SOY BEANS--A Good Hay Cro 
The Soybean market in Chicago has advanced more than ~ 
probably any other farm crop, and with the war continuing 
this should be a most profitable crop to grow. ; 
For late planting we suggest the Virginia Brown, Wilson 
Black, Pocahontas and Wood’s Early Yellow. These varie- 
ties mature in about 125 days and are our best hay varie- 
ties. All other varieties we suggest only planting for turn- 
ing under for soiling purposes. ; 
Soybeans are easy to grow and harvest on practically all 
soils with little or no fertilizer. They stand drought and 
longer wet seasons than many crops. They are less suscep- — 
tible to frost than cowpeas or corn, and a surer crop. They — 
are profitable not only for the large yield of beans, but also 
the forage and hog feed left after harvest, and the abund-— 
ance of root nodules which enrich the soil with nitrogen. 
Inoculate and plant 30 to 40 Ibs. per acre 14% inches deep in 
cultivated rows 24 to 36 inches apart. Broadcast twice this — 
quantity. If a crust forms before they come up break it~ 
with a harrow. : 
2 W ? 130 days. The ideal soybean 
Har ly ood Ss Yellow for all purposes in the Southern ~— 
Piedmont,, or for early beans or hogging down further south. 
Matures September 20th, in time to plant fall grain. Every- 
one who grows Wood’s Yellow should plant part of their crop 
in Barly Wood’s Yellow as it is 20 days earlier, yielding about’ ~ 
the same. It is extremely prolific, outyielding other beans of — 
the same maturity. Vigorous growth. Medium tall, strong up- ~ 
right stalks. Storm and shatter proof. Hasily combined. 
Yellow oval, mecium large seed with 22% oil. Ideal for: oil 


L. C; Davis, King William Co.,_Va.: “The state inspectors 
county agent and farmers say my field of Early Wood’s Yellow . 
is the best soybean for either beans, hay or hogs. It yields a ~ 
third to twice as much as any other soybean. Despite a bad 
season it grew so fast it crowded out crab grass which destroyed 
my Tokios. Its vines are completely filled with pods. It is ideal 
to combine as all pods ripened and leaves fell at one time. 
Not one bean has popped out.” 
130 Days. Small brownish yellow seed. Produces 
Clemson a maximum yield of fine quality hay or silage, 
hog feed and green manure per acre. More seed and 50% more 
hay than Otootan. It is a heavy bean producer but is not 
shatterproof. ‘It makes far more hay or beans than anything 
I ever saw—2,000 bushels from 75 acres.’’—E. W. Jones, Madi- 
son, Ala, 



SESBANIA 
Excellent for quail, duck marshes, and soil improving. It pro- 
duced an abundance of seed in the Georgia 5-year test, 1,166 lbs. 
per acre in one test. GAME BIRDS are attracted from a dis- 
tance by the seed, which remains on the ground all winter with- 
out decaying. It makes a tall, upright growth with long, slender 
leaves, furnishing good bird cover. Every farmer who likes bird 
hunting and every game preserve should plant it, preferably in 
rich bottoms. Broadcast 25 lbs. per acre from April to July. Does 
well on any soil, wet or dry. Flant only scarified seed. Ours 
is of the highest quality and scarified. Be sure to inoculate. 
SOIL IMPROVING. It produces an immense amount of humus 
rich in nitrogen for building up waste land. Sown at the last 
cultivation of corn, cotton, ete., it grows 6 to 7 feet tall in § 
to 10 weeks. Roots have heavy nodule formations. -Stalks decay 
readily, Popular with truck growers. 
PEARL OR CATTAIL MILLET 
Grows 10 to 12 feet tall. or greatest amount of nutritious 
green feed or hay cut at 3 to 4 feet. Stools out luxuriantly; 
gives 3 or 4 cuttings a season, growing till frost. It does well 
even on poor land and in dry seasons. All stock eat it greedily 
and flourish on it. Plant 8 lbs. per acre in 3-foot Grills when land 
is warm, near the feeding lot and cut some daily. 
WOOD’S QUAIL PLANTING MIXTURE 
Plant it to produce permanent year round 
feed for ;partridges, wild turkeys, pheas- 
ants, doves, etc. Also to cut down the feed 
bill of domestic fowls. For quail plant in 
long strips next to cover (to attract and 
multiply coveys); for turkeys and pheas- 
ants larger strips or patches; for doves, one 
to two-acre plots. The mixture includes 
practically .all cultivated crops relished by 
game birds fer quick growth and to keep 
them in hlamp, vigorous condition. Com- 
posed of sesbania, bene, Florida beggarweed, 
brown top and Tennessee millet, alyce cloyv- 
er, sericea and Korean lespedezas, cowpeas, 
Laredo soybeans, shallu, kaffir corn, sudan ‘grass, sorghum and 
buckwheat. Sow 15 lbs. per acre in cultivated row’s, or 30 lbs. 
broaceast after the ground warms in early summer. Apply 300 
Ibs. per acre of WOOD’S STANDARD 4-12-24 FERTILIZER, 

BROWN TOP MILLET 
SEED RELISHED BY QUAIL AND TURKEYS 
Excellent bird cover. Will draw doves for many miles. Similar 
to Tennessee millet, but is taller, has larger heads, and produces 
more ‘seed, hay and grazing. Can be grazed constantly in dry 
summers, starting when 3 or 4 ihches tall, one plant stooling 
out about 30 stems and is relished by poultry and all livestock. —_ 
Furnishes more hay than Sudan grass, equal to timothy in — 
feeding value, allows several cuttings, yielding 5 or 6 tons per 
acre. Broadcast 20 lbs. per acre from April to July. i

Buckwheat for Feeding 



uses, buckwheat middlings is much sought by dairymen 
because of its high content of protein, and it is more profit- 
able to grind the buckwheat and use the middlings for fe cd: 
ing milk cattle than to use the whole grain for poultry 
feeding. “oe 
Buckwheat should be planted during June and July. M 
tures in about ten weeks. Broadcast 50 lbs. per acre.
