Excerpt from Soy Beans and Secrets of Legume Inoculation

As compared with the cow pea, it is hardier, may be planted earlier in the season, and makes its full plant growth more quickly.

One summer I planted a field with Early Brown Soy beans and New Era cow peas, mixing the seed together in the planter, expecting the cow peas to continue growing and making succulence after the beans were ripe. But instead, by the time they were six weeks old, the cow peas were nearly cov ered, and never made much showing. It grows more erect, matures its seed more evenly, and the seed is not subject to attacks of the bean weevil, while cow peas are sometimes entirely destroyed by this pest. It is far more productive of seed, and this seed contains about 50 per cent. More pro tein than cow peas.

Its many varieties, ranging from very early to very late, makes its climatic range very great.
