Heavy Seeded Mixtures oe Soy Beans and Gowfeas 



In Table XII. it is seen that soy l^eans so\ved 

 broadcast at the rate of 10 pecks per acre gave an 

 average yield of 2467 pounds of cured hay per acre. By 

 mixing 5 pecks of soy beans with 5 pecks of whipoor- 

 will cowpeas and sowing them broadcast the yield of 

 cured hay w^as increased 203 pounds per acre. When 

 the amount of soy beans mixed with 5 pecks of cow- 

 peas was re(hiced from 5 to 3 pecks, — tlie average yield 

 of liay Avas slightly increased — 280 pounds per acre. A 

 mixture of 5 pecks of Mannnoth Yellow beans and of 

 three pecks of Iron cowpeas gave an average increase 

 of 3.12 pounds of hay over the yield of 10 pecks of soy 

 Leans planted alone. 



In Table XII. it is shown that 10 pecks of Mammoth 

 Yellow soy beans alone sown broadcast did not yield 

 per acre 467 pomids as much cured hay as 10 pecks 

 of Whippoorwill cowpeas planted in a similar way. 

 When the rate of seeding of soy beans was reduced 

 from 10 to 1^2 pecks per acre, the yield of hay fell off 

 329 ])ounds per acre.
