SOY BEANS
Have you made plans to
grow a sufficient amount of
forage crofts for your hogs this
year? Do not forget that the
Government has asked Ark
ansas farmers to increase the
hog production by 300,000
head. I know that the farm
ers of Woodruff county want
to do their part in this move
ment. However, to grow hogs
successfully in this county or
any other county in the state,
it is necessary to produce for
age crops.
une oi tne oest crops wmcn
can be grown for grazing hogs
is soy beans. It has been
shown by experiments that the
cost of producing an increase
in weight may be reduced from
one half to three fourths by
the use of this crop. The Ala
bama Experiment Station has
made a number of experiments
on the feeding value of Soy
beans, results from these ex
periments showed:
1. When pigs were fed on
corn alone it took 572 lbs., of
corn to produce 100 lbs., of
flesh.
2. When the pigs were fed
on one fourth of a ration of
corn and were allawed to run
on Soy Bean pasture, it took
54 lbs., of corn to produce 100
lbs of flesh.
In this latter case an acre of
Soy Beans was equivalent to
an acre of corn yielding 42.3
bushels.
Say Beans are quite similar
in their nature to cow peas, but
they have an advantage over
cow peas in that they are more
resistant to frost and yield a
larger amount of grain. Soy
Beans may be planted about
the same time corn is planted
or about a month earlier than
cow peas. They are ready
for grazing from 90 to 120
days after planting. If Soy
Beans are planted on April 1,
they will be ready for use for
hogs by July or August.
Some farmers have had dif
ficulty in getting a stand of this
crop. This has been caused in
many cases to the ground pack
ing on the soy beans and plants
breaking off as they are trying
to push through the soil crust.
This may be overcome largely
by planting the beans at a
depth not to exceed two inch
es. When this is done one is
not likely to experience the
difficulty of a poor stand.
It is now time to plant this
crop and those who have not
secured seed will write to the
riter and he can place you
in touch of seed in this county.

Why Not Be Good To Yourself
If you awaken weary and
unfreshed in the morning, or
tire early in the day, are bili
ous and “blue” with coated
tongue and bad breath—if you
are suffering from indigestion
or constipation—you will find
Foley Cathartic Tablets quick
to relieve and comfortable in
action. They are wholesome
and health giving. Red Cross

The cost of maintenance and operation also has
increased beyond all expectations. Increases have
been made in the salaries of our employees that were
not justified by our earnings but were considered nec
essary in order that we might deal fairly with our em
ployees and properly serve the public.
Telephone rates, up to now, have remained the
same. Your telephone service, in proportion to its
utility, is the very cheapest thing you buy.
We believe our subscribers will appreciate our
efforts to meet conditions that exist in McCrory, and
| will recognize the necessity that now confronts us of
| getting aditional revenue.
