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 or Soy Beans 
COW PEAS 
Our seed on these wonderful legumes is strictly 
northern grrowu, burdy, vlg:orous types, produced 
from selected and imiiroved Ktniins, which are 
vastly superior to the average quality offered. 
Make poor land rich, make good land more 
productive, enriching the soil even after crop is 
cut. Green crops plowed under are one of the 
best and cheapest ways of improving the soil 
For this purpose the Cow Pea is excellent, espe- 
cially for a medium or light soil. They should 
be sown in May or June, at the rate of 1% 
bushels to the acre, and plowed under as soon 
as they have attained their full growth. 
Cow Pens 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 butter growth.

SOJA OR SOY BEANS 
This valuable forage and fertilizing plant is similar to Clover Itt its liablts of 
growth, but produces pods tilled with nutritious beans, relished by all kinds of stock. 
Many farmers to whom this great bean has practically been unknown until late years 
were surprised at the revelations of their own experiments. With the exception of 
Alfalfa, Soy Beans have the highest Protein of any of the dried roughages, such as 
Clover, Corn, etc. For pasturing or feeding as green foddfer it is very valuable, and 
nearly equal to clover for fertilizing. Because of Its erect habit of growth, they are 
far easier to harvest and cure than the Cow Peas. A larger crop may be secured by 
planting and cultivating like corn, cutting with a corn binder and curing in shocks. 
This is the greatest crop known to plant with Corn for the Silo, using about ten pound's 
to the acre and plant at the same time, will increase your silo feed 50%. "Just think of 
it." There are a great many varieties of Soy Beans and we have tried them all and 
recommend the following as the best: The best variety for the north is A'o. 785 Ito- 
San — matures in 100 days. Bushy, upright plant 3 ft. high, heavy foliage, excellent for 
silage, hay or ripe seed crop. No. 784 A. K. and 78« Black Kye-Brow.s — mature in 110 
days. Medium height, good yielders. No. 783 HoUybrook or Itledlnm Yellow — matures 
in 125 days. Medium height, upright growers. No. 787 Virginia, No. 788 Sable and 
78» Mammoth Yellow — matures in 125 days. Rather vlning, 4 to 5 feet, good silage, 
rather late for seed to ripen well. Iiuiform price ou all. lb., 15 cts.i lb., 26 fts.; 3 lbs.,
