MANCHU or WILSON SOY BEANS 
FOR SILAGE—OR EMERGENCY HAY CROP 
Soy Beans are as high in protein and food value as clover or alfalfa. Corn silage alone is 
only 13% protein. You can nearly double the protein content of your silage by planting corn 
and soy beans together. This combination gives more dry tonnage than corn alone. 
METHODS OF PLANTING 
Plant corn so as to have the stalks 9-12 inches apart and at least 3 soy bean plants between 
each stalk. This takes 6-8 quarts of corn and 10 to 12 quarts of soy beans to the acre. We have 
experienced no difficulty in growing or harvesting. On long rows when the beans and corn are 
planted in the same box the beans have the tendency to work to the bottom and plant out first. 
This may be overcome by using a separate box, or by always putting the corn in first, then adding 
the soy beans. They will mix sufficiently. Refill at least every 40 rods. Plant very shallow. Some- 
times the soy beans are sowed with the fertilizer but this may burn them. They should be in- 
noculated. We recommend the Manchu or Wilson varieties to plant in your corn or alone for hay. 
Put some in this year and watch your cows milk. Soy beans for hay should be sowed at rate of 
two bushels per acre. This year growers reported bigger corn where soy beans were used than 
where corn was planted alone. We believe the explanation is that the corn used some of the 
nitrogen gathered by the beans.

SENECA SOY BEANS 
Here is the improved yellow variety of soy beans which is proving to be so popular for grain 
in New York State. The beans mature a little later than Cayugas, grow much taller and yield 
well. One advantage they have over other varieties is that the beans are higher up on the plants

NEW HYBRID HUSKING CORN 
To meet the demand for a heavy yielding early maturing variety of husking corn—adapted 
to New York State and sections with short growing season, the College of Agriculture has devel- 
oped HYBRID CORN 34-53. This matures about the same as early Cornell No. 11 but produces 
more uniform ears and heavier yields. 
Price—$7.50 per bu., 1 pk., $2.00; f. o. b., Cortland, N. Y. 
CORNELL NO. 11 
This is the ideal husking corn for most of New York State. For elevation above 1,000 feet 
this makes a wonderful silage corn. Plant thin and use liberal fertilization. A yellow dent va- 
riety originated by our State College. 
Price—$4.25 per bu. 56 Ibs., 3 bu. $2.25, f. 0. b., Cortland, N. Y.
