CHUFAS OR EARTH ALMONDS 
It’s amazing how very few people In the South actually know 
how valuable Chufas are as a crop to plant for fattening hogs. With 
the Increasing Interest In hogs In the south we expect to see tens of 
thousands of acres of Chufas planted each year. We have known 
experienced hog raisers to pay as high as $.0.00 per bushel for Chufa 
seed In seasons of scarcity, so as to be sure and have a Chufa patch to 
turn their hogs in during the fall months. They knew the real 
value of Chufas. 
The Chufa Is r necles of ground nut, most easily grown, and 
which ought to b- on every Southern farm every year as a hog- 
fattening crop. Can be planted from April to June, cultivation to 
be similar to that for peanuts. The crop is usually matured by Sep¬ 
tember 1st, and can be left in the ground until time to turn the hogs 
in, the hogs doing the harvesting. 
This crop is highly recommended by the Experiment Stations 
of Alabama, Florida, Arkansas and Louisiana. We know of no crop 
that will produce as heavy crops in proportion to the quality of land 
as Chufas, some reports of yields being almost incredible, raneing 
from 200 to 1,000 bushels per acre. Any land suitable for cotton, 
corn, potatoes or peanuts will make profitable crops of Chufas. 
At the Arkansas Experiment Station one-thl d of an acre of 
Chufas supported 3 hogs, averaging 122pounds each, for 16days. The 
gain during the 46 days averaged 66 pounds per hog. In this test 
Cnufas proved practically as good as dry corn for fattening pur¬ 
poses. In the Alabama Station test the yield of Chufas was 172 bushels 
per acre. Chickens and turkeys as well as hogs are very fond of them. 
Make rows 234 feet apart, dropping seed about one foot apart in 
the row and covering about two inches Chufas require from one to 
one and a half pecks per acre. 
Onr stock of seed Chufas is exceptionally fine, the nuts 
or tubers bein^ clean, sound and thoroa^hly dry. We advise 
early orders, for every year wo have to refuse late in the season or¬ 
ders. Pkt,, 10 cents: lb., 35 cents, postpaid; peck (11 pounds), not

JAPANESE SOY OR SOJA BEANS °° right hand side of 
Soja or Soy Beans In full leaf—on the 
left a photograph taken on the Hast¬ 
ings' Farms when the beans were 
about ready for harvest, showingthe 
Immense prolificness of this new for¬ 
age and feeding crop for the South. 
They grow splendidly anywhere in 
the South: are equal to if not superior 
to the cow pea as a soil improver: 
when sown in rows and cultivated 
makes heavier yield per acre and are 
superior to the cow pea in feeding 
value forstock, We expect that with¬ 
in a few years Soja Beaus will be as 
generally planted as cow peas 
throughout the South We expect to 
plant them very largely ourselves 
this year both for soil improvement 
and stock feed They are most nu¬ 
tritious and contain more fattening 
qualities than any other crop. 
Can be sown either broadcast like 
peas at rate of 1 to bushels per 
acre or in drills 3)4 to 4 feet apart 
using 34 bushel per acre.
