Dwarf Essex Rape 
Rape is one of the most valuable forage 
plants, its many uses being considered, that 
has ever been introduced into the United 
States. The use of Rope has grown in a few 
years from a few thousand pounds of seed 
used, to thousands of tons of seed per year. 
Until lately. Rape has been grown mostly for 
sheep pasture, but in recent years people 
have learned that it is equally valuable as a 
forage crop for cattle, hogs, and poultry. The 
young, tender leaves of Rape make fine greens 
for table use and are preferred by some to 
mustard and other greens. To those of our 
customers who are not familiar with Rape, we 
will say that it grows somewhat like a cab¬ 
bage plant before the cabbage plant begins 
to head up; however, the Rape makes a 
larger plant, often 18 inches to 2 feet high, 
under favorable weather conditions and on 
good soil Rape will produce from 10 to 25 
tons of green forage per acre. It can be grown 
in the fall as it stands our winters without 
killing; it can also be sown in the spring 
with good results. Sow in drills at the rate 
of 5 to 8 pounds per acre. Lb., 25c; 10 lbs., 
$2.25, postpaid.

the Southwest portion of the State. It is be¬ 
ing planted more and more in the black land 
belt, and is becoming more popular every

Johnson Grass and Weed 
Killer 
At last your troubles with weeds and John¬ 
son Grass can be overcome—and by the sim¬ 
plest of treatments. The delay in planting is 
only temporary. Sodium Chlorate — compara¬ 
tively inexpensive—does the work. It does its 
most effective work when the young weeds 
and Johnson Grass are first heading out, al¬ 
though it may be applied later, also, but will 
not be so effective. Dissolve 100 pounds of 
Sodium Chlorate to the 100 gallons of water. 
This will treat one acre of badly infested 
ground. Wait three weeks to plant—or only 
two weeks if the weather is dry. 
SODIUM CHLORATE. Single pounds ... $ .30 
10-pound lots. Per pound_ .25 
10 pounds to 110 pounds. Per pound_ .20 
Drums of 100 pounds. Per pound_ .15
