the soys are to be placed determine j the variety, hi planting them with i corn for hogging-down or for silage, later varieties, which mature at about ' the same time as the corn should be I used. Some dissatisfaction In raising ! soybeans with corn has been occas-j 1 lotted by using too early a variety, the, beaus being mature and hardened before the corn is ready to use. When soys become over-ripe they shatter and a large number are lost. Accordingly. varieties should be used which ar* early enough to avoid frosts and to take advantage of better drying weather. Experience has shown that all the necessary qualifications can be furnished by a very few varieties. The “Midwest,” a variety maturing In 115 to 120 days in Adams county has been grown extensively here and is very good for us* in corn for hoggin g-down or for silage. The “Ito San" which matures in this county in about 95 days is very popular for hay and for seed. It is much smaller than the I “Midwest.” The "Manthu.” which is I smaller than the “Midwest” and larg- I er than the "Ito San." matures in 109 I to 102 days and is suitable for hay or I seed . J Other l-'ss importa*!’ varieties have « ’> • n used locally with good r suits ( bu’ as a rule, ar* not as satisfactory as one of those referred to above.
