Breeding to Improve the soybean
is only beginning, but the chances
aye bright, says W. J. Morse of the
united States Department of Agri
culture. New varieties are needed,
even though the department and the
states have already imported more
than 10,000 lots of seed.
Soybeans are particular in their
local requirements, are more vari
able than many plants, and are
grown for a variety of purposes.
A good forage variety for one area
may not do at all well elsewhere.
A good forage bean may not be a
good milling bean, or be useful
as a vegetable.
Some growers want soybeans for
forage; others for oil and meal
processing; still others as vege
tables. The result is that each local
area in the soybean regions needs
a soybean variety thet will do well
in that particular place and for a
definite purpose. Such an area may
even need two or three varieties—
one for forage, one for high oil or
protein content for the mills, and
a third for the table.
The soybean is a self-fertilized
plant. Artificial crossing is diffi
cult and tedious, but it can be done.
