Cow Peas - Soy Beans J>fA. SoiL QmpJwvmuinL 
Cow 
Cow Peas make one of the largest yield¬ 
ing and most nutritious forage crops grown. 
There is also no surer or cheaper means of 
improving and increasing the productive¬ 
ness of our soils than by sowing the Cow 
Peas. It is not necessary to turn under the 
crop of vines to improve the soil, and it is 
really considered more economical and the 
best way to cut off the vines and cure them 
as a forage or hay crop, and then turn 
under the stubble and roots. From 10,000 to 
18,000 pounds of green fodder per acre 
have been produced. Cow Peas can be 
sown broadcast in April, May, June or July, 
at the rate of 1 to 1 Vi bushels per acre, or 
they may be planted in drills, using from 8 
to 12 pounds per acre. 
WHIPPOORWILL. The most highly valued 
plant in the South for fodder and reclaiming 
old and worn out land, as it is a leguminous 
plant of special merit as a fertilizer. Two crops 
can be easily made in one season. When 
ripened the ground peas make the best cattle 
fattener. Lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. 
Peas 
LARGE BLACK-EYED. The large Black-Eyed 
Peas make a profitable crop for picking up 
the dry peas for sale in our market during the 
winter; at the same time make an excellent 
soil improver, being similar in growth of vine 
and action of roots upon the soil to the other 
cow peas. Lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1,75. postpaid. 
CREAM. This is the most beautiful table Pea 
we have ever had the pleasure of offering oui 
customers. It has given the best satisfaction 
of any variety we have ever offered for table 
use, and very deservedly so, as there are 
none that can surpass it in splendid flavor. 
Lb., 25c; 10 lbs., $1.75, postpaid. 
BRABHAM COW PEA. (Sow 40 lbs. per acre.) 
Very similar in every respect to Whippoorwill, 
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.. 20c; 10 lbs., $1.50. 
BROWN CROWDER. This is a very fine large 
variety of Peas and is popular as a table Pea 
throughout Texas and the Southwest. Lb., 20c; 
10 lbs., $1.50, postpaid. Ask for prices on 
larger quantities. 
SOY BEANS—LAREDO 
Soy or Soja Beans 
Plant at the same time you would plant 
corn. Prepare the ground as you would for 
cowpeas, sowing the seed in drills 3 to 4 feet 
apart, dropping two seeds every 6 inches—or 
sow broadcast. Do not plant the seed over II /2 
inches deep. Cut for hay when the pods are 
well formed, or, if wanted for seed, let the 
Beans mature. Inoculate the seed with Nitra- 
gin. 
LAREDO. The increase in popularity and 
acreage of this variety has been phenomenal. 
The plant's many slender, leafy branches 
make it unexcelled as a high-quality hay. 
Matures in about 120 days and yields 30 to 40 
bushels of seed per acre. Seed is small, black, 
and flat. One bushel will plant 6 to 8 acres in 
31 / 2 -foot rows. Lb., 25c; 5 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. 
MAMMOTH YELLOW. A large yellow bean 
and a dandy yielder and one of the most 
popular varieties for crushing. Possibly the 
best established and most popular variety in 
the South. Plant 30 to 45 pounds to the acre 
for seed; 1 to II /2 bushels for hay. Lb., 25c; 
2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. 
COW PEAS—WHIPPOORWILL 
PLANT TEXAS CERTIFIED SEED 
STATE INSPECTION—YOUR PROTECTION 
Yellow Milo, Disease- 
Resistant, Dwarf (Certified) 
This variety is considered the most success¬ 
ful yet introduced. Grows from 3 to 4 ft. high, 
very uniform in growth. Stands hot, dry 
weather exceptionally well. Dwarf Milo was 
introduced in 1937. Matures in about 104 days. 
Lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.25, postpaid; 100 lbs., 
$3.50, not prepaid. 
Disease-Resistant Milo 
_ As the name implies, this new Milo is re¬ 
sistant to the soil borne organism known as 
Pythium, the fungus which causes root rot in 
Milo. This disease has become widespread and 
can only be combated with resistant varieties. 
Several of the other Sorghums, such as Kafir, 
Hegari and Sumac seem naturally resistant, 
but other milos and milo hybrids appear sus¬ 
ceptible. 
Hegari (Certified) 
We consider Hegari the most popular and 
profitable for grain, forage and ensilage. 
Stands dry weather; crop is certain; grain 
does not shatter; the heads are large and 
full, uniform in growth. Lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.00, 
postpaid. Not prepaid, 100 lbs., $3.50. 
Sudan (Certified) 
Sudan is considered the best pasture grazing 
crop and the most palatable. Sudan can be 
planted as late as July under favorable condi¬ 
tions. To avoid getting Johnson Grass and 
weed mixtures, plant only certified seed. The 
average yield of seed is 450 pounds per acre. 
Three cuttings of hay can be expected under 
normal conditions. Lb., 25c; 10 lbs., 31.50, 
postpaid. 
Red Top Cane Seed (Certified) 
Red Top Cane Seed leads all other varieties and is justified in doing so. It is strictly a 
forage crop and possible to receive from 4 to 5 tons of forage under normal conditions. The 
certified strain we offer is uniform in growth. Smut and disease free, far superior from the old 
type. Lb., 20c; 10 lbs., $1.00, postpaid.
