LEGUME CROPS 

SOY BEANS 
SOY BEANS (White or Yellow Biloxi). 
(150 to 165 days). Has the good qualities 
of the chocolate Biloxi but heavier grain 
and hay yielder. ‘The nearest non-shattering 
white bean. One of the best for crushing, 
being very high in protein and oil contents. 
In drills it requires three pecks per acre, in 
38-inch rows. Planted in corn a bushel will 
plant six to seven acres. Broadcast for hay, 
one to one and one-half bushels per acre. 
SOY BEANS (Macoupin). (110 to 115 days) 
The earliest maturing yellow bean ever to 
be grown in the South. In Arkansas last 
year the harvest started the fourth week in 
August, and was completed in early Septem- 
ber. This is an ideal variety to plant when 
you want to follow up with winter grain 
crops on the same land. The non-shattering 
quality of this bean is equal to any of our 
early yellow Soy Beans, and the oil content 
higher. 
SOY BEANS (Laredo). (120 to 130 days). 
One of the best hay varieties, producing hay 
of fine quality—can be planted earlier than 
any other Soy Bean. Seeds small and black. 
When planting for seed one bushel of La- 
redos plant three acres in 38-inch rows. 
When planting for hay, three to five pecks 
per acre should be planted broadcast, de- 
pending on the richness of the soil.

SEEDSMAN AND FLORIST, FORT SMITH, ARKANSAS 

SOY BEANS (Arksoy). (135 days). The 
best medium-early variety for crushing pur- 
poses, with a very high oil content. A heavy 
producer. Erect in growth, making them 
easy to combine. A good hay bean and a 
fine soil builder. Color yellow. 
MUNG BEANS. Grow on upright bushes 
from 2 to 4 feet high and mature in 70 to 
90 days. They have very heavy foliage, 
fine leaves and finer stems than any soy 
beans. The hay cures qvickly and may be 
threshed in 2 to 4 days after cutting, and 
it retains all the leaves. The hay is regard- 
ed as equal to alfalfa and readily eaten by 
all livestock. Harvest when majority of 
pods turn black. Mung beans are a great 
soil builder when properly inoculated. Sow 
5 lbs. per acre in drills. 
VETCH, HAIRY OR WINTER. A Nitro- 
gen gatherer and soil improver. One of 
our best winter legumes and green manure 
crops. So resistant to cold, adapted to a 
wide range of soils and can be made to 
reseed itself. For grazing or cover crops 
sow 10 to 20 pounds per acre with any of 
the fall grains. For soil improvement and 
when seeded alone sow 20 to 25 pounds per 
acre. For spring planting in combination 
with oats, sow at the rate of 10 pounds per 
acre. 
SEED PEANUTS 
CULTURE. Plant in May or early in June 
in rows 38% feet apart, dropping two ker- 
nels to the hill, hills about one foot apart. 
Cover one to two inches deep. 25 to 30 lbs. 
of unhulled peanuts will plant an acre. 
Crack or break the hull before planting. 
SPANISH PEANUTS. While not as large 
as other varieties they will produce more 
peanuts and hay than any other variety and 
are the most commonly grown. 
TENNESSEE RED PEANUTS. Similar to 
Spanish in the way the nuts are closely 
packed in the pod, but the pods are longer, 
usually containing 8 nuts and sometimes 
four; a very productive variety. 
COW PEAS 
WHIPPOORWILL. More largely grown 
than any other Cow Pea, probably because 
of its long vines, usually about six feet. 
LARGE BLACK EYE. The Black Eye 
Stock Peas commonly grown in this vicin- 
ity are used mostly for cooking. 
LADY PEAS. A fine small, white table 
pea of excellent flavor. Much in demand. 
WHITE SUGAR CROWDER. An early- 
maturing table pea of excellent flavor. Me- 
dium size white pea with pronounced flat- 
tened end. Their rich sugar flavor makes 
them a great favorite. 
BROWN SUGAR CROWDER. Considered 
by many to be the best eating table pea.
