tonnage, quicker growth and shading the young 
trees during hot weather. Florida citrus growers 
_are.commencing to, plant it Jiberally.. Trucker 
growers are planting it in a bigger way. It requires 
from 8 to 10. weeks from time of. germination to 
time of plowing under. It should be plowed under 
when the seed is in the dough. Attains a height of 
from 8 to 10 feet. Individual plants will make a 
limb spread of from 4 to 6 feet. The foliage is like 
an Acacia, with finely cut small leaves, They decay 
very rapidly. The root growth is very rapid, as 
much as 3 feet from tip to tip, and 18 inches deep 
in eight weeks. They are entirely covered . with 
nodules. It has no known value other than as a 
fertilizer crop, or for game preserves. Quail are 
very fond of the seed, which are produced in abun- 
dance, and are capable of lying on the ground a 
long while, and remaining in good condition. Citrus 
growers usually drill 30 lbs. of seed to the acre, 
between the trees. Trucker growers should sow 40 
Ibs. per acre and give a light covering. Cotton and 
corn farmers have found Sesbania the solution of 
keeping up their soils, sowing at the rate of 12 to 
20 Ibs. per-acre. For the period of growth, we 
know of no legume which is equal as a producer of 
nitrogen and humus. Cultivation readily kills it.
