CROTALARIA YIELDS UP TO 40,000 POUNDS GREEN MATERIAL PER ACRE 
CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS 
This is truly a marvelous summer cover crop, a yield of 40,000 pounds of green material per 
acre is not uncommon. Splendid soil builder in orchards, ete.’ Fine with corn planted in same 
rows when corn is planted, or in corn and other farm crops at last cultivation. It will greatly 
increase crop yields following it. It is not offered as a feed crop, or hay crop, though a nearby 
farmer tells us his mules ate it readily. But it is really too valuable as a fertilizer to feed. 
Thoroughly plow, disc and harrow the soil. Sow after danger of frost is past, when moisture 
is present, 10 to 15 pounds per acre broadcast or five pounds drilled in three-foot rows, using 
scarified seed only as with Sericea. Firm the soil immediately after planting to conserve the 
moisture, cultivate once or twice when planted in rows. 
EARLY CROTALARIA. Most desirable for planting in upper South since it grows more rapidly. 
Should be used more as a catch crop after oats or sown just before the last cultivation of corn, 
cane or cotton in the central and lower South. 
Postpaid, 1 1b., 35c; 5 Ibs., $1.25; 10 lbs., $2.25. 
LATE CROTALARIA. Although it makes about a foot more growth than any other Crotalaria; 
averaging 7 feet high, and will yield 15 or more tons of green manure per acre, does not 
make its maximum growth as quickly as the early type. This strain should be used in all 
cases where early planting is possible.

STOCK BEETS OR MANGELS 
Plantings should be made from April until the middle of 
How and When to Plant June. Sow in drills 2 to 244 feet apart. Thin out to stand 
10 inches apart in the row; 5 to 6 lbs. will plant an acre. -Cultivate as soon after planting as 
possible. As soon as frost occurs, dig the roots, cut off the tops and pile on a well drained 
situation, covering with straw or corn stalks and an inch of earth. As it gets colder, increase 
the covering to prevent freezing. Always feed with some dry roughage. 
MAMMOTH LONG RED MANGEL. (110 days.) KLEIN WANZLEBEN SUGAR. (95 days.) Large, 
Highest in yield. The roots often weigh 20 smooth white roots with broad shoulder, 
to 30 pounds each. It grows well above gradually -tapering toward the base; good 
ground, is easily pulled; the deep red roots keepers. Widely, grown in many sections 
are straight, well formed and solid.’ A fine for sugar production and stock feeding. Rich 
keeper and will supply an abundance of in sugar content. Claimed to be the heavi- 
succulent green food for stock of all kinds est yielder of the sugar beets. 
and for poultry. Adapted to deep soils. Postpaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 20c; 1% Ilb., 65c;

GIANT FEEDING SUGAR. (90 days.) Not as cially recommended for the dairyman on 
high in tonnage yield per acre, but the account of its milk producing properties and 
the richer quality of the milk. The flesh is 
firm and solid, rich golden yellow color. 
Due to its peculiar shape they can be grown 
closer in the rows than most mangels, in- 
creasing the yield per acre. Grows well 
above ground and easily pulled.

pound to pound feeding value is greater be- 
cause of its high sugar content. Grows part- 
ly out of the ground and is easily harvested. 
Fine for fattening cattle and equally as 
good as other stock beets for general feed- 
ing.

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.

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE 
Every hog-raiser should grow Artichokes, 
for they come year after year and hogs thrive 
on them. In the fall when they have matured,. 
turn the hogs into the field, and they will feed 
on them all winter, except when the ground 
is wet or frozen. You grow them just as you 
would potatoes: Cut them two eyes to the 
piece and plant 2 inches deep, 15 to 18 inches 
apart in 3 to 314-foot rows. Requires 3 to 5 
bushels to plant an acre. Plant during March 
or April, the earlier the better; they stand con- 
siderable drought and extreme cold weather.

CHUFAS OR EARTH ALMONDS 
The Chufa is a species of ground nut, mos} 
easily grown. Any land suitable for corn, cot- 
ton or peanuts should make a good crop of . » 
Chufas. Inexpensive to harvest as the hogs 
do the work. In the fall pull up a few plants 
for your stock to taste, and they will then 
go over the entire field and will attend to the 
harvesting. Plant from April until the end of 
May, in 244 to 3-foot rows, dropping 3 to 5 
Chufas together, 16 to 18 inches apart in the 
row, and cover 2 inches deep. Requires 1 to 
14% pecks to plant an acre.

MAMMOTH CHILI SQUASH — 
The largest of the squashes. The fruits are ° 
long and slightly pointed. It often attains a 
weight of 100 pounds and is used chiefly for 
stock feeding and exhibition purposes. Plant . 
after weather becomes fully settled and the 
ground is warm and dry, in hills 6 to 8 feet 
apart. Slightly elevate the hills and place 
7 or 8 seeds in each, finally leaving but three 
of the strongest plants. Press the seeds down ~ 
firmly before covering, and cover early 
planted ones 1 inch deep, and late ones 114 
inches. One ounce of seed makes 40 hills, — 
2 to 3 pounds to an acre. Matures in about -
