A Fine Cash Crop 
The value of Soybeans is by now so generally 
known that it is hardly nécessary 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 are 
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 
You cannot go wrong with any of the varieties described 
on this page. If you live under conditions such as may pre- 
vail from central Iowa on south through Missouri the Lin- 
eoln is your best selection unless you want a strictly hay- 
bean. Then choose Virginia or Kingwa. Our Soybeans are 
thoroughly recleaned to highest purity and tested for ger- 
mination. High quality seed beans very short this year. 
Most beans have moved to market after ceilings went off. 
We'll guarantee satisfaction at money saving prices. Order 
today though as our supply of all varieties is limited. 
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 close 
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 small 
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. Easy 
to apply. Full directions furnished.

Other 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. 
About 7 days earlier than Illini. Not quite as early as 
Earlyana. Straw very strong. Will stand up on richest 
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 Lineoln. An excellent bean for sections similar to north 
central and central Iowa. Very popular in southern Iowa 
because they can be harvested fairly early, and are very 
heavy yielders. High quality yellow bean with a very 
strong straw. 
Kingwa Type. A Black Soybean of outstanding merit 
and quality. According to all 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, 1%4-1% bu. Prices on 
Pages 40-41.

The Sensational 
LINCOLN 
20% to 30% Bigger Yields 
That is the average increase in yield of 
Lincoln over Illini and Dunfield. Further they 
have the highest oil content and the quality 
of the oil is extra good. The Iowa experiment 
station has this to say: “The Lincoln soybean 
has shown its heels in yielding ability to any 
other bean with which it has been compared 
in the past 5 years in northern, central and 
southern Iowa: tests.” 
Ohio says it should replace all other yellow 
beans. In Indiana Lincoln yield of 45.9 bu. 
per acre averaged 10.2 bu. more than the 
Dunfield and Illini. In an average of 61 tests 
over 5 years in Ohio, Illinois and Nebraska. 
Lincolns were 6.5 bu. per acre or 22% heaviér 
in yield. Another 5 year test in Iowa, IIl., 
Ohio, Ind., Mo., Wisc., Mich., and Va., showed 
Lincoln yielding 5.2 or 18.6% more. 
_ This is the ideal soybean for sections hav- 
ing conditions like the southern two-thirds 
of Iowa and the northern half of Missouri. 
When planted real early can go north of this 
area and for late planting are good farther 
south. They stand up fine and hold the beans 
well for combining. See page 41 for prices on 
Certified and non-Certified seed. Both are 
thoroughly dependable.
