DO SOY BEANS MAKE HAY? 
Does the picture below answer the question? 
Soy Beans used to be talked about as an important soiling 
crop. That was before their feeding value was so clearly 
demonstrated—before it was realized that they can be de¬ 
pended upon when drought reduces normal hay yields. If you 
haven’t thought of Soy Beans seriously, consider these facts: 
The Soy Bean is a useful hay producer. Live stock like it. 
Horses, sheep and hogs will thrive on it. Either as leguminous 
roughage or (as in the case of hogs, particularly) as bean meal. 
For dairy cows, the hay containing beans has been proved the 
equivalent of alfalfa in milk production. And it costs less. It 
is the richest protein grain. The richest nitrogen roughage. 
Is a leguminous soil builder if inoculated. Fits well in rotations. 
Soy Beans will grow well on a wide range of soils, if you 
tollow a few simple rules. Don’t plant too early—wait till 
after corn planting time. Don’t drill too deep. Be sure to 
inoculate your seed. If you don’t, it will take value out of your 
soil instead of putting nitrogen into it. If your soil is sour, 
lime before planting. 
Farmers use several methods for mixed ensilage. Some plant 
the Soy Beans with their corn. Others plant the two crops in 
separate fields and mix as they are put into the silo. We know 
of some cases where Soy Beans are being used as soil builders 
alone—they were planted on poor land and the entire crop 
plowed under. 
“I think the Wilson Black 
Soy Beans are just fine and 
will give them the preference 
of other varieties. I cut two 
crops last season off of one 
sowing and they sure make 
fine feed. I will be in the 
market for another supply in 
the spring.”—/. H. Parker.

“We got good results from 
your Wilson Soy Beans. I 
like them on account of the 
finer stalks. Stock eats stem 
and all. The other kinds that 
I have tried grow so big a 
stem and the stock won’t eat 
them.” — Albert Showalter. 
Leroy, W. Va. 
“We had very good success 
with Wilson Black Soy Beans 
and like them. They are won¬ 
derful forage.”— W. /. Stur¬ 
geon, Kittanning, Pa.

“Wilson Black Soy Beans are 
superior to any other variety 
and I have tried several. They 
may not make the biggest 
growth but make the finest 
quality of hay.”— Chas. D. 
Wilson, Liotiville, Pa. 
“We have found the Funk 
‘G 218’ Hybrid Corn stands 
up better in windstorms. Be¬ 
cause we use all our corn 
for silage, we think we get 
more corn off the acre of the 
hybrid corn. The roots go 
deeper into the ground, thus 
making it much stronger. 
We had the two types of 
corn planted side by side on a 
14-acre field, and therefore, 
we were able to judge fairly 
as to which served our needs 
better.”— Frank E. Cooper, 
Iselin, N. J.
