Dwarf Essex Rape 
Yields over 10 tons of green forage per acre that for fattening is 
claimed to be worth, pound for pound, double the value of clovers. 
Good not only for sheep but ideal for hogs and splendid for all live 
stock and poultry, makes wonderful table greens. An acre of Rape will 
easily pasture twenty hogs for two months. Allow them to remain a 
short time the first day, increase the time each succeeding day, allow¬ 
ing stock access to salt. 
Sow in February, March, April, September and October, broadcast 
6 to 10 pounds per acre, or in drills 18 inches to 2 feet apart; when 
£rown in drills and cultivated occasionally, the leaves will cover the 
intervening space. Matures in 6 to 8 weeks. Grows best in cool weather. 
Sowing 5 to 6 lbs. of Rape per acre in corn at last working has been 
found very profitable also.
