DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
An excellent pasture and green forage 
crop for cattle, hogs, sheep and stock. It is 
high in feeding value, producing an abun¬ 
dant 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 effi¬ 
cient 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 grad¬ 
ually, pasturing after dew is off. Feed dairy 
cattle and sheep a full feed of grain for the 
WINTER BARLEY 
"TENNESSEE BEARDLESS" 
The various experiment stations have been 
working on a good beardless winter barley 
for years and now seem to have realized 
their dreams. A fine grain producer of fine 
feeding value, and one of the best pasturing 
crops. Is combined with crimson clover with 
splendid results, both for pasture and seed 
production. Both mature same time and 
seed are easily separated. A profitable com¬ 
bination. 
JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE 
Fine for fattening hogs. They grow just like 
Irish potatoes. Every hog raiser should grow 
Artichokes; the hogs will harvest them with¬ 
out cost. Plant in 4-foot 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. 
BUCKWHEAT 
Sow 3 pecks to 1 bushel to the acre. It 
can be sown so late as to prove a profitable 
second crop to follow early peas, potatoes, 
etc. Good pasturage for bees. 
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN 
SUNFLOWER 
Makes fine poultry feed, ensilage, and hog 
feed. Plant up to July 1st at rate 8 pounds 
to the acre. Plant and cultivate same as corn. 
CHUFAS 
Earth almonds or grass nuts. Hogs not only 
fatten on them but the meat is sweeter than 
cornfed. Inexpensive to harvest as the hogs 
do the work. Plant on light sandy soils from 
April 1st to May 25th, in 3-foot rows, drop¬ 
ping two or three Chufas 18 inches apart. 
Chufas are easy to grow and make a pro¬ 
lific crop for hog raising. Plant 1 to IV 2 pecks 
to the acre. 
Chufas 
first week or two before pasturing rape, and 
provide salt at all times. 
Rape can be cut and fed green. Cut about 
four 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 IV 2 to 3 feet tall—-grows 
very rapidly—ready to use in 8 weeks. Pre¬ 
fers a rich mellow soil, will do well on most 
fairly good soils except sand or stiff clays, 
needs plenty of moisture to start. Plow deep¬ 
ly, 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 one 
inch deep. Sow from August through April. 
SEED PEANUTS 
Prepare the ground well, laying off in rows 
31/2 feet apart. Put 2 kernels to the hill, hills 
about 1 foot apart. Break the hull before 
planting. 35 to 40 pounds to the acre. 
TENNESSEE LONG RED. Especially adapted 
to this section. The nuts contain three large 
kernels in each and are enormously pro¬ 
ductive. 
IMPROVED WHITE VIRGINIA. These are 
uniformly large, and when grown on 
light sandy land will produce nuts of that 
bright attractive appearance demanded by 
the best trad*. 
SPANISH PEANUTS. Although not as large 
as other kinds there is no peanut grown 
that so entirely fills the pod or can com¬ 
pare with it in sweetness and flavor. 
SEED WHEAT 
COKER'S RED HART 
STRAIN 5 (BEARDLESS) 
The result of over 20 years of breeding by 
Coker's Seed Breeding Farms. An unusually 
prolific variety—last year our grower in 
Crittenden County, Arkansas, planted 75 
acres and obtained 51 bushels to a measured 
acre with strain 4. It is two to three weeks 
earlier than Leap's Prolific or Fulcaster. It 
is very resistant to smut and has a strong 
stiff straw that stands up well in bad 
weather, very popular with milling firms. 
NEW GASTA (BEARDLESS) 
We like this variety next to Coker's Red 
Hart. Another fine beardless variety, about 
one week later than Red Hart, very prolific, 
both storm and winter-resistant. Our grower 
swears by New Gasta and has made remark¬ 
able yields with it for three years past. 
ABRUZZI RYE 
COKER'S 16—A STRAIN 
Another of the Coker developments—the 
best rye that has been produced for the 
South. It grows much faster than any other 
rye. We have seen it 18 inches tall in 9 
weeks from planting—and it stools much 
heavier which means doubling the amount 
of grazing an acre, start earlier and keep 
it up longer. Three pecks to one bushel per 
acre is ample seeding, because of profuse 
stooling. 
BROOM CORN 
IMPROVED EVERGREEN BROOM CORN. An 
excellent variety of good length; has fine 
straight straws. Sow in April, 8 to 10 
pounds to the acre. 
SCARBROUGH DWARF BROOM CORN. A 
new variety of Dwarf Broom Corn. The 
straw is erect, very straight and uniform 
in length. It always brings top prices 
on the market.
