HE Soy Bean was introduced into America over 100 
years ago but at first very little attention was given to it. 
In 1907 there were only 50,000 acres planted but since 
then the acreage has increased three hundred fold. No crop 
was ever used for so many purposes. 
Eastern farmers should increase their acreage of Soy Beans 
because: 
1. They may be sold as a cash crop or mixed with other grains raised on the 
farm to make a high protein dairy feed. 
2. They may be grown with corn to increase the feeding value. 
3. They may be used as an emergency hay crop. Soy Bean hay has a feeding 
value similar to alfalfa. 
4. They may be cut and fed as green roughage. 
5. They may be used for grass silage. 
6. They may be used to plow under for green manure. Being a legume, 
they are one of the best plants for soil-improvement. A two-ton crop of 
Soy Beans adds as much nitrogen to tbe soil as seven tons of manure. 
From hundreds of varieties that have been introduced from China, Korea 
and Japan, or developed in this country, only a few, on account of their 
earliness, are adapted to the climatic conditions of the northeastern territory. 
Varieties to Use for Grain 
or Seed 
CAYUGA. The earliest high-yielding variety recommended 
for grain production in New York State or in regions having a 
similar growing period. Planted in late May or early June 
this variety is ready for harvest by the middle of September. 
Use 35 to 40 pounds of seed per acre when planted in 21 to 
28-inch rows or 90 to 100 pounds when drilled solid or in 
14-inch rows. 
EARLYANA. Earlyana is a new, early-maturing, high- 
yielding, high-quality Soy Bean introduced by the Indiana 
‘Agricultural Experiment Station. It ts taller and a little later 
than Cayuga. The threshed Beans are uniformly yellow in 
color, slightly oval in shape, medium in size, with a satisfactory 
oil content. Row planting is advisable because of the tall 
habit of growth resulting in a tendency to lodge when planted 
too thick. When planted in Iate May or early June the Early- 
ana Soy Bean has never failed to ripen on our own farms 
here in Western New York. 
Use 35 to 40 pounds per acre when planted in 21 to 28-inch 
rows, or 60 pounds when drilled solid or in 14-inch rows, 
For Silage, Hay or Green 
Manure 
LINCOLN. A new cross between Mandarin and Manchu, 
maturing in about 110 days. The seed is yellow with a bl: ack 
scar and resembles Manchu in general habit and growth. The 
Lincoln Soy Bean is replacing Manchu and similar varieties 
in the producing areas of the United States. 
For silage use 15 pounds Soy Beans and 15 pounds corn to 
the acre; for hay or green manure use 6 to 8 pecks if drilled 
solid, or 3 to 4 pecks in close rows. If used for hay, cut after 
pods form and before the leaves start to fall. 
WILSON. Slightly later in maturing than Manchu and not 
quite as rank a grower. An excellent variety for green manure. 
Rate of seeding same as Manchu.
