‘““Canada Peas’’ for Green Feed— 
Plant early. For cattle, sheep, hogs. 
Growth is rapid, gives green feed when 
other seedings are just starting. Sow 
Canada Peas with oats. Oats support 
the vines—make palatable combina- 
tion. 1% bushel each per acre. Drill 
peas 3” to 342” deep. Then drill oats 
14%” to 2” deep. Pasture when about 
one foot high. Feed gradually at first to 
avoid bloating. After cut, a new growth 
will appear. Don't confuse with cow 
peas. Cow peas dare not be planted 
early with oats—they will rot in cold 
ground. 
“‘Korean’’ Lespedeza—tThe South's 
great hay producer. Thrives on lands 
too poor for other clovers. Popular from 
Delaware and Maryland south. Good 
soil enricher. Annual legume, killed by 
frost, but often reseeds itself. Drought 
resister. Produces heavy crops in South. 
Sow 20 to 25 pounds per acre. 
‘““Sericea’’ Lespedeza — Perennial 
strain of “Lespedeza” yielding finer 
hay. Preferred by many. Taller. Thrives 
on poor soils and in dry seasons. Lasts 
several seasons. Not a Northern crop. 
“‘Japanese’”’ Millet—Let’s overlook 
its name ... but consider its usefulness. 
Most popular millet in Northern-Central 
areas. Known as “Million-Dollar Grass.” 
Has made tremendous yields—up to 20 
tons per acre. Tall variety. Thrives on 
poor soil. Valuable emergency hay. For 
green feeding, cut just before seed 
heads appear. Sow '2 bushel per acre 
(32 pounds per bushel). 
“Golden Millet’’—In Pennsylvania 
yields good crops in from seven to nine 
weeks. Makes satisfactory leafy hay. 
Sow 3 pecks per acre (48 pounds per 
bushel). HUNGARIAN MILLET used by 
some folks in more northern sections.

“‘Rape’”’ . . . for Quick Pasture— 
Inexpensive, prolific. For sheep and 
hogs. Thrives on all soils with little 
preparation. Sow 5 to 6 pounds per 
acre, through spring up to end of Au- 
gust. Alone, with other pasture seeds, 
or in corn fields. Makes second growth. 
Pasture when less than 10 inches high. 
Stands hard usage. Easy to grow. A 
great provider for many purposes. 
“Hairy (Winter) Vetch’ — Excel- 
lent green feed when cut in full bloom, 
as hay when pods are about half formed, 
Or aS green manure. Good on sandy 
soils, or where red clover fails. A hardy 
biennial usually sown in late summer or 
early fall. Be sure to inoculate. Because 
of great length of vetch plants, plant 
along with small amount of grain, such 
as wheat or rye. 
“Spring Vetch’’—Not winter hardy, 
but often used successfully among 
spring pastures. Cost is lower than the 
hairy winter variety. Makes good 
growth when planted in the spring. 
““Cow Horn Turnip’’—Improves soil, 
provides forage. Tops relished by 
sheep, hogs, poultry. When sown in 
corn fields, penetrate deeply, bring fer- 
tility to surface. Add humus to soil. 
sow 2 to 4 pounds per acre. 
“HOG PASTURE MIXTURE’”’ 
11 WEEKS’ USE AT LOW COST

pasturage when earlier crops have 
failed. Grows until frost, but will not 
winter. An abundant producer of flesh 
and fat, also of wool. For cattle, cut and 
haul to barn to prevent trampling. Sec- 
ond growth will then appear. Plant 70 
pounds per acre, broadcast or with 
seeder, between June and August l. 
Harrow in.
