Where adopted soybeans varieties
are grown there is never any diff
Guilty in getting thecrop off in time
for wheat seeding. Soybeans of the
right variety planted late in June will
be ready to harvest for seed before
the fy-free date for sewing wheat.
Even were the soybeans to come off
extremely late, wheat drilling could
follow Immediately, for the soybeans
leave the seeded in excellent condi-
ton.
The Morse, Wilson, Medium Yellow,
Mikado and Virginia have proved the
best general varieties in tests at Col
umbia and on outlying fields over the
state, according to G. T. Helm of the
Missouri College of Agriculture. OF
these varieties the Morse is prabably
thebest all-purpose variety. The Will
son and Virginia aregood seed variet-
les and are especially desirable fol
planting for hay or with corn for sill
age. The Medium Yellow and Mikadc
are good varieties. These two, with
the Marse, are desirable for planting
to be hogged off.
