One of Our Best Hay, Soil Improving and Seed Producing Crops 
FEEDING VALUE. Soy bean 
hay contains a high per cent of 
protein, is superior to cowpeas 
in feeding value and as a milk 
and butter producer is equal to 
alfalfa and superior to cotton 
seed meal. The beans and bean 
meal contain about 35 per cent 
of digestible protein and stock 
eat them with relish and thrive 
on them. Hogs fed on soy beans 
in combination with corn fatten 
much more economically than on 
corn alone—a bus. of soy beans 
is worth at least double as much 
for feed as a bushel of corn. 
They make an excellent winter 
feed for young cattle, sheep and 
horses when fed with roughage. 
CULTURE.—Soy beans may 
be planted either broadcast or 
in drills. Usually a better crop 
is had when planted in drills 
and cultivated, and few crops 
leave the land cleaner and in 
better condition for the follow¬ 
ing crop. They grow equally 
well on light and heavy soils, 
but on heavy soils they should 
not be planted more than 1 to 
iy 2 inches deep except in dry 
seasons. On light sandy soils 
plant deeper, but not more than 
2 to 3 inches deep. When sown 
broadcast sow 1 to iy 2 bushels 
to the acre; in drills about a 
peck to the acre. Plant in April, 
May or June. 
Wilson Early Black 
(Maturity 120 days)—A very 
prolific variety and one of the 
best where a quick, early 
variety is desired. Average 
height on good land is about 
three feet. The Delaware 
State Experiment Farm rec¬ 
ommends the Wilson Black as 
ahead of any as a combina¬ 
tion hay and seed variety. It 
stands up well, makes pods a 
good distance from the 
ground and retains its seed. 
Its fine stem enables it to cure 
quickly. Its tall growth and 
absence of lower branches 
makes it one of the easiest to 
harvest. By mail postpaid, qt.

I avprlo — Genuine Southern 
Grown. (Maturity 1 40 
days)—A bean of outstanding 
worth, particularly for mak¬ 
ing hay. It has many slender 
branches and the plants are 
leafy, both of which go to 
make an ideal hay . As a fine 
quality hay-maker it stands 
second to none. In a six-year 
test it averaged \y 2 tons to 
the acre. It is medium in ma¬ 
turity, is a good yielder of 
beans, and has an advantage 
over many other varieties in 
that they do not shatter.

Dear Sira: 
Hovonbor 13, 1934 
Am In receipt of your letter asking how I like Toklo 
Soja Beane In comparison with Mammoth Yellow. 
I suppose as good an answer as I could make would be 
to say that I planted 13 acres of Toklos and about 80 acres of 
Mammoth Yellow In 1933, and that I planted 90 acres of Toklos 
and NO Mammoth Yellows in 1934. 
Personally, I like the Toklo very much better than 
the Mammoth Yellow or Tar Heel. In fact, I prefer It also, to 
the Virginia or Laredo for hay. It Is a very thrifty grower and 
does not react unfavorably to adverse weather conditions to the 
extent that the above named varieties do. It does not have the 
large, woody stalk that the Mammoth Yellow and Tar Heels have, 
and yet It does have stalk enough to keep It up off the ground 
so that It Is easy to either cut It for hay or harvest the 3eed 
with the combine. The foliage is heavier and finer than the 
Yellows, and seems to stay on the stalk very much better when 
cured for hay than any of the other varieties that I have tried. 
You will recall that the summer of 1933 was pretty 
dry and that fall very much so, yet the yield of the Toklos that 
I planted was over 50 % better than any of my other beans and I 
planted the Toklos on a poor piece of ground Just to test them 
out. This year the yields are splendid and I may say that I am 
really sold on the Toklo Soja B e an and shall most certainly 
stick to them until some other variety appears to be better, 
which I am not Inclined to think will be soon. 
Trusting that this will answer your question regard* 
tng my opinion of Toklos, I am, 
sincerely youre.

Easv Cook (Maturity 130 days)—An edible soja bean that can 
* be cooked in half the time of other varieties. Used 
for human consumption in the green stage, as well as dried 
beans. Easy Cooks are in big demand among sanatoriums for 
grinding into flour for diabetic cases. A heavy yielder, similar 
in size to Mammoth Yellow, but lighter in color. We believe 
this an excellent cash crop to grow. Ey mail postpaid, qt. 35c; 
y 2 peck 85c; peck $1.45; y 2 busnel $2.55; bushel $4.60.

SOWING WITH OTHER 
CROPS. — Soy beans can be 
grown with other crops, yield¬ 
ing a larger crop and a better 
balanced ration. Soy beans and 
cowpeas make a good combina¬ 
tion, and the yield is nearly al¬ 
ways greater than of either 
crop alone. Plant half-bushel 
soy beans to one bushel cow¬ 
peas to the acre. Soy beans and 
corn is a well - recommended 
combination, the beans being 
planted in the hill, or in alter¬ 
nate hills or alternate rows, de- 
pending on the proportions 
wanted in the feed. 
Sorghum and a late soy bean 
make a good combination, pro¬ 
vided the sorghum is not plant¬ 
ed too thickly. Sudan grass and 
soy beans give a better bal¬ 
anced feed than Sudan grass 
alone, as its protein content is 
low, while that of soy beans is 
high. 
CARE — If a crust forms on 
the land before the soy beans 
come up, break it up with a 
harrow. This will prevent what 
is commonly called “breaking 
their necks.”

VWmia (Maturity 125 days) 
vii giiiia _ 0n account of }ts 
abundant growth and 'large 
yield of beans, the Virginia 
makes most excellent hay and 
ensilage. As it is about 2 0 
days earlier than Mammoth 
Yellow, it can be grown fur¬ 
ther north and throughout the 
corn belt. The vines make a 
fine growth, are filled with 
pods, stand about three feet 
high, are easy to cut and easy 
to cure. The stems being fine, 
and the leafage profuse, 
adapts It particularly well for 
hay-making. One of the ex¬ 
periment stations calls Vir¬ 
ginia the best all-round va¬ 
riety, and recommends it for 
all sections that will mature 
Boone County and the large 
white cap varieties of corn.
