Popular Soy Beaus — Other Soil Builders 
Soy Beans have received more publicity and praise in Texas and adjoining States during 1936 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.

VETCH 
Vetch is another splendid variety of forage plant. It is 
cover crop to prevent leaching and for forage and fertilizer 
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.
