weed control with tillage, mid May to early June planting, and following with rye on level fields to prevent erosion.
Folk Song Origins Discussed By Music Week
Music Week observed Tuesday afternoon at the Book and Thimble club where Mrs Clyde Kinser and Mrs Julius Arkin presented a paper on the History and Origin of Folk Songs.

Mrs Harry Nelson reviewed Carl Sandburgs book now in the local library, and about twenty songs were illustrated by Mary Burker at the piano. The gathering was described as profitable.
