RESSELE-IIECKEE’S SOY BE AYS 
They Make Poor Land Good—They Make Good Land ttcttci* 
They make a rich and nutritious hay and one of the cheapest. The beans always find ready sale at the oil mills and for planting. 
It is one of the South's most economical soil improvers. They require no fertilizers except acid phosphate. 
Our location in the very heart of the original and best Soy Bean seed producing section enables us to supply the finest 
stock of seed offered anywhere at especially advantageous prices, quality considered. When you buy from us, you buy 
direct from Soy Bean headquarters. We grow and handle many thousand bushels of Soys every year. 
Soy Beans are one of the South’s best hay crops, 
CULTURE. Soy beans may be planted either broadcast or 
in drills. Usually a better crop is had when planted in 
drills and cultivated, and few crops leave the land cleaner 
and in better condition for the following crop. They grow 
equally well on light and heavy soils, but on heavy soils 
they should not be planted more than 1 to 1% inches deep 
except in dry seasons. On light sandy soils plant deeper, 
but not more than 3 inches deep. When sown broadcast 
sow 1 to 1% bushels to the acre; in drills about a peck to 
the acre. Plant in April, May or June. 
INOCULATE. Be sure to inoculate the seeds with Nitra- 
gin. Not only will you have assurance of a surer stand 
but a better crop and the succeeding crop will have the 
benefit of the nitrogen stored in the bean roots. 
Biloxi Soy Beans 
An upright variety growing 4 to 5 feet high, covered with 
a dense mass of foliage that does not shed easily. A heavy 
yielder of beans; the oil and protein contents are high; a 
fine bean for hogging down, for planting with corn or 
sorghum and for oil. The beans do not shatter, will stay 
in the pods until February. Late in maturing, requiring a 
long season to mature, but makes an unusually luxuriant 
growth; sow seed broadcast at rate of two bushels to an 
acre. In drills, sow % bushel to the acre. 
Dclsta 
Very stout, erect, short and bushy, splendid for combina¬ 
tion with corn. Plant thick for hay. Very prolific, beans 
little larger than Mammoth Yellow and shatter much less. 
Avoyelles 
Developed in Louisiana, grows very similar to Otootan, 
sometimes called Improved Otootan, seed are much larger 
—the worms past year in Louisiana did no damage to Avoy¬ 
elles but ruined the Otootans. 
Laredo Soy Beans 
One bushel will plant 6 to 8 acres in rows 3 to 3% feet 
apart, depending upon how thick you want them. We know 
of one farmer who got a perfect stand using one bushel to 
12 acres. They should not be covered deeper than 1% 
inches; a half-inch is better. One or two cultivations to 
keep down the grass and weeds is advisable. The Delta 
Experiment Station reports splendid results from sowing 
Laredo March 25th to April 10th with a wheat drill on oats 
planted the previous fall. This drill helped instead of hurt¬ 
ing the oats, and the beans were not large enough when 
the oats were harvested to interfere with the binder. Sow 
seed broadcast at rate of one bushel per acre; when sown 
in drills sow about 1 gallon or 2 gallons per acre. 
Mamloxi (Mammotli-Biloxi Hybrid) 
Developed at Stoneville, Miss., Experiment Station. Is 
erect in growth, upright, very prolific yielder of beans, and 
very fine for combination with corn, and soil building. 
Good for hay if planted thick. Matures about with Mam¬ 
moth Yellows but shatters very little. Seed yellow with 
some brown markings. 
Maiainoila Bruivu 
A fine big foliage variety, succeeds well in this section; 
won’t shatter. The plant is upright, with heavy branches; 
a big yielder of beans and foliage. Does well on all soils. 
It is a medium early variety; matures its beans in about 
110 days. 
It should be planted in rows 3 to 5 feet apart and 8 to 10 
inches in the row; sow 10 to 12 pounds to an acre. Mam¬ 
moth Brown Soys grow 4 to 5 feet high and are covered 
with a dense mass of foliage that does not shed easily. 
When sown broadcast, use 1 to 1% bushels of seed to the 
acre. 
Mammoth Yellow Soy Beans 
Valuable for both beans and forage. Mammoth Yellow is 
one of the largest growers among Soy Beans, and the most 
widely grown variety and excels in yield of bean and hay; 
sow seed in May broadcast at the rate of two bushels to the 
acre; when planted in drills use % bushel seed to the acre. 
Mamrrdo Soy Beans 
Produced from a hybrid of Mammoth Yellow and Laredo 
Soys at Delta Branch Ex. Sta. Shatters comparatively little, 
upright bushy plant, splendid for grazing and hay; its ex¬ 
tra earliness is very valuable. Each of the characteristics 
is desirable; try some of these sure. 
Otootan Soy Beans 
Few Soy Beans can equal Otootan as a hay maker. Its 
late maturity is more than overcome by the abundant 
growth—5 feet or more in long growing seasons—its fine 
stems and abundant foliage, and the fine texture of its hay. 
It differs from most varieties in having many leafy 
branches instead of a coarse central stem, making it easy to 
cut. Planted in 3-foot rows, they will cover the land with 
a mass of foliage. Plant one gallon per acre in corn. 
Tokio 
Maybe a few days earlier than Mammoth YAllow but does 
not shatter quite so much. Bush type, erect growth; very 
prolific, and much grown in Tennessee and East Mississippi. 
Plant thick for hay. Seed greenish color, round. 
Virginia Soy Brans 
As it is about 20 days earlier than Mammoth Yellow, it 
can be grown farther north and throughout the corn belt. 
The vines make a fine growth, are filled with pods, stand 
about 3 feet high, are easy to cut and easy to cure. The 
stems being fine and the leafage profuse adapts it particu¬ 
larly well for hay making; sow broadcast one and one-half 
bushels to an acre; in drills % bushel to an acre.
