No. 6. Cowpeas and Soy Beans.
By Earl Kilpatrick, Extension Agro
nomist, University of Arkansas. ^
The native home of the soy bean
and the cow-pea is probably central
! Africa, but both of them have become
i important, crops in marly pbrtiohs of
Mho world, and especially in the cot
j ton belt of the United States. The
fRped are used for food for both man
; and beast, while < the vines make
splendid pasture or hay,
| The uses of the plants are nearly
the same, so that at times. it is a
question which' one should be used.
Allhough there ar.e many varieties of
each which vary a great deal, soy
beans and cowpeas may lie compared
in a general way. Soy beans grow
upright, do not have the vining habit,
and mature their seed at about the
same time, while many of the cow
peas form vines on the ground, tan
gle up so that handling is hard, and
ripen some seed while blossoms are
still forming for other pods. Soy
hearts withstand frost and dry ■weath
er somewhat better, and when cut late
can be eufed for hay more readily
because the steam does mot contain
so much moisture, Cowpeas are
adaptpd to a wider type of soils, are
likely to make more rapid growth on
a poor sdil, and will shade the ground
better and keep down the weeds to a
greater degree than soy beans will.
Where soy beans are grown for the
first time inoculation of the soil is of
ten necessary, which is not true of
the cowpea. Soy beans are usually
heavy seed producers, and, although
thej* pop out badly when ripe, they
will lay on the ground for a long time
without growing, and may be picked
up by grazing hogs.
| There tire ntanv varieties of row
'
peas, but only a few are grown ex
tensively, among which are Whippoor
will, New Era, Iron, Brabham, Clay,
Red Ripper and Blackeye. The Iron
! and Brabham are resiBtant to wilt
and to root-knot, and should be grown
where those diseases are prevalent.
Among the soy beans, the ones most
commonly handled in a commercial
way are the Ito San, Medium Yellow,
Ilaborlandt,, Holiybrook and Mam
moth Yellow, although there are sev
eral other splendid varieties. The
little Ito San is extremely early, ma
il ing seed in about seventy-five days.
The Mammoth Yellow’ is the latest of
them all, but will mature 3eed if not
planted too late in the summer.
The method of planting these crops
depends upon the use that is to be
made of them. For pasturing off they
lay be planted in the corn row at
he second working, by broadcasting
>r drillTng between the rows at the
ast working, or by making the rows
of corn wide apart nnd planting a
row of cowpeas or soy beans between
thgm. The yield of corn is not de
creased much, if any, and the addi
tional > pasture is a source of profit.
When seeded alone, soy beans should
be planted in row’s and cultivated,
while cowpeas will shade the ground
sufficiently to keep down the weeds
Sorghum is often mixed with cowpeas,
especially for hay and for grazing;
but if rut for hav care must be taken
to use variefies of each that w’ill be
ready to harvest at about the same
time—for example, the New’ Era cow
pea and the Amber sorghum. The
usual rate of seeding cowpeas and soy
beans is about a peck to the acre in
rows, or a bushel when broadcasted
or drilled thickly, although the
amount, may be a little lighter for
those varieties lhat have the smaller
seeds.
one or (torn oi.ine crops suouui ne
Brown on every farm in the South
because they are not only profitable
from a feed standpoint, but they play
a big part in keeping up the fertility
of the soil. For every ton, dry
weight, or crop grown on average soil
at least 16.00 Worth of nitrogen will
he taken from the air and stored up
in the soil and the plant, or as much
as wonld be added In 1,600 pounds of
ordinary 8-2-2 fertilizer.
Tests show that the roots of these
plants constitute only about 10 per
cent of the whole, so that the great
est amount of fertility can be secured
only by pasturing them off on the
soil, by turning them under, or by
feeding and returning the manure. A
relatively small amount of vegetable
matter wit) be left in the soil if the
crop ts cut for hay and removed.
Too much dare ^n^iot be taken in

five years-only to dMpver that they
are worthless »

even if you wore it every day, and the eariler
you buy it the longer wear you will get from
