poy Beans a New Cash Crop 

Soybeans will be a very profitable crop as long as the present demand for vegetable oils continues. They are a crop that requires very 
little labor and can be harvested at the growers convenience. 
SOY BEANS 
SENECA: 100 days. The new early yellow variety 
that will, we believe, take the place of Cayuga for 
grain, hay and silage in the northeast. Larger plant 
than Cayuga and yields much heavier. A_ very 
desirable variety for feeding or processing for oil. 
Seneca Soy Beans should be planted in 28 inch 
rows and cultivated or sowed with a grain drill 
using every other tooth. Because of size of plant it 
is not advisable to sow closer than 14 inch rows. 
Where 14 inch rows are used cultivating can be done 
with spike tooth drag or rotary hoe. 3 to 4 pecks 
will sow an acre in 14 inch rows. % bu. $2.25; bu. 
$4.00; 4 bu. or more $3.75 per bu., Not prepaid. 
MANCHU: 110 days. A tall, late, stiff strawed va- 
riety that is suitable for hay or green manure. It is 
also adapted to planting with corn for silage. 14 bu. 
$2.00; 1 to 4 bu. $3.50 per bu.; 4 bu. or more 
$3.40 per bu., Not prepaid. 
CAYUGA: 90 days. Cayuga has an upright habit of 
growth with few branches, 2% to 3 feet high. The 
stiff stalk bears a profusion of pods containing 2 or 3 
small black beans. ~ 
We have found that under our conditions the most 
economical way to grow Cayuga Soy Beans is to drill 
them about June |0th on a clean piece of ground us- 
ing all the runs in the grain drill and seeding at. the 
rate of 1% bu. per acre. If weeds are a problem 
when the bean plants are 3 to 4 inches high a weeder 
or spike tooth drag should be used. When ripe they 
can be cut with a combine or grain binder and 
threshed. 
Cayugas do not shell from ordinary handling and 
will yield from 20 to 30 bus. per acre. Ground with 
home grown grain they make an ideal high protein 
dairy feed. % bu. $2.00; 1 to 4 bu. $3.50 per bu.; 
4 bu. or more $3.40 per bu., Not prepaid. 
Do not fail to inoculate soy beans. 
CERTIFIED LENROC 
OATS 
A new heavy yielding white oat. This new variety 
was introduced by Cornell University Agricultural 
Experiment Station in 1935 and originated from a 
cross made in 1918. In 1939 statewide tests, Lenroc 
gave an average yield of 81.6 bu. per acre. 
Lenroc is slightly taller than Cornellian, with white 
kernels which are similar in shape to Cornellian but 
somewhat larger and more plump. The hull is a little 
heavier but the percentage of meat nearly the same. 
It has proved equal or better in production than 
Cornellian and is superior in color because of the 
white kernels. Tests made in six counties in New 
York State from 1931-34 inclusive indicate that 
under most conditions it is superior in yield to all 
varieties tested. Certified Seed: 1 to 15 bu. $1.15 
per bu.; 15 bu. or more $1.10 per bu., Not pre- 
paid. 
CERTIFIED ALPHA 
BARLEY 
2 to 2% bu. will sow | acre 
The most popular two-rowed variety in the East. 
Alpha is a heavy producing large kerneled barley 
with fairly stiff straw. Ripens a little later than the 
six row varieties; heads do not crinkle and break off. 
This makes it especially desirable for sowing with 
oats or harvesting with combine. Certified Seed: 
1 to 10 bu. $1.65 per bu.; 10 bu. or more $1.60 per 
bu., Not prepaid.

“This year I am very proud to say that I am ordering all my seeds 
from your company. Your seeds for the past two years that I have 
been your customer have proven to me to be the best.”
