SOY BEANS 
Tests of the nutritive value 
of Soy Beans demonstrate that 
they are excellent for feeding 
purposes, and recognized as one 
of the most important forage 
crops for the South, as well as 
a nitrogen gatherer of the 
greatest value. The plant 
thrives in hot, dry weather and 
does equally well on heavy and 
light soils. Hither broadcast or 
in drills from May to July. Sow 
broadcast 1 to 1% bushels to 
the acre of the large seeded 
varieties and % bushel to 3 
pecks of the small seeded 
varieties. In drills sow about 
11% pecks of the large varieties 
and about 1 peck of the small 
varieties.

deep, in rows 38 feet wide, leav- 
ing 12 inches between the beans 
in the row, and give one culti- 
vation. The vines make such 
remarkable growth that they 
soon cover the ground with 
dense foliage, In more north- 
erly sections where the pods 
will not mature, the vines make 
good pasturage for cattle.

STOCK BEETS 
or MANGLE 
Culture: 6 to 8 pounds of 
seeds are allowed per acre, 
rS and they are planted from 
Sainte April to July. Field Beets are 
handled in much the same way 
as the garden varieties, except 
that the drills must be at least 
2 feet apart, and the plants are 
thinned to about 10 inches in the row. Cultivation must 
be constant and thorough to keep down the weeds until 
the plants are well developed.

Mammoth Long Red. Long Red, which grows very 
large and well out of the ground. It has long, straight 
roots of a medium red color; does best on light soils.

12 lbs. per acre broadcast, or 6 lbs. in drills. 
Very heavy yields are obtained from Crotalaria; green 
weight of 3500 pounds per acre is not uncommon, A 
remarkable cover crop and soil builder and this is the 
only purpose of the crop, as it is not recommended for 
livestock. The actual cash value of nitrogen returned 
to the soil is estimated about $20.00 per acre, and besides 
the humus is of untold value—increases the water-holding 
capacity of the soil and prevents erosion. Many report 
the doubling of farm crops when following Crotalaria. 
It succeeds well in all the southern States, can easily 
be eradicated, and will grow on sweet or sour soil. Re- 
quires no lime, inoculation, fertilization or cultivation. 
Plant as soon as danger of frost is past for maximum 
growth. later plantings, however, have shown -good 
results. Our Seed is scarified and germinates readily.
