Cow Peas 
We believe that Cow Peas have done more for the up¬ 
building of the soils for the South than any crop. Most of 
us know of the rich sugar cane lands of Louisiana. Yet, 
the long headed sugar planters, the men who own those 
rich lands plant carload after carload of peas on those 
rich lands. Why? Just to keep them rich and make them 
richer. Hundreds of bushels of them are planted annually 
for soil Improvement on the “Hastings Farms.” We 
never let a corn crop go by without sowing peas. There 
are several hundred tons of cow' peas and crab grass hay 
baled up on the “Hastings’F'arms” now. Plant peas 
and plenty of them. Plenty of pea hay means full rations 
for your stock and soil. Plant-Peas'.

The Lower Sonth’s 
Greatest Forage and 
We have grown the Velvet Bean personally for nearly twenty 
years and we know of no plant so valuable as the Velvet Beau 
_ for the Lower South (meaning by Lower South the Southi rii 
half of States such as Georgia. Mississippi and Texas). Around Atlanta and in this latitude it will not mature a 1- 
though if planted in May will make a solid mat of foliage and vine from waist to shoulder high. Generally speak¬ 
ing, it grows so rank that it's impossible to cure it for hay. The general practice in Florida is to turn stock in and 
let them eat it down to stubble. It needs a full 
season of growth to get its greatest value. Some 
growers let it rot down during the winter figuring 
that in soil Improvement a good crop of 'V’elvet 
Beans turned under is equal to a ton of average 
guano or commercial fertilizer. We have never seen 
any crop that makes such a rank growth. For stock 
feed it is rich in both fat and muscle forming quali¬ 
ties. One crop of Velvet Beans turned under is con¬ 
sidered equal in value to 2 or 3 crops of Cow Peas. 
Illustrating its Immense yield, the Florida Experi¬ 
ment Station reported one yield of 18,000 pounds (9 
tons) of dried forage per acre. Plantln April orMay
