DONALSONVILLE (GA.) NEWS THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1964 Farm Roundup (by Ray Payne, Assistant County Agent) Soybeans After Small Grain There has been a lot of int erest in Seminole County in soybeans as a crop to follow small grains. Several farmers tried this crop last year and seemed to be very well satis fied with it. Several farmers have been in the office during the past few months to obtain information on growing soy beans. When planting soybeans be hind small grains, the soil can usually be prepared by a tho rough discing or they can be mulch planted, if the land was well prepared in the fall. The soil should be loose when soy beans are planted. Having the soil tested for fertilizer and lime require ments is a good idea, but a good general recommendation is at least 500 lbs of 0-10-20, or 5-10-15 per acre. You can use less than this amount if the previous crop was heavily fertilized. Apply fertilizer in bands two inches to the side and one to three inches below the seed to prevent damage to <■ ® -I : K””" ZB KI w - " - UMIU IJ tri sw, n - > x 3 ■ If l& ■' CTTr^^jr^^OE^jGT** ;?:%/ ■’ 't-3» ■KjmHBEs- ,wj^hShh?: KX. > | ESHMBwSiy. > .'• Jk ■ j.

This is very im portant in that yields have been increased several bushels per acre in all tests conducted where molybdenum was add ed. You should follow the in structions of the manufactur er when inoculating seed. It is very important that good seed are planted to begin with. Germination should be at least 185 to 90 percent. If seed germ ination is lower, more seed per acre should be used. Standard width rows can be used, although narrow rows do give an increase in yield -50 to 75 lbs. of seed per acre should be used in 36 to 40 inch rows. Ordinary corn cultivators and equipment can be used in cultivation. Usually about two are sufficient to control weeds unless there is a lot of rain.

Daily mean temperatures should average between 75 and 78 degrees. Maximum tempera tures will' range from 85 to 90 degrees with afternoon temp eratures reaching 95 degrees nanda, which is a late matur ing variety. It is the best yielding variety of soybeans that we have when planted late. Several farmers made pret ty good yields last year, when planted after small grain, in spite of the dry weather dur ing August and September. A lot of money can’t be made unless the yield is high, but it is one way to provide a little extra income on land that might otherwise be idle during the summer months. •• ■ ' > > Why jdlb* the .. swing - WMEfc •BRC Methyl? . -: ..x’. ■ : j< W ga » •< wBBMiS *- < v - -t ; 'flfiiwMP> C£.<; ;. life- W - > t t•:>’; i w» ! - f ■ • ■ • t - ' : I aML M X W «6 - : - ’ :: •;<• • : j.
