SOYBEANS 
War is inducing the South and East to 
Switch from grain, tobacco and cotton to pro- 
ducing soybeans for oil. To fill this need we 
have developed 8 ideal new shatter proof soy- 
beans that make extra heavy yields of large 
yellow beans, high in oil, storm proof and 
easy to combine. They are also superior for 
hay, hogs and soil improvement. For the 
Southern mountains and the North use Extra 
Early Wood’s Yellow, 110 days. In the Pied- 
mont use Early Wood’s Yellow, 130 days. 
Wood’s Yellow, 150 days, introduced by us 
several years ago, has already become a popu- 
lar soybean in the cotton belt. Planting part 
of your acreage in all three extends the har- 
vest period, and reducing labor costs. 
We predict most of the acreage in the Hast 
and South will be planted in these varieties 
in a few years. Grow some this year and sell 
the seed at a premium, 
Extra Early Wood's Yellow 
110 days. A wonderful new soybean for all 
purposes, outyielding any bean in mountain 
regions and the North, or for extra early beans 
or hogging down in the South. Forty days 
earlier than Wood’s Yellow. Matures Septem- 
ber 1st in time to plant fall grain. Yellow, 
oval, medium large seed with 24% oil, bring- 
ing a premium at oil mills. Ordinary beans 
run about 16% oil. The strong upright bushy 
stalk is literally covered with pods. Storm 
and shatter proof. Combines easily. Outyields 
later maturing varieties, 
W. H. Budd, Montgomery Co., Md.: “Many 
leading farmers agree with me that Extra 
Early Wood’s Yellow is the heaviest yielding, 
and ideal soybean for this section. It yields 
about 40 bushels per acre. Thirty average 
plants ran 86 to 107 pods per plant, mostly 3 
beans per pod. It is shatter proof. Stalks 30 
inches tall. All pods held up at least 3% inches 
above the ground, combining easily. Not one 
plant went down in spite of continual severe 
storms, With only one cultivation, they grew 
so fast they smothered out all weeds,” 
Early Wood's Yellow 
130 days. The ideal soybean for all pur- 
poses in the Southern Piedmont, or for early 
beans or hogging down further south. Matures 
September 20th in time to plant fall grain. 
Everyone who grows Wood’s Yellow should 
plant part of their crop in Early Wood's Yel- 
low as it is 20 days earlier, yielding about the 
same. It is extremely prolific, outyielding 
other beans of the same maturity. Vigorous 
growth. Medium tall, strong upright stalks. 
Storm and shatter proof. Easily combined. 
Yellow oval, medium large seed with 22% oil. 
Ideal for oil mills. 
te Cs Davis, Jane: William: Co.,, Via.t .ine 
state inspector, county agent and farmers say 
my field of Early Wood’s Yellows is the best 
soybean for either beans, hay or hogs. It 
yields a third to twice as much as any other 
soybean. Despite a bad season it grew so fast 
it crowded out crab grass which destroyed my 
Tokios. Its vines are completely filled with 
pods. It is ideal to combine as all pods rip- 
ened and leaves fell at one time. Not one bean 
has popped out.” 

“Wood’s Yellow is full of large pods 
from bottom to top like a bunch of 
bananas.”—H. R. Maxon, Greenwood, 
S.C. The beans have a beautiful solid 
yellow color, oval shape and are about 
50% larger than Mammoth Yellow.

Wood's Yellow Soybean 
150 Days. A splendid variety for bean pro- 
duction and hogging down in_ the Southern 
coastal section. It consistently yields more 
beans than other varieties, does not shatter, 
makes a vigorous growth with strong upright 
stem and deep root and is resistant to disease 
and storms. It is good for hay or soil im- 
provement. 
W. D. Moore, Manager of the Southern Cot- 
ton Oil Soybean Crushing Plant, and for 18 
years a leading soy bean authority, says: 
“Wood's Yellow is as near shatter-proof and 
the best yielding soybean we now have. It 
contains more oil and protein and is well 
suited for oil mill purposes. The stalks stand 
erect and are easily combined. I combined 
out an average of 42.5 bushels per acre on a 
14-acre surveyed field. Another 12-acre field 
combined 43.2 bushels per acre. A 150-acre 
field averaged 35.5 bushels per acre harvested 
by combine. I do not believe any other variety 
has ever produced such yields in this section, 
as others shatter so badly their yield would 
have been only a third of this. 
130 Days. Small brownish yel- 
Clemson low seed. Produces a maximum 
yield of fine quality hay or silage, hog feed 
and green manure per acre. More seed and 
50% more hay than Otootan. It is a heavy 
bean producer but is not shatterproof. “It 
makes far more hay or beans than anything 
I ever saw, 2,000 bushels from 75 acres,”— 
E. W. Jones, Madison, Ala. 
125 Days. Medium size round 
Haberlandt yellow seed. Heavy oil pro- 
ducer. Stout bushy erect plant 30 inches 
tall. Good for hogging down, hay or soil 
improvement. Matures in time to plant fall 
rain. 
= ale 125 Days. The all-round 
Virginia Brown jean for hay in Virginia 
and the north. Fine stems; excellent quality 
hay. 
° 125 Days. The most 
Wilson Early Black popular bean for the 
mountains of Virginia, West Virginia, and 
the north. Growth similar to Virginia. 
145 Days. A standard 
Mammoth Yellow variety for the east- 
ern states, for bean production and forage. 
Erect in growth; large yellow seed. 
170 Days. Small oval black seed; 
Otootan makes fine quality hay in the 
Southern coastal section; averaged 8 tons 
per acre in a 4-year Georgia test. 
Laredo 140 Days. Small black seed; out-: 
standing for hay. Disease resist- 
ant; heavy seeder. Do not confuse with 
Indiana Laredo, which is not adapted to 
the South.

cooked in half the time of other varieties. 
Used either in the green stage or dried.

ROKUSON EDIBLE SOYBEAN 14° Days. The U. S. De- 
partment of Agriculture: 
describes the Rokuson as “‘our best edible type for both dry beans 
Introduced from Japan in 1929 and is a 
large, flat, yellow seeded variety; the pods 2 to 3 seeded. Analysis 
shows an oil content of 18.07 per cent and protein 43.18 per cent.” 
Soybeans are easy to grow and harvest on practically all soils 
They stand drought and longer wet 
seasons than many crops. They are less susceptible to frost than 
cow peas or corn, and a surer crop. They are profitable not only 
for the large yield of beans, but also the forage and hog feed left 
after harvest, and the abundance of root nodules which enrich the
