A Fine Cash Crop 
Soybeans are taking their place as one of the 
unportant grain crops. They are bought and 
sold like other grains in many markets. There 
is no longer much question as to a market for 
your crop. -You can cash in on them like wheat 
or corn if you do not wish to use.them on the 
farm. 
Many farmers do not harvest for beans but rather prefer 
to take the crop in the form of hay. They produce heavy 
yields and the hay is of high value being practically equal 
to Alfalfa in feeding value. No need to be without plenty 
of rich hay if your clover or alfalfa fails. Sow soybeans. 
They stand heat and drought and deliver the goods. 
Good Profit in Beans 
Soybeans are widely used instead of small grain’ crops 
and are generally found more profitable yielding up to 25 
to 30 bushel per acre. On account of their heavy growth 
they are not suitable as a nurse crop for grass or clover 
seedings. Soybeans are legumes. They gather nitrogen 
from the air for their growth. They have a dense root 
system and make soils mellow. : 
The seed we have is cleaned and much more satisfactory 
and economical than stock containing a lot of split beans.

How to Handle Soy Beans

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 formed, but be-
