Coyiclusions. 



1. Soja beans should be planted in drills, to keep the 

 weeds down. They grow too slowly to shade the ground 

 sufficiently against objectionable vegetation. 



2. Vetch and oats yield larger crops, suitable for green 

 fodder, than soja bean, at an early part of the season. They 

 yield also a larger crop of dry fodder for winter use. 



3. Both crops, vetch and oats and soja bean, produce a 

 valuable ensilage. Two weight parts of corn, cut when the 

 kernels are glazing, and one weight part of early-maturing 

 soja bean, have furnished us a valuable ensilage for winter 

 and spring use.
