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. Exiehnion workers in
attendance were O . j?. McCrary.

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
