SOY BEANS-—Hnoculate 
Plant Soy Beans from March until August. 
Most Soys are planted as a companion crop 
with corn and at same time to Improve the 
soil. Otootan, Avoyelles, Biloxi, and Laredo 
are most popular for hay and soil i Improve- 
ment. Mamloxi and White Biloxi are planted 
for crushing beans, hay and soil improve- 
ment. All are non-shatter types, with long 
growing season, enabling them to hang on 
through drought and make growth when 
it rains. 
Avoyelles Soy Bean. Originated in Avoy- 
elles Parish, Louisiana, from a fteld of Otoo- 
tan Soys. It branches like Otootan, is semi- 
viny type, making good hay. It produces 
seed easily so you can save your own. It 
has become the most popular Soy Bean in 
Louisiana and is now spreading to adjoining 
states. Seeds are black, similar to but larger 
than Otootan. Plant 20-30 Ibs. per acre in 
corn, or 45-60 Ibs. in 3-ft. rows. 
Biloxi. Heavy vigorous, upright, branching 
stalk, large stems, large leaves, large brown 
seed with but little shattering. Very popular 
for soil improvement, fall grazing and widely 
planted in corn. Seed 20-30 Ibs. in corn or 
45-60 Ibs. in drills. Rates next to Otootan 
in tonnage of hay or green crop per acre. 
It stays green until late. 
White Biloxi. (Yellow.) Almost identical 
with brown-seeded Biloxi and just as good. 
It posstbly makes a little ranker growth. 
Laredo. The standard hay bean, having 
small upright stalk, growing five feet or more 
on good soil. Plant 30 to 60 Ibs. in drills by 
themselves, or 8 to 12 Ibs. in corn. The price 
per bushel may look high but the black seeds 
are so small that they are usually the cheap- 
est bean to plant. 
Otootan. Produces more tonnage of hay 
or green manure fertility than any variety 
you can grow. Its long growing period, 
staying green until frost, lets it take full 
advantage of all summer rains. Itis a bushy, 
erect plant with small branching stems and 
makes the finest of Soy Bean hay, superior 
in some ways to Alfalfa. The seeds are 
small, round black beans, produced late in 
the season. Sow 10-15 Ibs. to the acre with 
corn, or 30-60 Ibs. in 3-ft. rows. 
Red Tanner. A real hay bean, with pro- 
duction equal to Otootan. The seed is 
slightly larger in size. 
YELLOW SOY BEANS FOR OIL 
Arksoy. Seems the best big yellow-bean 
producer to crush for oil and meal at the 
Soy Bean Mills. Earlier than Mamloxi and 
later than Macoupin. 
Macoupin. Early, high-yielding yellow 
bean, maturing before Arksoy and Mamloxi. 
Mamloxi. Upright branching stalk like 
Biloxi, slightly earlier, non-shatter type 
yellow bean, making it a good all-purpose 
variety, suitable for hay, soil improvement 
and oil mill beans. It is the most popular 
yellow bean. 
VELVET BEANS—Inoculate 
Early Speckled Velvet Bean. Most val- 
uable and popular variety. It is very prolific 
and can be planted Iater than other sorts on 
account of its early maturity. Makes a 
wonderful growth of vines for pasturing and 
is a fine soil improver. As pasturage it 
fattens hogs, cattle, horses, and i is the great- 
est milk producer known. Plant in corn and 
forget about any corn you cannot find at 
harvest time. The stock will find it all. 
Plant 15 to 30 Ibs. per acre. 
Bush Velvet. Very popular as a green- 
manure crop in orchards, a great soil im- 
prover. We buy and offer either Certified 
Bunch Bean or Affidavit Guaranteed seed, 
yet often there will be a few running beans 
in them. We cannot tell the difference as 
the seeds are exactly alike, hence offer with- 
Out warranty and at your risk. 

CANE or SORGHUM 
Japanese Ribbon—Syrup Cane. Red Seed. 
he leader in syrup production, which every 
farm needs. Usually produces 150 to 200 
gallons of syrup per acre. Plant when the 
ground becomes thoroughly warm, in drills 
31% to 4 feet apart. Cultivate same as corn. 
For syrup making, it is best to cut just before 
the seeds ripen, as the plants then contain 
the most saccharine. Sow 8 to 10 pounds to 
an acre for syrup, or 12 to 15 pounds for 
ensilage. A great tonnage of ensilage or 
green feed can be expected. 
Texas Seeded Crookneck—Syrup Cane. 
Black Seed. Highly prized syrup cane. Its 
rank, vigorous growth of heavy, juicy stalks 
produces a large yield of syrup, frequently 
175 to 200 gallons to the acre. It produces 
syrup of a bright amber color and of fine 
quality and flavor. Stalks have crooknecked 
seed heads. It is equally fine for a heavy 
tonnage of ensilage. 
Improved Early Black Amber. For 
forage, hay and grazing. Not good for 
syrup, but ftme for early green feed. If 
planted early it will vield two cuttings a 
season. If grown with Cowpeas or Soy 
Beans the quality of the hay is improved 
and a more balanced ration may be had. 
Early Orange. Stalks taller and heavier 
than the Amber. Yields good crops for green 
feed. Most kinds sweet, suitable for hay or 
syrup, but strains vary slightly. 
Red Top or Sumac. The great hay Cane 
or sweet Sorghum crop for the southwest. 
Its slender stalks and abundant leaves make 
it desirable for hay or green feed. Drought 
resistant and as early as Orange or Amber. 
GRAIN—FORAGE SORGHUMS 
Sagrain. Saccharine Grain Sorghum. Pro- 
duces 8 to 15 tons of silage or if left to ripen 
will produce 20 to 50 bushels of grain or 3 to 
8 tons of cured hay per acre. Relished by all 
livestock. A safer feed crop than corn and 
withstands neglect and adverse conditions. 
Splendid combination with Soy Beans. Can 
be best harvested with a corn binder, shocked 
like oats until cured. Plant 5 to 10 pounds 
per acre. 
Double Dwarf Yellow Milo Maize. Fine 
grain crop or substitute for corn. Grows 4 
feet high and has large grain heads. The 
compact stalk makes harvesting much easier. 
Resistant to drought. Plant in 4-foot rows 
at the rate of 5 to 10 pounds to the acre. 
Hegari. Most popular Grain Sorghum. 
Improved dwarf, Non-Saccharine, Grain 
Sorghum, shattering little. Dwarf growth 
with large heads of white grains. Makes an 
enormous grain crop and better forage or 
silage than Feterita or Kaffir Corn. It stands 
dry weather exceptionally well. We prefer 
and offer the Arizona strain on account of 
better uniformity. Plant 5 to 10 pounds 
per acre in 4-foot rows. 
Feterita. Non-Saccharine. Grain Sorghum. 
Very drought resistant. Has some unchang- 
ing friends. Plant like Hegari. 
Shallu. Called Chicken Corn and Egyptian 
Wheat, a Non-Saccharine Grain Sorghum. 
It isa heavy yielder and popular with home 
chicken raisers. 
Kaffir Corn. Dwarf, black hulled, white- 
seeded, drought-resistant grain. Popular in 
dry areas. Also popular for poultry. 
CROTALARIA— Inoculate 
Spectabilis. A great legume crop for turn- 
ing under in the lower South. Liked by fruit 
and truck growers, not being a host for stink 
Du Plant in rows like Soy Beans, using 
4 Ibs. per acre, after frost danger is past, 
or broadcast 10-15 Ibs. on well-prepared 
land for maximum growth. It’s the greatest 
soil-builder known. Stock will not eat it. 
Early Spectabilis. For upper South.

COW PEAS—Inoculate 
Brabham. A highly disease-resistant, early 
variety that retains foliage exceptionally well. 
It is wilt and nematode resistant. 
Clay. Medium large, of running habit; fine 
for soil improvement. The pods ripen very 
uniformly. 
Whippoorwill. Very early, prolific, bushy 
sort. Produces good growth of upright vines. 
Easy to cut. 
Mixed. A mixture of the best varieties. 
Grows thicker and produces a better crop of 
vines and forage than do sowings of single 
varieties. Popular for hay, for pea produc- 
tion and turning under for green manure. 
TABLE PEAS—Inoculate 
Most of us are very fond of these sweet 
table peas and we should certainly grow 
enough to do the family all next winter, 
spring and summer. They are delicious when 
eaten fresh or dried and the vines are equal 
to cow peas as a soil improver. Include these 
in your Victory Garden. 
Brown Sugar Crowder. Earliest and one 
of the most prolific, sweetest and best flavored 
table peas. It brings good prices on the 
market, too. 
Cream Sugar Crowder. Also called White 
Crowder, as seeds are creamy white. One of 
the earliest, most prolific and best flavored 
table peas for eating green and as dry shelled 
peas. 
Lady Pea. Smallest and beyond question 
the sweetest flavored fteld pea for choice 
table use. Delicious and tender. Grow a 
plenty for dry shelled peas to last until 
another crop. Also called Rice Pea. 
Cream Pea. Similar to Lady Pea but much 
larger. Very popular on the markets and 
growing more in demand each season. 
Purple Hull. White pea that is second to 
none, green or dry. 
Large Black Eye. Best large black-eyed 
table pea. Good either as ‘Snaps’ or shelled. 
Ready in 60 days. There’s no need to buy 
these shipped in from the Pacifte Coast when 
we can grow them so easily ourselves. Native 
grown seed look sorry but produce well. 
PEANUTS—Inoculate 
NOTE—Increase yields by dusting plants 
with sulphur dust. It pays. 
Spanish. The best variety for forage and 
fattening hogs and_ stock. Early, heavy 
bearer; upright bushes growing close, for 
easy cultivation. 
Improved Spanish. Similar to Spanish 
except with much larger nuts, though also 
making only two to the hull. This strain 
should be much more desirable for most uses. 
Plants grow upright and are heavy producers. 
Improved Valencia. Finest large variety. 
Its pods contain 3 and 4 pink-skinned nuts 
of handsomest appearance. The flavor Is 
mild and sweet. 
Tennessee Red. The big runner type, with 
3 and 4 large nuts in each large hull. This ts 
the big favorite for roasting at home. 
MILLETS 
German or Golden. Best for hay, produces 
heavily and should be cut in bloom. It is 
harvested when mature for chicken feed. 
Used mostly for a late, quick forage and hay 
crop. 
Pearl or Cattail. For green feeding it is 
unexcelled. Greatest and best yielder of 
green forage and it continues to grow and 
produce through the entire season if cut 
frequently enough to prevent its going to 
seed. It’s called the cut-and-come-again 
crop and it is a valuable forage crop to plant 
regularly. Sow 8-10 Ibs. per acre in 3-ft. rows.
