Scarff’s Soy 
Beans 
SCIOTO 
Released 1933 by Ohio State University and Ohio Experiment 
Station. This wonderful new variety was grown on our farm for the 
first time this year. Their growth and leafy character along with 
the many bean pods they produce is a revelation to any grower. 
Note the photograph how full of pods they are, how high they grow 
and how sturdy and strong the stalk is. Our Beans are not threshed 
at lb© time this description is being written but were put in a mow 
last fall in fine condition and we are sure our yield will be ex¬ 
ceptionally high as we never hauled so many loads from the ten 
acres we grew of any variety before and never were the stalks 
so full of beans. Why plant another variety when Scioto is so 
outstanding in every way. 
The table below will give you the history of the last three years 
at Columbus, Ohio. 
Scioto is outstanding in yield of both hay and beans.

** » TNT A medium season variety of yellow Beans that are a 
general favorite in Illinois. The table above shows 
that they are heavy yielders of both hay and beans in Ohio. We 
have grown them and know they are all right. We have a fine lot 
of seed. Price, $1.50 per bu. 
MANCHU 
A midseason variety used both for HAY and 
SEED. It grows erect from 36 to 48 inches 
tall and carries an abundance of foliage, making it ideal for the 
production of hay. If sown around middle to last of May can be 
cut around last of August when weather is good for curing. We 
use Manchu on our farms and have hauled in four to six big loads 
of hay per acre. The quality and feeding value of Soy Bean Hay 
equals Alfalfa. FOR SEED, the Manchu produces from 20 to 30 
bushels per acre. The bean is yellow, medium sized, with black or 
brown seed scar. It excels other kinds because the beans do not 
shatter. Manchu is the ideal general purpose bean. Price, $1.50 
per bu. 
WKTTV CAM A medium sized black bean of unusual qualities, 
wonderful hay bean, grows very prolific, with many 
leaves. Is heavy yielder of beans and a variety we recommend very 
strongly. Plant a few of these beans in the corn you put in the silo. 
Price, $2.00 per bu.
