SOY OR SOJA BEANS — Continued 
Easy Cook 
Hollybrook Early 
Makes a quicker growth and 
matures its crop about two 
weeks earlier than the Mam¬ 
moth Yellow and makes a 
large yield, both of forage 
and pods. It is a sure cropper 
and a vigorous, quick grower, 
with an abundance of large 
leaves. The pods set thickly 
on stems and branches. If 
planted thickly it makes fine 
ensilage, although not as heavy a yielder of hay as some of the 
later kinds. It has special value where an early crop of hay or 
beans is required. By mail postpaid, 14 peck 70c: peck $i.l0; 
V 2 bushel $1.80; bushel $ 3 . 20 . 
Not postpaid, y 2 peck 45c; peck 65c; y 2 bus. $1.05; bushel $1.85, 
Manchu (Maturity 105 days) —This variety is the most popu¬ 
lar throughout the corn belt. In the Bast and South¬ 
ern States are fine for hogging down, and also for late planting. 
Very prolific and at maturity holds the seed well. By mail post¬ 
paid, y 2 peck 70c; peck $1.15; y 2 bushel $1.90; bushel $3.35. 
Not postpaid, y 2 peck 45o; peck 70c; y 2 bus. $1.15; bushel $2.00. 
(Maturity 130 days) —An edible soybean that can 
be cooked in half the time of other varieties. Used 
for human consumption in the green stage, as well as dried 
beans. Easy Cooks are in big demand among sanatoriums for 
grinding into flour for diabetic cases. A heavy yielder, similar 
in size to Mammoth Yellow, but lighter in color. This is an ex¬ 
cellent cash crop to grow. By mail postpaid, y 2 peck, 85c; peck 
$1.40; y 2 bushel $2.45; bushel $4.45. 
Not postpaid, y 2 peck 60c; peck 95c; y 2 bus. $1.70; bushel $3.10. 
hardly shatter at all; makes an 
Brown Biloxi (Maturity 165 
days) —An up¬ 
right variety, growing 4 to 5 
feet high, covered with a 
dense mass of foliage that 
does not shed easily. A heavy’ 
yielder of beans; the oil and 
protein contents are high; a 
fine bean for hogging down, 
for planting with corn or sor¬ 
ghum, and for oil. The pods 
are less liable to pop than 
most varieties; in fact, they 
unusually luxuriant growth. 
Recommended for sections with long growing season. By mail 
postpaid, 14 peck 70c; peck $1.10; y 2 bushel $1.85; bushel $3,30. 
Not postpaid, y 2 peck 45c; peck 65c; y 2 bus. $1.10; bushel $ 1 . 95 . 
Haberlandt (Maturity 125 days) —A heavy yielder of beans and 
. on excellent pasture variety. The plants are stout, 
bushy and erect, averaging in height about 30 inches, with an 
abundance of foliage that makes splendid hay. The stems are 
not coarse and many of the pods carry three beans each

FACTS ABOUT 
FEEDING VALUE —Soy bean hay contains a high per cent of 
protein, is superior to cowpeas in feeding value, and as a milk and 
butter producer is equal to alfalfa and superior to cotton seed meal. 
The beans and bean meal contain about 35 per cent of digestible 
protein and stock eat them with relish and thrive on them. Hogs 
fed on soy beans in combination with corn fatten much more eco¬ 
nomically than on corn alone; a bushel of soy beans is worth at 
least double as much for feed as a bushel of corn. They make an 
excellent winter feed for young cattle, sheep and horses when fed 
with roughage. 
CULTURE —Soy beans may be planted either broadcast or in 
drills. Usually a better crop is had when planted in drills and cul¬ 
tivated, and few crops leave the land cleaner and in better condi¬ 
tion. They grow equally well on light and heavy soils, but on heavy 
soils they should not be planted more than 1 to IV 2 inches deep 
except in dry seasons. On light sandy soils plant deeper, but not 
more than 2 to 3 inches deep. When sown broadcast sow IY 2 to 2 
bushels to the acre; in drills about a peck to the acre. Plant in 
April, May or June. 
CARE —If a crust forms on the land before the soy beans come 
up, break it up with a harrow. This will prevent what is com¬ 
monly called “breaking their necks.” 
SOY BEANS 
SOWING WITH OTHER CROPS— Soy beans can be grown with 
other crops, yielding a larger crop and a better balanced ration. 
Soy beans and cowpeas make a good combination, and the yield is 
nearly always greater than of either crop alone. Plant V 2 bushel 
soy beans to 1 bushel cowpeas to the acre. Soy beans and corn is 
a well-recommended combination, the beans being planted in the 
hill, or in alternate rows, depending on the proportions wanted in 
the feed. 
Sorghum and a late soy bean make a good combination, provided 
the sorghum is not planted too thickly. Sudan grass and soy beans 
give a better balanced feed than Sudan grass alone, as its protein 
content is low, while that of soy beans is high. 
SOY BEANS IN ENSILAGE CORN —In a six-year test at Cor¬ 
nell, soy beans planted in the rows with ensilage corn increased 
the total yield of silage 20% and increased 
the protein of silage 60%, replacing expen¬ 
sive concentrate feeds. Wood’s Wilson soy 
beans are the recommended variety for 
states north of Virginia. Wood’s Yellow and 
Tokio for Virginia and Carolinas; Biloxi and 
Otootan for farther south.

BUCKWHEAT 
The poor land crop, preferring light soils, but grows well on 
nearly all soils that are not too rich. No grain crop can be grown 
easier or in so short a time, only eight to ten weeks being neces¬ 
sary to make the crop. It is a good soil improver; a splendid sum¬ 
mer cover crop for orchards; bees that feed on buckwheat blooms 
give an increased production of honey; it is a most excellent late 
summer catch crop, requiring but little preparation; it is fine for 
smothering weeds on lands to be put into grass in the fall, and 
buckwheat flour makes the most delicious cakes. 
Defer sowing until eight or ten weeks before frost. Sow one 
bushel to the acre, either broadcast or with a grain drill. 
FAPANESE BUCKWHEAT. —The earliest, most prolific and larg¬ 
est grained of all buckwheats, and makes fine flour. By mail

NITRAGIN SEED INOCULATION 
CUT DOWN YOUR FERTILIZER BILLS 
GET YOUR NITROGEN FROM THE AIR 
Nitrogen is the most expensive ingredient 
in the fertilizers you buy, although it is 
plentiful in the air. When legume crops are 
inoculated this nitrogen is stored in nodules 
on the roots. 
All legumes—clovers, alfalfa, beans, peas, vetch, soybeans, cow¬ 
peas, peanuts, etc.—will yield far better crops if the seeds are in¬ 
oculated and will leave in the soil a heavy deposit of nitrogen for 
the benefit of succeeding crops. 
Be sure to state for what crop inoculation is wanted. 
CULTURE A —For Red, Mammoth or Sapling, Crimson and White 
Clovers. 
CULTURE B —For Alfalfa, Sweet and Bur Clovers.
