Plant SOY BEANS for Cheap Hay 
Soil Improvement, Oil and Food 

BROWN BILOXI 
An upright variety growing 4 to 5 feet high, 
covered with a dense mass of foliage that 
does not shed early. A heavy yielder of 
beans; the oil and protein contents are high; 
a fine bean for hogging down, for planting 
with corn or sorghum and for oil. The beans 
do not shatter, will stay in the pods until 
February. Late in maturing. 
MAMLOXI 
Developed at Stoneville, Miss., Experiment 
Station. Is erect in growth, upright, very pro- 
lific yielder of beans, and very fine for com- 
bination with corn, and soil building. Good 
for hay if planted thick. Matures about with 
Mammoth Yellows but shatters less. Seed 
yellow with some brown markings. 
MAMMOTH BROWN 
No other Soy Bean so good for hogging 
down as Mammoth Browns. When bad wea- 
ther pops the beans on the ground they swell 
up when wet but do not rot like other soys 
and the hogs get them all. Plant is erect, 
bushy type, usually about 3 feet tall. Oil 
content 17.77%, protein 44%, maturity about 
two weeks later than Macoupin. Our farmers 
have been looking for Mammoth Browns for a 
long time. Place your order early. 
LAREDO 
One bushel will plant 6 to 8 acres in rows 
3 to 3l4 feet apart, depending upon how 
thick you want them. We know of one farmer 
who got a perfect stand using one bushel to 
12 acres. They should not be covered deeper 
than 1) inches; a half-inch is better. One ar 
two cultivations to keep down the grass and 
weeds is advisable. One of the best hay 
varieties. 
TANNER 
Seedsmen formerly called this ‘‘Red Tanner” 
but U. S. Department of Agriculture says it’s 
Tanner only. It is a red seeded variety, seed 
about same size as Virginia or little smaller. 
A fine stemmed leafy variety that is finding 
favor all over the South as a hay variety. 
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. Makes a splendid 
hay variety. Also a prolific bean yielder.

FIELD OF SOYBEANS 
HOW ... WHEN... 
WHERE .. . to PLANT 
Soy beans may be planted either broad- 
cast or in drills. 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 drills about a peck to the acre. 
Plant in April, May or June. 
INOCULATE THE SEED BY ALL MEANS 
Field tests have shown that better crops 
are harvested when Legume seeds are 
inoculated even when planted on fields 
where inoculated seeds of the same Leg- 
ume crops had grown the previous year. 
Use NITRAGIN—the oldest and most wide- 
ly used inoculator in America. 
Small size (inoculates up to 120 lbs. of 
soy bean seed). Postpaid, each, 30c. 
ARKSOY 2913 
A yellow variety, maturing about three 
weeks later than Macoupin, however, it is 
two weeks earlier than the Mammoth Yellow 
or Mamloxi. 
RALSOY 
A selection from Arksoy 2913, retaining all 
the good characteristics. of that variety and 
claimed to have some improvements, such as 
uniformity in growth and even bigger yield.

OGDEN 
Developed by Prof. H. H. Ogden at the Uni- 
versity of Tennessee. A yellow variety. of 
high oil content, very prolific yielder of beans, 
which makes it a No. 1 bean for oil mill 
crushing. Drought resistance and soil building 
qualities add to its popularity. Matures seed 
about October Ist to 15th. 
VIRGINIA 
As it is about 20 days earlier than the 
Laredo, it can be grown farther north and 
throughout the corn belt. The vines make a 
fine growth, are filled with pods, stand about 
3 feet, are easy to cut and easy to cure. The 
stems being fine and the leafage profuse 
adapts it particularly well for hay making. 
OTOOTAN 
Few soy beans can equal Otootan as a hay 
maker. Its late maturity is more than over- 
come by the abundant growth—5S feet or more 
in long growing seasons—its fine stems and 
abundant foliage, and the fine texture of its 
hay. It differs from most varieties in having 
many leafy branches instead of a coarse cen- 
tral stem. 
LINCOLN 
Apparently ‘just what the doctor ordered” 
for southern farmers—an oil variety, ready for 
combining ahead of the cotton crop. This year 
(1946) this crop of Lincolns was combined 
August 10th in Mississippi, thirty to sixty days 
ahead of other varieties. And listen to this 
—average yield of 41 bushels per acre, with 
extra high oil content. You will want some 
of these.

GIBSON 
A very popular, extra early, yellow variety 
developed in Indiana, makes a good yield 
and has a good oil content. It did well in 
Mississippi in 1947 as a variety for crushing. 
S-100 
This is a yellow variety and was developed 
at the Missouri Experiment Station and is an 
exceptionally early maturing soy bean, ma- 
turing in early September. This earliness 
means everything to cotton farmers who can 
turn that crop into money before cotton pick- 
ing starts to any extent. It produces a splen- 
did crop of beans and has shown up as tops 
at Experiment Stations in 1947.
