Hood, a new variety of soy
beans. has been released for seed
increase for North Carolina farm
ers.
Seed for extensive planting
should be available for i960.
Hood will be of special interest
in the areas where Ogden matur
ity and plant type are desired.
With better seed yields, seed
quality and seed holding ability,
it could be used as a replacement
for Ogden in Northeastern and
Tidewater areas of North Caro
lina
In USDA regional tests over a
five-year period? 1953 - 57 ? seed
yields have been 6 per cent high
er than Ogden on the cast coast.
The oil content is slightly high
er, while protein content is slight
ly lower.
The new variety is resistant to
bacterial pustule, wildlife, frog
eye and target spot.
During wet fall seasons Hood
will have purple stain about like
Ogden.
Average plant height should be
30-36 inches with heavy foliage
and moderate size stems. The
flowers are purple, rnd the plants
have a gray pubescence.
Hood soybean I ave a yellow
seed coat with a light brown hil
um, or "eye".
Variety demontratiom are now
maturing in several Northeastern
counties in North Carolina. In
terested farmers should see their
county agricultural agent who is
working with a cooperating farm
er in providing these observa
tions. " !
Seed will be distributed in
North Carolina through the Foun
dation Seed Producers, Inc., and
the North Carolina Crop Improve
ment Association.
Demonstrations will continue in
1959.

FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION: How can tobacco
be surcessfully cured in bulk,
when tightly-packed tobacco in
an ordinary barn will scald?
ANSWER: The secret is in the
forced air movement which is
possible in the specially-built
barns used in bulk-curing tobac
co. A blower forces hot air up
through the packed leaves of to
bacco. After the air goes through
the leaves, it is drawn to the top
of the barn where it can be re
leased if the moisture content is
high. Thus, only dry air is circu
lated through the leaves, which
prevents scalding.
The market value of farm land
and buildings in North Carolina
rose 4 per cent during the year
ending July 1, 1958.
As the size of swine operations
increase, more attention must be
given to labor-saving devices in
housing.
and the Delta Branch Experiment
Station, Stoneville, Mississippi.
Tests have been conducted coop
erately in the southern states.
Production will be effected in
Deleware, Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina, Kentucky, Mis
souri, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
