OTHER LEGUMES 153 



TOPICS FOR INVESTIGATION 



1. Secure if possible a complete specimen of each of 

 the legumes described in the chapter. If they are not grown 

 in your vicinity, write your agricultural college as to how 

 they may be obtained. Study each different plant, and learn 

 to identify it. 



2. Secure seed of each of the legumes discussed. 

 Learn to identify the seed. Plant in the school garden or 

 at home, and watch the development of the plant. 



3. Which of these legumes could be grown in your 

 region ? Would they be profitable ? Talk with your father 

 about this. If they would not pay, is it because of unfa- 

 vorable climate, unsuitable soil, or because more profit- 

 able legumes can be grown? If you are not sure on any 

 of these points, write your agricultural college.
