SCARFF’S SOY BEANS FOR OHIO FARMS 
NEW --- LINCOLN --- NEW 
HIGH OIL CONTENT — REMARKABLE YIELD 

First Increase Block New Lincoln 
The New Lincoln is the result of a natural cross in 1934 of a strain of Mandarin and Manchu at the 
Illinois Experiment Station. Since that time it has been tested all over the Soy Bean growing area of the 
United States with highly satisfactory results. 
Lincoln matures slightly later than Mingo and same as Dunfield. Is about a week later than Richland. 
The plant grows slightly taller than Mingo or Dunfield and tends to 
branch considerably when planted thin. The stalk is stiffer than 
Dunfield, Illini or Mingo but not quite as stiff as Richland. 
The Oil content is highest and the quality of oil is the best of any 
variety yet available. In 21 tests over a 5 year period (1939-43) 
Lincoln outyielded Richland 5.4 bu., Dunfield 5.1 bu., Illini 4.8 bu., 
Scioto 4.4 bu. 
The Lincoln Soy Bean is generally adapted throughout Ohio, with 
the possible exception of the Northeastern section where earlier matur- 
ing varieties should be grown. In southern Ohio Lincoln will mature 
sufficiently early to precede wheat when planted early and in rows. 
This variety should eventually replace Dunfield, Illini, Mandell, Scioto, 
all of the numerous strains sold as Manchu and probably most of the 
Mingo now grown in Ohio. Price Lincoln Soy Beans per bu. $3.50.

Richland Soy Beans 
Stiff Stalk—Early Maturity—High Yield 
More Richland beans were sown in our central area than any other 
kind. If sown at normal season you can easily combine and sow 
wheat. Their stalk is stiffer than any other kind we know and we 
had yields of 40 bushels per acre. As a result more Richland will 
be sown in 1945 than any other kind. Our seed was harvested, cleaned 
and bagged early and is the best quality. Richland has a high oil 
content and you should sow pure seed. Price below. 



Min oO Mingo is .a midseason variety used both for HAY and 
y SEED. It grows erect from 36 to 48 inches tall and carries 
an abundance of foliage, making it ideal for the production of hay. If 
sown around middle to last of May it can be cut around last of August 
when weather is good for curing. The bean is yellow, medium sized, 
with black seed scar. The ideal general purpose bean. Price below. 
D nfi | d This bean is later in maturing than Mingo but earlier 
u e€ than Scioto. Thus is adapted over quite a large area 
of the state. It can be used for seed in all the southern and central 
part of Ohio and way to the north if no fall crop is to follow. The oil 
content is the highest among the commercial varieties. Price below. 
S i a Scioto was developed by the Ohio State University and 
cioro released for distribution in 1933. The stalk, as you note 
by the picture, is very tall and sets on an abundance of pods. It has 
been yielding at least three to five more bushels per acre than either 
Illini or Manchu. It is later than Manchu. Price below. 
Wilson A medium sized black bean of unusual qualities, won- 
derful hay bean, grows very prolific, with many leaves. 
Is heavy yielder of beans and a variety we recommend very strongly. 
Plant a few of these beans in the corn you put in the silo. Price 
below. 7 “ — 
° pan A light brown vining type variety that is very popu- 
Vi r ginia lar for either hay or planting with corn for ensilage; 
generally too late for seed. Price below. 



Prices, Lincoln Soy Beans $3.50 per bushel; Richland, Mingo, 
Dunfield and Scioto, $2.75 per bushel; Wilson and Virginia .
