SOY BEANS for OIL, SOIL, HAY 

iKtulsuy Suy Beans 
1225—LAREDO SOUTHERN (Hay, 110 days; Seed, 135 days) 
—Recognized as one of the best hay and soil building beans 
for the Central South. Seed small, bushel plants 4 to 6 acres 
in 2 foot rows; 1 acre broadcast. Cover about 1 inch. Since 
it will endure more cold, adverse weather than any other 
variety, it can be planted much earlier. Can be drilled in fall 
planted oats about April 1 with no injury to oats and by cut- 
ting oats high secure two crops on same land in one year. 
Growth is upright, branching freely; hay quality excellent. 
Price—5 Ibs., 90c; 10 Ibs., $1.60; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $2.25 
1224—BILOXI (Hay, 135 days; Seed, 165 days)—An upright 
variety, growing 4 to 5 feet high, covered with a dense mass 
of foliage that does not shed easily. A heavy yielder of 
beans; feeding value excellent because high in protein; a 
fine bean for hogging down, for planting with corn or sor- 
ghum. ‘The pods are less liable to pop than most varieties; 
in fact, they hardly shatter at all. 'They require a long sea- 
son to mature, but make a tremendous yield of hay or beans. 
Price—5 lIbs., 90c; 10 Ibs., $1.60; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $2.25 
1226—OTOOTAN (Hay, 140 days, Seed, 170 days)—-Few Soy 
Beans can equal Otootan as a hay maker. Its late maturity 
is more than overcome by the abundant growth, its fine 
stems and abundant foliage, and the fine texture of its hay, 
which cures quickly. It differs from most varieties in having 
many leafy branches instead of a coarse central stem, making 
it easy to cut and easy to cure. Planted in 3-foot rows, they 
will cover the land with a mass of foliage. 
Price—5 Ibs., $1.25; 10 lbs., $2.10; 1 pk. (15 Ibs), $2.75 
1219—TANNER (Hay, 115 days; Seed, 140 days)—A com- 
paratively new bean, but it gives more promise as a hay 
bean than any introduced since the Southern Laredo. Pro- 
duces as much or more hay than Laredo, of even superior 
quality. Stock seem to relish some soy bean hay more than 
others and they will leave hay of other beans to get the Red 
Tanner, cleaning up stems and all. Truly it seems good to 
the last drop. Don’t fail to try some of this unusual bean. 
Price—5 Ibs., 90c; 10 lbs., $1.60; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.95 
1230—VIRGINIA (Hay, 100 days; Seed, 125 days)——On account 
of its abundant growth and early maturity the Virginia 
makes a most excellent hay bean. The vines make a fine 
growth, are filled with pods, stand about 3 feet high, are easy 
to cut and easy to cure. The stems being fine and the leaf- 
age profuse. adapts it particularly well for hay making. 
Price—5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.35; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.75

CULTURE—Soy Beans may be planted either broadcast or In rows. 
Usually a better crop is had when planted in drills and cultivated, 
and few crops leave the land cleaner and in better condition for the 
following crop. They grow equally well on light and heavy soils, 
but on heavy soils they should not be planted more than 1 to 1% 
inches deep except in dry seasons. On light sandy soils plant deeper, 
but not more than 3 inches deep. When sown broadcast sow 1 to 
1% bushels to the acre, in rows % to % bushel per acre. Plant in 
April, May, June or July. 
1218—OGDEN (Hay, 110 days; Seed 135 days)—The most de- 
sirable full season non-shattering oil bean developed to 
date. In many tests it has produced almost phenomenal 
yields. The beans are yellow with a slight greenish cast; 
oil content high and the mills pay top prices for Ogdens. 
It branches freely and produces sufficient foliage to make 
an excellent hay bean. Its heavy production of large beans 
make it most desirable for hogging off. 
Price—5 lbs., 75c; 10 Ibs., $1.40; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.95 
1221—RALSOY (Hay, 100 days; seed 120 days)—A pure line 
strain of the very popular Arksoy. This bean has the neces- 
sary characteristics of the perfect oil bean, high percentage - 
of oil; earliness, heavy yields (frequently 40 bu. per acre). 
It sets the first beans at the right height for combining and 
all plants mature at the same time. It is almost shatter proof 
thus prolonging the harvest season until mid-winter with — 
little loss of beans. 
Price—5 lIbs., 75c; 10 Ibs., $1.40; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.95 
1220—ARKSOY 2913 (Hay, 1060 days; seed, 120 days). An 
improved selection of the original Arksoy, being more uni- 
form in growth and maturity. A prolific bearer which holds 
its beans well and is still a most desirable oil bean. 
Price—5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.40; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.95 
1233—MACOUPIN (Hay, 80 days; Seed, 100 days)—No doubt 
the finest early maturing oil mill bean developed to date. 
Harvest frequently starts last of August if planted early. 
Seed yield very heavy, 25 to 35 bushels per acre. Extremely 
non-shattering and ranks first in oil percentage. Will mature 
a full crop of beans when planted after early oats are har- 
vested. Produces hay of fair quality. 
Price—5 lIbs., 75c; 10 Ibs., $1.40; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.95 
1223—-MAMMOTH BROWN (Hay, 115 days; Seed, 140 days) — 
Makes a large upright growth, with plenty of foliage and an 
abundance of pods. Is a prolific yielder of beans, robust and 
is more disease-resistant than most varieties. Does not shat- 
ter badly. They are especially fine for late hog pasture. 
Price—5 Ibs., 90c; 10 lbs., $1.60; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $2.25 
1231—MAMLOXI (Hay, 120 days; Seed, 145 days)—Is upright 
in growth and produces excellent hay if planted thick. A 
very prolific yielder of beans which shatter little and the best 
ie maturing oil bean. Probably the best all purpose soy 
ean. 
Price—5 Ibs., 75c; 10 Ibs., $1.40; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.95 
1234—AVOYELLES—Developed in Louisiana and found to 
be very resistant to cutworms, or destructive pests on other 
varieties there. Seeds are black, larger than Otootan. Make 
a splendid hay variety. Also a prolific bean yielder. 
Post paid—5 Ibs., $1.00; 10 Ibs., $1.75; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $2.50 
1232—VOLSTATE—A high yielding yellow soybean. This is 
a later development by Prof. H. H. Ogden of the University 
of Tennessee. A little later in maturity than Ogden, but a 
week earlier than Tokio. Non-shattering qualities and ex- 
cellent for forage. : 
Postpaid—5 Ibs., 75c; 10 Ibs., $1.40; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $1.95 
1229—-MUNG BEANS—Should be planted in May for hay or 
turning under. Mung Beans are great soil builders and pro- 
duce a large quantity of excellent hay. They are very hardy 
and disease resistant. The seed are small and it takes 5 to 8 
pounds to drill an acre in 3-foot rows. Broadcast, 25 to 35 
pounds an acre. Beans mature in 90 to 100 days, depending 
on the season. 
Price—5 Ibs., $1.25; 10 Ibs., $2.00; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $2.75 
1228—90-DAY OR SPECKLED VELVET BEANS—It is very 
prolific and can be planted later than other sorts on account 
of its early maturity. Velvet Beans make a greater growth 
of vines and beans than any other known forage plant in 
the same length of time, therefore, one of the best soil build- — 
ing legumes. Excellent for grazing off green and cattle will 
fatten on them even after frost has killed vines. 
Price—5 Ibs., $1.25; 10 Ibs., $2.30; 1 pk. (15 Ibs.), $3.15
