hay, 1 to 1% bus. per acre. 
will plant 6 to 7 acres. 
-SMALL SEED VARIETIES. Plant broad- 
cast 3 to 5 pecks per acre, depending upon 
the richness of the soil. For seed plant in 
rows about one bus. to 3 acres for Laredos. 
ARKSOY 2913 (135 days). An exceptional 
ly heavy yielder is this improved variety of 
the regular Arksoy. It is a consistent 35 to 
40 bushel per acre yielder on good land and 
is even less liable to shatter than the orig- 
inal Arksoy. Erect growth and non-shatter- 
ing characteristics make this an easy crop 
to harvest with a combine. 
SOY BEANS (Brown Biloxi). (150 to 165 
days). An upright variety, growing 4 to 
5 feet high, covered with a dense mass of 
foliage which does not shed easily. A heavy 
yielder of beans. The oil and protein are 
high. May be harvested as late as February 
with very small loss from shattering. 
SOY BEANS (White or Yellow Biloxi). 
(150 to 160 days). Has the good qualities 
of the chocolate Biloxi but heavier grain 
and hay yielder. The nearest non-shattering 
white bean. One of the best for crushing, 
being very high in protein and oil contents. 
For Prices Refer Te Green List Enclosed. 

SOY BEANS (Laredo). (120 to 130 days). 
One of the best hay varieties, producing hay 
of fine quality—can be planted earlier than 
any other Soy Bean. Seeds small and black. 
When planting for seed one bushel of La- 
redos plant three acres in 38-inch rows, 
When planting for hay, three to five pecks 
per acre should be planted broadcast, de- 
pending on the richness of the soil. 
MUNG BEANS. Grow on upright bushes 
from 2 to 4 feet high and mature in 70 to 
90 days. The hay cures quickly and may be 
threshed in 2 to 4 days after cutting, and 
it retains all the leaves. Harvest when ma- 
jority of pods turn black. Sow 5 lbs. per 
acre in drills. 
VETCH, HAIRY OR WINTER. A Nitro- 
gen gatherer and soil improver. One of 
our best winter legumes and green manure 
crops. So resistant to cold, adapted to a 
wide range of soils and can be made to 
reseed itself. For grazing or cover crops 
sow 10 to 20 pounds per acre with any of 
the fall grains. For soil improvement and 
when seeded alone sow 20 to 25 pounds per 
acre. For spring planting in combination 
with oats, sow at the rate of 10 pounds per 
acre. 
SEED PEANUTS 
CULTURE. Plant in May or early in June 
in rows 3% feet apart, dropping two ker- 
nels to the hill, hills about one foot apart. 
Cover one to two inches deep. 25 to 30 lbs. 
of unhulled peanuts will plant an acre. 
Crack or break the hull before planting. 
SPANISH PEANUTS. While not as large 
as other varieties they will produce more 
peanuts and hay than any other variety and 
are the most commonly grown. 
TENNESSEE RED PEANUTS. Similar to 
Spanish in the way the nuts are closely 
packed in the pod, but the pods are longer, 
usually containing 3 nuts and sometimes 
four; a very productive variety. 
COW PEAS 
WHIPPOORWILL. More largely grown 
than any other Cow Pea, probably because 
of its long vines, usually about six feet. 
LARGE BLACK EYE. The Black Eye 
Stock Peas commonly grown in this vicin- 
ity are used mostly for cooking. 
TEXAS SUGAR CROWDER. Peas are 
white, medium size, rich sugary flavor. 
Considered by many the best canning 2 
of the crowders. 
WHITE SUGAR CROWDER. An orate 
maturing table pea of excellent flavor. Me- 
dium size white pea with pronounced flat- 
tened end. Their rich sugar flavor makes 
them a great favorite, | 
BROWN SUGAR CROWRER, Similar to 
above but in eelor of pea...
