Wood’s Yellow Soy Beans 
PROCLAIMED 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 South¬ 
eastern States. Many farmers have simply been amazed 
at the tremendous growth, production of beans, stating 
it has drawn more attention that 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. Produces enormous quan¬ 
tity 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, if 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 3J feet apart. 
CAUTION—Owing to the 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.

READ WHAT A NORTH CAROLINA 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 lookes 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.”

EDIBLE SOY BEANS 
A GOOD CASH CROP TO GROW 
FflSV Ffifbli' (135 days) —An edible soy bean that can be

Lsed either in the green stage or dried. Easy Cooks are in 
big demand among sanatoriums for flour for diabetics. A 
heavy yielder. By mail postpaid, S peck 80c.; peck, $1.35; 
i bus. $2.30; bus. $4.10. Not postpaid, J peck 55c.; peck 90c. 
RflkllSlin A delicious and nourishing vegetable with healthy 
no wii human food elements not supplied by other 
vegetables. Produces an abundance of tender green beans in 
the last half of summer equal or superior in flavor to any 
other bean. The mature dry bean can be stored and eaten the 
rest of the year. The dry bean is large, flat, with a beautiful 
bright yellow color, and analyzes 43% protein and 18% oil, 
highly digestible, an excellent substitute for meat in the diet. 
The vine makes an upright griwth, 4J feet tall and with¬ 
stands heat, drought and ravages of bean beetles and many 
pests which attack other beans. Requires little cultivation, 
highly relished as a staple food in the Orient. Should be 
included in every Southern vegetable garden. By mail post¬

"We cooked some of Wood’s Yellow Soy Beans and found that 
they cook as quickly as the Easy Cook and are far superior to 
the Easy Cook in quality, and there is no strong taste as in 
the Easy Cook, and they have a sweet taste and have an odor of 
chicken cooking. You should try them out for yourselves and 
then you can probably recommend them as a table variety of 
superior quality. We are throwing away our home grown Easy 
Cook Beans and substituting Wood’s Yellow. We think that 
they should be classed with the edible soy beans. The soy bean 
is a very valuable food. We are using the flour, milk powder, 
oil and the dry beans in various ways.”—George E. Wells, 
Moore Co., N. C., April 3, 1939.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PLANTING SOY BEANS 
For Central and Eastern sections of Va., N. C., all of S. C., 
Ga , and Ala- — Wood's Yellow, Tokio, Mammoth, Yellow, Laredo, 
Biloxi, Otootan, Haberlandt, Easy Cook and Rokuson. 
For 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 
cultivated, and few crops leave the land cleaner and in better 
condition. They grow equally well on light and heavy soils, but 
Dii heavy soils they should not be planted more than 1 to li 
inches deep except in dry seasons. On light sandy soils plant 
deeper, but not more than 2 to 3 inches deep. When sown broad¬ 
cast sow l\ to 2 bushels to the acre; in drills 30 to 50 lbs. to the 
acre, depending on the size of the beans. Plant in 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- 
m-nly called "breaking their necks.” 
CROTALARIA 
A legume that makes four 
times the leafy growth and 
root nodules as cowpeas or vel¬ 
vet beans, frequently 40,000 
pounds per acre. When turned 
under the cash value of nitro¬ 
gen is estimated at $20.00 per 
acre, besides the untold value 
of humus which prevents ero¬ 
sion. holds water in sandy soil 
and opens up heavy soil. Yields 
of following crops are frequent¬ 
ly doubled. Completely smoth¬ 
ers out summer weeds. Grows 
well on any soil. Requires no 
lime, fertilization or cultiva¬ 
tion, although early cultivation 
pays. Sow at corn planting 
time 15 to 20 pounds per acre 
broadcast or 5 pounds in rows. 
Our seed is scarified and germ¬ 
inates readily. Inoculate witli 
Nitragin E. 
Crotalaria Intermedia 
The only crotalaria relished 
by animals. Furnishes two 
cuttings of fine quality hay. 
Two weeks earlier than Spec- 
tabilis. 
Crotalaria Spectabilis 
Although not edible, it makes 
about a foot more growth than any other Crotalaria, averaging 
7 feet high, and will yield 15 or more tons of green manure 
per acre.
