Soy Beans 
Soybeans play an important part in many 
a farm-feed program. Valuable for hay. 
The beans have high-protein content .. . 
the meal makes an excellent base for mash. 
May be used with corn silage. Combined 
with oats, Sudan Grass, millet, or sorghum 
. soys offer a variety of nutritious feeds. 
“WILSON BLACK” SOYS 
Other varieties have come and gone, but 
“Wilsons” still lead the field where hay is 
wanted. It is still the most popular bean 
of the East for hay purposes. Makes a 
great growth of slender stems, sometimes 
5 feet on good ground, 3 to 4 feet even on 
poorer soil. Yields of 2 to 4 tons of high- 
protein hay per acre are common. Its rich 
growth makes it an excellent pasture va- 
riety, too. This variety, Wilson Black, will 
mature beans in lower Pennsylvania, Ohio, 
New Jersey and to the South; has _pro- 
duced up to around 30 bushels per acre in 
good seasons. Some folks plant in with 
their corn. The nitrogen produced by in- 
oculated soybeans helps the corn crop, and 
the mixture is high in feeding value. 
“LINCOLN” SOYS (Yellow) 
Has rapidly come toward the front in the 
East. Developed in Illinois, enjoys wide 
popularity through the Mid-West. Ap- 
proved by many authorities. Gained 
farmer-boosters every year on its perform- 
ance. Must be given high credit for its 
fine yield record. 
One outstanding quality is the way it 
stands up. Produces better-quality beans. 
In tests, often averaged 8 per cent more 
oil with a higher iodine number than other 
beans of same maturity. In some regional 
tests, “Lincoln” led the field by nearly 6 
bushels per acre. Here is fine-quality 
“Lincoln” seed. 
“HAWKEYE” SOYS (Yellow) 
About a week earlier in maturity than the 
popular “Lincoln.” A fine yellow soybean, 
“Hawkeye” fills the need for a good-stand- 
ing bean, earliness, and high yields of soy- 
beans indicate its extra yieldability. Its 
fine success so far will place it perma- 
nently on many more farms. 
The “Hawkeye” variety was developed 
in Iowa; its use has been spreading rap- 
idly in Mid-Western soybean country. 
Seems now like it has a rosy future here 
in the East, too . . . maybe right on your 
farm. If you’re looking for a good-yielding 
early bean, give it a trial this year. 
INOCULATE SOYBEAN 
SEED ALWAYS! 
Soybeans not inoculated take the nitro- 
gen they need from the soil; but well- 
inoculated beans can-take about 300 
pounds of nitrogen per acre from the 
air, thus increasing soil fertility. Soy- 
bean seed should be inoculated every 
time. In addition to yield benefits, 
protein content gets higher. 
Tests showed inoculation giving in- 
creases of %4 ton hay, and almost 12 
bushels beans per acre. Look at the 
picture at the top of this column. The 
stalks in the man’s right hand are from 
inoculated soybean seed . . . those in 
his left hand, from seed not inoculated. 
Your soybean crop will pay much better 
when Hoffman Inoculator is used. Cost 
is so low .. . returns great!
