Is Your Baby Up to Normal?
BY MRS. MAX WEST,
(Os The Federal Children’s Bureau.)
Mothers always like to know whether their children compare favor
ably with others in their development; and to have some standards by
which to measure growth. Some of these rules are simple and easily re
membered.
The average weight of girl babies at birth is 7 pounds; that of boys
7 1-2. Healthy babies usually double their weight by the sixth month
and treble it by the end of the first year. Therefore, if the baby weighs
21 pounds at 1 year of age it is up to normal.
The first tooth is usually cut from the sixth to the eighth month.
The full set of 20 milk teeth should be in place when the baby is two
years old. The “sixth year molar”, as it is called, is the first of the per
manent teeth to appear, but as it does not replace one of the first teeth
mothers allow it to decay because they believe it to be a temporary
tooth.
The baby begins to laugh aloud from the third to the fifth month
and speaks a few words by the end of the first year. He usually frames
short sentences by the time he is two years old.
Baby should sit up unsupported a little while by the seventh or
eighth month, stand at 10 or 11 months and walk alone by the 15th or
16th. The soft spot on the top of the head should be entirely closed by
the end of the second year. > ?
New Varieties of The Velvet
Beans Helps a Big Wide Area
WASHINGTON, D. C., Mareh 29. (
The development of new varieties of
the velvet bean has made this legume
available over a much larger portion
of the country than used to be the
case. It is regarded by specialists in
the U. S. Department of Agriculture as
the most vigorous of all annual leg
umes in regions to which it is adapte.l.
As a green-manure crop ,it is unexcell
ed and the mature pods afford pastur
age which has no equal among le
gumes. The ground pods and seeds
can be made into feeds which are now ‘
highly esteemed. Moreover, the plant;
is notably free from disease and in- j
sect enemies and entirely immune to,
the wilt that affects cowpeas. A new
circular of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture calls the attention cf
farmers in the cotton belt to these
facts.
The velvet bean has been known in
Florida for approximately forty years.
It was first used as an ornamental
vine for trellises and porches, but its
value as a cover and green-manure
crop was soon discovered. Its use as
a forage crop is more recent.
Twenty New Varieties.
In the past ten years the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture has introduc
ed about twenty new varieties Into
America and has secured many hy
brids by breeding. Many of these new
er varieties lack the velvety, hairy
pods which are responsible for the
name “velvet” bean, but in growth and
general appearance they resemble the
original variety. A most vital im
provement, however, is the fact that a
few of these new varieties can be
grown much farther north than the
original one, which rarely matures
forther north than the northern boun
dary of Florida. Several of the new
varieties, on the other hand, can be
grown over a large portion of the cot
ton belt. The circular already men
tioned states that where the growing
season is short, the Yokohama velvet
bean deserves attention, but that the
value of this variety should be con
sidered in comparison with cowpeas
and soy beans. For districts farther
south, the Georgia velvet bean is prob
ably the most desirable of the medium
early sorts, although the Chinese
seems to produce larger yields of pods.
A map accompanying the circular in
dicates the limits within which each
of the well-known varieties will ma
ture.
The work of agricultural scientists
with the velvet bean has Resulted in a
number of striking instances of the ef
fect of this crop in renovating soil. At

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
the Alabama Experiment Station, for
example, after velvet beans had been
plowed under, a crop of sorghum hay
was obtained nearly double that of a
crop grown after fallow. Again, the
plowing under of velvet beans result
ed in a yield of oats four times as high
as a crop that followed crab grass and
millet In Arkansas, oats, after vel
vet beans plowed under, yielded 53
bushels of grain as against 36 bushels
after oat stubble. Other estimates
show than an ordinary crop of velvet
beans adds about 90 pounds of nitrogen
per acre to the soil, or about as much
as is contained in 1400 pounds of cot
tonseedmeal. Even if the beans are
pastured, most of this nitrogen is re
turned.
The most common method of neutral
izing the crop is to pasture it after it

has fuly matured. Good velvet-bean
pasturage with corn or some similar
feed will finish animals very cheaply.
There is also a large and growing mar
ket for velvet-bean meal, prepared by
grinding the entire pods and seeds.
The yield per acre of these ranges from
20 to 50 bushels, being greater when
vines are well supported above ground.
When good prices can be obtained, it
is often profitable to harvest the beans
an dto pasture the remainder of the
crop. As a feed, experiments have
shown that velvet beans in the pod pro
duce milk much more cheaply than
cottonseed meal. As a feed for hogs,
velvet beans result in good gains, but
when fed alone they appear to result
in a disagreeable taste in the fat. This
difficulty, however, can be readily
overcome by combining them "with
some other feed.
