MUNG BEANS-THE GREAT NEW CROP 
Hastings’ Mung Beans Prove Big Success All Over The South. In 1921, Hastings introduced a new crop to the South, a 
crop that is destined lyo be planted on practically every farm. Eighteen thousand planters paid 75 Cents apiece for a “starting 
packet” of seeds in 1921 because we said it was a worth-while crop. The new crop was grow n in every Southern State last year and 
we have yet to hear of a failure. It grows well under most any condition and on any soil that will grow anything to advantage. It 
beats cowpeas, velvet beans, soja beans or any other annual leguminous plant. It sprouts its seeds very quickly and surely, grows oflf 
fast and makes an enormous amount of hay, forage, grain and roots jammed full of nitrogen-gathering bacteria to build up your soU. 
SEE PAGES 92 AND 93! Mung Beans are taking the South by Storm. Two crops a season in the lower South. Plant from 
April to August. They mature in 90 days. Get your start by all means this year.
