Six essentials for growing soybeans from Iowa State study
H D Hughes of Iowa State College summarizes key practices for growing soybeans based on years of experiments at Ames. The list covers inoculation, soil cultivation, late May planting, recommended varieties, seeding rate, and early cultivation to control weeds.
Soybeans to stay large in Iowa acreage says Hughes
Beans last year climaxed 150 years of steady increase in the crop but the 1936 production is not expected to equal 1935. Soybeans offer higher per acre returns so acreage may stay large. Bulletin 809 from Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station gives growing details. Miss Garnet Laws of Ottumwa visited. Keith Reich of Des Moines spent Sunday with his mother. Madge DuVall of Drake University visited home folks.
