WOOD'S “HIGH YIELDING” SOYBEAN 
ADAPTABLE 
SHATTER PROOF 
HIGH YIELDING 
EARLY WOOD’S YELLOW, 125 days. 
The ideal soybean for hogging down or com- 
bining. It yields with the best late varieties, 
yet it is 10 days earlier than Ogden and will 
keep its good sound seed qualities weeks after 
S-100 and some other varieties are seriously 
weather damaged. It can be planted after small 
grain and harvested in time to follow with 
small grain. It has a small but strong upright 
stem, 36 inches tall, and easy to combine. Al- 
most no shattering even on light soil. The stalks 
have pods from the ground up, some having up 
to 300 pods. Plant early a field using Early 
Wood's Yellow Soybeans and Wood's V-26Y yel- 
low hybrid corn for hogging down feed in 
July. A County Agent, while looking at a 
demonstration field of Early Wood’s Yellows 
and Wood’s V-26Y on the farm of Mr. Fronis 
Strickland, Tabor City, N. C., the first of July 
said, “It’s the best I’ve seen for hogging down 
and is ready for hogging right now.”

It far outyielded other early varieties 
Virginia Experiment Station test, making 
bu. per acre at Petersburg, 30% more 
S-100. Its medium large yellow beans 
good oil content bring a premium. 
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; and has the most beauti- 
ful bright yellow beans which bring a big pre- 
mium for human food over ordinary oil beans 
like Ogden. It is the most popular edible soy- 
bean. It is recommended by the Virginia 
Experiment Station 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 |b.; 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. 
OGDEN, 135 days. High oil and yield. 
Branches and pods clustered close around a 
small stem, easy to combine. N. C. Experiment 
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. We grew 
889 acres of pure seed from Registered or 
Certified strains. 
TOKIO, 150 days. Brings premium. 
Similar to Wood’s Yellow but large oval beans 
are green. Heavy foliage. 
VIRGINIA BROWN, 125 days. Fine Hay 
Thin viny stems, full of beans. Top quality hay 
for hogging in Virginia and the North.

WOOD'S YELLOW 
Late, Early and Extra Early 
In 1947 a field of Late Wood’s Yellow Soy- 
beans was planted, using our best stock seed, 
and left in the field until the following February. 
Then 100 plants were selected for yield and 
non-shatter ability. These were planted in in- 
dividual rows the following spring left in the 
field until January when further selections were 
made. These selections were entered in tests 
and put in increasing plots. We hand-harvest 
the seed from our breeding plots for our in- 
creasing plots to assure no mixing. Our fields 
of stock seed are carefully rogued then inspected 
by the Crop Improvement Association. Similar 
work is being done on other varieties in addi- 
tion to making hand crosses. Hundreds of acres 
of our beans pass field inspection by the Crop 
Improvement Ass‘n. and are offered to our 
trade each year. To be assured of the best per- 
formance and purest stock of our varieties make 
certain they were grown by us. 
PLANT SOYBEANS 1 or 2 weeks after corn, an 
inch apart in 21 to 36 in. 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, 
broadcast 3 times as much with grain drill and 
cut after pods begin to fill. Treat seed with 
1 oz. per bu. of Arasan, page 66. 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 inocu- 
lation if planted within 2 hours. Inoculate with 
Group 4. 
LAREDO, 140 days. Ideal Hay Bean. 
Vigorous growth, fine stems and leaves, best 
quality hay, easily cured. Small thin black seed. 
Sow 20 lbs. per acre. Cut hay when seed are 
near full development and lower leaves are 
yellowing.

EXTRA EARLY WOOD’S YELLOW 
(115 Days) Our earliest soybean, earlier than S-100, 
yet yields almost as much as full season varieties, 
usually 25 to 40 bushels per acre. The best bean 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 com- 
bine. 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. 
PERRY, 115 days (Extra Early). 
Big yellow beans with dark eyes. More foliage, 
earlier, larger beans, better keeping quality than 
S-100. Produces beans almost from the ground 
up. Extra high oil content 22.4%. Recommended 
by the Virginia Experiment Station for Piedmont 
Section (North of James River) and West of the 
Blue Ridge Section. Very good for hogging down 
or planting after small grain. Does best when 
planted late. Limited supply. 
DORMAN, 121 days, new variety. 
Outyields S-100, has more foliage, higher oil con- 
tent and better seed qualities. Leans but does not 
lodge any more than S-100. Limited supply. 
S-100, 120 days. Extra Early. 
Virginia Experiment Station recommends it for com- 
bining and hogging in East and South Virginia. 
Small yellow beans, 3,400 per Ib. 19% oil, 42.2% 
protein; seldom shatters. Plant last half of June. 
If sown early, grass bothers it.
