VEGETABLE SOY BEAN 
5. MENDOTA. (83 days.) Vegetable soy 
beans differ from the field varieties just like 
Sweet torn differs from field corn. They are 
more tender, cook quicker and have a finer tex-

Wisconsin College of Agriculture. It is without 
exception the finest of the vegetable type soy 
beans. The bean is medium in size, cream color 
without the unsightly black eye and just the 
right size for canning and freezing. It is an
