@ High Feeding Value... 
Averages 10 tons of green for- 
age per acre of highest feeding 
value for fattening or supplying 
vitamins to growing stock, One 
acre will pasture 20 hogs for 
two months. A State experi- 
ment station reports gains of 
over 7 to 8 pounds by lambs fed 
on rape alone. Furnishes grazing 
throughout the greater part of 
the year. 
® Grows Very Rapidly... 
Quick pasturage for Poultry and 
All Livestock. Ready in 6 to 8 
weeks.

PEANUTS 

SEED PEANUTS 
Prepare the ground well, laying off in 
rows 314 feet apart. Put 2 kernels to the 
nill, 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 con- 
tain three large kernels in each and are 
enormously productive. ; 
IMPROVED WHITE VIRGINIA. These 
are uniformly large, and when grown on 
light sandy land will produce nuts of 
that bright attractive appearance de- 
manded by the best trade. 
SPANISH PEANUT. The best variety for 
forage and fattening crop in the South. 
Early, heavy bearer; bushes growing 
close, so easily cultivated. Grains or 
nuts are small, skins of creamy white 
color, much sweeter and finer flavored 
and much more free from ‘‘pops’’ than 
the larger sorts.

Dwarf Essex RAP 
Excellent Pasture 
and Forage . . 

DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
An excellent pasture and green for- 
age crop for cattle, hogs, sheep and 
stock. It is high in feeding value, pro- 
ducing an abundant 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 efficient fattener and more eco- 
nomical 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 20 hogs for two 
months, 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 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 1% to 3 feet tall—grows 
very rapidly—ready to use in 8 weeks. 
Prefers a rich mellow soil, will do well on 
most fairly good soils except sand or stiff 
clays, needs plenty of moisture to start. 
Plow deeply, disk well and harrow thor- 
oughly. 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. 

VETCH 
WINTER HAIRY VETCH 
One of the best winter legumes and 
green manure crops. Rarely ever winter- 
killed in the South. Grows on almost any 
well drained soil, thrives on sandy soil, 
needs a fair amount of moisture to start, 

but endures considerable drought. Sow in 
September and October in cotton middles 
or with rye, wheat, oats, or barley, as 
vetch grows better if kept off the ground. 
Can be turned under in time to plant 
cotton or corn—a wonderful soil builder 
when inoculated. <A fair feed crop and 
grazing crop. Inoculate with Nitragin. 
Sow 15 to 30 pounds per acre, not too 
deep, have surface well worked and com- 
pact also free of weeds. Price made in 
uly. 
HUNGARIAN VETCH 
Not as winter-resistant as Hairy, but 
nearly so. Does not grow as tall as Hairy, 
but its tonnage will surprise you. Grows 
off quicker in spring than Hairy, is more 
disease-resistant, and experiment station 
reports in Mississippi indicate it stores 
even more nitrogen in the soil than Hairy 
Vetch. Seed is cheaper per pound than 
Hairy, but being larger, you must plant 
more per acre. Culture same as Hairy 
Vetch. Be sure to inoculate. Price given 
in July. 
AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS 
Sown for the same purpose as vetch in 
September and October. Grows much like 
an English pea, upright and is ready to 
turn under a little earlier than veten, Not 
as winter-resistant as vetch but usually 
stands 12 degrees above zero. Sow 20 to 
25 pounds seed per acre in cotton middles. 
When sown broadcast with grain use 25 
pounds Winter Peas and 3 pecks Abruzzi 
Rye or 1 bushel wheat or two bushels 
oats per acre. Be sure to inoculate with 
Nitragin. Price given in July.
