RUSSELL- 
HECKLE'S 
@ High Feeding Value 
Averages 10 tons of green forage per 
acre of highest feeding value for fatten- 
ing or supplying vitamins to growing 
stock. One acre will pasture 20 hogs 
for two months. A State experiment sta- 
tion 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. 
An excellent pasture and green forage crop 
for cattle, hogs, sheep and stock. It is high in 
feeding value, producing an abundant flow of 
milk in milch cows (feed rape to milch cows 
after milking, not before, to avoid slight cab- 
bage flavor to milk), 
Experiments show that rape is a more effi- 
cient fattener and more economical 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 pos- 
sibility of bloating accustom stock to rape 
gradually, 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)4 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 thoroughly. Can be sown 
with spring grain or in combination with clo- 
ver. Sow in drills 4 to 6 pounds—broadcast 10 
to 15 pounds per acre, about one inch deep. 
Postpaid, 1 Ib., 35c; 5 Ibs., $1.20; 10 lbs., $2.20. 
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 cot- 
ton middles or with rye, wheat, oats, or bar- 
ley, 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 worked 
and compact, also free of weeds. Prices quoted 
in July. 
HUNGARIAN VETCH 
Not as winter-resistant as Hairy, but nearly 
so. Does not grow as tall as Hairy, but its ton- 
nage 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. Prices quoted in 
July. 
AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS 
Sown for the same purpose as vetch in Sep- 
tember and October. Grows much like an Eng- 
lish pea, upright and is ready to turn under a 
little earlier than vetch. 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 Nitra- 
gin. Prices quoted in July.

PEANUTS 
HOW TO PLANT PEANUTS. Prepare the 
ground well, laying off in rows 3] feet apart. 
Put 2 kernels to the hill, 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 contain three large 
kernels in each and are enormously produc- 
<r 00 Postpaid, 1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.10; 10 lbs., 
IMPROVED WHITE VIRGINIA. These are uni- 
formly large, and when grown on light sandy 
land will produce nuts of that bright appear- 
ance demanded by the best trade. Postpaid, 1 
Ib., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.20; 10 Ibs., $2.00. 
SPANISH PEANUT. The best variety for for- 
age 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. Postpaid, 1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., 
$1.10; 10 Ibs., $2.00. SPANISH SEED PEANUTS
