The Florists^ Review 



Apbil 7, 1921 



to the southern states. Within the last 

 seven or eight years the department has 

 obtained about 300 introductions of soy 

 beans from Manchuria, Korea and 

 Japan, some of which grew as far north 

 as the fifty-second parallel. The most 

 promising northern varieties arc the 

 Black Eyebrow, the Mandarin and the 

 Manchu, all native to a latitude of about 

 46 degrees, on account of which they 

 are adapted to our most northern states. 

 A large number of samples of Black 

 Eyebrow soy bean were sent to northern 

 farmers last year, and out of 551 re- 

 ports returned more than 400 were fa- 

 vorable. Eeports promise a great in- 

 crease in acreage in northern states 

 this year. Seedsmen are laying in sup- 

 plies of these more northern varieties; 

 but many farmers, if unable to obtain 

 northern seed, will plant old varieties, 

 such as Ito San. From ninety to ninety- 

 five per cent of soy beans are raised for 

 hay, silage and pasture, although they 

 are prolific seed producers.
