SOY BEANS IN SILAGE 
Soy Beans are frequently planted with silo corn. Most experiments have shown 
it economical to grow the two in separate fields and mix them in the silo on the 
basis of three or four loads of corn to one of beans. The increase in the protein 
would be very helpful for your stock and would reduce the necessity of feeding 
quite as much high-protein feed.

cow PEAS 
Fine for the South. Grown but little in Pennsylvania. Often 
succeed on ground too poor for soy beans and other soil¬ 
ing or cover crops. Cow Pea hay has about the same value 
as Soy Bean hay. 
Please don!t confuse Cow Peas with Canada Peas listed 
on page 30. They are entirely different. Cow Peas dare not 
be planted early. Canada Peas are planted very early! 
Handle Cow Peas about like soy beans. Inoculate the 
seed of both. Both are fine soil-enriching legumes when 
properly inoculated. Cow Peas don’t stand up so well. 
But for pasturing, hogging down, or turning under, this 
trait doesn’t matter. Plant 1^ inches deep. 
The "New Era’’ variety has more erect habits than other 
sorts. Mows easily. Vines are fine, with many branches. 
Makes good hay. . . . The "Whippoorwill" is a good, gen¬ 
eral-purpose variety. Vigorous grower. Yields well both 
of hay and grain. 
For hay or green feed, sow 3 pecks Golden Millet with 
1 bushel Cow Peas per acre. Cut when Millet is in bloom 
regardless of maturity of Cow Peas at the time.
