When danger of frost is over sow 
broadcast 1 Bu. per acre or 45 lbs. 
in drills 36 inchés apart. Cowpeas 
produce one of the largest and the 
most nutritious forage crops grown. 
When turned under, they furnish 
nitrogen and generally enhance the 
fertility of the soil. They make a fine 
feed for work and beef-stock and for 
dairy herds, and are nearly equal in 
value to alfalfa and wheat-bran. Post-

1593 Canada Field Peas 
(60 lbs. Bu.) 
Every season we get hundreds of 
letters from farmer friends asking 
that we suggest the best annual 
early hay crop. Well folks, there 
just isn’t anything that equals a 
mixture of Canadian Field Peas and 
Oats seeded in the early spring at 
the rate of one bushel of each per 
acre. This combination hay makes 
an average yield of 2-18/100 tons of 
excellent feed per acre. Almost 
equal pound for pound with Clover 
hay. Relished by all classes of 
stock. Canadian Field Peas are very 
hardy; therefore may be seeded just 
as soon as it is safe to sow Oats. 
We. prefer sowing with a grain 
drill although good results may be 
obtained by sowing broadcast. Post-

RAPE 
1640 Dwarf Essex 
A Quick, Profitable Crop— 
Thrives Everywhere 
In the spring when you are 
sowing small grains, sow it 
at the rate of 4 pounds per 
acre with your grain. This 
will furnish valuable pasture 
after harvest. Plant it by it- 
self at the rate of 5 Ibs. per 
acre and see the immense 
yield of forage it will pro- 
duce. After the last cultiva- 
tion of corn sow 8 lbs. per 
acre broadcast. This is un- 
doubtedly the most profitable 
place to sow rape seed. If 
you are hogging the corn 
down, the hogs will clean the 
rape as well as the corn, If 
you husk your corn and pas- 
ture the cornstalks, all kinds 
of stock eat it readily, and 
this gives them green food

1613 Sudan Grass 
The Wonderful Hay Crop 
One of the best annual forage 
plants ever introduced, suitable for 
almost any locality. Sudan Grass 
thrives best on rich loam, but has 
been successfully grown on almost 
every kind of soil, from heavy clay 
to light sand. Cold, wet, boggy soils 
are not suited to Sudan Grass. 
Sudan Grass is a sorghum, and an 
annual, without underground root 
sprouts. It grows 4 to 5 feet high in 
drilled seedings, and 5 to 8 feet in 
cultivated rows. Do not sow Sudan 
Grass before corn planting time. 
Like corn, it is a warm weather crop. 
In favorable seasons, the growing 
period is long, and several cuttings 
can be obtained in one season. For 
hay it is ready to cut in 60 to 75 
days, when it is in full head. It con- 
tinues its growth, and in 40 to 45 
days it is ready for another cutting. 
Sudan Grass is an enormous 
yielder, producing 3 or 4 tons of hay 
at the first cutting. The second cut- 
ting is lighter, and the hay is much 
finer. Live stock of all kinds will eat 
the hay readily. 
For hay, sow at the rate of 20 to 30 
lbs. per acre, using a grain drill, and 
cover from one to one and one-half 
inches deep. Heavy seeding makes 
finer quality hay. Postpaid, Ib., 35

any latitude. Straw is of special value as it stands 3% 
to 4 feet high, being better than that of Winter Rye and 
producing nearly four times as much straw as Oats. 
Produces 30 to 40 bushels of grain to the acre. As it 
does not stool like Winter Rye, not less than two bushels 
to the acre should be sown. Postpaid, Ib., 32 cts.: 3 Tbs.,
