A Fine Cash Crop 
Soybeans are taking their place as one of the 
important 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 havea. 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 
Plant when weather and soil is warm, corn planting time or later. 
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- 
fore leaves fall. Harvest for seed when beans are practically ripe. 
Inoculate Your Seed 
Inoculate Soybean and Cowpea seed. That helps to secure a more 
vigorous growth, heavier yields and higher yalue. Cost is low. Easy 
to apply. Full directions furnished,

RICHLAND 
SOY BEANS 
A tremendously popular early maturing soy bean. 
Has the strongest stems and is the most lodge resist- 
ant of all commercial varieties. Adapted to the rich- 
est soils, Not quite as early as the Earlyana described 
on page 15 but 5 days earlier than Mukden and about 
10 days earlier than Illini or Dunfield. A heavy yielder 

‘of beans making 30 bushel per acre in Central lowa 
over a 4 year testing period. These beans have a high 
oil ‘content. 
The growth of the stems or straw is a little shorter 
than the average, especially on thin land. Average 
height in northern and central Iowa about 35 inches. 
Not as good for hay but a profitable producer of a 
quality bean crop. Adapted to southern Minnesota, 
Wisconsin and northern and central Iowa for normal 
planting dates and fine for late planting in areas fur- 
ther south. 
Often times ‘weather and other conditions require 
late planting and it is then best to choose one of early 
maturity. It does not pay to select too late a variety 
further north and risk spoiled beans when heavy yield- 
ing varieties like Richlands and Earlyanas can increase 
your profits. The extra yields much more than pay 
the additional cost of starting a better moneymaking 
variety. Have your own seed for a bigger acreage 
next year and supply your neighbors with seed. See
