Many farmers s ait three to six weeks too late! e cut their soybeans. The best hay is secured when a e beans are cut while the pods s e small, and before any beans jt, ive formed in the pods. Somej ithorities recommend that the, n ant be cut while in bloom. t? The usual practice of waiting n itil the beans are almost ma- jr re gives a mixture of beans w id straw instead of hay. Lespedeza for hay should be; ic it when it blooms, which usu-in ly occurs from the middle to p e latter part of August, depen- u ng upon the variety and certain s< her conditions. e: C Very Old Father: "There is 0i (thing worse than to be old and vv nt." p: Very Young Son: "Yes, there dad."
