A comparatively new and promising leguminous crop for Indiana farmers U the Soy bean This plant has been successfully grown In different parts of the state and at several points farther north la i United Stales. It thrives In good corn soils, and will grow wherever corn can be successfully produced Being a quick maturing annual, It will prove especially helpful to those who cannot grow clover. A crop or oy beans can be produced between the spring and autmun frosts anywhere In the atate. The soy bean may be grown for pasture, green forage (soiling). for hay or silage, or for seed It will yield nine to 12 tons of green fod-leIt to 2s tons of hay, and 10 to 40 bushels of seed according to variety, condition of soil, etc. Varieties. If seed is desired, the earlier varieties, only, should be grown in northern The Medium Indiana early varieties will doubtless mature In moat parts of the state, and are to be preferred owing to their greater yield. The later varletlea might be grown for soil renewal or soiling, but they would hardly mature seed. Culture. The soil may be prepared as far corn. . If impoverished by previous cropping the toil should be well supplied with lime, potash and phosphoric acid. Nltrogenoue manures have also proved beneficial in New England. The seed may be sown broadcast with the wheat drill. In rows IS to 24 Inches apart, or with the corn drill to be cultivated aa corn. The earlier varieties of aoy bean may. follow a crop of rye or barley or be sown In the standing corn at the time of the last cultivation, If the weather la seasonable. If sown In corn put In two rows of soy beans between each two rows of corn. Sow about two pecks to the acre In rows, like corn, and cultivate, if seed la desired. For paature, aolllng or bay, sow four or five pecks to tha r, Acre Food Value. Soy bean hay compares favorably with clover hay in chemical composition. The seed is very rich In protein and can therefore be jed advantageously with corn. The seed should be ground before feeding. The seed Is readily eaten. Stock as a rule, do not relish ths stems and leaves at first, but soon take kindly te this forage. Soy beanc and sorghum supplement each other as soiHngcrops. Corn wag oy' beans, together, '.are said to make good silage. Harvesting. Begin cutting at the time at early bloom, for soiling. Cat for hay when In full bloom, and as soon as the pods have formed, for silage. Cost at Seed. Seedsmen offer soy bean seed at $2.50 to )5 per bushel. This makes the cost far too great to justify growing soy beans as a general crop. Farmers are advised to try soy beans in a email way aa a special crop, and then grow their own teed if the crop gives promise of being valuable. W. C. Latta, Agriculturist.
