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 Miugo and same as Dunfield. Is about a week later than Richland. 
The plant grows slightly taller than Mingo or Dunfield and tends to = ae 
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 bushel $3.75.

Richland 
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 1947 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, $4.00 per bushel. 
— INOCULATE SOY BEANS 
No other investment pays such high dividends as the treatment of 
seed beans with Nitragin just before planting. The plants show 
increased vigor and eventually a higher yield. The cut on page 45 
is very typical. With the extreme high market value of Soy Beans 
and the low cost of Inoculation, the difference generally pays for 
your seed many times over. Price (Culture S) Soy Bean Inocula- 
Hil pone bu., 30c; 5 bu., 55¢; 25 bu. can, $2.50; 30 bu. car- 
on, $3.25. 


Scioto Scioto was developed by the Ohio State University and 
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, $4.25 per bushel.
