Positive Hay Cropper Even Under Most Extreme Weather Conditions. Defies Drought 
Making Valuable Hay Crop When Other Grasses Fail. Big Money In Them 
for Commercial Markets — Plant a Big Acreage This Year 111 
Soy Beans are easy to grow, 
and are especially valuable for 
soil too poor or acid for other 
legumes. They withstand both 
drought and rain well, and are 
not easily damaged by mois¬ 
ture. They make a good emer¬ 
gency crop, as they can be 
sown late, after other crops 
fail or are washed out. They 
deposit large quantities of 
nitrogen in the soil, building 
up-poor land on which clover 
or alfalfa can not be grown. 
Soy Beans, as a hay crop, 
are higher in protein content 
than clover hay, or field peas 
and oats mixed. For dairy cat¬ 
tle, the hay is etjual to alfalfa 
hay. They make wonderful 
ensilage, when grown with 
corn, and are also used for hog 
pasture. They take the place 
of oilmeal, and are even more 
palatable and digestible. 
Culture—Sow when all dan¬ 
ger of frost is over, about corn 
planting time. For hay crop. 
Soy Beans may be seeded 
broadcast or with grain drill 
using one bushel of seed per 
acre. Cover seed one inch 
deep. If preferred sow seed 
by drilling in rows 36 inches 
apart, allowing cultivation one 
way, using half-bushel seed 
per acre. It is now a univer¬ 
sal custom to sow Soy Beans 
in combination with corn for 
silo or hogging down, drop¬ 
ping one or two beans in each 
hill of corn. One bushel plants 
ten acres with corn, costing 
only a few cents per acre, but 
well worth $20.00 per acre. 
787 Ulini 
790 Manchu 
787 Ulini Introduced by tlie Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station Earliest of All-Excellent for Hog- 
» lllilll.gi n g Down. The Ulini is primarily a seed type rather than hay type, early maturing (105 
days), stands well, and holds its seed well. It has white flowers, gray pubescence, yellow seeds with light 
brown hilum or seed scar, and yellow to light brown pods. These characteristics enable one to distin¬ 
guish and rogue mixtures easily, and thus to keep the variety pure. We highly recommend this. y 2 lb.,

790 Manclm The best known and most Popular Variety. Medium early. Best for Hay and Silage. This 
» IVianCIlU.ig by f ar the most popular Soy Bean in the middle west. It is a medium early variety, and 
it matures dry beans in about 110 days. The Manchu is almost unanimously considered to be the best 
of all Soy Beans for any purpose until the introduction of Illini. Seeds are yellow with a peculiar black 
seed scar. It is a medium variety, originally from Northern Manchuria. We recommend this variety 
for hay and silage, and as being one of the best to plant with corn for silage. y 2 lb., 15 cts.; lb., 25 cts.;

Two New Outstanding Drought Defying Grain and Fodder Crops 
72#1/ Uartari This is a sweet sorghum somewhat similar to cane. Very nutritious. Valuable for 
/ ^o/2 negari. grain, dry fodder, ensilage and pasture. Yields up to 5,000 lbs. of grain per acre and 
up to 18 tons of ensilage. Live stock, especially cattle, are very fond of it due to its sweet taste. It com¬ 
bines the grain production of Kaffir and Milo with the high forage value of cane. For grain production 
drill like Kaffir 6 to 8 lbs. per acre. May be double rowed using double the amount of seed. For hay 
drill in close rows at 75 to 90 lbs. per acre. y 2 lb., 15 cts.; lb., 25 cts.; 3 lbs., 66 cts.; 5 lbs., 85 cts., postpaid. 
7 Pqi/ r i r rth m ll 3 A Cross Between Cane and Kaffir. Greatest drought resister. Very heavy producer. 
'2 uronoma. Cattle like it. Wonderful feed. Grows strong and erect. Most popular forage of 
recent introduction. Excellent pasture. Drill, double rowed using 18 to 20 lbs. per acre. y 2 lb., 15 cts.;

Spread on the Grass or Alfalfa stubble in the early morning- before the sun g-ets up, or along- 4:30 in the afternoon 
for best results. One or two applications of this when they are young will clean them up completely. 
Buckwheat — The Great Late Season Crop — Big Money Maker 
A very profitable crop for milling purposes, to turn under for fertilizer, to smother out weeds; for poul¬ 
try food, and to produce second crop following rye and wheat. When ground makes excellent hog food. 
There are two distinct varieties, Giant Japanese and Silver Hulled. Both make excellent pancake flour. 
Sow y 2 to 1 bu. per Acre. 
cqq The large grains are a rich dark color and have a thin hull. Very
