CHICKEN CORN (Shallu or Egyptian Wheat) 
Sow 8 to 10 pounds per acre. 
This is a sorghum with extra large, loose, bushy heads, cov- 
ered thickly with small grains. If left standing, the grains drop 
off in a scattering manner, and the chickens gather them. If 
grown on a large scale, the large, well filled heads can be cut 
at maturity and fed to the poultry as desired. It is best to sow 
the seed thinly in three to four foot rows, leaving two to three 
plants to every three feet of row. If planted in small batches 
it is best to plant near the chicken houses so chickens can feed 
on the seeds as they fall. Chicken Corn, with ease of growth, 
resistance to most foliage diseases, a sure cropper and heavy 
yielder, will go a long way towards solving the poultry feed 
problem. The cheapest and best chicken feed you can grow. 
Plant from March to August.

CROTALARIA 
Sow 10 to 20 pounds per acre. 
Crotalaria is particularly desirable as a cover-crop for groves, 
truck and farm-lands, and does well on all kinds of soil except 
muck. It is a legume, thus adding a large amount of nitrogen 
to the soil. It makes a very profuse growth, furnishing an 
abundance of green material for humus. It can be mowed once 
a year, just as it starts to bloom; this will keep it from becom- 
ing too coarse. If cut 10 inches above the surface of the ground, 
the plant will produce the second growth and sufficient seed 
for reseeding the land the following year. 
Crotalaria should be sown broadcast from March to June, 
on well-prepared land, at the rate of 10 to 20 pounds of Spec- 
tabilis seed per acre, depending on how thick the coverage is 
desired, and harrowed lightly. 
Be sure to inoculate Crotalaria seed with Nitragin before 
planting. By so doing you will not only have the assurance 
of a surer stand, but a better crop, and the succeeding crop 
will have the benefit of a larger amount of nitrogen stored 
in the Crotalaria roots. (See page 47.) 
Crotalaria Spectabilis. This vigorous growing, long-leaved 
variety is not as fibrous as others, the growth is much heav- 
ier, and the stems are hollow. As a result, it can be plowed 
under easier and it rots much quicker. The seed matures early 
and uniformly, making it a sure and heavy seeder. Spectabilis 
does well on high ground, but is best adapted to the better 
grades of sandy soils. Leaves, stems and seed of this Crotalaria 
plant, green or dry, are poisonous to poultry and livestock.

CATTAIL OR PEARL MILLET 
Sow 8 to 10 pounds per acre. 
This is one of the best yielders of green forage and continues 
to grow and produce through the entire season if cut frequent- 
ly enough to prevent its going to seed. A tropical plant mak- 
ing an enormous growth. Relished by all kinds of stock, and 
they eat it greedily. No plant will go further towards solving 
the forage problem in Florida. Plant in early spring as soon 
as frost danger is past in March, and can be planted from then 
on until September 1. Sow thinly in rows three feet apart.

GOLDEN MILLET (Formerly called German Millet) 
Sow 1 bushel (50 Ibs.) per acre. 
Golden Millet is an important hay crop, relished by horses 
and cattle. Seed thickly, not less than one bushel per acre. 
For an early hay crop plant in March and April. For 
a second crop plant in July and August. It matures in 
from six to eight weeks after seeding. Cut while in bloom, 
before the seed hardens in the head, because after that the hay 
quality decreases. For a large yielding, nutritious, quick grow- 
ing hay crop there is nothing better than Golden Millet.

OATS 
Sow 5 pecks (40 Ibs.) per acre in drills; broadcast 2 to 
21% bu. per acre. 
A bushel weighs 32 pounds. 
Plant in drills 14% feet apart and cover seed 2 to 3 inches 
deep. If the seed is broadcast, use tooth harrow. The best 
time to plant oats in Florida is October and November, but 
can be planted to January. Land should receive 200 to 300 lbs. 
per acre of complete fertilizer, such as 3-8-5 at planting. 
Coker’s Fulgrain Strain 6. (120 days.) This is the best 
all around, general purpose oat for Florida. It combines early 
maturity with high yield, along with a stiff, storm resistant 
straw and a high degree of resistance to smut, leaf and crown 
rust. The heads are long and the grains are plump, heavy 
and of high feeding value. An extremely high yielder of 
high quality grain. As a result of years of breeding and 
selection, this oat is remarkably uniform in type and appearance.

Coker’s Victorgrain Strain 3. (125 days.) The _ highest 
producing strain of this leading variety, possessing stiffness of 
straw, high resistance to leaf rust and resistance to certain 
types of smut. This variety will not do well on poor soils or 
in areas where late spring droughts are common. An excellent 
medium early oat for the better soils of central and north Florida.

Quincy No. 1. (130 days.) This variety, developed at the 
North Florida Experiment Station, is a red oat, highly resistant 
to rust and immune to smut, and has very full, plump, 
heavy kernels. It is rather late in maturity, which would 
be a serious disadvantage as a grain crop on sandy land, due 
to spring drought cutting the grain yield in central and south 
Florida, where, because of its leafy early growth it is prin- 
cipally used as a winter grazing oat.

PEANUTS 
Plant 1 bushel per acre. 
A bushel weighs 25 Ibs., except Valencia 22 lbs. per bu. 
In addition to the crop of nuts for hogs, peanuts yield a large 
quantity of nutritious dry forage. Florida Runner Peanuts 
are by far the best when grown to fatten hogs, as they can be 
left in the ground until eaten, but not so with the Valencia 
or Spanish Peanuts, because they must be harvested as soon 
as matured, or they will sprout during the first wet spell. 
_It is better to shell the seed that is to be planted. If planted 
in corn, a bushel will plant 4 acres, but where planted solid 
it requires a bushel of seed per acre, in 3-foot rows, dropping 
seeds in hills a foot apart. Plant from March to July. For 
best results inoculate peanuts with Nitragin. (See page 47.) 
Valencia. (100 days.) This variety is adapted for growing 
in light sandy soils. It fills the demand for a peanut that is 
large and contains more nuts than the common varieties. Pods 
are large, well-filled, usually containing 3 or 4 nuts.

Small Spanish. (90 days.) This is the little white Spanish 
Peanut, very productive and one of the surest croppers. The 
nuts stick to the vine in harvesting and both tops and nuts are 
fed to cows, horses, and hogs as a whole-grain ration.

Improved Spanish. (95 days.) This variety can be planted 
closer than others, is more easily cultivated and gathered be- 
cause the nuts cling firmly to the roots. Not as large as some 
other kinds, but the nuts entirely fill the pod and are very sweet 
and delicious in flavor. Very easily cured.

Florida Runner. (120 days.) This is the principal variety 
for hog feed, as the nuts will remain in the ground in good 
condition all fall until eaten out by the hogs.
