WONDERFUL 
FOR H AY AND SOIL-BUILDING 
Soy Beans are the richest, cheapest, and most 
productive of all legumes. Superior to cowpeas as 
soil-improvers. They grow on all kinds of soils. Soy Bean 
hay is more nutritious than cowpea hay, and stock like it better. 
As a milk and butter producer, Soy Beans are equal to alfalfa 
and superior to cotton-seed meal. A bushel of Soy Beans is worth 
more for feed than two bushels of corn. Produces a heavy growth 
ofvines which will shade land and destroy bad grasses, without 
interfering with growth of corn. Drought and excessive 
rainfall affect them less than cowpeas. They make a rich 
and nutritious hay and one of the cheapest. The Beans and 
Bean-meal contain about 35 per cent of digestible protein, 
and stock thrive on them. Hogs fed on Soy Beans, in com¬ 
bination with corn, fatten much more economically than on 
corn alone. Excellent winter feed for young cattle, sheep, 
and horses when fed with roughage. It is one of the South’s 
most economical soil-builders. Our seed is all thoroughly 
recleaned and high germinating stock. Write for quantity 
prices when ready to buy. 
Culture. Prepare the ground as you would for cowpeas, sowing seed 
in 3- to 3 J^-foot rows, 3 to 4 seeds 8 to 10 inches apart—or sow broadcast. 
Do not plant the seed over 1 }-4 inches deep. Cut for hay when the pods 
are well formed, or, if wanted for seed, let the Beans mature. Inoculate 
the seed for best results.

O-TOO-TANS 
709 (Matures in 170 days.) The most popular main-crop hay and' 
soil-improving Soy Bean. Compared with cowpeas, one-fourth the 
amount of seed will produce double the amount of hay. Compared to 
velvet beans, it makes a better cover-crop, does not over-run trees or 
fences, and can be cut for hay if wanted. There is no legume that will put 
as much humus and nitrogen combined into the soil. Produces 4 to 6 tons 
of dry hay, or 10 to 15 tons of green forage per acre, and surpasses alfalfa 
in feed-value. When grown for seed, you can expect 40 to 50 bushels per 
acre. Grows over a long period and is seldom affected by wet or dry 
weather. Less liable to shatter than other sorts. It cures quickly, and 
for hay and grain combined it has no equal. Plant in rows 2)^ to 3 
feet apart, 4 to 8 inches apart in drill. A bushel will plant 8 to 
10 acres solid, or from 12 to 15 acres in corn middles.

711 (Matures in 140 days.) The increase in 
popularity and acreage enjoyed by Laredos has 
been phenomenal. The plant’s many slender, 
leafy branches make it unexcelled as a high- 
quality hay. In a six-year test it averaged 1 )/£ 
to 2 tons to the acre. Yields 30 to 40 bushels of 
seed per acre. It is early enough to be harvested 
in warm weather—-usually the latter part of 
September—and late enough to be productive. 
If the Beans in the corn must be cut for hay, 
the corn and Beans should be planted before 
the middle of April, or the Beans may ripen 
ahead of prolific varieties of corn. In our 
latitude can be planted up to August 1. Similar 
to the O-too-tan in that it is distinctly a hay 
and land-improving Bean but earlier. It is 
immune to root-knot. One bushel plants 8 to 
10 acres. Lb. 25c; 2 lbs. 40c; 5 lbs. 75c, 
postpaid. Write for larger quantity prices. 
707 
(Matures in 145 days.) One of the most 
extensively grown for both Beans and forage. It 
grows more than 3 feet high, is erect, and can be 
cut with a mower. A good hay Bean. Well suited 
for planting with cowpeas. A splendid seed yielder 
and used by many farmers for an early hog and 
cattle crop. You can expect 20 to 40 bushels of 
seed per acre and 1 to 2 tons of hay. We sug¬ 
gest drilling in rows 3 feet wide, using Y bushel of 
seed per acre, or broadcast a bushel to the acre. 
Use a corn-planter, which will drop the Beans 
3 to 4 inches apart. Do not cover too 
deep—1 to 1 Y inches is about right.
