5 to 10 pounds per acre.

height and gives from 65 to 80 per cent of its 
weight in juice. For syrup it should be planted 
in drills, using from 5 to 8 pounds of seed per 
acre. Planted in drills for silage use from 8 to 
12 pounds per acre. It may be sown broadcast

STRAIGHT HEAD RIBBON. This is a selection 
from the old Texas Crookneck variety, produc- 
ing a very similar if not larger stalk, but an 
upright head, yielding several hundred gallons 
of the syrup per acre. Does best planted in 3-foot 
rows, using about 5 pounds of seed per acre. Is 
also used extensively for ensilage on account 
of the enormous yield. Lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 70c, post-

to 158 days. The growth is very tall with many 
joints to the stalk, and necessarily a more 
vigorous root system, the tonnage production 
is greater than that of any other variey. This is 
a favorite Cane where sorghum production and 
ensilage tonnage is desired, and when the 
growing season is sufficiently long to mature it. 
Supply doubtful. Please write for prices. 
Crotalaria Spectabilis—The Wonder Soil Builder 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “E” 
Crotalaria spectabilis is used as a summer cover and boil builder in groves, orchards, vineyards, etc. It is planted in corn and other farm 
crops at the last cultivation and makes a tremendous growth the same season. It will 
build up the worn out land so common on every farm. It has 
been known to double crop vields following it. As shown by actual test Crotalaria is aboutfour times as good for soil building as velvetbeans 
Crotalaria spectabilis can be planted as 
soon as frost danger is past. It should be 
Planted in well prepared soil and can be 
planted broadcast or in drills. Ten pounds of 
seed are required per acre for broadcast plant- 
ing and about half that much when drilled. 
Caution: Do not allow chickens to peck up 
seed after being planted, as the seed will sour 
in their craw and will cause death at times. 
The growing plant is also injurious to stock and 
poultry. Do not allow grazing as this plant is 
recommended only as a soil builder. Lb., 40c; 
2 Ibs., 75c; 5 lbs., $1.65, postpaid. Ask for prices 
in larger quantities.

TODAY'S METHOD 
Livestock, pastures and cover crops are 
the quickest, best and most profitable 
way to replenish plant foods in soil. 
= 
Better pastures will permit more live- 
stock on the farm, which in themselves 
will produce more profits for the owner 
and at the same time contribute further 
profits in restoring plant food to the soil. 
Knowledge of this fact is causing farmers 
and land owners to build up permanent 
pastures, with grasses and clover—to do 
more pasture farming.
