Bean Trials Are Reported FAYETTEVILLE Results of six years of soybean variety performance trials were rc- leased recently by the University of Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station. These trials were grown during 1961-1966 at branch experiment' sfations at Kaiser, Mananna, Stuttgart and Rohwer Bragg, Hale 7, Davis, Lee 68 and Semmes were the leading 1966 producers at the Northeast Branch Station Reiser. For the entire six year period, Lee was the leading producer with an average of 30 bushels per acre. Following were Hale 7, Jackson, Rood, and Ogden.

These tests were on poorly drained soils where Phytophthora rot was us- ually rather severe. This type of soil makes up the major portion of the soyaean acreage in the area. At the cotton branch statipn, Mananna, Bragg was the leading 1966 producer with 52.4 bushels per acre. Hood, Lee 68, Curtis, and Lee rounded out the top five 1966 producers. Hood, 411 bushels, had the' highest six-year average, followed by Lee, Jackson, Hill, and Rebel.

Dare produced 52.7 bushels per acre to lead the 1966 trials at the rice branch station, Stuttgart. It was followed by Bragg, Hill, Hood and Pickett Jackson, with an average yield of 403 bushels per acre, led the six-year results at Stuttgart. Posies Like Soih By John C.

Average yields were high on the loamy sand.

Hale 3 was the highest yielding variety of this soil type but produced low yields on the clay soil where Phytophthora rot was severe. Hill produced the lowest average yields on the loamy, sand even though it yielded an average of 34.2 bushels per acre for the three-year period. Hill is moderately resistant to Phytophthora rot, so its yields were rather high on the heavy clay soil. In addition to being rated for seed yield, the varieties in the trials were also tested for dis- plant hight, lodging, seed quality, shatter resistance, seed size and chemical composition of seed This information is contained in Report Series 168 The publication also contains brief discussions of the general performance adaptation, and disease reaction of each variety.

Bilbrey County Extension Agent North Mississippi County This is another sad time for farmers. They are really blue, and discouraged. Just no one can believe that this country could experience a third cotton disaster in a row.

It just can't happen. But it has happened. We have run out. of time 'to replant cotton in this area. Almost no farmers are willing to replant this far north after May 25.

In spite of bad experiences with late planted cotton this far north, the State ASC Committee says that farmers must plant or replant cotton on 65 percent of their allotment until May 31. Missouri cotton farmers just to the north of us were released from cotton planting requirements about May -18, I hear. Many farmers in North Mississippi County are discouraged irritated, and bitter over what they consider our unreasonable requirements to replant cotton here, after 25. Many farmers in North Mississippi County could plow up about 30 percent of their bad cotton and pjant it in soybeans such loans may be requested until June 30; maturity date for the loans is July 31: The loan maturity date may be extended for soybeans stored under loan in warehouses and for soybeans stored on farms but not yet under loan provided the extension is requested by the original loan maturity date. Producers with soybeans stored under loan on farms may have the maturity date extended if this is requested within 60 days after the original loan maturity date.

The support level for the 1967 crop of soybeans in Mississippi County.is $2.54 per bushel. This is based on a national average loan rate of $2.50 per bushel. Premiums and discounts are the same as for the 1966 crop. Producers may receive price support on their 1967 crop through loans on either warehouse or farm stored soybeans and through purchases; approved cooperating marketing associations may obtain price support on behalf of their members. ton program.

Many farmers don't realize this. This is terribly important. To you wives, untarily diverted. It's this 30 percent of their cotton allotment acreage that can be plowed up and be planted to soybeans now, or before May 31, if the farmer wants to give up on a part of his cotton. The 65 percent of the farmer's allotment is the amount which ASC regulations say farmers must plant or e- plant to cotton until May 31, or suffer consequences in loss of payments.

Take the case ofafarmer with 100-acre cotton allotment. Maybe he signed up to divert only the 5 percent mandatory acreage. This is 5 acres. The next 30 percent, or 30 acres in this case, was in the voluntary diversion category. It's this 30 acres of cotton that this particular farmer can plow up or give up on now and replant to soybeans, without any complications with the government program.

The remaining 65 percent of the cotton allotment is what is sometimes called the domestic allotment. Production pay ments are i paid on this 65 percent of the local allotment. Un-, less ASC rules are changed in I the next few days, farmers will have to wait until after May 311 before any part of that cotton allotment can be given up and planted in soybeans. Also, if any part of that 65 percent of their total allotment is to be abanded and planted in soybeans, the farmer must first make an official applica- tion to the ASC Office and get approval for doing so, befofiel he can plant that abanded cot ton land in some other, crop.
