SOME QUESTIONS 
Brought Up By the Shortage of Summer 
Grazing and Hay 
Q. May I not depend on my second growth of clover or 
alfalfa for grazing? 
A. It is not advisable this summer, because of the short- 
age of hay, and the fact that a good grazing crop may be 
sown on another field, letting such second growth as clover 
and alfalfa may make be used for hay. 
Q. What is the best grazing crop to sow in June? 
A. We should say, pre-eminently SUDAN GRASS, but for 
a goodly percentage of protein in the pasture it is well to 
sow Soybeans with the Sudan in the proportion of 20 pounds 
of Sudan and one bushel of early Soybeans to the acre. 
Q. How many acres should I use for my stock? 
A. While 8 to 10 cows on an acre will ensure more com- 
plete use of the crop, and less loss from trampling than 
fewer cows would cause, a good rule in a dry season is to 
ee one acre for each six cows, to provide enough grazing 
or : 
Q. How soon may such grazing begin? 
A. As soon as the Sudan has reached a height of two 
feet. After close grazing, if the cows are taken off the 
Sudan will renew its growth, coming much more thickly 
than it first stood, and fully making up for any lack of 
soybeans in the second pasturing. 
Q. Will Sudan Grass and Soybeans make good hay? 
A. This mixture makes hay with a protein content equal 
to that of mixed clover and timothy. 
Q. Is fertilizing important for Sudan Grass? 
A. AS your crop will not now have the full summer, it 
should be given every advantage that will induce quick 
growth. In few crops is this so essential to real profits 
as in Sudan Grass. 300 to 500 pounds of Wood’s Standard 
4-12-4 Fertilizer to the acre will well repay for its use. 
Q. How about fertilizing for the Soybeans? 
A. The same fertilizer is ideal for them. In addition, 
though, we would inoculate Soybeans sown in summer. 
Q. Is it necessary to sow the Sudan Grass and Soybeans 
separately ? 
A. No. They are satisfactorily drilled together. 
Q. Will Sudan Grass and Soybeans do well on acid soil? 
A. Neither will do its best there. Even half a ton of 
lime to the acre on such soil is better than none. Lime 
not only sweetens sour land, but also enables the growing 
crop to use some supply of nitrogen in the soil that might 
not otherwise be available to the roots.

OTHER SUGGESTIONS FOR MAY AND 
JUNE PLANTING 
1 e 
Sugar Drip Sorghum 
The Best Substitute for Sugar. Since we introduced this 
variety many years ago no new Sorghum has been brought 
out that can compare with it in yield of syrup. Particularly 
well adapted for Virginia, the Piedmont and mountain sec- 
tions of the Carolinas and States north and west. Plant 8 
to 10 lbs. to the acre, in rows 3 to 3% feet apart and 4 to 
6 inches apart in the rows, not covered quite as deep as 
corn. 
Early Amber Sorghum—For Forage 
One of the earliest Sorghums and furnishes large yields of 
most nutritious forage, which may be fed either green or 
cured. Best time for planting is about two weeks after corn. 
Crotalaria Spectabilis 
A Valuable Soil Builder. Makes much taller, more leafy 
growth with more nodules than either Cow Peas or Soja 
Beans. Yields of crops following this wonderful crop are 
frequently doubled. 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
A quick, cheap pasturage for poultry and all livestock. 
Ready in 6 weeks. Planting can be made from June 
through October. 
Alyce Clover 
May and June are the best months for planting. Adapt- 
able to coastal sections of the South. Under normal mois- 
ture conditions is an outstanding hay producer of the 
finest quality. 
Mammoth Russian Sunflower 
A reliable grain crop for poultry, good green feed for 
hogs and can be ensiled like corn. 

Suggestions for Your Victory Garden 
“KEEP IT WORKING—MAKE PLANTINGS EVERY MONTH” 
NAVY BEANS (Michelite Strain) 
An improved strain—very prolific—maturing in 90 to 95 
days, and larger yielding than the ordinary navy bean. The 
pods on the stalk stay off the ground, as they have a stronger 
root growth, which is most important when heavily loaded 
with pods. Navy beans should be planted by every farmer 
for dried beans for soup or baked beans all winter. Nothing 
tastes better in cold weather. Plant in June or July, 2 or 3 
beans in hills a foot apart, in 3-foot rows; 1 lb. to 200 feet; 
15 lbs. per acre. Cultivate early, before they blossom, but 
not deeply, nor while wet with dew. 
Plant Potatoes In June and July 
Summer planted potatoes have given outstanding yields 
and are an important vegetable crop for every garden. They 
are harvested after frost, in October, and can be easily stored 
and carried through the winter months. For June and 
early July, plant Green Mountain. Late July and early 
August plant Irish Cobblers. Our seed stock has been car- 
ried in cold storage expressly for Summer planting, and in 
good, sound, unsprouted condition.

EDIBLE PEAS FOR TABLE AND MARKET 
Early Wilt Resistant Ramshorn Peas 
The earliest of the wilt-resistant peas, maturing green peas 
in about 60 days and dried peas in 70 to 75 days. Are erect 
growing bush pea, very compact growth, making cultivation 
easy. Matures very early so that it can be either used for a 
quick crop when planted early, or can be planted late asa 
double crop. 
Dixie Queen Brown Eye (or Purple Hull) 
No blackeye pea can surpass Dixie Queen in delicious 
flavor. It is a good-sized pea of the Ramshorn type, except 
that it has a brown eye and is a few days later, being ready 
in about 85 to 90 days. Tenderness and sweetness are its 
outstanding characteristics. 
Brown Sugar or Cream Crowder 
Peas in 85 to 90 days and dried peas in 100 to 110 days. 
One of our best flavored table peas of large size and exceed- 
ingly popular throughout the South. Very prolific, yielding 
from 10 to 12 bushels of dried peas per acre. 
Virginia Blackeye 
For the main crop this has always been the most exten- 
sively grown of all blackeye peas in Virginia. One of the 
latest maturing varieties, making green peas in 75 to 80 
days and dried peas in 95 to 100 days. Has proven so tho- 
roughly dependable that they are generally grown to produce 
dry peas for winter use. The pods are long and well filled.
