Wood’s Yellow Soy Beans 
Proclaimed by Growers for 4 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. Produces enor¬ 
mous quantity of pods, continues growing until frost. 
Makes a higher oil test than Mammoth Yellow. Maturity 
150 to 160 days, according to planting date. 
No farmer, if now growing soy beans for bean produc¬ 
tion, can afford not to plant this outstanding bean—2/5% 
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 3^^ feet apart. 
CAUTION—Owing* to the similarity in appearance to 
other yellow beans, secure your seed only from T. W. 
Wood 85 Sons, who are the originators of this outstanding 
soy bean. 
Note vast quantity of pods

WHAT (tROWERS say ABOUT WOOD’S YEEEOW 
A North Carolina grower writes: “I find they are superior to any 
beans that have been planted in this community.” Another: “The 
yield is double that of any other soy beans I have seen.” An East¬ 
ern Virginia grower states: “I have raised Virginias, Laredos, Wil¬ 
sons and Mammoth Yellows for the past 15 years, and can honestly 
say that the Wood’s Yellow is by far superior to any other soy 
bean I have ever planted or witnessed.” Another: “Although you 
recommended them for bean production, I sowed 5 bushels on three 
acres without any kind of fertilizer and cut a barn, 28 x 32 feet, 
full of hay. People just marvelled at their growth.” These are 
only a few of the many reports about Wood’s Yellow Beans—ask 
anyone who has grown them. 
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 Earlv Black days) —The most popular bean for 
^ the mountain section of Virginia, West 
Virginia, and northern states. Similar in growth to Virginia 
Brown. 
Mammoth Yellow days) —A standard variety for the 
mammuLn 1 eiiww states, for bean production and 
forage. Erect in growth. 
Otootan 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 ~ Black 
seeded bean of out¬ 
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 days) —Probably the most popular bean in the East, 
Large yielder of beans and an outstanding hay producer, 
A good variety for combining. 
Brown Biloxi (165 days) —One of the tallest growing varieties. 
Hardly shatters at all, makes heavy yield of 
beans and a dense mass of foliage. Fine for hogging down or 
for planting with corn and sorghum. Note long growing season 
required.

POCAHONTAS SOY BEANS 
This bean originated in James City County, Virginia; slighHy 
smaller in size than the Virginia or AVilson, a yellow bean with 
greenish cast, producing a finer quality hay and averaging 20 
bushels of beans per acre, which is 20% to 40% larger than other 
hay beans generally grown in this section. 
Makes erect growth with luxuriant foliage, has a slender stalk, 
large leaf, bush growth and stands up exceptionally well, making 
it easy to combine. For a double purpose crop for hay or bean 
production it has few if any equals. Farmers who have used Poca¬ 
hontas are most enthusiastic, and we believe they are destined 
to replace other hay varieties generally used throughout the East. 
Plant 1V4 bushels per acre broadcast for hay—bushel for beans 
—1 peck in rows. Maturity about 135 days. 
S NOTE—Yellow variety beans, such as Wood’s Yellow, Tokio, 
S Haberlandt and Pocahontas, always command a premium over 
! colored beans for grinding* purposes and always readily salable. 
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. 
Mixf»r1 Srtv Bf>an« —For hay and soil improving. Composed of 
mixea Joy Deans varieties with sufficient early 
maturing beans for a proper balance of hay and grain. 
PLANTING RECOMMENDATIONS 
Por Central and Eastern sections of Va., N. C., all of S. C., 6a., 
and Ala. —AVood’s Yellow, Tokio, Mammoth Yellow, Laredo, Poca¬ 
hontas, Haberlandt, 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, AYilson Black, Hlini and Laredo where they will 
mature. 
mini —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 than 2 to 3 Inches deep. AA'^hen 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.”
