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 Mingo and same as Dunfield. Is about a week later than Richland. 
The plant grows slightly taller than Mingo or Dunfield and tends to oe 
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 $4.50. 
RICHLAND SOY BEANS 
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 1949 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, $4.50 per bushel. 
EARLYANA SOY BEANS 
MATURES EARLY ENOUGH FOR WHEAT IN NORTHERN OHIO 
This new early kind matures about four days ahead of Richland and 
nine days earlier than Mingo. The plants are slightly. taller than 
Richland and a little more susceptible to lodging but much more 
resistant than Mingo. This variety has been very satisfactory 
wherever grown the last few years and we feel it has a very definite 
place where wheat is to be sown or for one reason or another the 
beans should be harvested early. Price, $4.50 per bushel. 
Wil n- A medium sized black bean of unusual qualities, won- 
iSO derful hay bean, grows very prolific, with many. leaves. 
Is heavy yielder of beans and a variety we recommend very strongly. 
ee a few of these beans in the corn you put in the silo. Price 
below. 



Vi one A light brown vining type variety that is very popu- 
irginid lar for either hay or planting with corn for ensilage ; 
generally too late for seed. Price below. 
Prices, Lincoln Soy Beans $4.50 per bushel; Richland $4.50 
per bushel; Wilson and Virginia $5.25 per bushel.
