PEANUTS 
WHEN TO PLANT—Cow-peas can be planted in May, June or 
July, at the rate of from one to one and a half bushels per acre. 
Plant with a grain drill or in rows 24 to 
36 inches apart, and cultivate two or three 
times—bigger crops are often made when 
grown in rows. They may also be put on 
a grain stubble with a disc drill without 
plowing. If cut when the pods are turn¬ 
ing yellow the hay cures easier and 
more rapidly than if cut earlier. Leave 
in the swath till well wilted on top. 
An application of 300 lbs. acid phos¬ 
phate per acre will materially increase 
the yield. 
1235—THE WHIPPOORWILL — Also 
known as speckled. The seeds are buff, 
brown, or grey, depending on type, and 
are speckled; they are spoken of as bush peas, but will make vines 
when planted on rich land, on poor soil they produce few vines 
and many peas. The plants grow upright, two to five feet tall- 
half bushy or semi-erect. The Whippoorwill is the most pop¬ 
ular general purpose stock pea for either seed or hay. Sow 
broadcast one bushel to the acre for hay or drill 10 pounds to 
the acre in rows 3 to 4 feet apart, cultivate as you do corn, if 
wanted for seed or to gather and sell as green shelled peas. 
There are about 4,000 seed in one pound; they mature in about 
90 days. y 2 lb., 15c; 1 lb., 20c; 2 lbs., 35c; 1 gal., 65c; 1 pk., $1.15 
1238— NEW ERA—The seed are buff, thickly speckled with blue 
—an early maturing upright growing variety, very prolific pro¬ 
ducer of peas, small vines cure quickly, splendid for hay. Seed 
are smaller than Whippoorwills and it does not require as many 
to plant an acre. Sow broadcast % of a bushel to an acre for 
hay—drill 8 pounds to an acre for seed or to gather green and 
shell for market. They mature in about 80 days. There are 
about 5000 seed in one pound. 
y 2 lb., 15c; 1 lb., 20c; 2 lbs., 35c; 1 gal., 65c; 1 pk., $1.15 
1239— BLACK—Seeds jet black, low growing, viny or running, 
making a fine growth of vines and leaves—shy seeder, splendid 
land improver, most valuable as a forage crop; used also as a 
general purpose pea. Plant in rows of corn 8 pounds to acre, 
same amount if drilled in rows 3 to 4 feet apart for seed. If 
broadcast for hay mix some upright-growing pea with them to 
hold vines off the ground when cutting. There are about 2,600 
seed in one pound; mature in about 120 days. 
% lb., 15c; 1 lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 30c; 1 gal., 70c; 1 pk., $1.25 
1236— CLAY—The seed are buff colored, medium size, the plant 
is large, vigorous growing and of vining or running habit, pods 
lare large and yellowish. The Clay pea is used mostly for soil 
improving or green manuring, especially in sugar cane growing 
section of the South. Sow broadcast % of a bushel to an acre, 
for hay or turning under—drill 10 pounds to the acre in 3 to 4 
foot rows on poor soil for seed. There are about 3,500 seed to 
one pound; they mature in about 110 days. 
y 2 lb., 15c; 1 lb., 20c; 2 lbs., 35c; 1 gal., 65c; 1 pk., $1.15 
1240— RED RIPPER—Seed are red, it is a vigorous growing vin¬ 
ing pea. Like the Clay or Black, makes fine yield of long vines. 
Shy seeder, very popular where known. Planted mostly for soil 
improving and in mixtures for hay. Sow broadcast % bushel 
to acre for hay or to turn under—10 pounds to acre in 3 to 4 
foot rows for seed. There are about 3,900 seed in one pound; 
they mature in about 110 days. 
% lb., 15c; 1 lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 35c; 1 gal., 70c; 1 pk., $1.25 
1237— MIXED PEAS—For hay and soil improving, these mix¬ 
tures consist of upright and vining peas—the upright growing 
peas, such as Whippoorwill, New Era or Soy Beans (when 
used) hold the vining or running peas such as Black, Clay and 
Red Rippers, off the ground, which makes it much easier to cut 
for hay. We sell more mixed peas for hay than all other vari¬ 
eties combined. Broadcast from one to two bushels to an acre; 
ready to cut for hay in about 90 days.

FACTS ABOUT COW-PEAS 
Pound for pound, cow-pea hay is as valuable as clover hay. 
It is nearly equal in value to alfalfa and wheat bran. 
It contains four times as much digestible protein as timothy 
hay. Horses and mules need no grain through the winter when 
fed cured cow-pea hay.

CULTURE—Plant the shelled nut in May or early in June, 
dropping the nuts 8 to 10 inches apart in 2V 2 to 3 foot rows and 
cover 1 to 2 inches deep. Cultivate thor¬ 
oughly until the nuts begin to form. ^ £7 
When harvesting, loosen the roots with a 
plow, pull the vines with the nuts at¬ 
tached, allow them to dry, stack around 
a stake, turning the nuts inward. 
1177— PEANUTS (Spanish)—They can be 
grown closer than most varieties, are 
more easily cultivated and gathered., as 
the nuts, which are clustered around the 
base of the plant, cling firmly to the roots. 
Price—1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.25; 
15 lbs., $1.65. 
1178— PEANUTS (Term. Red Running) — 
The finest large variety grown; similar 
to Spanish Peanuts, but the pods are 
much larger and longer, well adapted to all soils. The pods, 
usually contain from three to four nuts, which are very rich 
and highly flavored. Price—1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 80c; 10 lbs., $1.35; 
15 lbs., $1.85.

BUCHANAN’S State Certified POTATOES 
Certified potatoes must pass through field inspection by the 
Department of Agriculture and must be true to variety, type 
and free from wart, powdery scab and late blight. It pays to 
plant Certified Seed Potatoes. 
They should also be treated with Semesan Bel before planting. 
Treat Your Potatoes With Semesan Bel—See Index. 
The modern superior way of disinfecting seed potatoes is with 
Semesan Bel, the instantaneous dip, easily used without ex¬ 
pensive equipment. It does away with long-time soaking of the 
seed and effectively coats them with a disinfectant which com¬ 
monly remains on the seed piece throughout the season. Write 
for Semesan Bel Potato Booklet. See also page 66.
