CHICKEN CORN. (Shallu or Egyptian Wheat) 
Sow 8 to 10 pounds per acre for grain. 
Sow 25 to 30 pounds per acre for cover crop. 
This crop is being grown extensively and very successfully as a 
summer green manure or cover crop in many sections of 
Florida, especially in muck soils. It grows rapidly and makes 
an immense amount of vegetative matter to plow under in a 
relatively short time. It should be borne in mind that it is not 
a legume. If allowed to go to seed for a grain crop like other 
sorghums, it makes large, loose, bushy heads, covered thickly 
with small grains, which if left standing, shatter off, and the 
chickens gather them. If grown on a large scale for grain, 
heads can be cut in the dough stage, cured and threshed like 
other grains. The grain is of high feeding value and can be fed 
to chickens, hogs and cattle as desired. For grain sow the seed 
thinly in three to four foot rows, leaving 3 to 4 plants every 3 
feet of row. Chicken Corn, with ease of growth, resistance to 
most foliage diseases, a sure cropper and heavy yielder, will go 
a long way in solving the poultry feed problem. Plant from 
March to August.

CROTALARIA 
Sow 10 to 20 pounds per acre. 
Crotalaria is particularly desirable as a cover-crop for groves, 
truck and farm-lands, and does well on all kinds of soil except 
muck. It is a legume, thus adding a large amount of nitrogen 
to the soil. It is especially valuable because it is immune to 
nematodes causing root knot disease. It makes a very profuse 
growth, furnishing an abundance of green material for humus. 
Crotalaria should be sown broadcast from March to June, 
on well-prepared land, at the rate of 10 to 20 pounds of Spec- 
tabilis seed per acre, depending on how thick the coverage is 
desired, and harrowed lightly. 
It is desirable to inoculate Crotalaria seed with Nitragin 
before planting. By so doing you will not only have the assur- 
ance of a surer stand, but a better crop, and the succeeding 
crop will have the benefit of a large amount of Nitragin stored 
in the Crotalaria roots. (See page 73.) 
Crotalaria Spectabilis. This vigorous growing, long-leaved 
variety is not so fibrous as others, the growth is much heavier, 
and the stems are hollow. As a result, it can be plowed under 
easier and it rots much quicker. The seed matures early and 
uniformly, making it a sure and heavy seeder. Spectabilis does 
well on high ground, but is best adapted to the better grades 
of sandy soils. Leaves, stems and seed of this Crotalaria plant, 
green or dry, are poisonous to poultry and livestock.

HEGARI (Higear)—See Sorghum, page 46 
HAIRY INDIGO (Indigofera Hirsuta) 
Sow three to five pounds per acre in 30 inch drills, or sow 
6 to 10 Ibs. per acre broadcast 
A three purpose legume, used as a summer cover crop, for hay 
and for grazing. It will grow on and improve poor soil. It 
makes an ideal summer cover crop for citrus groves, harboring 
no troublesome insects, and it reseeds itself year after year. It 
has a deep tap root, making it very resistant to drought. The 
plants grow four to seven feet in height, and produce an 
abundance of hay and grazing. If grazed or harvested for hay 
before the stems become woody a second or third growth may 
be expected. 
Seed may be planted not over an inch deep, from the middle 
of March to the latter part of May, but early seedings are 
preferable. Heavier seedings are desired for green manure or 
forage, lighter seeding for seed. On poor soil 300 to 500 Ibs. per 
acre before seeding of a 0-10-10 or 0-14-10 fertilizer mixture is 
desirable. On extremely acid soils apply 1000 lbs. of lime per 
acre. It will grow on a wide range of soils, but sandy loam soils 
are best. It is sensitive to cold, and is killed by the first hard 
frost. It is best suited to the section of Florida from Gainesville 
south. It is highly resistant to root knot, and in general it is 
reasonably free from disease and insect injury, and is resistant 
to pumpkin bugs.

LUPINES 
Sow 50 to 60 Ibs. per acre broadcast, or preferably in drills 
with a grain drill. 
Lupines are adapted to north and central Florida where they 
are rapidly growing in popularity. Lupines are not affected by 
cold and make an ideal winter cover crop. Plant from late 
September to December, preferably in late September or Octo- 
ber, in well prepared soil, using between 250 and 300 Ibs. of 
Superphosphate per acre. Be sure to inoculate seed with 
Nitragin before planting. (See page 73.) Use double the 
amount recommended. 
Bitter Blue Lupine. This variety makes an ideal winter 
legume cover crop, and has rapidly grown in popularity as a 
soil builder, especially in large peanut growing areas since 
peanuts deplete soil fertility rapidly. Normal growth is about 
waist high and normal weight of green matter 20-30 tons per 
acre. It produces about three times as much growth as its fore- 
most competitors such as Winter Peas, Hairy Vetch, etc. It 
protects the soil from erosion and restores humus and plant 
food removed by peanuts and other crops. Peanut and corn 
yields following Bitter Blue Lupine have been greatly 
increased.

Sweet Blue Lupine. This variety is the pasture and feed 
counterpart of Bitter Blue Lupine. Both the plant and leaf are 
definitely sweet to the taste and are relished by and palatable 
to all kinds of livestock. As a result it may replace Bitter Blue 
Lupine within the next few years. Makes about the same 
growth and tonnage as Bitter Blue Lupine. Stock can be turned 
in on Sweet Blue Lupine as soon as it is about a foot high.
