A PROFITABLE CASH 
CROP TO GROW 
SOY BEAN 
NOTE—Plant Early Varieties for Bean Production 
Farmers are rapidly beginning to realize the many advantages in 
planting only early or medium early maturing varieties of Soy 
beans for bean production. They are real crop insurance against 
frost and can be harvested in plenty of time to put in small grain 
crops. Using varieties maturing at not over 125 days, they can be 
safely planted any time during June or even as late as Ist of July. 
Another advantage in early varieties planted in June is that they 
require cultivating once or twice less than late varieties which 
must be planted during May. This gives the farmer one of the 
quickest cash combine crops, ready to market in 3 months or less. 
For planting in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and the Piedmont 
and mountain sections of the Carolinas, we recommend only the 
early medium and early maturing varieties for bean production. 
They also produce fine quality hay, particularly Early Wood’s Yel- 
low and Haberlandt of the medium early strains. 

EXTRA EARLY WOOD’S YELLOW 
110 to 115 days maturity. An exceptionally early strain, par- 
ticularly adapted to the higher piedmont and mountain sec- 
tions of all eastern states. For late planting in these localities 
it has few, if any, equals. In the southern coastal states plant- 
ings have been made as late as early July and reached full 
maturity before frost. One grower reports he planted Extra 
Earlies the last week in June and they were ready to combine 
the 20th of October. They were ready to harvest ahead of the 
late Wood’s Yellows which were planted 50 days earlier. Yields 
for the past two years have been ranging from 25 to 40 bushels 
per acre in practically all sections of the East. Makes a strong 
upright bushy growth about 8 feet high, and stalks literally 
covered with beans from the ground up. Like our Early and Late 
strains of Wood’s Yellow, it is exceptionally shatter proof. 
WOOD’S YELLOW (LATE) 
150 to 160 Days. Highly recommended for the coastaB sec- 
tion of Virginia, North Carolina, all of South Carolina and 
Gulf states. This bean which we introduced 6 years ago has 
been proclaimed a super soybean. Never have we introduced 
any soybean that has been so highly praised and has practically 
replaced the old favorite Mammoth Yellow; yields ranging from 
25 to 40 bushels per acre. Non-shattering even if harvesting 
is delayed. Large root growth, strong stalk and storm resistant. 
Produces beans from ground up. See page 2 for edible quality. 
FOR SEED PRODUCTION—Large size varieties, plant in 3% to 
4 foot rows, three pecks to the acre—medium size varieties 2 pecks 
per acre, and small size 1 to 1% pecks in 36 to 40-inch rows and 
cultivate. When drilled, use two to three times the above quantities. 
FOR BEAN PRODUCTION—Under the government program, yel- 
low beans, which include Tokios, command a premium of 20c per 
bushel over colored beans.

Illini 195 Days. An exceptionally fine variety for late planting 
or where the crop is for hogging down. Illini does best on 
fertile soil, but is also adapted to soils of medium fertility, and 
throughout the mid-western soybean section has a wider range 
of adaptation than any other strain. We have sold a large quan- 
tity of Illini Soybeans to our trade over a period of years with 
most satisfactory results as a bean producer. A medium size 
yellow bean, ranking as having the heaviest oil content. Not 
recommended for hay. 
Creoeaae 125 Days. The all-round bean for hay in Vir- 
Virginia Brown ginia and the north. Fine stems; excellent 
quality hay. 
5 125 Days. The most popular bean for the 
Wilson Early Black mountains of Virginia, West Virginia, 
and the north. Growth similar to Virginia. 
tq 145 Days. Standard varieties 
Mammoth Yellow and Tokio for the eastern states for 
beans and forage production. Large seeded varieties bring top 
government prices. 
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. 
EASY COOK EDIBLE 135 Days. An edible soybean that 
; can be cooked in half the time of 
other varieties. Used either in the green stage or dried. Hasy 
Cooks are in big demand among sanatoriums for flour for dia- 
betics. A heavy yielder. 
4 OUTSTANDING YELLOW VARIETIES OF SOY BEANS 
RECOMMENDED FOR BEAN PRODUCTION IN ALL SOUTHERN STATES 
EARLY WOOD’S YELLOW i 
= 
120 to 125 days maturity. We consider this the most produc- #5 — 
tive and satisfactory variety for bean production in all of the 3 
coastal states. Never since we introduced the late strain of — 
Wood’s Yellow have we received so many favorable reports 4 
from farmers in Virginia and North Carolina, claiming it the 4% 
finest bean they have ever grown. Has every good characteris- 4% 
tic—matures medium early; upright in growth (height 36 in.); 4 
full of pods from the ground up, averaging 185 pods per plant 
and some as high as 300 with many plants having three beans — 
to the pod; vigorous growth; stands up well; and shatter proof, — 
Several growers have left these beans in the field until Christ-— 
mas and they did not shatter at this late date. Also makes a 
fine quality hay, not so coarse as the later varieties. Has made 
outstanding yields in comparison to other varieties. 
- HABERLANDT 
\ 
120 to 125 days maturity. This medium early bean should be 
used to a much greater extent in the eastern states. It is far 
superior to the 0ld Mammoth Yellow from the standpoint of 
both bean and hay production. An excellent yielder, highly 
shatter proof, and on good land will average 8 beans to the pod 
on two-thirds of the stalks. About 8 inches taller than the 
Virginia or Wilson and will produce a larger and equal quality 
hay crop. A medium size yellow bean of high oil content. Well 
adapted to all eastern states.

FOR HAY PRODUCTION—Broadcast or drill and cut the hay — 
when in full bloom and until they begin forming beans in the pod. — 
Finer quality hay is obtained when the plant is in full bloom. ;

MUNG BEANS 
There has developed an enormous demand for Mung Beans for’ 
commercial sprouting and canning. Heretofore the supply came 
from China and other Asiatic countries. The bean sprouts are _ 
used particularly by Chinese restaurants for making Chop Suey — 
and other Chinese dishes. They are adapted to the same general — 
area now Occupied by the Cowpea and will do well in most all sec- 
tions of the South. It is a legume used to some extent as a forage, — 
pasture and soil building crop. Grows well on any type of soil, but — 
best suited to warm sandy loams, Plant either in 3 to 3%4-foot — 
rows, or with grain drill from May to July. In rows plant 5 to 8 
Ibs. or in drills 15 to 25 lbs. If grain is used, each alternate hole — 
should be stopped. Inoculate with soybean culture. >
