Soy Beans as a Farm Crop.
There are five reasons advanced why
profitably added to the soy bean can be
made your crop rotation. They are:
Grain production, forage and silage,
green manuring, 'pasture and gathering
nitrogen from the air and storing it in
nodules on the roots. The grain of the
soy bean is rich in protein, or muscle
building food, and in oil, and thereby
compares favorably with cotton seed
meal and oilmeal. It contains more
than one-third more protein and twice
as much fat as cow-pea hay. In an ex
periment conducted at the experiment
station in feeding dairy cows it was
found the soy bean meal was superior to
cotton seed meal for producing both
milk and butter, when each of these
highly-nitrogenous feeds were fed with
the same other fat-producing feed stuffs.
As a feed for hogs, several stations
have tested the value of soy bean meal.
The Indiana Experiment Station found
that a ration embracing soy bean meal
as the protein portion of the feed gave
larger daily gains from smaller quanti
ties of feed for each pound of gain than
did wheat middlings or tankage when
used under similar conditions for pork
production.
The soy bean, therefore, serves most
satisfactorily the purpose of a'suitable
grain for use in balancing the high carbo
hydrate content of corn.
Soy bean bay, when cut at the proper
stage of growth and carefully cured, is '
excellent, and for dairy cattle at least
yields results equal to alfalfa hay. For
bay production soy beans may be plant
ed in cultivated rows, or, when the
ground is free from weeds, they may be
drilled or broadcasted.
To get the best hay from soy beans,
they should be cut when half or more
of the pods are fully grown, but before
tbey begin to change color in ripening.
Another rule, which is probably the
better one to follow, is to cut them when
the top leaves begin to turn yellow. At
this stage of growth the largest yield '
and at the same time a good quality of
hay will be secured. The hay is easier
to cure than cow pea hay, the amount
of moisture in the vines at harvesting
time being less. ,
The soy bean crop can often be profit
ably utilized by pasturing particularly
to hogs, especially when fed com in ad
dition. This is advisable when harvest
ing is interfered with by lack of . labor.
bad weather or other causes, and when
the crop is grown especially for soil im
provement. By this means not only is
the crop profitable in itself, but the
manure is returned to the soil. The ,
itml practice is to turn tfie hogs into
the soy beans when the pods are nearly
full of grain, but before they have be
gun to ripen. . V
Soy beans are more commonly grown
with corn than with any other crop. '
Tbey are planted in different sections in
various ways, namely, alternate hills,
with the corn in the same row, in alter
nate rows of each, in alternate series of
two rows each, or broadcasted in mix
ture. Such fields when planted in rows "
may be harvested for silage, or where
the rows alternate the two crops may be
harvested separately. Sometimes such
mixed fields are utilized by pasturing to
hogs. The beans should be planted ja
between the corn rows at the time of the
.last cultivation.
