Here is the crop that is spreading fast 
in Eastern agriculture. It fits well into 
the farm feed program. An easy crop to 
grow. Not hard on the land when the 
seed is properly inoculated. 
Soy bean hay has been shown equal 
to clover or alfalfa hay in feed value 
when cut at the proper time. The beans 
have a high protein content-—up to 36 
per cent. The meal makes an excellent 
base for mash. Soy beans may also be 
fed as pasture or used in with corn 
silage. Combined with oats, sudan 
grass, millet or sorghum—offers a wide 
variety of nutritious feeds. 
soy beans will grow on most any 
type of soil. It is important to inoculate 
the seed. Properly inoculated beans on 
poor lands will build a high nitrogen 
content into the soil for following crop. 
If the soil is sour, lime should be ap- 
plied to get best crop results. 
Caution: If you don't inoculate soy 
bean seed the crop will take more out 
of your land than it can put back in. 
Don't plant soy beans too early. Wait 
for warm soil. Thus avoid poor stands 
and weed trouble. 
Order your soy beans and inoculant 
to come right along with your other 
seeds. Be ready at the right time.

‘“\WILSON BLACK” type soy beans. 
Here is the most popular soy bean of 
the East for hay purposes. Early enough 
to mature the beans in lower Pennsyl- 
vania, Ohio, New Jersey and to the 
south; has produced up to around 30 
bushels per acre in good seasons. 
Makes a great growth of slender stems, 
sometimes five feet on good ground. 
Three to four feet even on poorer soil. 
Often yields two to four tons of high 
protein hay per acre. Its rich growth 
makes it an excellent pasture variety. 
Some folks use it to plant in with their 
corn. The nitrogen produced by inocu- 
lated soy bean seed helps the corn 
crop, and the resulting ensilage is high 
in feeding value. 115-day maturity. 
‘““LINCOLN’’ soy beans. A soy bean 
worthy of your attention. One writer 
calls the “Lincoln” the most outstanding 
of all varieties yet introduced. Was de- 
veloped in Illinois. For the past seven 
years has been through a vast proving 
period—throughout the soy bean belt. 
Extending through Ohio, west into a 
half dozen states. Yield tests there show 
“Lincoln” ahead by 20 per cent—over 
other standard mid-season varieties. 
An outstanding quality of “Lincoln” 
is the manner in which it stands up. 
Produced better quality seed. Matured 
along with Illini and Dunfield, yet 
averaged 8 per cent more oil with a 
higher iodine number. In some regional 
tests, “Lincoln” led by nearly 6 bushels 
per acre. Contained more oil than 
several competing strains. 
Here is a chance to cut production 
costs by 25 per cent—more yield on 
same acreage. “Lincoln” is apparently 
a coming type for bean production. 
““CHIEF’’ soy beans. An excellent 
variety with which to produce beans 
where the season permits. Takes around 
120 days. Heavy yielder. Stiff straw. 
Used in ensilage. Stands well until cut 
or combined. Beans do not shatter easy 
—they are well enclosed in the pods.
