SOY OR SOJA BEANS 
A Dependable Cash Crop 
Soybeans are rapidly becoming one of the most outstanding crops 
throughout the southeastern, as well as the central and eastern corn 
It is truly a many purpose crop, a large yielder of 
beans, also an excellent crop for hay, green manure, silage and hog- 
ging down. At prevailing prices, and indications are for good prices 
for several years, soybeans are one of our best cash crops to grow. 
For commercial or oil production the yellow varieties generally com- 
mand a premium over the colored beans. Owing to the severe drought 
last year varieties adaptable to the eastern states are in short supply. 
Soybeans are easy to grow and harvest on practically all soils with 
little or no fertilizer. They stand drought and longer wet seasons than 
many crops; 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 soil with nitrogen. 
For seed production—large seeded varieties plant 3 to 4 pecks per 
acre; Small seeded varieties, 1 to 2 pecks per acre in 36 to 40-inch 
rows, and cultivate. Soybeans should never have deep cultivation as 
they have many very small roots that spread across the rows. When 
planted in corn a bushel will plant six to seven acres. For hay, broad- 
bushels of large and 1 bushel of small 
seeded varieties per acre. Use 200 to 300 lbs. superphosphate or 0-14-6 
belt sections. 
cast with wheat drill, 1% 
fertilizer. 
Cut for hay when in bloom and until they begin forming beans in 
the pod, Finer quality hay is obtained when the plant is in full bloom. 

Cultivating a fine crop of Soy Beans 
3 OUTSTANDING YELLOW SOY BEANS 
These three varieties have proven their adaptability to the east- 
ern states as being the largest yielding and most shatterproof 
varieties available. Maturing at different times makes the plant- 
ing of these three varieties easy crops to harvest. For bean produc- 
tion they have few equals, also make fine hay and silage crops. 
For hay or silage, however, we do not recommend the Extra Early 
or ory 7 as other varieties are lower in price and the seeding cost 
is less. 
EXTRA EARLY WOOD’S 
YELLOW 
100 Days. An exceptionally early strain. 
Well adapted to the Coastal, as well as the 
Piedmont and Mountain section of the 
Eastern states. Planted as late as June, 
will mature in plenty of time for sowing 
of fall grain. Makes a strong upright bushy 
growth, about 8 feet high, the stalk lit- 
erally covered with beans from the ground 
up. Like our late strain of Wood’s Yel- 
lows, is exceptionally shatterproof and 
combines easily. A. J. Gouldman, Caroline 
©o. Vian SAVeu consider 1b 2One moses tne 
best varieties I have ever planted in my ex- 
perience in farming. Each plant produces 
beans from the ground up and have not 
seen a single bean shatter up to the time of 
harvest.” Another grower in Montgomery 
County, Md., says: “It yielded about 40 
bushels per acre. Thirty average plants 
ran 86 to 107 pods per plant.” 
EARLY WOOD’S YELLOW 
125 to 130 Days. The ideal soybean for 
bean production in the Southern Piedmont, 
or for early beans or hogging down farther 
south. Matures late September in time to 
plant fall grain. Every one who grows 
Wood’s Yellow should plant a part of their 
crop in Early Wood’s Yellow as it is 25 days 
earlier, yielding about the same. It is ex- 
tremely prolific, outyielding other beans of 
the same maturity. Vigorous growth; me- 
dium tall, strong upright stalks; storm and 
shatterproof; easily combined; yellow oval, 
medium large seed. 
One of our growers in King William 
County, Va., says: “The state inspector, 
county agent, and farmers say my field of 
Early Wood’s Yellows is the best soybean 
for either bean, hay or hogs. It yields a 
third more than any other soybean. Its 
vines are completely filled with pods. It 
is ideal to combine.’’ 
WOOD’S YELLOW 
150 to 160 Days. Late strain, highly recom- 
mended for the Coastal section of Virginia, 
North Carolina, all of South Carolina and 
Gulf states. This bean which we introduced 
6 years ago has been proclaimed by growers 
in the above sections a super soybean. Never 
have we introduced any soybean that has 
been so highly praised and has practically 
replaced the old favorite Mammoth Yellow. 
Outstanding yields ranging from 25 to 40 
bushels per acre. Non-shattering even if 
harvesting greatly delayed. Large root 
growth, strong stalk and storm resistant. 
Produces beans from ground up. Such re- 
marks from our customers are numerous— 
from S. C.: “Our customers were much 
pleased with your non-shatter Wood’s Yel- 
low Beans.” From North Carolina: ‘‘Wood’s 
Yellow is as near shatterproof and the best 
yielding soybean we now have.” Many simi- 
lar letters are strong in their praise of 
Wood’s Yellow Soybeans. 
Virginia Brown 
125 Days. The all-round bean for hay in Vir- 
125 Days. 
This has proven one of the most out- 
ginia and the north. Fine stems; excellent 
quality hay. 
Wil E I BI k 125 Days. The most popular bean for the 
lison Early Diac mountains of Virginia, West Virginia, 
and the north. Growth similar to Virginia. 
Clemson 135 Days. Medium size yellow bean, particularly 
recommended for the Piedmont sections of the Caro- 
linas. Erect, medium height, very branchy, producing fine qual- 
ity hay, good silage or green manure crop. 
145 Days. A standard variety for the east- 
Mammoth Yellow ern states, for bean production and forage. 
Erect in growth; large yellow seed.

Haberlandt standing soybeans for both hay and bean produc- 
tion. Makes fine stem, leafy growth and one of the best hay beans 
for Virginia and the Carolinas. Makes a heavier growth and 
more yield of beans than the Virginia or Wilson, and equal or 
better quality hay. This bean should be more generally planted. 
It is a medium size yellow seed bean. 
Otootan 170 Days. Small oval black seed; 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; outstanding for hay. Dis- 
ease resistant; heavy seeder. Do not confuse with Indiana 
Laredo, which is not adapted to the South. 
Tokio 145 Days. Heavy yielder of beans and hay. Strong upright 
stem, A good variety for combining in the South. Large 
oval greenish yellow bean. 
Brown Biloxi 165 Days. One of the tallest varieties. Fine for 
hogging in the South or for planting with corn 
or sorghum and for silage. 
140 Days. The U. S. 
ROKUSON EDIBLE SOY BEANS 10 Pays. The U. S. 
culture describes the Rokuson as “our best edible type for both 
dry beans and green vegetables. Introduced from Japan in 1929 
and is a large, flat, yellow seeded variety; the pods 2 to 83 seeded. 
Analysis shows an oil content of 18.07 per cent and protein 43.18 
per cent.’’ 
EASY COOK EDIBLE 135 Days. An edible soybean that 
£5 8 ' can be cooked in half the time of 
other varieties. Used either in the green stage or dried. Easy 
Cooks are in big demand among sanatoriums for flour for dia- 
betics. A heavy yielder.
