MONEY SAVING CROPS FOR YOU 
The crops on the farm may be roughly dirided into two classes, the money-making or cash crops and the 
money-saving crops. The South need never fear as to cash crops. The real vital proposition up to all of 
us in the South in the year 1918 and every year is the production of money-saving crops so that the almost 
fabulous number of dollars that come into the South every year will stay here. There can be no sound, per- 
manent farm prosperity on any farm unless there is a proper balance between the cash crops and the money- 
saving crops. They are equally important. 
White {No. 628) and Red Kaffir (No. 627) Corn 
drought resisting qualities. Grow 4 to 5 feet high, are very stocky and leafy ; valuable alike for forage and 
grain. Plant from March to July, in rows 3 feet apart, drilling seed thinly like sorghum. If wanted for 
grain, principally, let heads mature on the stalk and then the whole stalk may be cut for fodder after the 
seed heads have been cut. If wanted for fodder, mainly, cut down the stalks when first seed heads begin 
to appear, leaving 4 to 5 inches of stubble. From this stubble will spring a second growth, making an ex- 
cellent crop of forage and a fair crop of grain. Stalks keep green and juicy to the last. For poultry feed 
and small grain it is unexcelled. Two varieties, the White and Red ; the only difference that we can see is 
that of the color of the grains. We can supply either at 10 cents per packet; 25 cents per pound, or five 
pounds for $1.00; postpaid. In quantity, not prepaid, about 10 cents per pound. Write for prices. 
lAMiealAm Oahh /Ma Similar to Kaffir Corn, but even more resistant to drought, hav- 
jJVrUactldll wUni ^IIUi been brought to this country from the arid plains of Pales- 
tine. Sow like Kaffir Corn or S'orghum, and no matter how hot or dry it gets you will have grain and for- 
age. Grain pure white and rather flattened. Five or six pounds will plant an acre. The yield of grain 
from the large seed heads will largely exceed that of corn on the same land. Packet, 10 cents; pound, 30 
cents; postpaid. In quantity, not prepaid, 15 cents per pound.

FETERITA — A Sure Drought Beater 
/ Ua A fine forage plant for the South, brought from Egypt in 1907. Similar to Kaffir Corn in gen- 
^liUi vOOy ^j-al habit, but grows a little taller and produces larger heads, standing erect; white seed and 
early maturity. Its greatest value, however, is its great ability to resist drought. In the extreme heat and 
drought in the Western States three years ago when corn burned up completely and all the varieties of sor- 
ghum and Kaffir Corn largely failed, Feterita came through practically without damage, making a splen- 
did crop of both grain and forage. Sown in rows like Kaffir Corn it requires 6 to 8 pounds per acre. Why 
don’t you try at least a small planting of Feterita this year? Packet, 10 cents; pound, 30 cents; postpaid. 
In lots of 10 pounds or over, not prepaid, about 12 cents per pound. Write for quantity prices.

Plant These Crops S?.!' “mf 
terita, etc., all have a real place on Southern 
farms as forage and grain producers. They grow 
easy and produce much under conditions that 
ruin other forage and grain crops. Plant them. 
SORGHUM or CANE SEED for FORAGE 
Recleaned-Free from Trash and Dirt gyj? s^ofghum i^the 
South for forage and hay crops becomes more general. Can be sown either alone or 
mixed with cowpeas. Planted in drills for syrup, use 8 to 10 pounds per acre, or 
about a bushel (50 pounds) broadcasted for forage; if sown broadcast with peas use 
about % bushel (25 lbs.) with one bushel of peas. It pays to fertilize sorghum heav- 
ily, the increased yield more than paying for the fertilizer. Every bushel of sorghum 
which we send out is thoroughly recleaned and free from trash, stems and dirt.

Yellow Mlio-li/lalze (No. 584) 8 to 12^eet high, stooling h^vily. Can 
be cut several times during season. Large seed heads give a crop equal to corn. 
Plant 10 pounds per acre. Pound, 25 cents; 5 pounds, $1.00; postpaid. In ten-pound 
lots or over, not prepaid, about 10 cents per pound. 
JAPANESE SOY OR SOJ A BEANS 
of Soja or Soy Beans, a photograph taken on the Hastings Farms when the seed 
beans were about ready for harvest, showing the immense prolificness of this new 
forage crop for the South. They grow splendidly anywhere in the South ; are equal 
to if not superior to the cowpea as a soil improver; when sown in rows and culti- 
vated make heavier yields per acre and are superior to the cowpea in feeding value. 
Within a few years Soja Beans will be almost as generally planted as cowpeas. 
They are most nutritious and contain more fattening qualities than any other crop. 
Sow either broadcast like peas at rate of 1 to 1^ bushels per acre or in drills 3% 
to 4 feet apart, using % bushel per acre.

Order Your Seeds Early 
That is the best advice. The railroads 
of the entire country are so overloaded 
with freight due to war conditions that no freight or express shipments movq 
with usual promptness. The only safe way is to order seeds well in advance of 
planting time so as to insure them being in hand at planting time.
