Varieties of SOY BEANS 
Soy Beans for Ensilage 
For this, grow Soy Beans either 
in rows with the corn or separate- 
ly as for hay and mixed with corn. 
Figure on about one load of Soy 
Beans to three loads of corn, when 
run through the cutter into the silo. 
They may be allowed to fully ma- 
ture, even dry, before they are cut 
if used in this way. 
For Hogging Down 
In many northern states, Soy 
Beans are being grown more and 
more with corn for hogging or 
sheeping down. For this purpose, 
they may be either broadcast in 
the corn at time of last cultivation 
or sown with corn the same as for 
ensilage. 
As a Catch Crop 
Soy Beans are ideal as a catch 
crop—is often called the “Renters 
Clover,” because it is the most val- 
uable legume maturing in a single 
season. Can be put on the land 
when clover fails and will fill the 
purpose of the clover in the rota- 
tion. 
VARIETIES of 
SOY BEANS 
Manchu or Midwest. Yellow. Ma- 
tures in about 110 days and is the 
most popular early variety. Plants 
erect and bushy, producing large 
crops of dry forage and seed. Seed 
light yellow with a black sear. 
Highly recommended. 

Matures in 
Coarse, tall and 
Brown. 
Virginia. 
about 125 days. 
slender, with a tendency to vine if 
sown with corn. Does well on poor 
ground. A good variety for hay or 
ensilage. Seed brown. 
Wilson. Black. Commonly called 
“Black Wilson” because the seeds 
are pure black. Matures in about 
120 days. Plants tall and slender, 
ideally suited for hay and widely 
grown for that purpose; also for 
ensilage, with corn, in the southern 
and eastern sections of the corn 
belt. 
Illini. Yellow. Matures in about 
105 days. Similar to Manchu for 
hay purposes. From the standpoint 
of a “combination hay and seed 
bean” it has an advantage over the 
Manchu.
