Do not plant ordinary gin-run cotton seed. Plant the best seed—it will 
result in a better yield.

caused by seed-borne 
and certain soil-borne 
organisms and seed rot¬ 
ting. 
2— Reduces damage caused 
by angular leaf spot, an- 
thracnose and boll rot. 
3— Makes possible earlier 
planting and produces 
heavier stands. 
4— Generally produces 
heavier yields of better 
quality.

CANADA FIELD PEAS 
Plant during the months of October and 
November, and again in the early spring. 
They improve the soil by gathering and stor¬ 
ing nitrogen. Yield heavy crops that may be 
grazed or made into hay, that stock eat 
greedily and thrive on. Grows 4 to 6 feet 
high, but can be grazed when 6 to 10 inches 
high. Pasturing the Peas makes them stool 
out better. It is a good idea when sowing 
the Peas to mix a bushel of oats, barley, or 
wheat with 50 pounds of Peas per acre. This 
makes a fine mixture and makes good hay. 
If sown alone, sow about 75 pounds per acre, 
broadcast. Crop of this kind is splendid to 
plow under for green manure. Also used as 
a table Pea and is only excelled by the 
English Pea. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 40c, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $1.75. Ask for prices 
on larger quantities.

AUSTRIAN PEAS 
Maintaining soil fertility is one of the 
farmer’s most perplexing problems. This 
wonder plant makes a heavy vine growth 
that will decay very rapidly when plowed 
under. 
As a cover crop, it only needs ten to twelve 
pounds of growth to each 10 feet square, to 
plow under for fertilizer. It therefore can be 
planted in South Texas and Louisiana as early 
as the first of January; in North Texas, Janu¬ 
ary 15 to February 1. Other crops planted 
on the same soil, following the plowing under 
of Austrian Peas, will show a tremendous 
increase in yield. Cattle, sheep and hogs will 
graze on a field of Austrian Peas and enjoy 
it. A greater tonnage of hay can be obtained 
when planted with oats, the oats acting as a 
support for the peas and encouraging their 
growth. 
The most economical manner is to plant 
Austrian Peas in rows. In doing this, one 
should plant in three-foot rows such as in 
planting corn, then turn back and plant be¬ 
tween the rows, thus giving you 8-inch rows 
when finished. It requires only 30 pounds to 
plant an acre in this way. 
If wanted for pasture or hay, sow broadcast, 
60 pounds to the acre; also 60 pounds to the 
acre when sown with an ordinary grain drill. 
If you desire to sow with small grain such 
as oats, we suggest sowing one or two bushels 
of oats to the acre about as deep as the drill 
will put the oats, and then plant back over the 
oats with the Peas at the rate of 30 to 40 
pounds to the acre, putting the Peas just 
deep enough to cover good, without disturbing 
the oats. This system of planting is neces¬ 
sary, as a mixture of peas and oats will not 
mix evenly enough to drill out uniformly. 
Sow in fall or early spring. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 
40c, postpaid. Not prepaid, lb., 15c; 20 lbs., 
$1.50. Ask for prices on larger quantities. 
The Watson Cotton, on account of its many 
desirable characteristics, has now become one 
of the most popular varieties grown in the 
Southwest. Without a doubt, it is the easiest 
picking cotton in Texas. Many farmers say 
the difference in picking, alone, is worth the 
price of the seed. 
The Watson Cotton has been bred, grown 
and developed, from the famous Mebane 
Cotton, in Dallas County, Texas, by Ferris 
Watson, a Cotton Breeder of more than 
twenty-five years’ experience. 
Not since the original Mebane was first 
placed on the market, more than a quarter 
century ago, has any cotton been received 
with so much favor as the Watson Cotton. 
No other cotton has proven as well adapted 
to the different soils and sections. 
Watson Cotton is early fruiting with light 
foliage. It usually matures its crop from one 
to two weeks earlier than other standard va¬ 
rieties. The remarkable heavy yielding quali¬ 
ties no doubt are accounted for by the fact 
that its earliness, alone, enables it to mature 
its heavy crop of large five-lock bolls before 
the insects have time to destroy them. Its 
long, penetrating roots enable it to stand 
drouth remarkably well. Its staple usually 
runs from 1 inch to 1-1/16 inches. Under 
normal conditions 1,200 to 1,300 pounds of seed 
cotton will produce a bale of 500 to 525 
pounds of lint. 
Watson Pedigreed Seed are ginned on ex¬ 
clusive gins, where no other cotton is ginned. 
The seed are cared for in the most modern 
pedigreed seed plant in the South, and are put 
up in 3-bushel bags. We carry a large stock 
of these seed and can make prompt shipment 
of any quantity desired. 
Price, $2.25 per bushel, freight prepaid to 
points in Texas.
