Soy Beans may be planted either broadcast or in drills.

. . to PLANT 
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 1l4 inches deep except in dry seasons. 
plant deeper, but not more than 3 inches deep. When sown broadcast, sow 1 to 114 bushels to the acre; in drills about a peck

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 Legume crops had grown the previous year. 
inoculator in America. 
Small size (inoculates up to 120 lbs. of Soy Bean Seed). 
$-100 
A yellow variety developed at the Missouri 
Experiment Station, maturing in early Sep- 
tember. Experiment Stations over the South 
recommend S-100 above all of the other early 
varieties; has good oil percentage, a good 
yielder and brings the farmer the cash money 
before cotton picking starts to any extent. 
WABASH 
Developed by Illinois and Indiana Experi- 
ment Stations in connection with United States 
Regional Soy Bean Laboratory. Very early 
maturity like the Lincoln, but growers in 
Southeast Missouri report very much more 
desirable variety, more dependable. Extra 
high percentage of oil. 
VOLSTATE 
A late maturing yellow variety developed 
at the Tennessee Experiment Station, extreme- 
ly shatter resistant, staying in the pod until 
February, good oil variety and good yielder. 
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.

Postpaid, each 30c. 
TANNER 
A red seeded variety about the same size 
as the Virginia, or slightly smaller, a fine 
stem, leafy variety that is becoming more 
popular with farmers everywhere as a hay 
variety. About the same maturity as La- 
redoes, hay 115 days, seed 140 to 150 days. 
Tanners are planted for hay over a wider 
territory than any other variety.

LAREDO 
Possibly one of the most popular hay va- 
tieties ever developed. Laredoes can be 
planted earlier than any other variety be- 
cause they will stand more cold weather. A 
small black seed—one bushel per acre broad- 
cast or about a peck in rows is sufficient. 
Can be drilled in about April lst, in fall 
planted oats; by cutting the oats high, you 
can secure two crops on the same land in 
one year. Excellent hay, no value as an 
oil bean. 
VIRGINIA 
A splendid hay variety, a small brown 
seed, ready to cut about three weeks earlier 
than the Laredo. Grows about 3 feet tall, 
vines leafy and slender, easy to cut and cures 
readily. 
OTOOTAN 
Few soy beans can equal Otootan as a hay 
maker. Its late maturity is more than over- 
come by the abundant growth—5 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. 
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.
