Seeding Soybeans with my IHC Drill

I hope this is a suitable topic for this particular forum. (If not someone steer me to the right forum, please.)
I am about ready to seed soybeans for the first time and I am using my trusty IHC #100 7"x14' drill. I have plugged the appropriate holes so that I am seeding 21" rows. Here's my question: I want to seed about 50# per acre and the chart on the drill lid says use setting #8. Now, since I am only using a third of the openings, do I want to put on three times as much seed? In other words, would I use the setting for 150# of seed? If any of you sage farmers have had experience with this, I would appreciate your input and advice. Oh, and I am pulling the drill with my 560D, so it is a bonafide red outfit going down the field. :)
Thanks. Chuck
