pounds per acre and as late as July.

SOYBEANS are annual legumes widely adapted to 
various soils and not difficult to grow, are excel- 
lent as a summer catch crop and splendid soil 
builders. Soybean hay is one of the best rough- 
ages, and when mixed with corn they make 
splendid ensilage. When harvested for seed, 
they should not be cut until pods are fully ma- 
tured and the beans hard. They may be har- 
vested by binder or combine. Sow 25 to 100 
pounds per acre depending on the size of seed, 
method of seeding, use of crop, and soil condi- 
tions. Soil should be kept mellow by frequent

crop to sow in the fall as soon as the crops have 
been harvested. It has also been sown in the 
spring. Vetch is a legume plant like alfalfa and 
peas. It produces hay of high protein value and 
is also a good soilage crop; also introduces 
nitrogen into the soil the same as alfalfa and 
clovers.

FLAX may be grown with good success 
in the West. It matures quickly and 
may be planted as late as the middle 
of June and make a matured crop. 
Takes very little fertility and moisture 
from the soil and yields 10 to 20 bushels 
per acre. May be used with success 
as a nurse crop for clovers and grasses, 
and is the most desirable crop to follow on native 
sod. Formaldehyde will destroy wilt germs and 
the seed should be treated before planting.
