Soy Beans have received more publicity and praise in Texas and adjoining 
States during 1935 than other crops. Soy Beans require the same soil as 
corn, although this bean will make a very satisfactory growth on poorer land 
than corn, if the seed is properly inoculated. It is a legume and therefore a 
wonderful soil builder, but has many other uses. 
Mammoth Yellow 
The use of Soy Beans is increasing rapidly 
all over the country and especially in the 
South where our farmers are becoming more 
interested in stock raising for real profit and, 
at the same time, increasing the fertility of 
! their lands. For cutting as hay and as a 
soil builder, sow at the rate of 2% bushels to 
the acre broadcast. For growing Beans, 
sow from 15 to 30 lbs. per acre in drills 3 
feet apart. Soy Beans should be planted in 
April, May, June or July. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 
45c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $1.65. Ask 
for prices on larger quantities. 
Laredo Soy Beans 
A variety of outstanding worth, particu- 
i larly for making hay. The Laredo makes many 
i slender branches and the plants are leafy, 
i both of which go to make an ideal Bean for 
j hay. It is particularly adapted to sections 
■ where wilt and nematode are prevalent, as 
! it has proven resistant to these troubles. 
As a soil builder it ranks favorably with 
other summer legumes. The seeds of the La¬ 
redo Bean are very small. One bushel, 60 
pounds, will plant about 10 acres in 2%-foot 
rows, planting three to four seeds to the foot 
in drills. The proper time to cut for hay is 
when the Beans are about half matured. Lb., 
25c; 2 lbs., 40c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 
lbs., $1.75. Ask for prices on larger quan¬ 
tities.

Biloxi Soy Beans 
The Biloxi is upright in growth, reaching 
4 feet or more in height. A heavy yielder of 
beans, the oil and protein content is high. 
Requires 165 days and is almost shatter proof. 
Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Please write 
I for prices in larger lots. 
Otootan Soy Beans 
This variety is one of the best hay-makers. 
It has many leafy branches instead of a 
heavy center stem. Requires 170 days. Lb., 
25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Please write for 
prices in larger lots. 
MUNG BEANS 
An exceptionally good hay crop and a won¬ 
derful soil improver and very drought re¬ 
sistant. About 5 pounds will plant an acre. 
Best results are obtained when planted in 
2 y 2 - to 3-foot rows, 4 to 6 inches in the 
drill. For hay purposes we advise planting 
in April. Seed can be harvested as Soy Beans 
or picked by hand. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, post¬ 
paid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $2.00. Ask for 
prices on larger quantities. 
VELVET BEANS 
Another great forage plant and soil build¬ 
er. Velvet Beans make a greater growth of 
vines than any other known forage plant in 
the same length of time, far surpassing any 
of the cow peas in growth. They should be 
planted in rows 3 to 5 feet apart, at the 
rate of one-half bushel to three pecks per 
acre. They are also fine for planting in 
corn. These Beans make wonderful grazing 
for all kinds of stock, and even after frost 
has killed the vines, stock will eat vines and 
beans and fatten on them. Such vines and 
roots as are left by stock should be plowed 
under, as they are very rich in fertilizing 
value. 
EARLY SPECKLED OR 100-DAY VINING 
VARIETY. Lb., 20c; 2 lbs., 35c, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $1.65. Ask for prices on 
larger quantities. 
VETCH 
Vetch is another splendid variety of forage 
plant and is rapidly gaining popular favor 
with farmers and stock raisers throughout 
the country. It is very hardy, is valuable 
as a winter cover crop to prevent leaching 
and for forage and fertilizer purposes. 
HAIRY WINTER VETCH. May be sown 
either in spring or fall. For fall planting 
should be sown in August or September; it 
will cover the ground before frost and make 
a valuable winter forage crop. When sown 
in spring it is ready to cut by July; the 
second growth will make excellent pasture 
for late summer and fall use. Sow 50 to 
60 pounds of Vetch with the same amount 
of oats, using the oats to support the Vetch. 
Lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 50c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 
20 lbs., $3.75. Ask for prices on larger quan¬ 
tities. 
OREGON VETCH. About the same as 
Hairy Vetch except not quite so hardy. Sow 
in spring as well as fall. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 
40c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $2.00. 
Ask for prices on larger quantiites. 
Mung Beans 
PURPLE VETCH. Resembles the Hairy 
Vetch, having a purple flower. It is slightly 
less hardy than the other Vetches, but goes 
through ordinary winters very successfully. 
Sow the same as Hairy Vetch. Makes fine 
winter pasture, hay in the spring and is 
an excellent green manure crop to plow un¬ 
der in the spring. A fine feed for milch 
cows in the spring is to sow a mixture of 
Vetches, Austrian Winter Peas and Oats and 
cut these as needed. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, 
postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $2.50. Ask 
for prices on larger quantities. 
Soy Beans 
The Soy Bean has been cultivated in 
the Orient since ancient times and in 
extent of uses and value it is still one 
of the most important legumes in use. 
Soy Beans will produce on soil that 
will make a crop of corn. It is more 
drought-resistant and less sensitive to 
an excess of moisture than either cow 
peas or corn. 
Consult your County Agent as to the 
best variety to plant.
