Soy Beans 
Wilsons’ Soy Beans 
WILSONS’. This is the most popular variety in cul¬ 
tivation. This is an early sort that will mature seed in 
Penna., Ohio and N. J. On account abundant growth of 
slender stems and branches the Wilson makes the best 
sort to grow for Hay. This is also an excellent sort to 
grow for seed and ensilage. Will do well on poor soils and 
produce a large crop of beans, but we would recommend 
good soil for hay, forage, soiling, silage or green manure. 
See price list. 
The Soy Bean is a crop of interest to all classes of 
farmers, and is boun d to establish itself as one of the 
most valuable additions to Amer¬ 
ican agriculture. No crop has 
gained popularity as rapidly as 
Soy Beans. On land too poor to 
grow Clovers, Soy Beans and Cow Peas can be made to 
produce great quantities of feed and will increase the 
fertility while doing it. Soy Beans should not be planted 
until the ground is warm. About ten days after corn 
planting would be safe. Soil should be well prepared, 
just the same as you would for corn. Seed should be 
covered about one and one-half inch deep. Can be sown 
broadcast or drilled in. When drilled with grain drill 
sow one and one-fourth bu. per acre. Broadcast will re¬ 
quire one and one-half bushels per acre. Sowing them in 
rows of 24 to 32 inches apart and two to three inches in 
the row will save seed and you will be able to cultivate 
your crop. Cultivate it as often as you would Corn. 
This method of planting will require 20 to 30 pounds 
per acre, depending on the width of the rows. 
The growing of Soy Beans has long since passed the 
experimental stage. Their adaptation to all parts of the 
country, and their value and place in agriculture appa¬ 
rently surpassing all other legumes, has been determined. 
Their high feeding value and their usefulness as soil 
improver makes them valuable additions to our list of 
field crops. 
MAMMOTH YELLOW. This is a medium maturing 
variety. Will not mature seed in Pennsylvania and Ohio. 
Will grow on barren soil that does not have sufficient fer¬ 
tility to grow other plants. Planted largely as ensilage 
with corn, or for forage and turned under for soil im¬ 
provement. Not such a good variety for hay, grows very 
tall, and is coarser in texture than Wilson. Will make 
more growth, and more bulk for silage than any other 
variety. See price list. 
MANCHU. This variety has been very popular in 
Penna. and Ohio. It is a general all purpose Bean, 
and has few rivals. Can be used for Hay, and a good 
variety for hogging down. Does not shell out easily. A 
good \ ielder for seed purposes. Grows Tall, erect and 
bushy. Matures Beans in about 110 days in a normal 
season. See price list.

Canada Field Peas 
The demand for Canada Field Peas increases every 
year. It is used both as a green feed and as a fertilizer 
and the amount of feed produced per acre is very large. 
Valuable feed for hay or soiling. It is readily eaten by all 
kinds of stock, and is as nourishing as can be desired. It 
ranks very high as a fertilizer, either when plowed under 
or pastured off. We would advise every farmer to use 
Field Peas more liberally than many of them have been 
doing in the past, knowing that they will be pleased with 
the results. Canada Field Peas are mostly sown with 
they furnish the nitrogen so much 
needed by all soils. As a forage 
for dairy cows and hogs they 
stand in the front ranks. There is 
no crop that we can so heartily 
recommend. They are perfectly hardy and will do on 
any soil adapted to Oats or Wheat. Canada Field Peas 
are most profitable when sown with Oats. The Oats will 
support the vines, and lessen trouble to harvest. Sow 
13^2 bushels of Peas per acre, and about the same amount 
of Oats. Peas should be drilled first about 33^ inches 
deep and the Oats sown 2 inches deep. See price list. 
It will pay you to inoculate your Peas with Stimugerm. 
Great quantities of Stimugerm are used each season to 
inoculate the seed for Canada Field Peas. 
Tobacco Seed 
Lancaster County Heel Rose 
Seed Leaf Type. Best for size, 
weight and quality. Does not easily 
shoot in dry weather. Fewer suckers 
than other varieties. Stands up well 
and is a profitable sort to grow. 
Sprout seed and sow in hot bed early 
in April. Plants, when developed, 
should be transplanted in rows about 
32 inches apart and 24 inches on the 
row. 
H ounce will sow 200 to 250 square 
feet.
