Wood's Yellow Soy Beans 
Proclaimed by Growers for 3 Years 
A Super Soy Bean 
Never have -we introduced any soy bean that has been 
so outstanding in praise by growers throughout the 
Southeastern States. Many farmers have simply been 
amazed at the tremendous growth, production of beans, 
stating it has drawn more attention than any crop they 
have ever produced. 
The outstanding characteristics are: Yield range 25 to 
50 bushels per acre. Records show not subject to disease. 
Non-shattering, even if harvesting greatly delayed. 
Storm resistant—owing to tremendous root growth and 
strong stalk. Combines well. Best poor land soy bean, 
yielding wonderfully on all types of soil. 1’reduces enor¬ 
mous quantity of pods, continues growing until frost. 
Makes a higher oil test than Mammoth Yellow. Maturity 
140 to 150 days, according to planting date. 
No farmer, 'f now growing soy beans for bean produc¬ 
tion. can afford not to plant this outstanding bean—25% 
to 100% increase in yield over other standard varieties 
are reported by many farmers who have planted and 
praised Wood’s Yellow Beans. 
Plant 3 pecks to a bushel in. drills 3 to 3V^ feet apart. 
CAUTION—Owing to tlie similarity in appearance to 
other yellow beans, secure your seed only from T. W. 
Wood & Sons, who are the originators of this outstanding 
soy bean. 
Note vast quantity of pods 
READ WHAT A N. C. GROWER SAYS 
“Enclosed are photographs of two of my soy bean fields, planted 
after I harvested my small grain. These beans were actually 
planted between the 20th of June and 1st of July with the Wood’s 
Yellow Soy Beans which I purchased from you. They are planted 
in three-foot rows and you notice they are lapping in the rows, 
and the leaves are almost as large as tobacco leaves. In all my 
experience, I have never seen any soy beans that were as thrifty 
and grew as fast as these. You will notice that I am cultivating 
them with a two-row tractor cultivator, and it looks like it would 
ruin these beans to cultivate them, lapping in the row as they are, 
as large as they are, but they are simply thriving on it, and it does 
not tear them up in the least.” 
Virginia Brown (125 days) —The all-round bean for hay in 
® Virginia and sections north and west. Stems 
finer than later beans and makes excellent quality hay. 
Wilson Early Black (120 days) —The most popular bean for 
■' the mountain section of Virginia, West 
Virginia, and northern states. Similar in growth to Virginia 
Brown. 
Mammnt'h (1^5 days) —A standard variety for the 
eastern states, for bean production and 
forage. Erect in growth. 
Otootan (170 days) —Black seeded variety, probably making the 
finest quality hay of all soy beans. Highly disease 
resistant and recommended only where long growing seasons 
prevail. 
Laredo—Genuine Southern Grown i^^^ecf^CL~oF^ou^ 
standing worth, particularly for hay. Disease resistant; a heavy 
seed producer. Do not confuse our genuine southern Laredo with 
Indiana Laredo, which is not adapted to southern conditions. 
Tokio (145 days) —Probably the-most popular bean in the East. 
Large yielder of beans and an outstanding hay producer. 
A good variety for combining. 
Rrnwn Rilnvi (165' days)—One of the tallest growing varieties. 
Hardly shatters at all, makes heavy yield of 
beans and a dense mass of foliage. Pine for hogging down or 
for planting with corn and sorghum. Note long growing season 
required.

PDANTING RECOMMENDATIONS 
Por Central and Eastern sections of Va., N. C., all of S. C., Ga., 
and Ala. —Wood’s Yellow, Tokio, Mammoth Yellow, Laredo, Haber- 
landt. Easy Cook and Rokuson. 
Por Eastern Carolina and other Southern States —The above 
varieties, also Biloxi, Otootan and Laredo. 
Western Virginia, N. C., Tenn., W. Va., and more northern 
states —Virginia, Wilson Black, Manchu, Illini and Laredo where 
they will mature. 
Manchu and Illini —Early maturing beans, recommended only 
for hogging down in southeastern states. 
CULTURE —Soy beans may be planted either broadcast or in 
drills. Usually a better crop is had when planted in drills and cul¬ 
tivated. and few crops leave the land cleaner and in better condi¬ 
tion. They grow equally well on light and heavy soils, but on heavy 
soils they should not be planted more than 1 to IV 2 inches deep 
except in dry seasons. On light sandy soils plant deeper, but not 
more tha.n 2 to 3 inches deep. When sown broadcast sow 1^ to 2 
bushels to the acre; in drills 30 to 50 lbs. to the acre, depending 
on the size of the beans. Plant in April, May or June. 
CARE —If a crust forms on the land before the soy beans come 
up, break it up with a harrow. This will prevent what is com¬ 
monly called “breaking their necks.” 
I^anchu (^^0 days) —Yellow seeded. One of the earliest and 
most desirable for hogging down and late planting. A 
very prolific producer of beans. Not recommended for hay, ex¬ 
cept in higher altitudes and northern states. 
mini (105 Days) —Popular and widely used in the mid-west. Oil 
content 18.6 per cent. Large yielder of beans, and recom¬ 
mended only for hogging down in the coastal states. Fine bean 
for higher altitudes and northern states. 
Haberlandt (125 days) —Erect, bushy, medium early. Por hay 
and hogging down. 
Srk-v R«>an« —For hay and soil improving. Composed of 
iTiia.cu ucmis varieties with sufficient early 
maturing beans for a proper balance of hay and grain.
