SOY BEANS 
WOOD’S YELLOW 
Late, Early and Extra Early 
High Yields of Top Quality Beans. 
Easily Combined. Resist Storms. 
Sturdy Upright Stalk; Shatterproof. 
Thoroughly adapted and highly recommended 
the Middle and South Atlantic. Experiment 
Stations praise their high quality beans with 
bright yellow color that brings a big premium 
on the market. They are in tremendous de- 
mand for human food; their popularity in- 
creases every year. 
Southern farmers should plant part of their 
acreage in each. The Extra Early Wood's Yel- 
lows can be harvested and followed with oats 
or barley. The Early Wood's Yellows ripen in 
time to plant wheat. The Late Wood's Yellows 
will stand up without shattering and can be 
harvested when other fall duties are over. 
EXTRA EARLY WOOD'S YELLOW 
115 days. Our earliest soybean, earlier than 
S-100, yet yields almost as much as fall season 
varieties, usually 25 to 40 bushels per acre. 
The bestbean for extra early hogging down. 
Its high yields of top quality bright yellow 
beans and extreme earliness make soybeans a 
profitable crop in the short seasons of the 
North and high Southern Piedmont and Moun- 
tains. The beans have a good oil content and 
bring a big premium for crushing or human 
food. Makes a strong upright bushy growth 
about 3 feet high. Stalks are covered with 
beans from the ground up. It resists storms 
and shattering and is ideal to combine. Like 
other early beans it does best planted late, 
avoiding the competition of the early crop of 
weeds. It is superior for planting behind small 
grains. Planted in early July it reached full 
maturity before frost. 
OGDEN, 135 days. High oil and yield. 
Branches and pods clustered close around a 
small maim stem, easy to combine. N. C. Ex- 
periment Station recommends it for heavy rich 
black lands. Ogdens do not pop out on rich 
soil like they do on light sandy soil where 
Early Wood's Yellows do better and don't 
pop out. Virginia Experiment Station recom- 
mends Ogden for Piedmont and Coast. Beans 
are olive yellow, medium small, 3,000 per |b.; 
20% oil, 43.4% protein. We grew 300 acres 
of pure seed from Registered or Certified 
strains. 
S-100, 120 days. Extra Early. 
Virginia Experiment Station recommends it for 
combining and hogging in East and South Vir- 
ginia. Small yellow beans, 3,400 per Ib. 19% 
oil, 42.2% protein; seldom shatters; medium 
small stalk, stands up on medium land. Plant 
last half of June. If sown early, grass bothers it. 
We grew 160 acres of pure seed from Regis- 
tered or Certified strains. 
TOKIO, 150 days. 
Big beans bring premium. 
Similar to Wood's Yellow but beans are green 
and pop out when dead ripe.

WOOD'S YELLOW SOYBEANS showing heavy 
set of pods and strong stalks. Part of 120 acres 
of W. H. Pointer, near Richmond, who says: 
"This crop of Wood's Yellows planted June 25 
after barley is as good as any we ever saw 
despite the dryest season on record here. We 
have been well pleased with them for many 
years. Their large beautiful yellow beans have 
always brought us a big premium on the 
market. They do not shatter like most varieties. 
They stand up despite severe storms and are 
easy to combine. Their strong stalks produce 
beans from the ground up. Their deep spread- 
ing roots find moisture during droughts and 
keep the plants growing green and vigorous 
when most other varieties dry up. Their big 
roots hold up the stalks through storms and are 
covered with nodules enriching the soil with 
nitrogen. Wood's Yellow usually does best 
planted the first half of June. Its vigorous 
growth crowds out weeds. 
"We also grew 50 acres of Early Wood's 
Yellow and will increase this next year. It is 
the ideal soybean for this section, easy to 
combine, does not shatter at all, is far superior 
to Ogden, is two weeks earlier, almost as 
early as S-100. It can be planted after small 
grain." 
WOOD'S YELLOW, Late, 150 days. 
The most profitable full season bean for the 
Southeast as it makes top yields, resists drought, 
storm and shattering; is ideal to combine and 
has the most beautiful large bright yellow beans 
which bring a big premium for human food 
over ordinary oil beans like Ogden. It is the 
most popular edible soybean, never enough to 
satisfy the demand here and abroad. It is 
recommended by the Virginia Experiment Sta- - 
tion for Eastern Virginia where it has made 
top yields of highest quality beans in their 
tests, often over 40 bushels per acre; has the 
largest beans of any variety, 2,400 beans per 
lb.; has the highest protein content, 44.2%; 
and the highest iodine number, 134. High 
yields in North Carolina tests, with 18.9% oil 
and average maturity Oct. 30. 
We developed it and improve it every year, 
hand picking our foundation stock seed, rogue- 
ing it in the field, and do not harvest it until 
late winter, sometimes February to insure storm 
and shatter resistance.

- RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 
EARLY WOOD'S YELLOW, 125 days. 
The ideal soybean for combining or early hogg- 
ing down. It has everything desired; yields with 
the best late varieties, yet is 10 days earlier than 
Ogden, almost as early as S-100, can be planted 
after small grain and harvested in time to follow 
with fall grain. It has a light small but strong 
upright stem, 36 inches tall, easy to combine yet 
storm resistant. Stalks are full of pods from top 
to bottom, averaging 185 pods per plant, up to 
300, many with 3 beans per pod. Makes a fine 
quality hay, not coarse like later varieties. It is 
shatterproof. Harvest can be delayed until 
Christmas. It is the best bean for light sandy land 
where Ogdens pop out. It is far superior to 
Roanoke for combining. 
It far outyielded other early varieties in 1950 
Virginia Experiment Station tests, making 45.7 
bu, per acre at Petersburg, 30% more than S-100, 
31% more at Warsaw, and highest in the Eastern 
Shore test. Its medium large yellow beans with 
good oil content bring a premium. 
LAREDO, 140 days. Ideal Hay Bean. 
Vigorous growth, fine stems and leaves, best 
quality hay, easily cured. Small thin black seed. 
Indiana Laredo is no good in the South. 
VIRGINIA BROWN, 125 days. Fine Hay 
Thin viny stems, full of beans. Top quality hay 
for hogging in Virginia and the North. 
PLANT SOYBEANS | or 2 weeks after corn, an 
inch apart in 24 to 36 inch rows, 2 pecks per acre 
of small seeded or 3 of large varieties. Use 400 
Ibs of 0-12-12. Cultivate 3 times. For hay, broad- 
cast 3 times as much with grain drill and cut 
when pods begin to fill. Treat seed with | oz. per 
bu. of Arasan, page 68. This gives up to 1/3 
better stands and yields, eliminates purple stain 
on the beans and crops bring higher prices. It 
does not interfere with inoculation if planted 
within 2 hours. Inoculate with Group 4.
