NICHOLSON’S SOY BEANS 
INOCULATE SOY BEANS WITH NITRAGIN “S” 
Soy Beans can be sold to oil mills for crushing purposes, making an excellent cash crop. 
The early varieties of Yellow Soy Beans, such as Macoupin and Arksoy, will prove well 
adapted to growing in the Southwest. Results obtained in Texas were much more satis- 
factory than those of other varieties of oil type beans. We recommend these two kinds as 
being worthy of a trial. 
Soy Beans of all varieties make a wonderful hay crop, but we recommend the Laredo 
and Red Tanner when planted for hay purposes. Give Soy Beans a trial this year. (See 
garden seed section for edible Soy Beans.)

INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “C” 
Vetch is another splendid forage plant. It is 
very hardy, is valuable as a winter cover crop 
to prevent leaching and for forage and turn 
under purposes. This annual legume has been 
growing greatly in favor with the farmers and 
dairymen of the South. We strongly recommend 
bebe planting of this wonderful soil-building 
plant. 
HAIRY WINTER VETCH (Vicia Villosa). This 
most popular variety is partly misnamed, as a 
large portion of the plants produced are smooth 
instead of hairy. May be sown either in spring 
or fall. When sown in spring it is ready to be 
cut by July. Sow 50 to 60 pounds of Vetch with 
the same amount of oats, using the oats to sup- 
port the Vetch. Lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 65c, postpaid.
