Leguminous Farm Seeds and Root Crops 
Soybeans 
In Place of Manure 
Grow Soil-improving Plants; plow or 
dig them under 
The added organic material will retain 
plant-food and hold moisture. Do not allow 
even the smallest area to remain idle, but 
harrow or rake under General Garden Fertil- 
izer, 1 ton per acre or 50 pounds to each 1000 
square feet, and sow one or more of the under- 
noted crops, appropriate to the season. It is 
desirable to sow combinations of them; when 
mixed together the stated quantities may be 
reduced in proportion.

Varieties marked * are legumes, and are of 
additional value because of the nitrates which are 
added to the soil by colonies of bacteria in nodules 
on the roots of leguminous plants. Use these, and 
you need not buy nitrogenous fertilizers. Treat 
seeds marked * with Nitragin before sowing to 
insure a sufficiency of these bacteria. 
COWPEAS 
For rmproving soils by plowing under; also 
valuable as hay. Sow 2 bus. per acre.

SOY BEANS 
The Crop of Many Uses 
Mammoth Yellow and Wilson are slow- 
growing, tall and bushy sorts which do not 
mature Beans in northern IJatitudes, but are 
the best to use for green cattle and hog feed, 
for silage or excellent hay; also for plowing 
under for soil-improvement. 
For these purposes, sow 3 to 4 pecks per 
acre in close rows, or 6 to 8 pecks if drilled 
solid or broadcast. When grown with corn, 
allow 1 peck with 15 pounds of corn to the 
acre. 
Cayuga grows quickly enough to mature its 
Beans in the North. They are excellent for 
mixing with corn and other materials for high 
protein dairy and stock feed. From these 
Beans, the valuable Soy-bean oil is expressed; 
they also supply the foods, plastics, paints, 
varnishes and soaps with which we are becom- 
Ing Increasingly familiar. For the production 
of Beans, use 2 to 3 pecks per acre, drilled into 
20 to 30-inch rows. The culture of Soybeans 
makes the land more productive for a suc- 
ceeding crop. 
Mammoth Yellow. Enormous plants. 
Ideal for green feed, silage or hay; and for 
plowing under. Yellow seed. 
Wilson. A _ black-seeded sort. 
somewhat smaller.

Early, but 

VETCHES OR TARES

ing live-stock, either green or as silage or hay.

Improvement. Usually grown with oats, 
wheat, or rye to keep them off the ground.

WHY INOCULATE? Seeds of all Iegumes 
will yield better results if inoculated with 
Nitragin, and, in addition, leave in the soil a 
heavy deposit of nitrogen which benefits all 
succeeding crops in the rotation. Plants pro- 
duced from imoculated seed will have more 
nodules on their roots. 
For all Legumes use NITRAGIN, nitrogen- 
fixing bacteria in jelly form. Distinct bacteria for 
every crop: Alfalfa or Clovers, except Lespedeza: 
to treat up to 1 bus. 50 cts., 2144 bus. $1. Vetches, 
Canada Field Peas or Lespedeza: up to 100 pounds 
50 cts. Cowpeas or Soybeans: up to 120 pounds 
30 cts. Garden Size: treats up to 24 pounds,.25 cts. 
State crop when ordering. 


ROOTS FOR STOCK 
We recommend Mangels, Carrots and 
Rutabagas to the cattle breeder, dairy farmer 
and poultry raiser. A palatable, easily 
stored, easily digested, and nutritious food 
is yielded in large quantities per acre. They 
stimulate the flow of milk of high grade; 
their cultivation ensures the thorough clean- 
ing of the land; and they may be stored into 
the winter in root-cellars or outdoor “‘pits” 
with but little trouble. 
MANGEL AND SUGAR BEET 
Sow in drills 30 inches apart; thin to 12 
inches. 6 to 8 Ibs. per acre in the spring. 
Mammoth Long Red. A giant among 
Mangels, and the variety most frequently 
grown. The roots are enormous, very 
uniform in shape, smooth and clean, with 
but small top growth. The skin is bright, 
rich red, and under favorable growing con- 
ditions the roots may reach a length of 
3 feet. 14Ib. 60 cts., Ib. $1.75, 10 Ibs. $16.
