A Fine Cash Crop 
The value of Soybeans is by-now so generally 
known that it is hardly necessary to describe 
that. Most Beans are now grown for the crop’ 
of mature beans and it is a question which va- 
riety will bring the biggest yields. It should 
not be overlooked, however, that soybeans aré ; 
also a very valuable hay crop. They are practically equal 
to alfalfa hay in feeding value. No need to be without 
plenty of rich hay. If your clover or alfalfa fails sow soy- 
beans. They:stand heat and drought and deliver the goods, 
Variety to Select 
There are hundreds of varieties of Soybeans. Many claims are 
made, some of which are very extravagant. There is'no need to 
confuse yourself in trying to learn about every kind. We sell only 
those which have proven themselves sound and dependable. You 
cannot go wrong with any of the varieties described on this page. 
If you live under conditions such as may prevail from central Iowa 
on south through Missouri the Lincoln is your best selection unless 
you want a strictly haybean. Then choose Virginia or Kingwa. 
We clean our beans carefully and test every lot for germination. 
Such beans are more economical than stock containing a lot of 
splits. Send us your order for beans. Your money back if you are 
not-completely satisfied with your shipment. See guarantee, Page 8. 
How to Handle Soy Beans 
Plant when weather and soil is warm, corn planting time or later. 
Prepare a fine clean seed bed. For hay broadcast or drill in cluse 
rows 1% to 2 bushels per acre. For seed in 18 to 20 inches apart 30 
to 40 lbs. per acre. Cultivate with a harrow while beans are smail 
and dry. Cut for hay when beans are fairly well formed, but~ be- 
fore leaves fall. Harvest for seed when beans are practically ripe. 
Inoculate Your Seed 
Inoculate Soybean and Cowpea seed. That helps to secure a more 
vigorous growth, heavier yields and higher value. Cost is low. Eusy 
to apply. Full directions furnished.

Giher Types of Soy Beans 
Richland. A fine early yellow bean with high oil content. 
Averaged 30 bushels per acre in 4 years central Iowa test. 
bout # days earlier than Illini. Not quite as early as 
Earlyana. Straw very strong. Will stand up on richést 
ground. Somewhat shorter than average on thin land. 
Adapted to southern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Northern and 
Central Iowa and sections having similar conditions. Good 
for late planting farther south. 
Mukden. A little later than Richland and a, little earlier 
than Lincoln. An excellent bean for sections similar to north 
central and central Iowa. Very popular in southern Iowa 
beeause they can be harvested fairly early, and are very 
heavy yielders. High quality yellow bean with a very 
strong straw. 
Kingwa Type. A Blaek Soybean of outstanding merit 
and quality. According to a!l customers’ reports it is 
greatly preferred to Wilson Black or Black Ebony both 
for hay and seed production. Especially valuable as a 
hay variety. Heavy producer and excellent quality hay. 
Virginia Type. Hay bean. Makes large growth with 
enormous yields of hay. One of the best for poor land, 
Seed brownish and smaller than the average. Re- 
quires less seed per acre. Prices on Pages 40-41, 





Edwardsville, Ill. 
Dear Sirs: I have bought seed from you for 
several years. I find them to be O. K. in every 
way. The quality and the germination is very 
satisfactory. Your seeds produce results. Also 
your prices are real money-saving quotations, 
I am well pleased. Yours truly, 
H. C. STRASEN.

CERTIFIED 
~EARLYANA 
EXTRA EARLY HIGHEST QUALITY 
This variety is in our opinion the very best of the 
early soybeans. In yield it is very close to later matur- 
ing varieties like Illini yet matures 10 to 12 days 
earlier. It is 4 to 7 days earlier than Richland and 
will do well on much thinner land. The straw of Early- 
ana is taller and that is a distinct advantage excepting 
on rich land. The lower branches and pods are welk 
off the ground which reduces harvesting loss. The 
pods run 2 to 4 beans with an average of about 3 per 
pod. Ona moisture free basis the beans average 20% 
oil of a high drying quality. Protein 43 to 45%. 
The Earlyana is more lodge resistant than Illini, 
not quite as strong as Richland. They are not only 
adapted to a wide range of soils but to a large range of 
climate. They are fine for southern Minnesota, Wis- 
consin, Michigan, Northern and Central Iowa and all 
sections having similar conditions. This takes in large 
portions of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Penn- 
sylvania and West Virginia. It makes a good bean for 
late planting farther south and where it is desired to 
get the land cleared early for winter wheat. For a 
heavy yielding, early maturing high quality soybean 
we know of none to equal Earlyana.
