FIELD CORN—Continued 
West Branch. Harris Northern Grown Seed. 
SWEEPSTAKES, ur northern grown strain of this famous ensilage 
corn is earlier and produces a larger per cent of ears than ordinary 
Sweepstakes. On our own farm this corn produced twice as many 
tons per acre as two other varieties in the same field. The stalks grow 
10 to 12 feet high and are completely covered with leaves from near 
the ground to the top. 
The ears are 12 to 15 in. long and have 14 to 18 rows of deep kernels. 
The color is red tinged with yellow. This early stock matures perfectly 
for the silo by the middle of September when planted the last of 
May or first of June. 
Our Northern grown seed was all grown here in Monroe County 
from our own carefully bred stock seed, selected not only for earliness 
but for large size and trueness to type.

CORNELL NO. 11. We cannot supply any seed of this variety for 
1944. To growers who have been using it we recommend the new 
hybrids, Cornell 34-53 and Silobred described on page 43.

Protect Your Seed Corn from Crows 
and other Seed Pulling Birds! 
We have found that these birds will not bother 
corn treated with Stanley’s Crow Repellent. The 
small cost is many times repaid by the time and labor 
saved in not having to replant. Does not harm the 
seed and will not clog the planter.

HARRIS’ MAMMOTH YELLOW FLINT. The Best Flint 
Corn. We have 
grown and bred this fine corn here in the North for a good many years 
and consider it one of the best Flint or “State” corns. The ears grow 
very long, some measuring 13 inches and more, and are filled right out 
to the tips. They have eight rows of large broad kernels, of bright 
yellow color. The cob is small. The stalks grow about 6 to 8 feet tall, 
have numerous broad leaves and make excellent fodder. The ears are 
produced well above the ground, so the stalks can be readily cut with 
a binder. Considered a 90 day corn. 
For the Silo. This is a valuable ensilage corn for northern sections 
(even in Northern Maine) where dent varieties cannot be grown.

DAVIS’ IMPROVED EARLY HURON. Earliest Dent Corn. This 
is the earliest dent corn that we know and is a grand variety for New 
York and New England. The ears of medium size, mostly 16-rowed, 
with deep yellow kernels and small red cob. The stalks are not coarse 
and often 7 feet tall.

SOY BEANS 
Grow Soy Beans for High Value Feed and to:Enrich Your Land! 
Soy Beans should always be included in your rotation. 
They are not only valuable for stock feeding on account of the high 
protein content of the beans and plant, but being a legume they actually 
improve the soil by adding nitrogen thereto. This is true whether they 
are grown for feed and cut or plowed under as a cover crop. Cows give 
more milk and sheep fatten better on Soy Bean hay than other kinds. 
The vines can be cut and used as hay or they may be left until the beans 
are ripe and fed without threshing. They will often yield 3 to 4 tons of 
hay and 20 bushels or more of grain per acre. 
FOR SOY BEANS. More than with any other 
crop it is important that Soy Beans be inocu- 
lated with nitrogen fixing bacteria. Lack of 
proper inoculation may reduce the crop as much 
as 50%.-See page 86. 
SENECA. (New.) This yellow seeded type is the best variety that 
we offer for producing grain in New York State. It was 
developed by the N. Y. State College of Agriculture, and as a combina- 
tion grain and forage variety it has great merit. The yellow seed is 
the type desired for most purposes and the yield of grain is greater 
than other kinds in this section. Seneca is about a week later than 
Cayuga but can be depended on to produce seed in our climate if 
planted in May or early June. 
The plants are tall and make an abundant leafy growth so that it is 
also excellent for hay or ensilage. It makes ensilage of very high 
protein content. 4

MANCHU. Best for hay or cover crops. This variety is better 
suited to the northern states for hay and ensilage than 
for seed. The plants are 3 feet tall, upright, with few branches near 
the ground. The foliage is heavy, giving large yields of the finest hay. 
It is a week later than Seneca and cannot be depended on to always 
ripen seed in this climate. Its fine stems make hay of high quality. 
This variety is also the best for cover crops to be plowing under 
as its heavy growth of foliage adds a large amount of humus to the soil.

Cultural Directions 
For Grain drill in rows about 28 inches apart and cultivate two or 
three times; or sow with a grain drill in 7-inch rows and drag over with 
a rotary hoe when the beans are about 5 inches high. It is important to 
kill the weeds when the plants are still young. For seed it is better to cut 
with a grain binder when the leaves fall making the bundles small, 
although some farmers use a mower with swather attached to cutting bar. 
Harvesting with the combine has been found a very satisfactory meth- 
od of handling soy beans. The beans should be fully ripe and the leaves 
off the stalks for best results. Sow one bushel of seed per acre. 
For the Silo. Soy beans grown with corn make ensilage far superior to 
corn alone. It is recommended to use about 11 qts. of Soy Beans and 9 
qts. of corn per acre. Sow the corn and beans together keeping them well 
mixed in the planter box. They can be harvested with the corn. 
For Plowing Under. A crop of Soy beans plowed under in the fall 
adds a large amount of nitrogen and humus to the soil. Use 2 bushels of 
seed per acre in drills 7 inches apart. They should be plowed down just 
as the pods begin to form. 
For Hay. Soy beans make excellent hay. They should be sown in 
solid drills at the rate of about 2 bushels per acre, cut with a mower 
and handled like alfalfa. ;
