CROTALARIA Spectabilis 
This is truly a marvelous summer cover crop, a yield of 40,000 pounds of green material per acre is not uncommon. The 
humus produced by such a yield is of tremendous value. More Important still, Crotalaria is a legume adding, when turn¬ 
ed under, the equivalent of 800 pounds of Nitrate of Soda per acre (3-year test Florida Experiment Station showed 885 
pounds average). 
Crotalaria has succeeded all over the South, and as far north as Indiana. It is not a host to injurious insects and dis¬ 
eases. It will reseed itself under favorable conditions, but is not a pest and can easily be eradicated. Splendid soil build¬ 
er in orchards, etc. Fine with corn planted in same rows when corn is planted, or in corn and other farm crops at last 
cultivation. It will just about double crop yields following it. 
It is not offered as a feed crop, or hay crop, tho a nearby farmer tells us his mules ate it readily. But it is really too 
valuable as a fertilizer to feed. It will reclaim worn-out hillsides, gullies, etc. 
Thoroughly plow, disc and harrow the soil. Sow after danger of frost is past, when moisture Is present, 10 lbs. per 
acre broadcast or 5 lbs. drilled In 2 foot rows, using scarified seed only as with Serlcea. Firm the soil immediately 
after planting to conserve the moisture, cultivate once or twice when planted in rows.
