A Quick Abundant Pasture at Low 
Seeding Cost 
For a quick developing heavy producing 
pasture for pigs and sheep there is nothing 
better than rape. Can be sown anytime dur¬ 
ing the spring and summer months, and in 
a few weeks produces an abundance of green 
feed. 
Idea! for Growing Stock 
Rape pasture is especially valuable for 
growing pigs and lambs. It is exceedingly rich in protein, the most valuable of all food 
elements. Analysis shows that it contains about 35% to 40% digestible protein. Hogs and: 
sheep thrive on it. Builds muscle and bone. Makes robust, healthy pigs. Prepares them for 
the fattening pen. Requires less dry feed, and makes thriftier, healthier stock. Makes them 
ready for market in less time and at a lower production cost. - 
Various Methods of Sowing 
Every farm where hogs or sheep are raised can' 
grow rape profitably. Odd patches here and there, 
or vacant hog lots, that are otherwise waste land, can 
be utilized to good advantage by sowing to rape. Fre¬ 
quently rape is put in with grain early in the spring.- 
Another common practice is to sow broadcast in corn 
just ahead of last cultivation. Very easy to. grow— 
just disc in lightly. No further tending required. 
Does best on rich, moist land. A crop that seldom 
fails. 
A Clear Profit Crop 
Feed obtained from rape is almost clear profit. 
Usually is sown in combination with other crops or 
on land that is otherwise waste, so that there are no 
extra costs chargeable to tending or land. Cost of 
seed is practically negligible. When you look at it 
that way you will better realize the value of this crop.'

Cow Peas in many ways resent-* 
ble Soy Beans. They, too, are a 
legume like the clover family, ancf 
build up the soil while producing 
a valuable crop. As a hay crop, 
they produce large yields of ex¬ 
cellent feed, rich in protein. Stock 
relish Cow Pea hay and thrive 
on it. 
For thin, sandy soils plant Cow Peas. 
If plowed under green will do wonders to 
restore fertility. A common practice with 
many farmers and truckers is to plant in

removed. They will still make a heavy 
growth for plowing under in the fall.
