Northern Grown Cow Peas and Soy Beans

NORTHERN GROWN, HARDY, VIGOROUS TYPES, 
oroduced from SELECTED and IMPROVED STRAINS 
B'hich are vastly superior to the average quality ot- 
tered. 
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 the best and cheapest 
wavs of improving the soil. For this purpose the Cow 
Pea is excellent, especially for a medium or light soil. 
They should be sown in May or June, at the rate of 
I'/i bushels to the acre, and plowed under as soon as 
Ihey 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 
can be cut and cured for hay the same as clover, then 
the stubble in a short time will put on a new growth 
to be turned under in the fall as a fertilizer. 
We suggest sowing Sugar Cane with this crop, at 
the rate of one peck to one bushel of the Cow Peas, 
per acre. The Sugar Cane holds the vines off the 
ground, causing a better growth.
