Northern Grown Cow Peas and Soy Beans 
Now Recognized as the Most Profitable Fertilizer and Hay Crop 
Soils too Poor to Grow Clover Should be Sowed with Cow Peas 
Our seed on those wonclerful legumes is strictly 
NORTHERN GROWN, HARDY, VIGOROUS TYPES, 
produced from SELECTED and IMPROVED STRAINS 
which are vastly superior to the average quality of- 
fered. 
Make poor land rich, make good land more produc- 
tive, enriching the soil even after crop is cut. Green 
crops plowed under are one of tlie best and cheapest 
ways of Improving the soil. For this purpose the Cow 
Fea is excellent, especiall.v for a medium or light soil. 
They should be sown in May or June, at the rate of 
lyi bushels to the acre, and plowed under as soon as 
they have attained their full growth. 
COW PEAS FOR HAY. If planted early, say the 
middle of May, in the central corn belt section, a crop 
fan be cut and cured for hay the same as clover, then 
the stubble in a short time wiU put on a new growth 
to he turned under in the fall as a fertilizer. 
We suggest sowing Sugar Cane with this crop, at 
the rate o( one peck to one bushel of the Cow Pea.s, 
per acre. The Sugar Cane holds the vines off the 
ground, causing a better growth.

SOJA OB SOT BEANS 
Soja or Soy Beans 
This valuable forage and fertilizing 
plant is similar to clover in its habits of 
growth, but produces pods filled with nu- 
tritious beans, relished by all kinds of 
stock. 
For pasturing or feeding as green fod- 
der it is very valuable, and nearly equal 
to clover for fertilizing. Because of its 
erect habit of grow th, they are far easier 
to harvest and cure than the Cow Peas 
A larger crop may be secured by plant- 
ing and cultivating like corn, cutting 
with a corn binder and curing in shocks.
