Plant Rape for Hog Pasture 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Rape is one of the most valuable forage 
plants, its many uses being considered, that 
has ever been introduced into the United 
States. The use of Rape has grown in a 
few years from a few thousand pounds of 
seed used, to thousands of tons of seed per 
year. Until lately. Rape has been grown 
mostly for sheep pasture, but in recent years 
people have learned that is equally valu¬ 
able as a forage crop for cattle, hogs, and 
poultry. The young, tender leaves of Rape 
make fine greens for table use and are pre¬ 
ferred by some to mustard and other greens. 
To those of our customers who are not fa¬ 
miliar with Rape, we will say that it grows- 
somewfcat like a cabbage plant before the 
cabbage begins to head up; however, the 
Rape makes a larger plant, often 18 inches 
to 2 feet high, under favorable weather con¬ 
ditions and on good soil Rape will produce 
from 10 to 25 tons of green forage per acre. 
It can be grown in the fall as it stands our 
winters without killing; it can also be sown 
in the spring with good results. Sow in drills 
at the rate of 6 to 8 pounds per acre. Lb., 
25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Not prepaid, Ib.,.

SEED WHEAT 
For wheat, Ceresan is 
rery effective in the con¬ 
trol of bunt or stinking 
■>mut and is recommended 
for the control of seed- 
borne flag smut. Ceresan is 
•i very fine, gray dust, the 
chemical constituents of 
which do not cause cor¬ 
rosion of metals. Therefore 
Ceresan should not clog the 
drill nor cause injury to 
its metal parts as is the tendency of some
