SOY BEANS—Cont. 
Manchll. A medium early yellow variety with black eye on the 
seed. The most popular variety at the present time in Iowa, Minnesota, 
Wisconsin and South Dakota. 
Spring Rye. True Stock. Spring Rye makes an excellent crop where 
winter grain has been killed out. nr for sowing where a fall crop has not 
been planted. If desired it can be turned under and made to answer a 
pood purpose in adding to the fertility of the soil. Sow seed same time 
as other sprinp grain. Does not prow quite so large straw as Winter Rye, 
but usually yields as well and grain is of line quality. 
Sudan Grass. The Ideal Emergency Hay 
and Pasture crop for late planting. For 
best results, broadcast 30 to 40 pounds per 
acre, after the ground is thoroughly warm. 
May 15 to June 15, on the average, is as 
early as it is practical to sow Sudan, and 
it may be sown as late as July or August. 
Never plant until ground is thoroughly 
warmed. 
AMBER CANE 
Southern Cane. This variety does not 
mature so early as the Minnesota Sorghum, 
but the yield is usually heavier. When 
Sorghum is grown for fodder only, the South¬ 
ern Cane will give the greatest tonnage and 
is usually grown on that account by dairymen, 
to feed their milch cows. It is nlso desirable 
when grown as a pasture plant for sheep, 
hogs or cattle. All kinds of stock eat it readily. 
Southern Cane is not suitable for making 
syrup when grown in the North, but for feed 
is splendid. 
Minnesota Sorghum or Amber Cane. 
This is an early variety of sorghum that was 
originated in Minnesota and has been, by care¬ 
ful selection, very much improved as to its sugar con¬ 
tent during recent years. It is especially valuable for 
the manufacture of sorghum syrup which is now a 
profitable and staple product on many farms in the 
Northwest. Many stockmen prefer to plant the Min¬ 
nesota sorghum for forage purposes because of its 
earliness and high sugar content. It produces a ton¬ 
nage almost equal to the southern sorghum and makes 
a crop of seed of high feeding value in addition to the 
forage. Plant in drill rows and cultivate the same as 
corn. 
FIELD PEAS 
Spring Rye 
Canada Field Peas, Yellow. Height of vine 3% to 4 ft. This 
variety is extensively grown in Canada, Wisconsin and other pea growing 
sections, and has a large sale, not only for agricultural purposes, but for 
use in soups. 
White Marrowfat. Height 3!£ feet. Grown on account of the great 
quantities of pods which it bears and for canning purposes. The vines are 
of strong, sturdy growth but mature the pods quite late. The large, 
cylindrical, light colored pods are well filled with round, smooth, light 
yellow peas of somewhat dry and mealy quality.
