other advantage Of the soy bean is
that it grows with straight upright
habit and can be seeded in drills so as
to give thorough cultivation the same
as fodder corn. When planted with
corn the cowpeas are better because
they climb to some extent up on the
cornstalks while the soy beans are not
climbers at all. 1t is also said that
cowpea hay is more easily cured by
common methods than the vines Of the
bean; also a small second crop will
grow If the cowpea vines are cut for
hay early In the season, while there is
the soy beans. On the other hand. the
soy beans are harder than the cow
peas They will even stand a light
frost, which would kill the cowpeas.
They will terminate and grow in cool
err weather than the cowpeas can en-
dure 1t is easier to cut soy beans
with a mower because of their upright
growth and because of the fact that
they ripen nearly all together AS
grain producers soy beans largely ex-
eel the cowpeas. Some of the better
varieties yield over thirty bushels of
grain to the acre in addition to the
vines or straw.
Shallow planting of the seed has
given better results than deep, one to
four inches being better than deeper.
One-half bushel of seed is recommend
