FIELD OF SOYBEANS 
HOW ... WHEN... WHERE... to PLANT 
Soy Beans may be planted either broadcast or in drills. 
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 114 inches deep except in dry seasons. On light sandy soils 
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 
to the acre. Plant in April, May or June. 
JACKSON 
Announced by Mississippi Experiment Sta- 
tion in 1952, is about 12 days later than Lee 
—average maturity Oct. 25, similar maturity 
to Roanoke, slightly taller, more resistant to 
lodging, bean yields slightly larger than 
Roanoke. Two weeks later than Ogden. 
DORMAN 
Developed by U.S.D.A. and released through 
Southern State Experiment Stations. Seed are 
very scarce but should be fairly plentiful 
in 1955. Dorman is reported as high yielder 
of beans, often equaling Ogden in yield, 
seed quality excellent, oil content outstand- 
ing, 21/2 to 3 per cent better than S-100. Dor- 
man matures 14 to 18 days earlier than 
Ogden. Ground cover during growing sea- 
son very good. 
$-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 ts 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 perecentage 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 content 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.

DORTCHSOY 31 
The breeder states this bean showed no 
shattering at all at maturity and only 6% 
shattering thirty days later—that's the best 
record we have heard on oil type. You do not 
have to rush your combining. Dortchsoy is 
a high yielding medium late maturity Soy 
that stands up well, beans of excellent qual- 
ity. 
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. 
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 cure* 
readily.

LEE 
Mississippi Farm Research June 1954, claims 
Lee is superior to Ogden in seed yield, seed! 
quality and seed holding in pod—very little 
shellery 8 to 10 weeks after maturity. Five 
days later than Ogden. Lee has glossy 
yellow bean with black eye; height 30 to 36 
inches lowest pods. Somewhat higher off 
ground than Ogden, reducing combine losses. 
Well suited in Delta to both sandy loam and 
clay soils. Averaged 40 bu. per acre for past 
four seasons 1950-1953. 
DORTCHSOY 2 
Highly resistant to pustule leaf spot and 
wild fire, two bad soybean diseases— 
drought resistant and shatter resistant, ma- 
tures about Oct. 17, good yielder, high oil 
content, stands up well. 
DORTCHSOY 67 
The earliest of the Dorchsoys—matures 
about Sept. 20 to 27. High oil content. Stands 
up well and combines well. One of best yield- 
ers of beans among all early maturing va- 
tieties. More compact growth than other 
early varieties. 
LAREDO 
Possibly one of the most popular hay va- 
tietes 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 Ist 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. 
OTOOTAN 
Few soy beans can equal Otootan as a hay 
maker. Its late maturity is more than over- 
come by the abundant growth—5S5 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. 
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- 
redo, hay 115 days, seed 140 to 150 daysi. 
Tanners are planted for hay over a wider 
territory than any other variety.
