Field of Laredo Soy Beans 
RUSSELL-HECKLE’S SOY BEANS 
They Make Poor Land Good—They Make Good Land Better 
They make a rich and nutritions 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. 
Inoculate. Be sure to inoculate the seeds with Nitragin. 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. 
CULTURE. Soy beans may be planted either broadcast or in 
drills. Usually a better crop is had when planted in drills and culti¬ 
vated, 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. 
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 Avoyelles but ruined the Otootans. 
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, re¬ 
quiring 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 y<j, bushel to the acre. 
Delsta 
Very stout, erect, short and bushy, splendid for combination with 
corn. Plant thick for hay. Very prolific, beans little larger than 
Mammoth Yellow and shatter much less. 
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 26th to April 10th with a wheat drill on oats planted the 
previous fall. This drill helped instead of hurting the oats, and the 
beans were not large enough when the oats were harvested to inter¬ 
fere 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.

Mammoth Brown 
A fine big foliage variety, succeeds well in this section ; won’t shat¬ 
ter. 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 6 feet apart and 8 to 10 inches in 
the row; sow 10 to 12 pounds to an acre. Mammoth Brown Soys 
grow 4 to 6 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. 
Mamloxi (Mammoth-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 Mammoth Yellows but shatters very little. 
Seed yellow with some brown markings. 
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 broad¬ 
cast at the rate of two bushels to the acre; when planted in drills use 
bushel seed to the acre. 
Mamredo 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 extra earliness is very valu¬ 
able. 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—6 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 Yellow but does not shat¬ 
ter 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 Beans 
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 particularly well for hay making; sow broadcast one and 
one-half bushels to an acre; in drills % bushel to an acre.
