Tests of the nutritive value of Soja Beans demonstrate that they are decidedly superior to cow peas for feeding purposes, and 
we do not wonder that the demand each year is increasing enormously. It is now recognized as one of the most important forage 
crops for the South, as well as a nitrogen gatherer of the greatest value. The plant thrives in hot, dry weather and does equally 
well on heavy and light soils. Either broadcast or in drills from May to July, Sow broadcast 1 to IV 2 bushels to the acre of 
the large seeded varieties and % bushel to 3 pecks of the small seeded varieties. In drills sow about 1 peck of the large varieties 
and about % peck of the small varieties.

the soil. Sow in June or July, one 
inch deep, in rows 3 feet wide, leaving 12 inches between the beans 
in the row, and give one cultivation. The vines make such remark¬ 
able growth that they soon cover the ground with dense foliage. 
In more northerly sections where the pods will not mature, the 
vines make good pasturage for cattle, (Write for prices). 
While generally grown in the North 
or West, Navy Beans can be grown 
successfully in the South. As weevil 
are likely to attack Beans harvested 
in warm weather, they should never 
be sown before July 1st. Sow 1(4 inches deep from July 1st to the 
middle of August in rows 3 feet wide, leaving 8 inches between the 
beans. In Virginia and the Carolinas, they are often used for 
replanting missing cotton hills. Lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 90c; 10 lbs., $1.70, 
postpaid. (Write for prices on larger quantities).

Quite simi¬ 
lar to Mammoth Yellow, but earlier. 
A good sort to mix with cow peas,

that yields a fine crop of hay, and is 
well liked in the South. Height 4(4

60 lbs. to the bushel; 30 lbs. per acre. 
BEANS, VELVET 
BROOM CORN 
40 lbs. per bushel; 6 lbs. per acre. 
(95 days). The best variety, growing about 8 feet 
rOcil. high, with a permanent green color, and is prac¬ 
tically free from crooked, irregular brush. Sow from May to July, 
one inch deep, in rows 3(4 feet apart, thinning 6 to 9 inches in 
Everg 
the row, and cultivate as ordinary corn. To keep the brush in good 
shape, it is necessary to bend the heads down about the time the 
seeds mature. Lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.20; 10 lbs., $2.25, postpaid. (Write

CHUFAS 
15 pounds per acre. 
Spanish Chufas or Earth Almonds are a special nut grass largely 
grown in some sections for feeding to hogs, for which purpose they 
are highly recommended. After the crop is grown, hogs may be 
turned into the field, thus saving the labor of harvesting and 
feeding. Chufas are best on light soil. They should be planted' in 
drills two and a half to three feet apart, dropping from three 
CROTALARIA 
Very heavy yields are obtained from Crotalaria; green weight of 
35(X) pounds per acre is not uncommon. A remarkable cover crop and 
soil builder and this is the only purpose of the crop, as it is not 
recommended for livestock. The actual cash value of nitrogen 
returned to the soil is estimated about $20.00 per acre, and besides 
the humus is of untold value—increases the water-holding capacity 
of the soil and prevents erosion. Many report the doubling of farm 
to five Chufas in a hill fifteen to twenty inches apart, cover 
about two inches, keep clean and stir the soil occasionally. 
Level culture is the best. They are very productive, nutritious and 
fattening. They can be planted in May, June, or early in July. 
1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.00; 10 lbs., $1.60, postpaid. (Write for prices on

crops when following Crotalaria. It succeeds well in all the southern 
states, can easily be eradicated, and will grow on sweet or sour 
soil. Requires no lime, inoculation, fertilization or cultivation. Plant 
as soon as danger of frost is past for maximum growth. Later 
plantings, however, have shown good results. Plant 10 lbs. per 
acre broadcast, or 6 lbs. if drilled. Our Seed is scarified and germ¬ 
inates readily. Lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.00; 10 lbs., $1.85.
