Dr. G. W. Forrester and Pro fessor R. E. L. Green of Farm Management Department of State College toured Franklin County with their . Farm Management _Class. consisting of 75 students, last week. The Class visited t-he farms of W. L. Garden, H. B. Cooke. P. G. & M. G. Smith, J. F. Best and W. T. Moss. The class was giving particular interest to the study of Soil conservation 'practices as they fit into a sys-, tem of good farm management. Dinner was served the group by Mrs. Beasley in Lanisburg and a short program with pictures was presented the class at the Agri " cultural building by P. H. Mar-" sey. Project Supervisor, and W. C. Boyce. County Agent. Three i Franklin County boys were in < this group, Mitchiner Banks. Ike ; Kearney and Forrest Barrett. 1 They were touring in their home county and observing farm man- < agement' and soil conservation 1 demonstrations that tbey had 1 watched from the time demon- 1 strartons were started in 1934. A tour to the farm of "ft. B. Cooke, Louisburg. R 1. was con ducted by P. H. Massey and W. O. Lambeth of the Soil Conserva tion Service, and W. C. Boyce of. Franklin County Extension Ser vict, farmers, extension workers, and soil conservationists from Wake. Nash. Wilson, Warren and Vance counties attended. Mr. Cooke, a Franklin County farm er.. demonstrated to the County Agents and - Soil conservation technicians the use of A Level in locating master rows between t?rrace intervals. Between one terrace interval, a row was run by an A Level, checked on by a telescopic level and it could be easily observed the A level took tare of some draws better than the telescopic level, as readings were taken with the A level every ten feet and every 50 feet with the telescopic level. All s*?kes placed from using the tele scopic level were, in very close to and parallel to line run by A level. .nr. cook? aavisea the group that be could lay off matter row between every terrace Interval on ?his farm in one-half day. The string method of laying off master row* was demonstrated and a check on the results show ed a varied but continuous grade. Master rows wer*- staked by A level and telescopic level to carry 8 inches fall to each 100 feet. All other rows within terrace inter val were run parallel with master row. Mr. Cooke advised his au dience tha: he had not had a row to break- open since he started the system of master rows In 1!?38. In practically every feld visited, vbere could be observed a large quanti'y of dry matter which Mr. Cook? had plowed un der to conserve erosion and im prove the toil. Mr. Cooke stated to the group that he was now planting T acres of corn where he onc?..planted 13 acres. He ad vised that he was substituting wheat, oats and barley acre for litre for torn bu:- further brought out tfce fact that as a result of his prefrejjt system of farming, he was now producing as much corn on T acres as he once produced on 13 acrfs.

Have you planted your soy beans for oil If not. plans should be made now to seed them not later than June 10 if good production is expected. Accord ing- to information from Agrono mist at State College. Herman soybeans will mature in 13$ days. Arksoy in 140 days. Toklo in 140 days. Mammoth Yellow in 145 days, and Woods Yellow and Clemson in 160 days. This means the Herman soybean planted June; 10 should be ready for harvest around October 25. It is be- ' lieved days required for maturity will be less for soybeans planted ' June 10 than for soybeans plant ed April 25. The Yields in com- : parison with other varieties are: ! Herman - fair; Arksoy- medium: ' Clemson - medium; Tokio - good; ' Woods Yellow - good. Soybeans should be inoculated and planted in rows on a well j prepared, seed bed. Th?^ should [ be fertilired with 200 to 405 1 pounds of 2-8-10 and cultivated I; iretil s?yb?an growth is ahead uf. weed growth. Broadcast soybeans.,' although good for land and re- ' quiring less labor, yield only ap-:' proximately one-half as many 1 beans. J An acre of soybeans treated as above should yield 15 to 25 bush- J els an acre and give an acre in-; come equal to or better :-han corn. * 1 Oats, wheat and barley can be I substituted for corn to save.la-|) bor. ?
