A Big Money Crop 
Here is another excellent crop to use on land 
thrown out of corn production. Can be used as 
a fertilizing crop of great value when crop is 
plowed under. 
It is truly amazing how soy beans have 
sw'ept the country. Comparatively a few years 
ago they were an experiment. Now you see them every¬ 
where. The farmer who loses out on a crop of clover no 
longer does without hay. He plants Soy Beans and harvests 
a heavy crop of fine hay in the fall. If small grain doesn’t 
paj'^ him he plants soy beans for a seed crop and harvests 
20 to 30 bushels of beans per acre. In our part of Iowa 
farmers plant soy bean’s after the small grain is off and take 
another hay crop or plow under the stand for soil building. 
It’s no wonder the crop is popular. 
Excellent Values 
Our soybean seed is cleaned graded stock. You will find 
it superior to stock containing a considerable portion of 
split beans and other impurities. On the basis of quality 
we are sure you will find our seed an economical and sound 
investment. A low price in itself does not make a bargain. 
It’s the result you can get from the seed that make the 
real value. Our guarantee (page 6) assures you of a satis¬ 
factory shipment or money refunded. 
How to Handle Soy Beans 
Plant when weather and soil is warna, corn planting tinie or later. 
Prepare a fine clean seed bed. For hay broadcast or drill in close 
rows 1% to 2 bushels per acre. For seed in 18 to 20 inches apart 30 
to 40 lbs. per acre. Cultivate with a harrow while beans are small 
and dry. Cut for hay when beans are fairly well forined, but be- , 
fore leaves fall. Harvest for seed when beans are practically ripe. 
Inoculate Your Seed 
Inoculate Soybean and Cowpea seed. That helps to 
secure a more vigorous growth, heavier yields and higher 
value. Cost is low. Easy to apply. Full directions fur¬ 
nished.

COWPEA S 
This is a money making legume. A soil building and 
hay crop that is widely used. 
Quick maturing crop. Requires more warmth than 
Soy Beans. Grow on poor soils. Very good for sandy 
or light loam. Makes rich feed. Also good soil builders. 
All our seed stock is good. See quotations page 41. 
Write for prices on large amounts. State quantity 
desired. Can ship southern orders from St. Louis. 
Varieties 
-* ' 
Whippoorwffl. Medium early in maturity, about 80 
days. This is the most popular of all cowpea varieties 
and we have a big demand for them. They grow quite 
erect, which is a desirable characteristic and, na doubt, 
one of the reasons for its popularity. They are heavy 
producers and make a profitable kind to use. Seed is 
speckled brown in color. We recommend it highly. 
New Era. If you wish the earliest of all varieties 
select this one. Good for northern states or where late 
planting is necessary. May be planted after small grain 
for plowing under. Good soil builder. Smaller seeded 
than Whippoorwill. Use 1J4 bu. per acre for broadcast 
seeding. 
Mixed Cowpeas. Somewhat cheaper than unmixed yet 
many prefer a mixture. Fine for pasture, hay or soil 
• building. Very desirable unless pure seed crop is de¬ 
sired. All recleaned stock. We have a big call for 
mixed cowpeas.
