DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE NITROGEN SHORTAGE 
Until the war is over there just won’t be enough nitrogen to 
go around, but fortunately, there is a simple, practical and 
economical way for growers to solve this shortage. Four-fifths 
of the air above our land is nitrogen. It is there for the taking 
by planting legume crops, such as all the clovers, cow peas, 
beggarweed, crotalaria, soy beans and velvet beans listed and 
described on these pages. An acre of these legume crops takes 
from 50 to 150 lbs. of nitrogen per acre from the air in one 
season. This is as much nitrogen as is contained in 300 to 
1000 lbs. of commercial Nitrate of Seda. 
Never plant any of these nitrogen-fixing legume crops with- 
out inoculating the seed before planting with Nitragin (see 
page 47). Every acre of legumes planted in 1945 for feed or 
cover crop should be inoculated with Nitragin in order to pro- 
vide the land with a good part of the nitrogen it needs. In 
this way you will avoid having nitrogen starved crops and a 
nitrogen starved farm before the war is over.

ALYCE CLOVER 
Sow 10 to 15 pounds per acre. 
Used as a cover crop, soil builder, for hay, and as a pasture 
plant. It has shown great promise especially in Central and 
North Central Florida. Experimental data shows that the best 
time for planting Alyce clover in Florida is during spring, pre- 
ferably April, May and June. It must be planted on well- 
drained soil. This plant cannot survive on water-logged soils. 
Soil should be free of contamination with rootknot. Seed 
should be planted on well prepared ground and covered very 
lightly, from %4 to 1 inch; deeper plantings result in failure. 
Pack the soil after seeding, if possible. The crop is similar to 
alfalfa in chemical composition and in nutritive value. It makes 
a palatable hay. Cut for hay when it begins to flower. It is a 
good soil builder, and does well on all types of soil, except 
heavy, wet land; not as well adapted, however, to high, dry 
sandy land as is crotalaria. The most economical fertilizer 
application is 200 to 400 pounds per acre of 0-16-16 mixture. 
Lime soil and inoculate seed with Nitragin before planting.

WHITE DUTCH CLOVER 
Sow 12 to 15 Ibs. per acre alone, or 6 to 8 lbs. per acre 
in a mixture. 
Recommended principally for mixtures in perennial pastures. 
Furnishes abundant grazing throughout the year in the 
south. Also useful for lawns, especially in mixtures. Does well 
with Bermuda and Dallis Grass. Succeeds best on moist ground 
and during wet seasons. Sow in the late fall and early win- 
ter from October to January. Lime soil, 750 to 1500 lbs. per 
acre, and inoculate seed with Nitragin before planting. (See 
page 47.)

BENNE OR SESAME 
Sow 3 to 5 pounds per acre drilled. 
A tall growing annual herb, grows 3 to 5 feet, producing 
flowers followed by seed pods, which shatter the oily seeds 
in great profusion. These seeds are relished by poultry and a 
great use at present is a crop to attract and feed wild birds, 
especially quail and partridge. This is one of the best plants 
that can be grown for poultry feed. Plant from March to July, 
drilling seed thinly in rows three to four feet apart. Cultivate 
the same as corn. Benne matures in about four weeks and 
seeds will continue to develop for about three months after it 
begins to ripen. Benne will do well on any soil suitable for 
corn. We have only the native giant or tall variety.

BEGGARWEED (Florida Clover) 
Sow 10 pounds per acre. 
Perfectly adapted to Florida sandy soil, and makes one of the 
finest pastures. A splendid quality of most nutritious hay. 
Where the land is once well seeded with Beggarweed, you 
do not have to plant it any more, as it will come up year after 
year. If cut for hay at the time the first flowers appear, the 
roots will send up a second crop which may be saved for seed 
and from which enough seed will scatter to insure a crep for 
next season. 
The seed may also be scattered in the corn rows at the time 
of the last cultivation. For the best quality of hay, the crop 
should be cut when 3 to 4 feet high, or at the beginning of the 
blooming period. Plant the seed from April to August, at the 
rate of 10 pounds per acre. Cover seed lightly, as it is small, 
and if put in the ground too deep it cannot germinate. Inocu- 
late seed with Nitragin. (See page 47.)
