MAINE GROWN 
RED BLISS 
To those who prefer a po- 
tato with a pink skin and 
white flesh, or those who 
grow for markets where 
this color is in demand, we 
recommend Red Bliss. It 
is one of the very earliest, 
nearly round, peels without 
waste and a fine yielder. 
It is a sure and uniform 
cropper, a strong grower, 
is of good size, cooks 
white and mealy and 
measures up to every re- 
quirement of a first-class 
first early potato. Its pro- 
ductiveness and fine qual- 
ity commend it. 
Potato Planting Recommendations by the Virginia 
Extension Division 
Maximum yields per acre at a low unit cost of production should 
be the aim of every grower. To that end the following recom- 
mendations are made: 
Plant only such land to potatoes as will normally produce 50 
barrels or more of No. 1 potatoes per acre. 
Wherever possible, turn under a green manure crop. Experi- 
ments at the Virginia Truck Experiment Station show increased 
yields ranging from 44 per cent to 61 per cent as a result of this 
practice. 
Use only good seed. Sufficient quantities of certified seed should 
be available to supply the demand. 
Lime where necessary. Fertilize adequately and properly.

CHUF A or Grass Nuts 
With the increasing interest in hog-raising in the South, there 
should be a corresponding increasing interest in hog-feeding 
crops that are about equal 
to corn in feeding value, 
and that can be fed cheap- 
er. Hogs not only fatten 
quickly on them, but the 
meat is sweeter than when 
corn-fed; some claim it is 
equal to that cf peanut- 
fed hogs. 
Any land suitable for 
corn, cotton or peanuts 
will make a profitable crop 
of chufas, but they do best 
on light sandy soils. Plant 
from April 1st till July 1st 
in 2% to 3-foot rows, drop- 
ping three to five chufas 
together, 15 te 18 inches 
apart in the row, and cover 
2 inches deep. In the fall 
pull a few plants with the 
roots and give your hogs 
and poultry a taste, and 
they will go over the en- 
tire field and will attend to 
the harvesting. 1 to 1% 
pecks plant an acre. By 
ymail postpaid, 5 lbs. $1.45; 
10 lbs. $2.35; 1% bus. $4.30.

MUNG BEANS 
There has developed an enormous demand for Mung Beans for 
commercial sprouting and canning. Heretofore the supply came 
from China and other Asiatic countries. The bean sprouts are 
used particularly by Chinese restaurants for making chop suey 
and other Chinese dishes. They are adapted to the same general 
area now occupied by the Cowpea and will do well in most all sec- 
tions of the South. It is a legume used to some extent as a forage, 
pasture and soil building crop. Grows well on any type of soil, but 
best suited to warm sandy loams, Plant either in 3 to 3%4%4-foot 
rows, or with grain drill from May to July. In rows plant 5 to 8 
lbs. or in drills 15 to 25 lbs. If grain is used, each alternate hole 
should be stopped. Inoculate with soybean culture. 
N AVY B EAN S Michelite Strain 
An improved strain—very prolific—maturing in 90 to 95 days, 
and larger yielding than the ordinary navy bean. The pods on the 
stalk stay off the ground, as they have a stronger root growth, 
which is most important when heavily loaded with pods. Navy 
beans should be planted by every farmer for dried beans for soup 
or baked beans all winter. Nothing tastes better in cold weather. 
Plant in June or July, 2 or 3 beans in hills a foot apart, in 3-foot 
rows; 1 lb. to 100 feet; 15 lbs. per acre. Cultivate early, before 
they blossom, but not deeply, nor while wet with dew.

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES 
Every hog raiser should grow artichekes, for they come year 
after year; the hogs will harvest them without cost, will fatten 
on them, and they will keep the hogs in fine condition—it is 
claimed that artichokes prevent hog cholera. They are grown 
just like potatoes; cut them two eyes to the piece, and plant 2 
inches deep, 15 to 18 inches apart in 3 to 344-foot rows. In the fall 
when they have matured, turn the hogs among them and they 
will feed on them all winter except when the ground is wet 
or frozen. They p 
are m ore cheap- 
ly grown and 
more productive 
than potatoes, 
averaging 300 to 
400 bushels to the { 
acre. fe 
Although grown]: 
principally for 
hogs. they are 
fine food for cat- 
tle, sheep and 
horses; for dairy 
cattle it is claim- 
ed they are nearly 
equal to bran as! 
milk producers, 
Plant during March or April, the earlier the better; they will 
stand considerable drought and extreme cold, and can be planted 
earlier than potatoes. They grow well on any well-drained soil 
without much attention, and one planting does for several years. 
6 to 8 bushels plant an acre. By mail, qt. 35c; 4% peck 80c; peck
