“520 acres of Sudan Grass will make more pasture 
during the hot summer months than 640 acres of 
native grass.”—U. S..D. A. Bulletin. 
Sudan is a great annual hay and pasture crop. 
As a hay crop, will yield as much as 10 tons per acre 
under favorable conditions. One of.our greatest drought- 
resisting crops. In dry weather sow Sudan and get tre¬ 
mendous yields of hay and pasture. 
Sow Sudan after the ground warms up in the spring. 
Put on from 25 to 35 pounds per acre. Get it covered 
from one-half inch to an inch in depth. Figure on each 
acre of Sudan carrying 3,000 pounds of livestock all sum¬ 
mer long. Sudan gives you two big cuttings of hay per 
season. Relished by all kinds of livestock, cattle, horses, 
hogs, sheep, and even chickens. 
The Sudan Grqss seed crop last fall was a big one. 
However, some of the seed was of inferior quality and 
poor germination. We passed this kind of seed up and 
are able to offer you only the finest quality of new crop 
seed, highest purity and germination. The lowest price

The Soy Bean is 
#he most productive of 
any legume for this territory. 
Makes a wonderful hay of high protein 
content. The seed is good for human 
food, particularly for diabetics. Ground 
Soy Beans make wonderful hog feed and, 
of course, there is always a market for 
Soy Beans for oil crushing purposes. The 
manufactured articles which can be made 
out of pressed Soy Beans are very, very 
numerous and some factories have already 
been established for the purpose of using 
Soy Beans commercially. 
Soy Beans are very easy to grow. Even 
on poor soil they make a satisfactory growth, 
provided they are inoculated. The seed bed 
should be well prepared by plowing and 
working with a disc harrow until a firm seed 
bed with about two or three inches loose and 
mellow soil is secured. It is best after pre¬ 
paring the ground to let it lie fallow for two 
or three weeks and then give another good 
discing and harrowing so as to have the land 
free from weeds. 
When the beans are about four inches high, 
it is advisable to harrow again to destroy 
any further weed growth. Drilling with a 
two-row corn planter requires about 15 
pounds of seed per acre; splitting the corn 
rows, one-half bushel to the acre, and drilled 
With a grain drill, about one bushel to one 
bushel and a peck. If a broad¬ 
cast seeding is made, we recommend 
one and one-half bushels to two bushels per acre. 
Always inoculate a seeding of Soy Beans. You 
will have increased vigor of growth and inocula¬ 
tion helps build up the soil and the protein con¬ 
tent of the beans and hay. Hogs eat Soy Beans 
readily. 
Soy Beans may be cut for hay any time after 
the setting of leaves until they begin to turn 
yellow. Plant at corn planting time. 
MANCHU. This is the earliest and best main 
crop yellow Soy Bean. Yellow Soy Beans are 
best for hogging down, for oil and for feed 
mixing. This is the best all-around type of all. 
A good hay bean, too. Matures beans in 105 
days. $1.35 per bu. 
lliI>INI. The smallest yellow Soy Bean. Use 
about one-fourth less seed per acre when sow¬ 
ing this variety; especially recommended for 
hay. Matures beans in 110 days. $1.35 per bu. 
EARLY BLACK WILSON. One of the finest hay 
beans. Tall growing; heavy foliage producer. 
Matures beans in about 110 to 115 days. $1.55 
per bu. 
VIRGINIA. One of the highest yielding hay 
beans. Grows tall and leafy. The seed is 
brown. Matures beans in 120 to 125 days. $1.55 
per bu. 
Feeding Value of Soybean Hay 
Under tests, dairy cows fed Soy Bean straw 
alone produced 12 per cent more milk and~14 per 
cent more butterfat than corn stover. It is ex¬ 
tremely rich in protein. Practically equals Al» 
falfa. 
Soy Beans also may be very satisfactorily used 
for silage, the best results being obtained when 
mixed with corn and sorghums. It is best to 
grow the beans separate and mix them while cut¬ 
ting for the silo. Soy Beans may be planted with 
corn in the same hill or in alternate rows. In 
this manner, they may be hogged off or harvested 
for silage.
