FIELD SEED (Continued) 
WHITE KAFFIR CORN 
Sow 10 pounds for grain and 1 bushel per acre for forage. 
Kaffir Corn has become more valuable every year because 
of its drought resisting qualities. Grows 4 to 5 feet high, 
very stocky and leafy; valuable alike for forage and grain. 
Plant from March to August, in rows 3 feet apart, drilling 
seed thinly like sorghum. If wanted for grain, principally, let 
heads mature on the stalk and then the whole stalk may be 
cut for fodder after the seed heads have been cut. If wanted 
for fodder, mainly, cut down the stalks when the first seed 
heads begin to appear, leaving 4 to 5 inches of stubble. From 
this stubble will spring a second growth, making an excellent 
crop for forage and a fair crop of grain. Stalks keep green 
and juicy to the last. For poultry feed and small grain it is 
unexcelled.

Not prepaid, 10 lbs. $1.10; 25 lbs. $2.00; 100 lbs. $7.00. 
CHICKEN CORN—WHITE SEEDED (Egyptian Wheat) 
Sow 8 to 10 pounds per acre. 
This is a sorghum with extra large, loose, bushy heads, 
covered thickly with small grains. If left standing, the grains 
drop off in a scattering manner, and the chickens gather 
them. If grown on a large scale, the large, well filled heads 
can be cut at maturity and fed to the poultry as desired. It 
is best to sow the seed thinly in three to four foot rows, leav¬ 
ing two to three plants to every three feet of row. If planted 
in small batches it is best to plant near the chicken houses 
so chickens can feed on the seeds as they fall. White Seeded 
Chicken Corn, with ease of growth, sure crop and heavy 
yields, will go a long way towards solving the poultry feed 
problem. It is the cheapest and best chicken feed you can 
grow.

Not prepaid, 10 lbs. $1.25; 25 lbs. $2.75; 100 lbs. $10.00. 
COWPEAS 
Sow 1 bushel per acre. 
Cowpeas may be sown any time from March to September 
broadcast or in drills 3 to 4 feet apart. From 1 to 2 bushels 
per acre are used in broadcasting and from 2 to 3 pecks for 
seeding in drills, or considerably less of the small-seeded 
varieties. Inoculate with Nitragin. (See page 55.)

Field Varieties of Cowpeas 
Suwannee. This variety is a much better hay producer than 
any of the old varieties. Besides its high yielding qualities, 
the Suwannee holds its foliage long and continues growth 
after other varieties have lost their leaves. This makes it 
possible to postpone hay-making during wet weather, or at 
times of emergencies. The variety ranks with Iron and Brab¬ 
ham in resistance to root-knot. 
Iron. This variety is one of the most valuable Cowpeas in 
cultivation on account of its disease-resisting qualities. It is 
entirely immune from wilt and root-knot. Medium early, will 
stand more wet weather than most other varieties, and is a 
very heavy viner. Like Brabham, it is of erect growth, vigor¬ 
ous, prolific and holds its leaves better than other varieties. 
Brabham. The Brabham Cowpea is absolutely immune 
from wilt and root-knot which attack some other varieties, 
makes fine, vigorous growth of vines, is early, and, where 
planted in March, April, or May, two good cuttings of hay 
can be made. 
Whippoorwill. Very early, prolific, makes good growth of 
vines, and is a good variety for general purposes. 
Black. Especially well adapted to sandy soils where it 
makes a luxuriant growth and a fine crop of peas. It is a 
favorite for growing in corn. 
Mixed. The advantage claimed for sowing Mixed Cowpeas 
is that they produce an exceedingly heavy growth of vines 
for forage or 6oil improvement. 
Suwannee Cowpeas 
A New Variety Noted for Its High Production of Hay 
Table Varieties of Cowpeas 
Extra Early Ramshorn Blackeye Peas. This is the earliest 
maturing large Blackeye pea. Matures sweet tender peas 
two months after planting and continues to bear if green 
peas are kept picked. The prolific heavy yield, along with 
attractive appearance of the large mature peas, extreme 
earliness, and good keeping qualities make it a most popular 
Blackeye pea for Florida trucking. The delicious flavor and 
large long pods which are easily shelled make it very popu¬ 
lar with home gardeners. The vine produces large leaves 
with a very vigorous growth.
