SOY BEANS 
‘““EARLIANA” soys. .. . A popular 
Mid-West variety. Earliest variety cer- 
tified by Illinois. Good bean producer. 
-About eight days earlier than “Rich- 
land.” Grows tall to medium height. 
Semi-whip-like in growth. Lower 
branches and pods well off the ground. 
Stands up quite well until seed is ripe. 
Seldom shatters. Good bean quality. 
Composition: 43 to 45 per cent protein, 
19.5 to 21 per cent oil. Iodine number 
of oil is 129 to 131. 

““KINGWA”’ (black) type soy beans. 
This variety, though comparatively new 
in the East, has done very well. Also 
a hay type bean. Tests at nearby experi- 
ment stations have been very favorable 
to Kingwa. Leafy, finer stemmed than 
some types. Not hard to cure. 
““CAYUGA’”’ soy beans. Here is a 
black bean type. Best suited in short 
seasons. Matures in some areas of New 
York State. About a week earlier than 
“Senecas.” If early hay is required, 
“Cayuga” soys will produce it. Not as 
large quantities of course as will the 
later types in longer seasons. 
‘““SENECA”’ soy beans. Here is an 
earlier hay type bean for North-Central 
areas. Sections that will let the crop 
come to full pod stage by late August. 
Some? folks use ‘‘Senecas” to produce 
the beans for early harvest in time to 
For Hay... Meal... 
Silage ... Pasture 
follow with winter wheat on the same 
ground. One crop required 96 days in 
North Pennsylvania. Beans are yellow. 
““MANCHU” type soy beans. Here is 
a yellow seed variety. Good for bean 
production, for meal and oil. Produces 
large quantities of medium-sized beans, 
maturing in about 110 days. Pods en- 
close the beans nicely until threshed. 
Plants stand erect and rather bushy. 
Used sometimes for forage and for hog- 
ging down. Will not make as good or as 
much hay as ‘Wilson Black.” 
EDIBLE soy beans. A few rows in 
your garden will provide mighty good 
eating—green or dried. Nutritious, too. 
Health authorities recommend them. A 
pound or two of seed goes far. Plant in 
rows 28 inches apart. 
Be Sure to 
INOCULATE 
Soy Bean Seed 
EVERY time you plant! Your crop will 
do better . . . pay much better. Yield 
of hay will be increased. Bean crop will 
be greater. Protein content will be 
higher. Your soil will be definitely im- 
proved (without proper inoculation, soy 
beans are soil robbers). Hoffman Inocu- 
lant, page 17—provides wonderful crop 
insurance—at almost no cost!
