SCARFF’S SOY BEANS FOR OHIO FARMS 
°e HAWKEYE SOYBEANS ° 
Hawkeye Soybeans are best early midseason kind 
Hawkeye Soybeans have again this 1952 season, proven their merit and have probably made the 
best all-round performance of any of the varieties grown in Ohio. The plant is large and stands well 
as shown in the above picture. This field was planted with one of our corn planters in rows 40 inches 
apart at the rate of 1 bushel per acre. The yield was 35 bushels of fine quality beans per acre. 
Hawkeyes are produced in all sections of Ohio and, as stated, they seem to be doing remarkably well 
everywhere. They are very satisfactory when planted around May 15th to 25th all through the 
central and southern sections of Ohio to follow with wheat. In the northern part of Ohio they require 
the full season to mature. Monroe should be used in this area. Our seed was all planted early and 
matured before the September frosts. Price per bu., $4.00. 
In central and northern Ohio there is a definite need for an early soy 
Monroe Soy Bea ns bean and Monroe fills the bill. It matures early enough to sow wheat, 
four to six days earlier than Hawkeye and yields just slightly less. Recommended highly by our 
Ohio Experiment Station. Price per bu., $4.50.

Lincoln matures slightly later than Hawkeye and about a week later than Richland. The plants 
grow quite tall and tend to branch considerably when planted at less than the regular rate of seeding. 
Even though it is tall, the Lincoln stalk seems to stand well and it is most unusual to lose any beans 
for this reason, The oil content is very high and the quality of oil is the best of any variety we know. 
The Lincoln Bean is generally adapted throughout Ohio, with the possible exception of the North- 
eastern section where earlier maturing varieties should be grown, In central and southern Ohio Lin- 
coln will mature sufficiently early to precede wheat when planted early and in rows. Price per bu., $4.00
