SOY BEANS 
c I O XA Scioto was developed by the Ohio State University 
Iw and released for distribution in 1933. The stalk 
as you note by the picture was very tall with stiff stem and set on 
an abundance of pods. It has been yielding at ieast three to five 
more bushels per acre than either Illlnl or Manchu. It is slightly 
later than Manchu and beans are similar but somewhat smaller. 
It has proven an exceedingly good variety especially for the southern 
half of Ohio. Why plant another variety w'hen Scioto is so outstand¬ 
ing in every way. Price, Scioto Soy Beans, $1.75 per bushel.

FABi VFI I AUU An early yellow variety especially 
■LMKLT ¥ tLl-Mww adapted for planting with early corn 
for hogging down. They mature earlier than most other kinds and 
yield well. Price, per bu., $1.75. 
midseason variety used both for HAY and 
IvIMAwnU SEED. It grows erect from 36 to 48 Inches tall 
and carries an abundance of foliage, making It ideal for the pro¬ 
duction 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 
equal 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, $1.75 
per bu. 
lAIII CAM ^ medium sized black bean of unusual qualities, 
WW I IbO wIw 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 com you put in the silo. 
Price, $1.75 per bu. 
\t I INI A ^ brown vining type variety that is very 
V I Im VI ■ Iw ■ popular for either hay or planting with corn 
for ensilage; generally too late for seed. Price, per bu., $2.00. 
VELVET BARLEY 
or heavier than bearded 
VARIETIES—DISEASE RESISTANT. SIX ROWS—STIFF STRAW THAT WILL NOT LODGE EASILY. 
This variety was originated at the Uni¬ 
versity of Minnesota and there has outyielded 
all other kinds. The Ohio State University 
and Experiment Station have also had good 
results. It is a heavy yielder and although 
we had general low yields of both Barley and 
Oats of all varieties last season it has always 
outyielded the other common kinds. 
This Barley has long heads and long awns 
which are smooth as velvet. Handles like Oats. 
Matures same season as other kinds. Pries, 
per bu., $1.60; lo bu. lots or over, $1.50 bs. 
Supply of Velvet Barley very limited. 
FALL BARLEY 
This variety has come quickly into promi¬ 
nence principally because of the high yields it 
has been making the last few years. Yields of 
60 to 80 bushels are not uncommon. Chinch 
bugs have not bothered this kind as it ripens 
too early for them. It should be sown latter 
part of September, and will ripen last of June 
Write us this summer for prices.
