176 AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. [Jan. 



The crop when harvested, September 7 and 8, to serve for 

 the production of a mixed ensilage (soja l)ean and fodder 

 corn), showed no signs of seed pods or blossoms. It 

 diflered in this respect decidedly from other early matur- 

 ing varieties, white and black soja beans, which have been 

 raised and described by us in preceding annual reports. 



The advantage, if any, of this new variety of soja bean 

 consists in the large amount of vegetable matter it produces, 

 as compared with the early maturing varieties.

 sis of soja bean seed; 3. Analysis of soja bean straw (matured plant, early 



variet}') .]
