COW PEAS MULFORD CULTURE 
Cow Peas will make a good growth under very 
} unfavorable conditions and on poor soil. Howewer, 
as their merit as a soil improver lies in their abil- 
ity to gather nitrogen, it stands to reason that the 
greatest benefit will be derived where the soil is 
put in good condition and fertile. Applications of 
| lime to the soil are very beneficial also... The seed 
may be sown at any time in the spring when it has 
become warm enough to plant corn, and from that 
on to within about two months of frost time. It is 
well to remember the plant develops best in warm 
weather. Seed may be sown broadcast or with a 
wheat drill, using one to one and one-half bushels 
per acre.

poorwills, New Era, Mixed, Black Cows, Black

This is one of the most valuable forage crops for 
ay 2. aemeeerres the South, but requires to be sown in the fall for 
Hairy, or Winter Vetch. best results. Can be sown any time from July to 
October. Succeeds admirably sown at the last 
working of corn or cotton with oats or wheat. Should be sown at the rate of twenty to thirty pounds to the 
acre with one bushel of Oats or three-fourths bushel of Wheat. The Oats or Wheat help to hold the Vetch 
off the ground, enabling it to make a beter growth. 
WHITE SPRING OATS 
For a spring oat for seeding in March and April, the White Spring Oats are unquestionably the best and 
surest yielding of spring oats, the advantages claimed for it being that it is earlier to mature, free from 
rust, healthy, clean and vigorous growth of straw and makes a remarkable good yield of clean, bright, 
heavy grain. On account of its earliness to mature, it is one of the surest cropping varieties for the South. 
SOY, or SOJA BEANS 
WILSON EARLY BLACK.—A very prolific variety, and one of the best where a quick, early variety 
is desired. Average height on good land is about three feet. 
MAMMOTH YELLOW—The latest ~et the most ex- 
tensively grown for both beans and forag. both of which 
it yields in great abundance. It grows more than 3 feet 
high, is erect in growth, and can be cut with a mower. 
Particularly valuable for Virginia and farther south for 
both beans and forage, and widely grown farther north 
for forage. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
This crop is very highly recommended for pasturage 
for sheep and cattle, furnishing most rich and nutritious 
pasturage within six to eight weeks from the time of sow- 
ing. The fattening properties of Rape are said to be very 
much better than those of clover. Sow three to five 
pounds per acre in drills; six to eight pounds per acre 
broadcast. 
BUCKWHEAT 
NEW JAPANESE.—This new sort has proven to be 
much earlier and more productive than any other variety. 
Grains very large and rich brown color. It excels all in 
yield and earliness. 
EARLY AMBER SORGHUM 
Furnishes a large yield of most nutritious forage, 
which can be fed either green or cured, and will yield 
two or three cuttings a year, stooling out thicker each 
time it is cut. It grows 10 to 12 feet high. Sow broad- 
cast for forage at the rate of 1 to 1% bushels per acre ; ; 
in drills 3%4 to 4 feet apart. Dwarf Essex Rape,
