DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
This splendid crop has at last come into its own — larger and larger acreage 
being planted every year. The reason — it is a most excellent pasture and green 
forage crop for cattle, hogs, sheep and stock. It is high In feeding value, pro¬ 
ducing an abundant flow of milk in milch cows (feed rape to milch cows after 
milking, not before, to avoid slight cabbage flavor to milk). 
Experiments show that Rape is a more efficient fattener and more economical 
feed for hogs than Alfalfa, Clover or Blue Grass. It will stand more cold weather 
and last longer in the fall than any of the grasses. One acre of Rape will pasture 
8 to 10 sheep, other animals in proportion. Turn stock in when plants are 8 inches 
high. To avoid possibility of bloating, accustom stock to Rape gradually, pastur¬ 
ing after dew is off. Feed dairy cattle and sheep a full feed of grain for the first 
week or two before pasturing Rape, and provide salt at all times. 
Rape can be cut and fed green. Cut about 4 inches above ground, first time 
when plants are a foot high, just enough for a day’s feed at a time. When you 
expect to cut and feed green. Rape should be planted in rows and cultivated 
2 to 4 times. 
Rape will grow 1% to 3 feet tall—grows very rapidly — ready to use in 8 weeks. 
Prefers a rich mellow soil, will do well on most fairly good soils except sand or 
stiff clays, needs plenty of moisture to start. Plow deeply, disk well and harrow 
thoroughly. Can be sown with spring grain or in combination with clover. Sow in 
drills 4 to 6 pounds—broadcast 10 to 15 pounds per acre, about 1 inch deep. 
Sow from August through April. 
Seed Peanuts 
Prepare the ground well, laying off in rows with a shovel plow; the rows 
should be 3i/^ feet apart, and put 2 kernels to the hill, hills about 1 foot apart. 
One and one-half bushels of unshelled nuts will seed an acre. Crack or break the 
hull before planting. 
TENITZlSSZaZ: IjOlTG- RED. Especially adapted to this section. The nuts 
contain three large kernels in each and are enormously productive. 
IMPROVED WHITE VIRGIHIA. These are uniformly large, and when 
grown on light sandy land will produce nuts of that bright attractive appear¬ 
ance demanded by the best trade. 
SPANISH PEANUTS. Although not as large as other kinds there is no peanut 
grown that so entirely fills the pod or can compare with it in sweetness and 
flavor. 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
Jerusalem Artichoke 
Fine for fattening hogs. They grow just like 
Irish potatoes. Every hog raiser should grow Arti¬ 
chokes ; the hogs will harvest them wtihout cost. 
Plant in 4-ft. rows any time in March or April, 
dropping the cut pieces 18 inches apart in the row. 
They will produce 200 to 300 bushels to the acre. 
It requires 3 bushels to plant 1 acre.

Ijespedeza, Oats, Rye, Wheat,

which insures a uniform flow 
of seed. Each, $2.50; by parcel 
post, $2.70. 
ABRUZZI RYE. A distinct variety, far better than any other, in that 
it grows very much faster and stools much heavier, which means doubling 
the amount of grazing on an acre. You can start grazing earlier after 
sowing and keep it up longer. Three pecks to 1 bushel abruzzi plants an 
acre against 5 to 6 pecks of other Rye—this makes Abruzzi cost less to 
plant, yet you get more in return. 
Winter Barley 
Sow from September 1st to November 15th, 1% bushels per acre. 
BEARDED. The Standard for years in the South as a grazing crop and 
much relished by all stock. 
BEARDEESS. Bred from bearded and most of beards removed, usually 
about 85 percent beardless, which makes it beter to cut in dough stage 
for feed. Equally good for grazing.
