WOOD'S “HIGH YIELDING” SOYBEANS 
ADAPTABLE 
SHATTER PROOF 
HIGH YIELDING 
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 Febru- 
ary. Then 100 plants were selected for yield 
and non-shatter ability. These were planted in 
individual 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 increasing plots to assure no mixing. Our 
fields of stock seed are carefully rogued then 
inspected by the Crop Improvement Association. 
Our beans pass field inspection by the Crop Im- 
provement Assn. To be assured of the best per- 
formance and purest stock of our varieties make 
certain they were grown by us. Due to the 
serious drought last summer, good seed stocks 
are in very short supply this season. Order early. 
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 
A400 Ibs. of 0-12-12. Cultivate 3 times. For hay, 
broadcast 3 times as much with grain drill; cut 
after pods begin to fill. Treat seed with 1 oz. 
per bu. of Arasan, page 58. This gives better 
stands and yields, eliminates purple stain on the 
beans and crops bring higher prices. Does not 
interfere with inoculation if planted within 2 
hours. Inoculate with Group 4. 
WOOD'S YELLOW, Late, 150 days. 
The most profitable full season bean for the 
Southeast. Makes top yields, resists drought, 
storm and shattering. Has beautiful bright yel- 
low beans which bring a big premium for 
human food. The most popular edible soybean. 
Recommended by the Va. Expt. Sta. for Eastern 
Virginia where it has made top yields, often 
over 40 bus. per acre; has largest beans of any 
variety; 44.2% protein content and the highest 
iodine number, 134. High Yields in N. C. tests, 
with 18.9% oil. 
EARLY WOOD’S YELLOW, 125 days. 
Ideal for hogging down or combining. It 
yields with the best late varieties, yet is 10 
days earlier than Ogden and will keep sound 
weeks after some other varieties are seriously 
weather damaged. It can be planted after small 
grain and harvested in time to follow with 
small egrain. Has small but strong upright stem, 
36 inches tall. Almost no shattering even on 
light soil. Some stalks have 300 pods. Its me- 
dium large yellow beans with good oil content 
bring a premium. Plant early with Wood's V-26Y 
yellow hybrid corn for hogging down feed in 
July.

Increase in Yields 
EXTRA EARLY WOOD’S YELLOW 
(115 Days) Our earliest soybean, yet yields al- 
most as much as full season varieties, usually 
25 to 40 bus. per acre. The best bean for extra 
hogging down. High yields of top quality bright 
yellow beans and extreme earliness make it a 
profitable crop in the short seasons of the North 
and high Southern Piedmont and Mountains. The 
beans have a good oil content and bring a 
premium for crushing or human food. Makes a 
strong upright bushy growth about 3 feet high. 
Resists storms and shattering and is ideal to 
combine. Does best planted late. 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. Beans almost 
from the ground up. Extra high oil content 
22.4%. Recommended by the Va. Experiment 
Station for Piedmont Section (North of James 
River) and West of the Blue Ridge Section. Good 
for hogging down or planting late. Limited 
supply. 
DORMAN, 121 days, new variety. 
Outyields S-100, has more foliage, higher oil 
content and better seed qualities. Leans but 
does not lodge any more than S-100. Limited 
supply. 
$-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 lb. 19% 
oil, 42.2% protein; seldom shatters. Plant last 
half of June. If sown early, grass bothers it. 
JACKSON. Wide Range of Adaptation 
A new variety developed by the U.S.D.A. in 
cooperation with state Agricultural Experiment 
Stations in the Southeast. Best adapted to 
lighter soils. Resistant to loading. Seed a true 
yellow color with distinctive brown eye. Supply 
very short. 
UPRIGHT GROWTH 
EASILY COMBINED 
EXCELLENT HAY 
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. 
WILSON BLACK. 125 days. 
Very popular in the mountains of Virginia, West 
Va., and the North. Growth similar to Virginias. 
VIRGINIA BROWN, 125 days. Fine Hay 
Thin viny stems, full of beans. Top quality hay for 
hogging in Virginia and the North. 
LAREDO, 140 days. Ideal Hay Bean. 
Vigorous growth, fine stems and leaves, best quality 
hay, easily cured. Small thin black seed. Sow 20 
Ibs. per acre. 
LEE. 140 days. New Variety 
A new superior variety, non-shattering and disease 
resistant. Adapted to same general area as Ogden. 
30 to 36 inches high, moderate size stems, and 
heavy foliage. Also in very short supply. 
VELVET BEANS 
Nutritious fall and winter grazing or soil improve- 
ment crop. Vines, leaves and pods remain palatable 
all winter. Plant 20 lbs. per acre with corn. After 
corn is harvested turn cattle or hogs in to graze. 
100-DAY SPECKLED, earliest, best for the upper 
South. Makes wondrous growth of vines for graz- 
ing and finishing cattle. A fine soil improver.
