SOY BEANS 
The Sensational New Variety! 
We are proud to offer for the first time this great 
new soybean. We consider the Hawkeye the great- 
est soybean development since the Lincoln. At last 
farmers who live in the northern corn-belt areas 
can produce just as high yields from soybeans as 
the farmers who raise the late varieties. In north- 
ern Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, southern Michigan, Wis- 
consin and Minnesota the demand for this sensa- 
tional new bean is far greater tham-the present 
supply. 
The Hawkeye was developed in Iowa; the result 
of a cross between the Mukden and Richland. After 
the cross was made many plant selections were 
studied, and after careful research by plant breed- 
ers the final selection was made in 1948, and since 
that time the big problem has been how to produce 
ea supplies to meet the overwhelming de- 
mand, " ss 
In one field near Chicago, Hawkeyés were drilled 
in rows 86 inches apart and planted 30.5 Ibs. ‘pers: 
acre, and the yield. was 47.8 bu. per acre. The oil 
content exceeds other varieties and the stalks stand 
erect when the.seed is completely mature. There 
is very little shattering’ of the seed. 
Hawkeyes have sold for as high’as $20.00 per 
bushel in some localities this year. We have been 
very fortunate in securing a limited supply of this 
seed. We want as many of our customers as pos- 
sible to try this wonderful new bean. Since seed 
supplies are scarce we recommend planting 30 to 35 
lbs. per acre in rows 388 inches apart. Order early 
before supplies are exhausted. See page 34 for prices.

SOY. BEANS — 
These beans are very popular with thousands 
of farmers in the northern part of the corn belt. 
Many farmers went back to Richlands last year. 
They mature about 8 or 10 days earlier than the 
Lincoln and some other late yellow soy beans. 
This early maturity often means the difference 
between a successful crop and a failure. You 
can combine Richland before other beans are out 
of the way of a frost or rainy season. The oil 
content is similar to other beans of this type. 
They can be planted a little later in the spring 
than the late varieties. The Richland grows erect 
but not quite as tall as Illini, Dunfield and Lin- 
coln. There is very little lodging in the Rich- 
land. They do well on extra rich and heavy soil. 
Plant the same as Lincoln. Richlands are some- 
times planted closer together in rows because they 
do not grow as tall as the Lincoln and are easier 
to cultivate, thus increasing the yields. See page 
34 for prices. .

20% Higher Yields 
The Lincoln soybean has been tops in yielding ability of all 
similar varieties tested in Iowa from 1941 to 1946. Com- 
parative tests were made in the northern, central and 
southern parts of that state. In Indiana yields as high as 
45.9 bu. per acre have been recorded. In Ohio the Lincoln 
variety has outyielded other varieties over a five year period 
by. 18.6%. In Illinois this bean has been raised throughout 
the state with remarkable yields. It is not quite as high in 
oil content as the New Hawkeye bean but yields in some sec- 
Bean processors like the Lin- 
Soybeans. tend to make the soil loose. We do not recom- 
mend planting on hilly land. They should be. planted about 
the same time as corn in most areas. Rows 36 to 40 inches 
“apart are recommended using about 45 Ibs. per acre, or in 
‘rows closer together (18 to 20 inches) about 65 Ibs. per 
acre. Cultivation is recommended while the beans are small 
to control weeds. Cultivation during the middle of the day 
and when the beans are dry is the best practice to follow.

“BLACK KINGWA” 
The Kingwa is one of the best varieties of 
soy beans for hay. During the past few years 
they have taken the place of the old Black 
Ebony and Black Wilson in the southern part 
of Indiana and Illinois where most of the 
seed is produced. They grow tall and leafy. 
They make a large growth and fine quality 
of hay. A great soy bean for planting with 
corn. They grow well on medium to poor 
soil. Will make 25% more hay than most of 
the yellow beans. Is a medium late type. 
Sow 14% to 1% bushels per acre. See price 
list page 34. 
“VIRGINIA BROWN” 
These are known as the Virginia Type of 
Brown Soy Beans. Used principally for a hay 
crop in northern part of the cornbelt. Stems 
are slender, making it easier to cure; also 
giving a finer quality of hay. The bean for 
seed is smaller than most of the yellow beans 
and takes less seed per acre. About 14 
bushel makes a heavy seeding for a hay crop. 
Our stock is limited. See page 34 for prices.
