SOY BEANS 
MINGO 
Mingo is the improved strain of Manchu, earlier than the Manchu 
we are accustomed to growing and too a pure variety. Manchu has 
become so mixed with other kinds that almost any lot of Soy Beans 
is called Manchu. Our lot of Alingo is pure. Purchase at least enough 
to produce your seed for next year. 
Mingo is a midseason variety used both for HAY and SEED. It 
grows erect from 36 to 48 inches tall and carries an abundance of 
foliage, making it ideal for the production 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 Mingo 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, Mingo produces from 20 
to 30 bushels per acre. The bean is yellow, medium sized, with black 
seed scar. It excels other kinds because the beans do not shatter. 
Mingo is the ideal general purpose bean. 
We offer small amounts of the two new early varieties of Soy Beans 
that show so much promise, Richland and Manderin. They mature 
one to two weeks before Manchu and are heavy producers. You should 
test one or both kinds. Price on enclosed leaflet. 
IVIANC^HLI offer this variety. It is of the same 
description as Mingo except a little later in ma¬ 
turing and not so pure. Price on enclosed leaflet. 
I Scioto was developed by the Ohio State University 
■ W 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 least three to five 
more bushels per acre than either Illini 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 when Scioto is so outstand¬ 
ing in every way. See enclosed leaflet for prices.

This variety was originated at the Uni¬ 
versity of Minnesota and there has outyleldet 
all other kinds. The Ohio State University

results. It is a heavy yielder and although 
we had general low yields of both Barley anc 
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. See en¬ 
closed leaflet for prices. 
Supply of Velvet Barley very limited. 
FALL BARLEY 
This variety has come quickly into promi¬ 
nence principally because of the high yields It 
haa been making the last few years. Ylelda of 
60 to 80 bushels are not uncommon. Chlncb 
bugs have not bothered this kind as it ripen* 
too early for them. It should be sown latter 
part of September, and will ripen laat of June
