A Big Money Crop 
Here is another excellent crop to use on land 
thrown out of corn production. Can be used as 
a fertilizing crop of great value when crop is 
plowed under. 
It is truly amazing how soy beans have 
swept the country. Comparatively a few years 
ago they were an experiment. Now you see them every¬ 
where. The farmer who loses out on a crop of clover no 
longer does without hay. He plants Soy Beans and harvests 
a heavy crop of fine hay in the fall. If small grain doesn’t 
pay him he plants soy beans for a seed crop and harvests 
20 to 30 bushels of beans per acre. In our part of Iowa 
farmers plant soy beans after the small grain is off and take 
another hay crop or plovv under the stand for soil building. 
It’s no wonder the crop is popular. 
Our Prices Low 
You will find all kinds of prices on soybeans and all kinds 
of qualities. Our beans are real seed stock and very much 
superior to much that is sold for seed. They are thoroughly 
cleaned, run remarkably free of splits. Requires less seed 
per acre and produce better stands. Considering this all 
important factor of quality our prices are very low. See 
page 37. 
Weather last fall resulted in many beaus being made unfit 
for seed. Markets on high quality seed will strengthen as 
planting season approaches. Our advice is, buy early. 
How lo Handle Soy Beans 
Plant when, weather and soil is warm, com planting time or later. 
Prepare a fine clean seed bed. For hay broadcast or drill in close 
rows 1J4 to 2 bushels per acre. For seed in 18 to 20 inches apart 30 
to 40 lbs. per acre. Cultivate with a barrow while beaus are small 
and dry. Cut for bay when beans are fairly well formed, but be¬ 
fore leaves fall. Harvest for seed when beans are practically ripe. 
Inoculate Your Seed 
. Inoculation will give heavier yields and higher feeding value Cost 
is low. McQueen’s guaranteed Humus Inoculator for Soybeans Cow- 
peas and Field Peas is only 30c bu.; 50c for 2 bu.: $1.00 for 5 bu.; 
$1.70 for 10 bu. and $2.75 for 20 bu. size. 20 bu. comes in soy beans 
only. Prices are postpaid. Full directions furnished.

COWPEAS 
This is a money making legume. A soil building and 
hog crop that is widely used. 
Quick maturing crop. Requires more warmth than 
Soy Beans. Grow on poor soils. Very good for sandy 
or light loam. Makes rich feed. Also good soil builders. 
All. our seed stock is fine. See quotations page 37. 
Write for prices on large amounts. State quantity 
desired. Can ship southern orders from St. Louis. 
Varieties 
Whippoorwill. Medium early in maturity, about 80 
days. This is the most popular of all cowpea varieties 
and we have a big demand for them. They grow quite 
erect, which is a desirable characteristic and, no doubt, 
one of the reasons for its popularity. They are heavy 
producers and make a profitable kind to use. Seed is 
speckled brown in color. We recommend it highly. 
New Era. If you wish the earliest of all varieties 
select this one. Good for northern states or where late 
planting is necessary. May be planted after small grain 
for plowing under. Good soil builder. Smaller seeded 
than Whippoorwill. Use V/> bu. per acre for broadcast 
seeding. 
Mixed Cowpeas. Somewhat cheaper than unmixed yet 
many prefer a mixture. Fine for pasture, hay or soil 
building. Very desirable unless pure seed crop is de¬ 
sired. AH good recleaned stock. We have a big call 
for mixed cowpeas.
