| Notes: | Label source: Weight of crop 2900 lbs per acre Stuart R Cope, 33 Great Tower St, London Opuscular source: Letter 518,1913 : viii p.181 I should like to bring to your notice a recent report I have received from the Special Agent in charge of the US Dept, of Agriculture at the Hawaii Experimental Station Honolulu, respecting a selected variety of soya beans I have been offering to planters during the past year or so. The report states: 'With regard to the soya beans which you sent for testing the first pla, nting encountered rather unfavourable conditions, but the second planting grew to a height of 16 to 19 inches matured in 80 to 90 days and yeilded at a rate of 2900 lbs per acre. This is the best yield of all the varieties of soya beans with which we have, experimented'. I submitted this report to the Oil Seeds Assoc of Liverpool, and the secretary writes to me that this return is better than anything else he has yet met with. I have had the seeds tested in bulk by the Hull Oil Manufacturing Co Ltd and, the report is that the oil contents are 2% more than any other soya beans they have yet met with. (Letter to Mr Stuart Cope 33 Great Tower St London 16 Oct 1913 to Director) 'The country of origin is Russia: they are part of the parcel which I supplied t, o the US Dept of Agric Hawaii' (Mr Cope 20 Oct 1913 to Director) | ||||
