SOY BEANS 
Qjuuu Soy Beaui Jp* cMicjJt Value tf-eed and to. 9mpSioue f ljou>i jBand! 
Soy Beans are not only valuable for stock feeding on account of the 
high protein content of the beans and plant, but being a legume they 
actually improve the soil by adding nitrogen thereto. This is true whether 
they are grown for feed and cut or plowed under as a cover crop. Cows 
give more milk and sheep fatten better on Soy Bean hay than any other 
kind. The vines can be cut and used as hay or they may be left until the 
beans are ripe and fed without threshing. They will often yield 3 to 4 tons 
of hay and 20 bushels or more of grain per acre. 
For Grain drill in rows about 28 inches apart and cultivate two or 
three times, or they can be drilled with a grain drill in 7" rows and dragged 
over with a rotary hoe when the beans are about 5" high. It is important 
to kill the weeds when the plants are still young. Use about one bushel 
of seed per acre. 
For Seed it is better to cut with a grain binder when the leaves fall 
making the bundles small, altho some farmers use a mower with swather 
attached to cutting bar successfully. Sow one bushel of seed per acre. 
For the Silo. Soy beans grown with corn make ensilage far superior to 
corn alone. It is recommended to use about 11 qts. of Soy Beans and 9 
qts. of corn per acre. Sow the corn and beans together keeping them well 
mixed in the planter box. They can be harvested with the corn in one 
operation. 
For Plowing Under. A crop of Soy beans plowed under in the fall 
adds a large amount of nitrogen and humus to the soil. Use 2 bushels of 
seed per acre in drills 7" apart. 
For Hay. Soy beans make excellent hay. They should be sowed in 
solid drills at the rate of about 2 bushels per acre, cut with a mower and 
handled like alfalfa. 
r A VIJC5 A CERTIFIED. (New.) The best variety to produce 
-- grain in the North. Developed at the New York State 
College of Agriculture and has proved an exceptionally valuable kind 
for grain here in the North where the later varieties will not ordinarily 
produce seed. It is early maturing and ripens seed regularly in prac¬ 
tically all parts of New York State. It is upright in growth and when 
sown at the recommended rates, on good soil the plants reach a height 
of two to three feet. The seed is nearly black and about the size and 
shape of good pea beans. This is a heavy yielding variety, many farms 
reporting 20 to 25 bu. of seed per acre and in some cases as high as 35 
bu. per acre have been reported. 
Some dairymen cut the crop just before the leaves fall, allow it to 
dry in the field and grind it in hammer mills. This furnishes a dairy 
feed of high nutritive value.

MANCHU. Grow for hay or cover crops. This variety is better 
suited to the northern states for hay and ensilage than for seed. The 
plants are 3 feet tall, upright, with few branches near the ground. The 
foliage is heavy and the yield of hay above most other kinds. It ripens 
ten days to two weeks later than Cayuga and cannot be depended on 
to ripen seed in this climate. Its fine stems make hay of high quality.

FOR SOY BEANS. More than with any 
other crop it is important that Soy Beans 
be inoculated with nitrogen fixing bacteria. 
Lack of proper inoculation may reduce the 
crop as much as 50%.

Alpha Barley Japanese Buckwheat 
BARLEY 
Cheaper Feed for Hogs, Cattle or Horses. Barley can be raised at 
much less expense and labor than corn and is of equal food value. An 
acre of barley will often produce nearly as much as an acre of corn and the 
expense of raising it is less than half. Barley is an excellent crop with 
which to sow grass or clover seed. 
Barley for Malting. Malt houses require a six rowed barley. Wis¬ 
consin No. 38 described below is the best malting type to grow in this 
section and we recommend it for this purpose. Alpha being a two rowed 
barley is not suitable for malting. 
ALPHA CERTIFIED This is now the most popular variety and 
- is more largely grown than any other kinds in the East. 
This variety originated at Cornell University and is a two-rowed barley 
with very large, plump heavy grain. The heads are usually 4 to 5 inches 
long and well filled. The straw is long, very strong and stands up well. 
The yield on good land is usually 45 to 50 bu. per acre. 
This barley matures later than the common 6 rowed and is therefore 
better for raising with oats, as the two crops mature at the same time. 
Alpha Barley and Cornellian Oats are ideal companion crops. 
We should be glad to send any one interested a sample.

WISCONSIN NO. 38. CERTIFIED. A six rowed smooth 
- awn type developed by the Wisconsin 
Agricultural Experiment Station that has proved a very desirable type 
to grow in this section. It is especially valuable as it can be grown for a 
malting barley. It matures about the same time as Alpha, has a fairly 
stiff straw and yields large crops. 
Certified Seed. Pk. 65c; Bu. $2.15; Sack of 2 Bu. (96 Lbs.) $4.00; 
5 Sacks or more at $3.80 per sack. Purchaser pays transportation. 
BUCKWHEAT 
JAPANESE. Certified. This is the largest and best buckwheat. 
———— The plant grows taller, makes a more vigorous 
growth than the common kinds and yields more. The kernels are very 
large, dark brown or black, plump and heavy. 
Buckwheat is easily raised and will make a profitable crop on rather 
poor land, where other grain would fail. It is also largely used as a 
cover crop in orchards. Sow in June or July. 
Our strain of this variety has uniform large plump kernels and is not 
mixed with the small grey kinds. We believe ours is the only crop of 
certified Japanese Buckwheat grown in New York State this year. 
Sample gladly sent on request.
