809 The most important problem 
of any farmer is to obtain the larg- 
est possible net return from his 
farm operations. Greater net re- 
turns may be obtained by increas- 
ing your crop yields at the lowest 
cost. Austrian Winter Peas solves 
this problem for you. It’s the lead- 
ing soil-builder and winter cover 
crop for the South because of its 
large, heavy growth on practically 
all soils and its ability ‘to resist 
winter freezes. Makes a splendid 
temporary pasture during late winter. It grows about 
5 feet high, can be planted by itself, but does fine with 
a light seeding of oats, rye or barley to hold vines off 
-ground; makes a heavy tonnage of splendid hay. ‘ELO=

grazing’ for your livestock, or

caying rapidly when plowed under. 
Sow Austrian Winter Peas during Sep- 
tember through November, in drills, at 
the rate of 30 lbs. per acre and cover 2 
inches. Also sown broadcast and disked 
in. Broadeasting in cotton middles and 
straddling the rows with a two-horse cul- 
tivator with the disk hillers or plows is a 
very good method of covering. Turn un- 
der during late March or early April when 
the green tops cut from a square 10 by 
10 feet will weigh 15 to 20 Ibs. (green 
weight). Wait two weeks before planting 
the succeeding crop. Inoculate seed with 
NITRAGIN. Prices:- Not prepaid: 10

fine winter and early spring pasture, 
Grows in tufts or bunches, often a foot 
in diameter and is very leafy at the 
base. The stems are nearly erect, 2 to 
4 feet high. Best results are obtained 
from a good, loamy, moist soil. Fur- 
nishes nutritious grazing-from Novem- 
ber until May. It dies down as soon as 
the weather gets warm. If allowed to 
reseed itself, it will come up again the 
following fall. Does well when mixed 
with Rye Grass and Bur Clover. Also 
fine on bottomlands that are subject to 
floods. More generally used as a pasture 
grass, but makes a good hay. Usually 
glves two cuttings a season. It is classed 
as an annual, Sow during August and 
September at the rate of 30 to 40 Ibs. 
per acre on well prepared land. Lb.
