COW PEAS 
FOR SOIL IMPROVEMENT 
WHEN AND HOW TO SEED 
Sow one to two bushels per acre 
broadcast. Two to three pecks in drills. 
When sown with soy beans, kaffir 
corn, sorghum and sudan grass sow 
half a bushel soy beans or one peck 
kaffir corn or sorghum or 10 pounds 
sudan grass with one bushel cow peas 
to the acre, 
THE WHIPPOORWILL. (90 days.) Also 
known as speckled. The seeds are 
buff, brown or grey depending on 
type, and are speckled; they are 
spoken of as bush peas, but will 
make vines when planted on rich 
land; on poor soil they produce few 
vines and many peas. The plants 
grow upright, two to five feet tall— 
half bushy or semi-erect. The Whip- 
poorwill is the most popular general 
purpose stock pea for either seed or 
hay.

Inoculate Your Legume 
With NITRAGIN 
Many believe once a field has been planted with inoculated 
Legume seeds that any future similar Legumes planted on 
the same field need not be inoculated. Field tests have 
shown that better crops are harvested when Legume seeds 
are inoculated even when planted on fields where inoculated 
seeds of the same Legume crops had grown the previous 
year. It seldom pays to depend upon natural inoculation. 
The safest method is to inoculate legume seed each time 
the seed is planted.

MUNG BEANS 
BLACK PEAS. (120 days.) Seeds jet black, viny 
or running, making a fine growth of vines and 
leaves—shy seeder, splendid land improver; 
most valuable as a forage crop; used also as a 
general purpose pea. If broadcast for hay mix 
some upright-growing pea with them to hold vines 
off the ground for cutting. There is also a bush 
variety Black pea. 
MIXED PEAS. (Hay 90 days.) For hay and soil im- 
proving, our mixtures consist of upright and vining 
peas—the upright growing peas, such as Whip- 
poorwill or New Era (when used) both hold the 
vining or running peas. 
CLAY PEAS. (110 days.) The seeds are buff colored, 
medium size, the plant is large, vigorous growing 
and of vining or running habit, pods are large 
and yellowish. The Clay pea is used mostly for 
soil improving or green manuring. 
RED RIPPER PEAS. (110 days.) Seeds are red, it is 
a vigorous growing vining pea. Like the Clay or 
Black makes fine yield of long vines. Shy seeder, 
very popular where known. Planted for soil im- 
proving and in mixtures for hay. 
NEW ERA PEAS. (80 days.) The seeds have a blue 
cast with many black specks—an early maturing 
upright growing variety, very prolific producer of 
peas, small vines cure quickly, splendid for hay. 
Seeds are smaller than Whippoorwill and it does 
not Tequire as many to plant an acre.
