By themselves, the soy beans make a strong-smelling silage, which is subject to putrefactive changes, as is the silage made from clover or alfalfa. Experience has shown that it is better to have the soy beans diluted with a more carbonaceous fodder, and corn is the one most easily grown to maturity at the same time as the soy beans. The beans should be podded but not ripe when ensiled. It has been found that the Medium Green variety is the one best suited to this practice in New York.

It reaches maturity with the most popular varieties of com and retains its abundant foliage longer after pods are filled than many other Fig. 687.— Medium Green Soy Beans Planted in Hills of Yellow Dent. Corn on a Farm in the Hills of Broome County, N. Y. This Growth was Secured in the Very Dry Season of 1913. Of course, the devotion of part of the com ground to soy beans will mean a reduction of the tonnage of fodder harvested, but the advantage is in the improved quality of the silage and the con- sequent saving of purchased grain while feeding it. The com- bination of soy beans and corn is therefore recommended for the farms where it is usually possible to grow a heavy yield of silage.
