New Soybean
Is Released

A new soybcan. named Bethel,
has been recently released for
seed increase. Practically all of
the seed this year has been COM
mitted to certified seed growers
and there is none for seed distri-
button to commercial growers,
points out Mr.. Joe Newcomer, Ex-
tension Agronomist, University OF
Maryland.
Outstanding characteristic Of
Bethel is its resistance to one
species of root-knOt nematode
Bethel also has resistance to pod
and stem blight disease and the
disease known as frog eye. 1t is
an erect. branching variety oil
medium height, with white flowers
and gray pubescence. The hilum
or seed scar. is yellow This varie-
tv natures to 10 days later than
Wabash and Clark and is 4 to s
days earlier than Dorman and
Hill. 1t averages 46 inches in height
and stands nearly as well as CLARK
and Wabash.
Nationally. Bethel has averaged
1872 bushels per acre as compared
to 37.3 bushels for Clark and 1874
bushels for Wabash. Oil content
Of Bethel averages 81 percent ant
protein 41.6 percent on a dry mat

The new variety was developed

projected the probability of an en-
ro!lmcnt of 500 students at Frost

to 064. They expect an increase
