EXPERIMENT STATION
OFFERS SOY BEAN SEED
FOR TRIAL CROPS

The soy bean is the most successful
annual legume that can be grown In
Iowa. says the farm crops section, al
Ames, which means that 1t can be
seeded in May or the first part OF June
TO get a crop the same year. 1t has
several uses. ~
/ For hay-The soy bean is a promis-
ing hay crop to use as an emergency
crop where clover fails. Yields OF
nearly three tons per acre Of dry hay
/ have been secured but two tons Is
about the average. The hay. while
little coarse, and not so palatabe as
alfalfa, has practically as high feed
ing value. It is readily eaten by sheep,
and is successfully fed to other live
stock, mostly cattle, milk cows par
jticularly. .-ts
! For seed--Soy bean seed commands
high price now, since the demand
for it is great. Soy beans are an ex-
celent feed when ground, equaling lin
seed meal in feeding value. The yield
of seed is from ten to twenty bushels
of sixty pounds each: higher yields are
often obtained
! For silage with corn-Soy beans do
not keep we'll alone in a silo, but mixed
with corn they make very good
silage. containing more protein than
corn silage. Soy beans can be grown
with the corn and cut at the same time
with a binder, or they may be grown
by themselves and put in the silo with
corn. Ten tons Of green hay per acre
are easily obtained.
For a green manure crop-Soy beans
make an excellent green manure crop.
adding large amount Of organic mat
ter. When inoculated. they add nitro
gen to the soil like clover or alfalfa.
The experiment station at Ames has
been trying out a number Of varieties
and this year has supply OF seed OF
a few of the best for distribution to
farmers for test on their own farms.
Two distinct experiments have been
arranged-No. Is and No. 16.
