  Dwarf

  Rape 
  

  

  1127. 
  Valuable 
  for 
  cattle, 
  sheep 
  and 
  hogs. 
  Under 
  favor- 
  

   able 
  conditions 
  Rape 
  is 
  ready 
  for 
  pasturing 
  sheep 
  or 
  cattle 
  

   within 
  6 
  weeks 
  from 
  the 
  time 
  of 
  sowing, 
  and 
  on 
  an 
  average 
  

   one 
  acre 
  will 
  carry 
  from 
  12 
  to 
  15 
  sheep 
  six 
  weeks 
  to 
  two 
  

   months. 
  When 
  on 
  the 
  Rape 
  they 
  should 
  at 
  all 
  times 
  have 
  

   access 
  to 
  salt, 
  but 
  water 
  is 
  not 
  necessary. 
  As 
  it 
  thrives 
  best 
  

   in 
  cool 
  weather, 
  it 
  should 
  not 
  be 
  sown 
  in 
  the 
  Southern 
  

   States 
  until 
  September 
  or 
  October 
  for 
  winter 
  pasture. 
  Its 
  

   fattening 
  properties 
  are 
  probably 
  twice 
  as 
  good 
  as 
  those 
  

   of 
  clover, 
  and 
  for 
  sheep 
  the 
  feeding 
  value 
  of 
  Rape 
  excels 
  

   all 
  other 
  plants 
  we 
  know 
  of.

  It 
  is 
  a 
  tall, 
  annual 
  grass 
  reaching 
  a 
  height 
  of 
  7 
  to 
  9 
  feet 
  when 
  planted 
  

   in 
  rows 
  and 
  allowed 
  to 
  mature 
  for 
  seed 
  crop; 
  broadcasted 
  and 
  cut 
  in 
  the 
  

   bloom 
  for 
  hay 
  about 
  4 
  feet. 
  The 
  results 
  have 
  been 
  so 
  satisfactory 
  that 
  

   it 
  is 
  now 
  established 
  one 
  of 
  our 
  permanent 
  forage 
  crops. 
  It 
  is 
  easily 
  cured 
  

   and 
  handled 
  as 
  a 
  hay 
  crop. 
  Stock 
  of 
  all 
  kinds 
  eat 
  it 
  readily 
  and 
  will 
  

   leave 
  any 
  other 
  hay 
  for 
  it. 
  The 
  food 
  value 
  is 
  second 
  only 
  to 
  Alfalfa. 
  

   Should 
  not 
  be 
  planted 
  until 
  the 
  soil 
  becomes 
  warm 
  in 
  the 
  Spring. 
  Two 
  

   to 
  four 
  cuttings 
  per 
  year 
  can 
  be 
  obtained 
  when 
  sown 
  broadcast 
  for 
  hay, 
  

   the 
  number 
  of 
  cuttings 
  secured 
  depends 
  upon 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  season 
  

   and 
  the 
  moisture. 
  The 
  first 
  crop 
  will 
  mature 
  in 
  from 
  50 
  to 
  60 
  days, 
  and 
  

   the 
  second 
  crop 
  is 
  ready 
  for 
  harvesting 
  in 
  from 
  20 
  to 
  30 
  days. 
  Three 
  

   tons 
  of 
  cured 
  hay 
  per 
  cutting 
  per 
  acre 
  has 
  been 
  secured, 
  and 
  three 
  cuttings 
  

   made. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  great 
  drougth 
  resister 
  and 
  is 
  particularly 
  adapted 
  to 
  semi- 
  

   arid 
  regions. 
  It 
  is 
  an 
  annual 
  and 
  must 
  be 
  seeded 
  each 
  Spring. 
  When 
  

   seeded 
  in 
  rows 
  18

  20

  September 
  with 
  winter 
  rye, 
  which 
  serves 
  as 
  a 
  support 
  for 
  the 
  

   plants. 
  It 
  is 
  the 
  earliest 
  crop 
  for 
  cutting, 
  being 
  hardier 
  and 
  nearly 
  a 
  month 
  

   earlier 
  than

  Mr. 
  G. 
  Hunter 
  Svkes 
  of 
  Howard 
  Couittv,

  writes 
  as 
  follows: 
  "Last 
  August 
  I 
  

   bought 
  Standard 
  Inoculation 
  sufficient 
  for 
  2 
  acres 
  of 
  alfalfa, 
  and 
  must 
  say 
  I 
  was 
  pleased 
  with 
  it 
  as 
  my 
  first 
  cutting 
  

   of 
  alfalfa 
  this 
  spring 
  was 
  33 
  inches 
  long."

  Seed 
  for
