FARM AND GRASS SEEDS—Continued 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE —This makes an indispen¬ 
sable green food for sheep and hogs. It can be pastured 
8 weeks after sowing. The growth is enormous. If one 
has the available land, it is good to sow in succession, 
as the stock eat it close to the ground, and it will not 
stand pasturing any great length of time. This, of 
course, depends upon the number of head turned on an 
acre. Sow 6 pounds per acre broadcast from April 1st 
to October 1st. It produces enormous crops and is an 
ideal green manure. 1 lb. 10c; 5 lbs. 40c. 
KOREAN LESPEDEZA —In feeding value it is 
about equal to alfalfa. It grows anywhere, on acid soils; 
waste lands, worn out gravelly soils and galled hillsides, 
where nothing else will grow. Reseeds itself every year, 
but is easily killed out by a cultivated crop. The strong 
root growth penetrates about 8 inches deep, making it 
highly drought resistant. A harrowing before sowing is 
the only preparation necessary. When sown alone 
broadcast 20 lbs. to the acre during latter part of March 
or early in April. Do not cover the seed. 1 lb. 20c; 
5 lbs. 90c; 25 lbs. $4.00; 100 lbs. $14.00. 
WINTER, or HAIRY VETCHES (Vlcla Villlosa)— 
Sow from August 1st to October 1st, 1 bushel per acre 
when sown alone. If sown with rye or wheat, use 30 
lbs. Vetch with 30 lbs. rye or wheat. A great soil im¬ 
prover. 1 lb. 12c; 100 lbs. $10.00.
