SOME FACTS ABOUT SOY BEANS 
Soy Beans cut green and packed with corn for silage— 
1 part Soys to 4 parts com—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 convenience and profit. 
Planted in corn, Soys will aid the corn rather than 
curtail it. Nitrogen gathered by the Soys becomes avail¬ 
able to the corn. 
Soys can be grown on land too poor and acid to 
produce Clover. 
Please do not confuse Cow Peas with Canada Peas men¬ 
tioned on page 32. 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: 
improvement of soil—hay production—forage—silage—and 
peas. The hay has just about the same feeding values. 
Methods of growing, seeding and harvesting correspond. 
Both crops are great producers 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 
vigorous 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.
