WOOD’S CERTIFIED FULGRAIN OATS 
BEST OAT FOR THE COASTAL SECTIONS 
An early maturing, large yielding strain, winter hardy and dis- 
ease resistant, maturing before hot weather and rust damage. Has 
strong, stiff straw of medium height, making it an excellent oat for 
combining. Fulgrain produces probably the largest and heaviest 
grain of any oat on the market, making it most desirable for 
feeding purposes. Particularly well adapted to the coastal and 
Piedmont Sections of Virginia and all other Southern States. Al- 
though not qute as hardy as Lee No. 5, we have never known them 
to winter kill east of Richmond. Makes a vigorous winter growth 
and fine for pasturage. 
Field inspection reports made by the Virginia Crop Improvement 
Association on our entire contract acreage show them to be 100% 
pure Fulgrain with no varietal mixture and no disease. All tests, 
after being recleaned, show unusually high purity, running over 
9914%, no weeds, and less than % of 1% inert matter. Our 
Pedigree Fulgrain Oats are of equal quality, but do not carry 
official certification tag.

Timely Hints Issued by the Virginia Extension Division 
Italian Rye Grass for Supplementary Pasture and Hay, 
or as a Cover Crop 
Italian rye grass may be seeded in late summer or early 
fall, either alone or in combination with crimson clover, to 
provide late fall and early spring grazing. Fifteen pounds 
of Italian rye grass and 15 pounds of crimson clover to the 
acre are advised when mixtures are used. 
Rye Grass, Abruzzi Rye and Crimson Clover 
Other popular mixtures are 1 bushel of Abruzzi Rye, 15 
pounds of rye grass, and 10 pounds of crimson clover. or 1 
bushel of Abruzzi rye and 15 pounds of rye grass. When 
seeded alone, Italian rye grass should be seeded at the rate 
of 20 to 25 pounds to the acre, except where it is seeded to 
be turned under for flue-cured tobacco, where only 15 pounds 
should be used. 
Rye Grass on Lespedeza Sod 
Twenty to 25 pounds of rye grass per acre for winter 
cover on land from which lespedeza has been grazed closely 
or cut for hay, will furnish some late fall pasture, depending 
upon the date of seeding, and a large amount of early spring 
grazing or a hay crop. If rye grass is sown on lespedeza 
and is pastured hard until about June 1, and the cattle are 
then removed, the rye grass will reseed itself, and also a 
good crop of lespedeza will be ready for grazing in mid- 
summer. 
The earlier seedings will give a larger growth and such 
seedings may be made as early as August 1, if the soil con- 
tains plenty of moisture. This combination may be sown 
as late as September 15, and rye grass alone may be seeded 
as late as October 15. 
Hairy Vetch for Seed or Hay, or as a Cover Crop 
Virginia has very little experimental data on vetch, but 
the states south of us have had much experience with it; 
“At the present — 



periment Farm for a number of years that we feel the variety should be grown more 
generally on farms where the Winter Turf variety has been mostly grown.”

We consider — 
“Your New Improved Lee Oats 
therefore, the information below is based on their findings 
and our observation. 
Hairy vetch may be seeded alone, or with rye, oats, wheat — 
or barley, depending upon the purpose for which it is sown. 
When the crop is grown for forage or seed, the more common 
practice is to seed it with one of the small grains, as the 
grain supports the weak stems of the vetch and helps pre- 
vent lodging. 
Rates and Dates of Seeding: For seed production, sow 5 os 
to 8 pounds of vetch per acre; for forage or green manure, — 
15 pounds. In each case sow the seed with about one- 
fourth less than a normal seeding of small grain. If seeded 
alone, use 20 to 25 pounds of vetch. The seed may be sown ~ 
from September 1 to October 15, but September seeding is — 
grain drill, 
preferable. It may be sown broadcast or with a 
but should be covered to a depth of 2 to 4 inches. 
Inoculation: On land that has not been seeded to vetch 
recently it is absolutely essential to inoculate thé seed. This — 
may be done with commercial cultures or with soil from a 
well-inoculated field. 
Reseeding Spring Clover and Grass Failures 
Since much of the clover and grass seeded alone or on 
small grain last spring was killed by the drouth, it will be 
necessary to reseed it this summer, or there will be a 
shortage of hay next year and the rotation will be broken.
