[BuUetin 181 may be planted with the garden drill; the ordinary one-horse ortwo-horse corn planter, or with the grain drill. If a graindrill is used certain cups may be stopped and the rows plantedat any desired distance. The rows should be from 24 to 30 inchesapart, and the beans should stand about 2 inches apart in therow. The usual method of seeding for hay or soiling is to drillsolid. If a fine stemmed variety such as the Wilson or Black. Inoculaled and Uninoculated iSoy Beans After Harvesting. Champion is used, they may be seeded in rows the same as forsilage. If coarser varieties are used they should be drilled solid,as oats or rye. Soy beans should never be broadcasted by hand. More seed is used in drilling sohd, it requiring one and one-halfto two bushels of seed per acre. In rows 24 to 30 inches apartonly about one-half bushel of seed is required per acre. Considerable care should be exercised in planting not toseed the beans too deeply.

SOY BEANS MIXED WITH CORN. Many farmers have tried to grow soy beans and corn mixedin the same rows for silage. On account of the difference ofthe size and shape of the seeds it is hard to secure a uniformstand of either one. If seeded in this way it is better to pl
