productive and satisfactory variety for 
bean production in all of the coastal 
25 to 40 bushels per acre. 
introduced 7 years ago has been proclaimed a super soybean. Never have 
we introduced any soybean that has been so highly praised and has prac- 
tically replaced the old favorite Mammoth Yellow; yields ranging from 
Non-shattering even if harvesting is delayed. 
Large root growth, strong stalk and storm resistant. Produces beans from 
ground up. 
EXTRA EARLY 
WOOD'S YELLOW 
110 to 115 days maturity. An excep- 
tionally early strain, particularly 
adapted to the higher Piedmont and 
states. Never since we introduced the 
late strain of Wood's Yellow have we 
received so many favorable reports 
from Virginia and North Carolina, 
claiming it the finest bean ever grown. 
Has every good characteristic—ma- 
tures medium early; upright in growth 
(height 36 in.); full of pods from the 
ground up, averaging 185 pods per 
plant and some as high as 300, with 
many plants having three beans to 
the pod; vigorous growth; stands up 
well; and shatter proof. Growers left 
these beans in the field until Christ- 
mas without shatter at this late date. 
Also makes a fine quality hay, not 
coarse as are later varieties. 
FOR SEED PRODUCTION—Large size va- 
tieties, plant in 3!/. to 41foot rows, three 
pecks to the acre—medium size varieties 
2 pecks per acre, and small size 1 to 1!/, 
pecks in 36 to 40-inch rows and cultivate. 
When drilled, use two to three times the 
above quantities. 
FOR BEAN PRODUCTION—Under the gov- 
ernment program, yellow beans, which in- 
clude Tokios, command a premium of 20c 
per bushel over colored beans. 
Early and Extra Early Wood's Yellow, S-100, Virginia Brown, Wilson Black, 
being early maturing varieties, can all be harvested in plenty of time for 
sowing small grain crops in Virginia. Wood's Yellow and Tokio are rather 
late in maturing to put in grain except in states farther south. 
For your information, the U. S. Government now grades all green 
soybeans as yellow beans, which includes Tokio, Ogden and Poca- 
hontas. 
S-100 SOY BEANS 
Practically a new variety in the East, which has given a very good 
account of itself for the past few years. S-100 is one of our earliest matur- 
ing soybeans, about two to three weeks earlier than Ogden. A high 
yielding bean that is very uniform, medium height and stands up well— 
yellow color seed, seldom shatters, with small to medium size beans. 
Plant in June. 
OGDEN 
The green beans resemble Tokio, but somewhat smaller. A heavy yield- 
ing, non-shattering variety with heavy oil content. Yields in past seasons 
from 30 to 50 bushels per acre were reported from North Carolina and 
Virginia. About 10 days earlier than Tokio. 
MAMMOTH YELLOW and TOKIO (145 Days) 
Standard varieties for the eastern states for beans and forage produc- 
tion. Large seeded varieties bring top government prices. 
HABERLANDT 
120 to 125 days of maturity. This medium early bean should be used to 
a much greater extent in the eastern states. It is far superior to the old 
Mammoth Yellow from the standpoint of both bean and hay production. 
LAREDO [140 Days} 
Small black seed; outstanding for hay. Disease resistant; heavy seeder. 
Do not confuse with Indiana Laredo, which is not adapted to the South.

Arasan Treated Soy Beans Showing Marked Increase in Yields 
mountain sections of all eastern states. 
For late planting in these localities it 
has few, if any, equals. In the south- 
ern coastal states plantings have been 
made as late as early July and 
reached full maturity before frost. One 
grower reports he planted Extra Ear- 
lies the last week in June and they 
were ready to combine the 10th of 
October. They were ready to harvest 
ahead of the late Wood's Yellows 
which were planted 50 days earlier. 
Yields for the past few years have 
been ranging from 25 to 40 bushels 
per acre in practically all sections of 
the East. Makes a strong upright 
bushy growth about 3 feet high, and 
stalks literally covered with beans 
from the ground up. Like our Early 
and Late strains of Wood's Yellow, it 
is exceptionally shatter proof. 
FOR HAY PRODUCTION — Broadcast or 
drill and cut the hay when in full bloom 
and until they begin forming beans in the 
pod. Finer quality hay is obtained when 
the plant is in full bloom. 
For hay, broadcast with wheat drill, 1'/2 
bushels of large and 1 bushel of small 
seeded varieties per acre. Use 200 to 300 
Ibs. superphosphate or 0-14-6 fertilizer. 
WOOD'S YELLOW SOYBEANS, late, early and extra early strains are 
highly recommended by State Agricultural Extension Divisions as leading 
strains for the Middle and South Atlantic States. They are holding their 
popularity amongst all other varieties in these localities due to their de- 
pendable high yielding qualities. 
LATE WOOD'S YELLOW and TOKIO SOYBEANS 
In recent years these two varieties have been in tremendous demand 
from a food standpoint. Their popularity has increased not only in this 
country but abroad, and are preferred for this purpose over all other 
varieties grown in the U.S.A. On account of this increasing popularity, 
they are bringing a premium over all other yellow varieties and are 
profitable crops to grow. 
POCAHONTAS (130 Days} 
Principally recommended as one of the finest hay beans. In official tests 
it has ranked at the top in production of cured hay per acre. Fairly 
tall growing variety, medium size stalk and heavy foliage. The matured 
beans are medium to small and light green color. A fine bean producer. 
VIRGINIA BROWN (125 Days) 
The all-round bean for hay in Virginia and the North. Fine stems; ex- 
cellent quality hay. 
WILSON EARLY BLACK (125 Days) 
The most popular bean for the mountains of Virginia, West Virginia, and 
the North. Growth similar to Virginia. 
The results of soybean seed treatment with Arasan are giving large 
increases in yields with better stands obtained. Demonstrations con- 
ducted by county agents in seven eastern North Carolina counties made 
during 1948 showed a 31% increase in stand by treating soybeans with 
Arasan before planting. Use | oz. of Arasan per bushel. Prices page 
68. Full directions for use on every package.
