Condon’s Northern Grown “Pure Bred” Soy Beans 
Most Important as a Feed and Ensilage Crop— 
Every Farmer Should Grow Soy Beans 
Soy Beans are easy to grow, 
and are especially valuable for 
soil too poor or acid for other 
legumes. They withstand both 
drought and rain well, and are 
not easily damaged by mois¬ 
ture. They make a good emer¬ 
gency crop, as they can be 
sown late, after other crops 
fail or are washed out. They 
deposit large quantities of 
nitrogen in the soil, building 
up poor land on which clover 
or alfalfa can not be grown. 
Soy Beans, as a hay crop, 
are higher in protein content 
than clover hay, or field peas 
and oats mixed. For dairy cat¬ 
tle, the hay is equal to alfalfa 
hay. They make wonderful 
ensilage, when grown with 
corn, and are also used for hog 
pasture. They take the place 
of oilmeal, and are even more 
palatable and digestible. 
Culture—Sow when all dan¬ 
ger of frost is over, about corn 
planting time. For hay crop. 
Soy Beans may be seeded 
broadcast or with grain drill 
using one bushel of seed per 
acre. Cover seed one inch 
deep. If preferred sow seed 
by drilling in rows 36 inches 
apart, allowing cultivation one 
way, using half-bushel seed 
per acre. It is now a univer¬ 
sal custom to sow Soy Beans 
in combination with corn for 
silo or hogging down, drop¬ 
ping one or two beans in each 
hill of corn. One bushel plants 
ten acres with corn, costing 
only a few cents per acre, but 
well worth $20.00 per acre for 
feed.

787 mini 790 Manchu 789 Medium Yellow 
787 mini 
Introduced by the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station Earliest 
of All-Excellent for Hogging Down. 
The mini is primarily a seed type rather than hay type, early maturing (105 days), stands well, and 
holds its seed well. It has white fiowers, gray pubescence, yellow seeds with light brown hilum or seed 
scar, and yellow to lig'nt brown pods. These characteristics enable one to distinguish and rogue mixtures 
easily, and thus to keep the variety pure. We highly recommend this. % lb., 15 cfs.; lb., 25 cts.; 3 lbs., 50 
cts., po.stpuid. 
790 Manchu 
The best known and most Popular Variety. Medium early. 
Best for Hay and Silage. 
This is by far the most popular Soy Bean in the middle west. It is a medium early variety, and it ma¬ 
tures dry beans in about 110 days. The Manchu is almost unanimously considered to be the best of all Soy 
Beans for any purpose until the introduction of Illlnl. Seeds are yellow with a peculiar black seed scar. It 
is a medium variety, originally from Northern Manchuria. We recommend this variety for hay and silage, 
and as being one of the best to plant with corn for silage. % lb., 15 cts.; lb., 25 cts.; 3 lbs., 50 cts., postpaid.

tion. V-z lb., 15 cts.; lb., 25 cts.; 3 lbs., 50 cts., postpaid. 
Buckwheat — The Great Late Season Crop — Big Money Maker 
A very profitable crop for milling purposes, to turn under for fertilizer, to smother out weeds; for poul¬ 
try food, and to produce second crop following rye and wheat. When ground makes excellent hog food. 
There are two distinct varieties. Giant Japanese and Silver Hulled. Both make excellent pancake flour.
