So}^ Beans have increased in favor the past ten j'ears 
and is now one of the standard legumes. It is grown 
for the grain, for .soihng, for ensilage, for green manure 
and for pasture. It is an erect plant — grows two to three 
feet tall, resembling the common field bean, but is more 
hairy. The stems are coarse for feed, but the dense leaves 
and beans make a hay that is nutritious and fattening. 
The greatest value of Soy Beans is for soil improve- 
ment. In the far North the beans will not mature but 
the crop can be made of immense value for nitrogen 
gathering and fertilizer purposes. 
The So}' Bean is a warm weather plant and must not 
be planted until after corn. Seeding is usually done with 
a drill in rows 30 inches apart, so as to permit of cultiva- 
tion. Maj' also be .sown broadcast. When planted in 
rows 2 to 3 pecks per acre is required. When broad- 
casted a bushel per acre is light seeding. Maj' be grown 
in poor soils. Inoculation of seed is important in the 
successful culture of ,Soy Beans. Prices— See Latest List.
