PEARL OR CATTAIL MILLET 
Sow 8 to 10 pounds per acre in rows 3 feet apart. 
Sow 20 to 25 pounds per acre broadcast for pasturage. 
This is one of the best yielders of green forage and hay, and 
continues to grow and produce through the entire season if cut 
frequently enough for hay to prevent its going to seed. A 
tropical plant making an enormous growth. Relished by all 
kinds of stock, and they eat it greedily. No plant will go further 
towards solving the forage problem in Florida. Plant in early 
spring as soon as frost danger is past in March, and can be 
planted from then on until September 1. Sow thinly in rows 
three feet apart. For pasturage, sow broadcast 20 to 25 Ibs. 
per acre.

OATS 
Sow 5 pecks (40 Ibs.) per acre in drills; broadcast 2 to 21 
bu. per acre. A bushel weighs 32 pounds. 
Plant in drills 114 feet apart and cover seed 2 to 3 inches 
deep. If the seed is broadcast, use tooth harrow. The best 
time to plant oats in Florida is October and November, but can 
be planted to January. Land should receive 300 to 400 Ibs. per 
acre of complete fertilizer, such as 4-7-5 at planting, followed 
by a side-dressing of 150 to 200 lbs. Nitrate of Soda or its 
equivalent after the crop is half grown. 
Southland (C.I. 5207) (Disease Resistant) (mew) (125 days.) 
This new disease-resistant variety was originated as a selection 
from a cross between several varieties by the North Florida Ex- 
periment Station at Quincy, Florida. It is the most resistant 
of any variety now available to Victoria Blight (Helmintho- 
sporium Rust) and Crown Rust, which two diseases attack al- 
most all other varieties of oats. It is a medium early oat, matur- 
ing approximately two weeks earlier than Camellia or Tift No. 
14, and about a week later than Fulgrain. The seed heads are 
unusually large and contain a rather large number of medium

Southland Oats 
size to large grains. The kernels are variable, ranging from 
light yellowish-white to yellow, frequently tinged with brown. 
The seed would classify as white oat under the present Fed- 
eral standards. Southland shows a spring or upright habit of 
growth, with very dark thick green foliage. The plants are 
characterized by exceptionally broad, coarse leaves and a small 
number of tillers; however, it is extremely vigorous 1n vegeta- 
tive growth. This variety is very susceptible to cold 
weather and adapted only to the Gulf coast region and to north 
central Florida. This outstanding development, because of its 
high resistance to Victoria Blight or Helminthosporium Rust 
and Crown Leaf Rust including races 45, 57 and similar races, 
its extreme earliness and high yields of grain (averaging over 
50 bushels per acre) as well as forage, gives it great promise as 
an ideal Florida oat for early grazing as well as for grain.

Camellia (Disease Resistant). (135 days.) This disease resistant 
variety originated from a cross of Bond and Adler, was devel- 
oped by the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station, Baton 
Rouge, La. It was first distributed in Louisiana about 1943, 
and has made oat production feasible in the southeast. Cam- 
ellia is highly resistant to Crown Rust, including the now pre- 
valent Race 45, which attacks other Bond derivatives such as 
Florida 167, Victoria Blight, and is also resistant to many Races 
of the oat Smuts. It matures in about the same time as the 
red rustproof strains. It is susceptible to Helminthosporium 
leaf and glume blotch as are most all oat varieties. It grows 
tall, has fairly stiff straw, and produces short, very plump 
red seeds. Camellia was first recommended for growing in 
Morida during 1948-49, primarily because of its Victoria 
Blight and Crown Rust resistance. In trials by the Florida 
Agricultural Experiment Station it has proved equal for 
grazmg and for seed production purposes to any variety now 
commercially available. The Florida Experiment Station, as 
a result of many trials, now recommends it for general grow- 
ing in the state for grazing and especially for grain, primarily 
because of its increased resistance to Crown Rust, although it 
is later in maturing than is desirable in north central Florida. 
It has a spring or upright type of plant growth and makes an 
excellent early grazing and grain oat.

PEANUTS 
Plant 1 bushel per acre. 
A bushel weighs 25 Ibs., except Valencia 22 Ibs. per bu. 
In addition to the crop of nuts for hogs, peanuts yield a large 
quantity of nutritious dry forage. Dixie Runner Peanuts are 
by far the best when grown to fatten hogs, as they can be left 
in the ground until eaten. 
It is better to shell the seed that is to be planted. If planted 
in corn, a bushel will plant 4 acres, but where planted solid 
it requires a bushel of seed per acre, in 3-foot rows, dropping 
seeds in hills a foot apart. Plant from March to July. For best 
results inoculate peanuts with Nitragin. (See page 69.) 
To control leaf spot dust with sulphur. To control cater- 
pillars use DDT up to three weeks before harvest. 
Shelled peanuts are treated so they will keep better and 
longer, and also to protect them from rot and disease after they 
are planted and to increase the stand. It is best not to use 
Nitragin inoculation with treated shelled peanuts. 
Valencia. (100 days.) This variety is adapted for growing 
in light sandy soils. It fills the demand for a peanut that is 
large and contains more nuts than the common varieties. Pods 
are large, well filled, usually containing 3 or 4 nuts.
