Maureen Burnett, Reporter Commercial Soybeans Are Seen By Expert Grow soybeans as a commercial crop, for soil improvement or as a feed crop, Prof. C. B. Williams, head of the State College Agronomy Department, advises North Carolina farmers. He urges commercial growers to increase yields per acre this year in view of the de mand for this crop and Its products due to the war situation in Europe and the Orient. Recommending the yellow-Beeded varieties, which are in greatest demand by oil millers, Prof. Williams said that Herman and Haberlandt are adapted to the Mountain area. “The land selected for soybeans should be of at least average produc tivity,” the agronomist declared. "It should be well drained and in proper shape for planting on or about May 1. Although soybeans belong to the le gume family, they require moderate amounts of a properly-selected ferti lizer. “Ordinarily,” Prof. Williams continu ed, "little or no nitrogen Is needed in the fertilizer mixture if the soil is in a fairly good state of productivity. Howeve, if the soil Is poor to medium in fertility, about 2 percent nitrogen should be Included In the mixtures.” The fertilizer recommendations of the College Agronomy Depaijment for soy beans are: Piedmont and Mountains, 200 to 300 pounds of a 2-10-4 or 2-10-6 on fairly productive soils, and 250 to 300 pounds of a 2-10-5 or 200 pounds of a 3-15-6 on poor to medium soils.
