OLDS’ SOY BEANS 
(Sow 120 pounds to an acre.) 
WHY GROW SOY BEANS? 
First. They yield large amounts of high protein.forage, rich in feeding value. 
They not only make splendid hay, but are wonderful for silage, grown with corn. 
Second, They contain as much fertility per acre as eight loads of stable manure. 
Third. The mature beans ground into meal make wonderful high protein dairy feed. 
Fourth. Soy beans are more resistant to frost than corn and they also stand 
hot weather. 
Fifth. They are adapted to nearly all soils and are especially valuable on sandy 
Soils. 
Sixth. They are the only legume crop that will grow on acid soils and build 
up, the land. ; 
Seventh. They make a wonderful emergency crop when clover fails or when 
other crops are washed out or fail for any reason, as they can be put in late. 
Bighth. With the establishment of soy bean processing plants in territories where 
soy beans grow, it gives the farmer an additional cash crop. ; 
Ninth. Grain will not deteriorate in value when the crop stands a considerable 
time after maturity. This helps to distribute the labor load during harvest time. 
HOW TO PUT IN SOY BEANS 
While soy beans in Wisconsin are mostly put in for a hay crop, many farmers 
are planting with corn for silage or early kinds as a cash crop. Mix the beans with 
the corn, planting both at the same time, using fully as many beans as kernels of 
corn, or better yet, as many pounds of beans as there are pounds of corn. Where 
the beans are sown alone by drill or seeder, which is the way they are largely put 
in, use two bushels of seed per acre but then even a little more than that is better. 
On old soils rowing and cultivating will make friends for the crop, putting in. either 
with corn planter or with drill with part of the spouts closed. Handled this way 
there will be a great saving in the cost of the seed as one bushel per acre is 
enough instead of two bushels, On new soils the solid planting is all right but on

A new stiff stem yellow variety introduced by the University of 
Iowa, which will mature in about 105 growing days for seed produc- 
tion. It looks promising although it does not seem quite as early as 
the Manchu No. 3. Its stiff growing habits make it a desirable 
variety for silage. The yield of beans is probably a little less than 
Manchu No. 3 and the hay yields about the same. Prices, by freight:
