WRITE FOR PRICES ON SOY BEANS 
Tests on the nutritive value of Soy Beans demonstrate that 
they are excellent for feeding purposes, and recognized as one 
of the most important forage crops for the South, as well as a 
nitrogen gatherer of the greatest value. The plant thrives in 
hot, dry weather and does equally well on heavy and light soils. 
Either broadcast or in drills from May to July. Sow broadcast 1 to 
1¥Y% bushels to the acre of the large seeded varieties and 1 
bushel to 3 pecks of the small seeded varieties. In drills sow 
about 1% pecks of the large varieties and about 1 peck of the 
small varieties.

acre, broadcast; 25 Ibs., in drills.

in June or July one inch deep, in 
rows 3 feet wide, leaving 12 inches 
between the beans in the row, and 
give one cultivation. The vines make 
such remarkable growth that they 
soon cover the ground with dense 
foliage. In more northerly sections, 
where the pods will not mature, the 
vines make good pasturage for cattle. 
(Write for prices.) 
STOCK BEETS 
or MANGLE 
Culture: 6 to 8 pounds of seeds 
are allowed per acre, and they are 
planted from April to July. Field Beets are handled in much the 
same way as the garden varieties, except that the drills must be 
at least 2 feet apart, and the plants are thinned to about 10 inches 
in the row. Cultivation must be constant and thorough to keep 
down the weeds until the plants are well developed.

postpaid. 
SLUDSTRUP. This variety has been repeatedly awarded the 
“highest honors in the Danish Agricultural Exhi- 
bitions. The color is a reddish yellow, and while the roots do not 
grow as long as those of the Mammoth Long Red, the growth is 
more above ground, thicker and heavier. Desirable sort. Oz.,

CROTALARIA 
A remarkable fast growing legume that produces a heavy growth 
of foliage for humus, and a high percentage of Nitragin from the 
nodules in the roots. It is wonderful for building up poor soil 
too low in fertility for other crops. 
The seed should be sown from April to July 1Y% inches deep, 
using 6 to 8 lbs. of seed, if planted in 3 ft. rows; or 20 to 25 Ibs. 
if sown broadcast. For best results, the seed should be scarified 
and inoculated to produce quicker germination. 
GIANT STRIATA. One of the best varieties on account of 
its tremendous growth and seed produc- 
tion. Grows rapidly, choking out weeds and grass, and frequently 
will yield ten to fifteen tons of green manure per acre. When 
this is turned back into the soil with the nitrogen gathered by the 
nodules on its roots, yields of corn and other crops are increased 
enormously. (Not edible.) Lb., 45¢; 5 Ibs., $1.60; 10 Ibs., $3.05, 
postpaid. Write for prices in larger quantities.
