CROPS FOR SOIL RENOVATION-Continued 
SUMMER CROPS 
Brabham Cow Pea 
Soy 
p Virginia Brown. (Sow 40 lbs. per acre.) The Soy Bean is 
Dean ^gj^g ^riore generally used as its merits become known. 
The importation of the Soy Bean from the Orient makes it unprofitable 
to grow for commercial beans or for seed, but for early spring planting 
for June cover crop and for green manuring it is very valuable. It 
is hardier than the cow pea and on that account may be planted 
earlier. It is valuable to grow in young vineyards either to be plowed 
under or for green feed for dairy cows. (lb. 25c) (10 lbs. $2.00) 
postpaid. Write for quantity price. 
Whip-Poor-Will Cow Pea 
has been the standard summer cover crop not only here but through¬ 
out the South. It will grow on practically all kinds of soils, is of easy 
culture and has a big, strong, deep root system. A rapid grower, 
shading the soil from excessive heat and leaving no room for weeds. 
As well as being a good cover crop, it may be used for hay, ensilage, 
or pasture. The seeds may be used for stock feed or human con¬ 
sumption. Very drouth resistant. Plant from April 1 to September 1. 
(lb. 25c) (10 lbs. $2.00) postpaid. Write for quantity price. 
(Sow 40 lbs. per acre.) Very similar in 
every respect to Whip-Poor-Will, but is 
resistant to nematode. Few districts are free from nematode and 
while other crops nurse it thus spreading it over wider territory, the 
Brabham will discourage its development and if repeatedly planted 
may eradicate it from the field in which the Brabham is planted, 
(lb. 25c) (10 lbs. $2.00) postpaid. Write for quantity price. 
Seshania acre.) A valuable cover crop for hot 
JcsUdMld sggj-jQpis Qniy^ jggj should be sown in May or June. 
With five or six irrigations a dense, tail growth is obtained in two 
months. Early in August the crop may be plowed under with a disc 
plow and the stalks will rapidly rot. Very worth while cover crop for 
orchard and lettuce land. (lb. 25c) (10 lbs. $2.00) postpaid. Write 
for quantity price. 
BldCksyC B63n 30-40 Ibs. per acre.) This bean is always 
profitable to the grower because it yields 1,500 
to 2,500 pounds per acre without irrigation and on almost any kind of 
soil. It is a good cover crop and soil renovator. The beans find a 
ready market at a fair price. Rabbits will not eat the Blackeye.

AeM FIELD CORN 
Sow 10 to 15 Ibs. per acre — Write for quantity prices. 
Hybrid Errsilage No. 680 S: 
ceptionally good results in western states. The stalks grow from 16 
to 18 feet tall under favorable conditions. We have known of a good 
many crops producing more than 20 tons of silage to the acre. On 
account of the presence of plenty of large ears the silage has a higher 
food value than most open pollinated corn. The stalks should be 
thinned to 12 to 14 inches apart in the row in order to promote a 
good quantity of grain, as this gives food value to the silage. 1 lb. 30c, 
10 Ibs. $2.50, postpaid. 
Yellow Dent Hybrid No. 415 
This’ is a mid-season type 
bearing grain i n about 
110 days from planting. It produces good large ears of yellow 
dent grain. It is a much heavier yielder than the open pollinated 
type and serves either for ensilage or grain purposes. The hybrid 
types of corn have a much stronger root system so are more 
drought resistant and are less apt to blow down during a wind storm 
or to fall over if the ground becomes too wet. The hybrid types of 
corn also, under most conditions, produce a much heavier crop than 
the open pollinated types. It is not recommended that the product of 
the planting of hybrid corn be used again for seed purposes as the 
hybridization work should be carried on for each quantity of seed 
1 lb. 30c, 10 Ibs. $2.50, postpaid. 
This white corn has long been rec- 
Orange County Prolific agnized as the most satisfactory 
silage corn. It was introduced by us in 1911. It is not unusual for 
Orange County Prolific to grow to a height of 18 feet with six to 
nine ears of commercial size to a single stalk, and produce 30 to 35 
tons per acre. (lb. 25c) (10 Ibs. $2.00) postpaid. Write for quantity 
prices. 
A&K4 Pncila/^a Cr\rn This white corn has long been a favor- 
.rtPlvx ensilage v-orn g^d there is no other 
corn we know that will take its place. It is very stalky, stands up 
well and yields a heavy tonnage per acre. Under irrigation and on 
good soil it has produced more ensilage than any other crop. (lb. 25c)

Hiricnrv k^lnn white corn with exceptionally large ker- 
niCIvOry Ixing ^g^y prolific and besides being planted

extensively for grain it is useful for ensilage, and is also very fine for 
hominy purposes. Matures in 110 days. (lb. 25c) (10 Ibs. $2.00) 
postpaid. Write for quantity prices. 
Bin Jim variety of yellow dent corn. The large ears 
Dig >11111 overaging 12 inches in length are very prolific, producing 
an extraordinary heavy acreage yield. It is also very desirable for 
ensilage, as the stalks attain a great height with a big leaf growth.

Squaw Corn (see description page 10) 
WHEAT 
GRAIN 
Early 
Sow 60 pounds per acre. 
Baarf Baart Wheat is the right variety for the in¬ 
terior valleys. Favorable reports have come from San 
Joaquin and Imperial indicating that this variety will yield 20 sacks 
per acre under dry conditions that would impair other crops. Write 
for prices. 
Federarion wheat is gaining in popularity very rapidly 
owing to its heavy yielding qualities and stiff 
short straw. It is a soft white wheat with remarkably plump and 
heavy grain. Write for prices. 
OATS 
Sow 70 to 100 pounds per acre. 
Tpyac RpH (Bust-Proof)—This is one of the few varieties profit¬ 
able to plant here. We have this on hand during the 
planting season. 
Texas Red Oats —Grown in Texas. 
Texas Red Oats —Grown in California. Write for prices. 
CROPS barley 
Sow 60 to 80 pounds per acre. 
Several other plants furnish good winter pasture, but none are so 
valuable as Barley. It affords grazing earlier, and more abundantly, it 
recovers more rapidly after being grazed down. It is more relished by 
stock and more wholesome. It stands up so that stock can eat it with 
less dirt or other objectionable matter, and it is never affected by 
rust. Sown in September it affords good grazing until May, but if 
the stock are taken off in March, a good crop of grain can be har¬ 
vested. Barley sown in an alfalfa field during October will make good 
pasture during the winter when alfalfa is dormant, or it may be 
grown for hay without injury to the alfalfa. 
Bearded Barley and Beardless Barley—write for prices. 
RYE 
Sow 60 pounds per acre. 
Although Rye is sown largely for early winter pastures, green ma¬ 
nuring and a limited acreage for the straw, it should be grown more 
largely for the grain. Write for prices.
