GROWING SOY BEANS

| as follows.
please give me information how 10
SOW SOY beans. I would Hike to have
them In rows far enousht apart 10 I
can cultivate them. Please state
amount OF seed per acre"
Soy beans are used very extensively
for haying purposes throughout Ohio.
Together with cowpeas. soy beans
MI a very important place In crop no.
tation. and make a good hay crop. be-
cause N an early crop should fail or
partially fail. II is possible to grow 4
crop of soy beans during the summer
| months. One Of the chief objections to
soy beans as a hay crop IL that the
stems become very fbrous OF woody
unless harvested early.
Soy beans make very good silage
crop when mixed with corn The
best results can be obtained by using
two parts OF corn to one ~ SOY beans
The Ohio experiment station has
found that best results are obtained
when these two crops are grown scpar-
ately and mixed al the time OF fliins
the silo. putting In two loads OF corn
and then one load OF SOY beans.
For soiling purposes SOY beans do
very we'll. mainly because they come
on later than oats. rye. and other crops
used Tor this purpose. Also. because
