Soy Beans and Corn for Silage 
15 per cent more Tonnage 
Nearly 100 per cent increase in Protein 
Fanners are just beginning to realize the decided advantage of planting soybeans with their 
silage corn. Soybeans are as high in protein and food value as clover or alfalfa, 4| % Protein. 
Corn silage alone is only \\% protein. By planting soybeans with your corn you can raise this 
percentage to almost three per cent, or double the protein content of your silo. 
TRY IT SOYBEANS ARE CHEAP — AND WATCH YOUR COWS MILK 
Last year we dropped If cans of milk in changing from corn and soybean silage to just plain 
corn silage on a dairy of 50 cows. 
Direction For Planting 
Plant your corn, rowing it one way, spacing the kernels 9-12 inches apart and put three soy¬ 
beans between each kernel of corn. You can check this by running on the road for a short dis¬ 
tance. This takes 6-8 quarts of corn and 12-16 quarts of beans to the acre. Be sure to plant 
shallow and wait until after the ground has become warm. The beans must be innoculated. The 
beans may be mixed right in the same box with the corn, may be put in a special box or may be 
mixed with the fertilizer. On long rows, when the beans and corn are planted in the same box, 
the beans have the tendency to work to the bottom and plant out first. They should be kept 
mostly on top. If the beans are put in with the fertilizer, the corn itself should be innoculated or 
else the fertilizer will kill the innoculation. Lise this practice only when small amounts of ferti¬ 
lizer are sown. 
After the beans and corn are about 3 inches high it often pays to go over the land with a spike 
tooth harrow on a good dry day.
