SOME FACTS ABOUT SOY BEANS 
Seeds 
★ 37 “I wish to say out of fairness 
to A. H. Hoffman, Inc., that 
their products and business methods 
have always been entirely satisfactory 
to me.” 
Lauren Nelson, 
Lakewood, N. J.

★ 38 “The Manchu Soy Beans I 
bought of you last year sure 
did fine. They sure did produce a very 
fine lot of the very best of feed for 
cows. I put some up for hay. I put 
some of them through a Jay Bee ham¬ 
mer chopping mill with other grain. 
They make good in the chop. The 
Manchu is the bean I want to sow this 
year.” 
H. B. Hetrick, 
Mahoning, Pa. 
Soy Beans cut green and packed with corn for silage— 1 part Soys 
to 4 parts Corn—will make a perfect ration of more value than corn 
silage alone. 
Ground Soy Beans are greedily eaten by all stock—easily digested 
-—have a tonic effect. 
Corn and Soys grown together can be hogged down with con¬ 
venience and profit. 
Planted in corn, Soys will aid the corn rather than curtail it. 
Nitrogen gathered by the Soys becomes available to the corn. 
Soys can be grown on land too poor and acid to produce Clover. 
COW PEAS 
Please do not confuse Cow Peas with Canada Peas mentioned on 
page 18. They are entirely different. Cow Peas dare not be 
planted early—not until after corn-planting time. 
Cow Peas have much the same uses as Soy Beans, namely: im¬ 
provement of soil—hay production—forage—silage—and peas. 
The hay has just about the same feeding values. Methods of grow¬ 
ing, seeding and harvesting correspond. Both crops are great pro¬ 
ducers of nitrogen when properly inoculated. There are two chief 
differences. Cow Peas can be grown on even poorer ground than 
Soys—Cow Peas are more recumbent than Soys, and therefore more 
difficult to harvest. For pasturing, hogging or turning under for 
soil improvement, the trailing habit is no objection. Plant iy 2 
inches deep. Inoculate the seed. 
“NEW ERA” COW PEAS 
This popular variety matures early, has more erect habits than other 
sorts. Mows easily. Vines are fine, with many branches. Makes 
good hay. 
“WHIPPOORWILL” COW PEAS 
A GOOD, general-purpose variety. Has many friends. Is a vigor¬ 
ous grower. Early, fairly erect. Yields well both of hay and 
grain. 
GOLDEN MILLET AND COW 
PEAS—MIXED 
A great combination for either hay or green feed. Better than 
either seed sown by itself. Sow 3 pecks Golden Millet with 1 
bushel Cow Peas per acre. Cut when Millet is in bloom regardless 
of maturity of Cow Peas at the time. 
★ 39 “Your seed have always been 
the best, I could say the very 
best, and have always had fine results 
with it.” 
A. W. Wallis, Supt., 
Easton, Md. 
★40 “I have harvested and threshed 
the oats a few days ago. Your 
Victory made 70 bushels per acre and 
our own Native Western oats made 50 
bushels per acre side by side in the 
same field. This is from the machine 
not weighed. I am quite confident that 
it would over run quite a bit.”
