MUNG BEANS 
Inoculate with Nitragin ‘‘C’’ 
Mung Beans are upright in growth, strong 
and vigorous, free from disease and make 
excellent hay. Are splendid soil builders. 
They are also used extensively for sprouting 
for use in many Chinese dishes. Beans ma- 
ture in 90 to 100 days. Ours is the true 
Oriental strain. Plant seeds March to Au- 
gust, 5 pounds to the acre drilled in rows 
three and one half feet apart. 
EARLY SPECKLED 
VELVET BEANS 
Inoculate with Nitragin ‘‘E’’ 
Very fine for a forage crop and a good soil 
builder. Grow rapidly and are more prolific 
than most forage plants. Stock relish the 
vines and will fatten on them. When plowed 
under, they furnish abundant plant food and 
humus. Fine for planting with corn. Plant 
in rows 3 to 5 feet apart, 15 to 30 pounds 
per acre, March to June.

Cow Peas are the outstanding soil

SOY BEANS 
Inoculate with Nitragin ‘‘S’’ for Increased Yield 
Culture—Plant April to July. In planting put the seed to moisture, even if 
necessary to plant three to four inches deep. Shallow planting best if mois- 
ture available. Yellow and white varieties, plant 30 pounds per acre in 36 
inch rows for beans and seed; broadcast for hay, 60 to 75 pounds per acre. 
Laredos and Red Tanners plant 30 to 45 pounds per acre depending on 
richness of the soil. 
Arksoy—The best medium-early va- 
riety for crushing, with a high oil 
content. Erect in growth making 
them easy to combine. Heavy pro- 
ducer. Non-shattering about the 
same as other yellow varieties. Ma- 
tures 135 days. 
Mamloxi — 140 to 145 days. Large 
yellow bean with light brown eye. 
Plant erect and bushy and makes 
good hay, although the hay is rather 
coarse. Production 30 to 35 bushels 
per acre. 
Southern Laredo—130 to 145 days. 
Small black bean which has _ pro- 
duced hay yields of 2.07 tons per 
acre. Very fine quality hay. Shat- 
ters badly and must be harvested 
when ready or a considerable loss 
will result. 

Red Tanner—135 days. A hay bean 
of much value. Reddish-brown seed, 
which is produced in great quantity. 
A fine quality of hay which is claim- 
ed to be most palatable. Leaves hold 
somewhat better than the Laredo. 
Quite resistant to weeds also. 


| COW PEAS 
ease-resisting 
variety. Similar to 
builder and general hay crop for 
summer planting. They thrive on 
practically every kind of soil and, 
when properly inoculated, they are 
a low cost and sure means of im- 
proving soil. In food value, they are 
nearly the equal of Alfalfa—fine for 
work stock, meat and dairy cattle. 
Can be planted from March to Au- 
gust, broadcast 60 to 90 lbs. of 
seed per acre or in rows 3 to 4 feet 
apart, 20 lbs. of seed to the acre. 
Inoculate with Nitragin ‘‘E.”’ 
Table and Field Varieties 
Brown-Eye Crowder — Sometimes 
called sugar Crowders—although 
the pure white is the real sugar 
Crowder. Bears much larger quanti- 
ties than the white Crowder and 
very desirable. 
Cream—Extensively used for table. 
Prolific bearer and used green or 
dry. Good soil builder. 4 to 5 inch 

der and of good flavor when young. 
Black Eye—The most prolific and 
widely used of any of the varieties. 
Pods 5 to 6 inches long, average 9 
peas to pod. 
Hereford (Pole-Cat Pea) — Also 
known as ‘‘Calico Pea.’’ Similar to 
the Crowder pea—very fine for 
table use. Speckled red and white 
in color. Drouth resistant. Particu- 
larly well adapted to West Texas. 
Brown Crowder — A fine flavored 
table pea, early maturity. Very pro- 
lific. Pods average 7 inches, 8 to 9 
peas. 
Purple Hull Peas — Especially fine 
for canning. Pods average 7 inches, 
8 to 9 peas, cream colored, purple 
brown eye. Hulls are purple and 
somewhat tough. 
Field Varieties 
Brabham—An early wilt-proof, dis- 
Whippoorwills except smaller seed, 
requiring less for planting. When 
planted early, two cuttings of hay 
can be had. Pods average 6 inches, 
11 peas to pod. 
Chinese Red—A very prolific, splen- 
did hay pea, 6 inch pods, 8 peas to 
pod. This pea is offering much 
greater yields than many other va- 
rieties. 
Clay—Medium sized pea of running 
habit. Good as a soil builder. Vines 
long and leafy. Matures a little late. 
6 to 7 inch pods, average 8 peas to 
pod. 
Speckled Whippoorwill The most 
popular and widely grown early va- 
riety. Grows upright, easily gather- 
ed. Brown speckled pea. 5 inch pods, 
average 5 peas to pod. 
Mixed Peas—A mixture of the prin- 
cipal varieties. Very popular for hay 
and cover crops. 



AUSTRIAN 
WINTER PEAS 
Inoculate with Nitragin ‘‘C’’ 
Austrian Winter Peas resemble the Early English 
Pea in seed size and the Canada Pea in character 
of vine. Recommended as a winter legume cover 
crop for soil improvement, when inoculated with 
Nitragin. Austrian Winter Peas thrive even after 
being subjected to zero temperatures. Do well on 
most any soil and grow from 4 to 5 feet tall on 
fertile soil. Provide excellent grazing for live stock 
or a good hay crop or an outstanding green manure 
Fruit growers report remarkably increased 
fertility following a winter’s growth of inoculated 
Austrian Winter Peas, planted in orchards and 
plowed under in the spring. Plant from September 
to November also in the spring. 30 to 35 pounds to 
the acre when planted alone. If planted following 
a cultivated crop, it is not necessary to plow the 
ground, simply disc or harrow and cover the seeds 
lightly with a drag or roller. We recommend plant- 
crop. 
MAGNOLIA 
WINTER VETCH 
Inoculate with Nitragin ‘‘C’’ 
been recorded. 
ing with Rye, Barley or Wheat to hold the vines off 
the ground. A bushel of small grain with 20 to 25 
pounds of Austrian Winter Peas to the acre. 
Page 24 
The method of planting and cultivating Vetch has a tremendous in- 
fluence on the growth, weather hardiness and final yield. First in- 
oculate seed with Nitragin; then apply 150 pounds or more of 20% 
Phosphate, to the acre. Loosen soil from 3 to 5 inches; plant seeds 
not less than 24% inches deep; sow 20 to 25 pounds of seed per acre 
from August to November for winter pasture and soil improvement, 
and in the early spring for summer pasture. We recommend equal 
amounts of Vetch and Oats sown together so Vetch will have proper 
support in growing. When crop is turned under in the spring for 
green manure, dise or harrow the land before planting another crop. 
Hairy Winter Vetch—Proved the best of the vetches in five years of 
tests in the Texas Agricultural Experiment Stations. This variety not 
only produced the highest yields during each year of the test, but 
was more dependable during periods of cold weather and other ad- 
verse climatic conditions. Under average conditions yielded from 8 to 
10 tons per acre; 12 to 14 tons were not unusual and 19 tons have 
Common Vetch—Not quite so hardy as Hairy Winter Vetch but very 
fine and well adapted to most of Texas.
