LUPINES (Continued) 
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. 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. The 
plants have a high protein value averaging approximately 
18% of the dry matter.

Sweet Yellow Lupine. (White Seeded). The Sweet Yellow 
Lupine seems to be more palatable and therefore is more 
readily grazed by cattle than the Sweet Blue strains, and will 
recover more rapidly than the blue after grazing. The total 
yield of the Yellow Lupine compares favorably with the Sweet 
Blue Lupine. The sweet strains of yellow lupine tend to be 
more tender and less resistant to excessive cold than the blue, 
and thus the Yellow Lupine is more particularly adapted to 
the southern portion of the Lupine Belt than to the more 
northern areas.

PEARL OR CATTAIL MILLET 
Sow 8 to 10 pound 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 lbs. 
per acre.

Southland Oats 
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). (125 days.) This 
disease-resistant variety was originated as a selection from a 
cross between several varieties by the north Florida Experi- 
ment 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 
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 foilage. The plants are 
characterized by exceptionally broad, coarse leaves and a small 
number of tillers, however, it is extremely vigorous in vegeta- 
tive growth. This variety is very susceptible to cold weather 
and adapted only to the Gulf coast region and to north cen- 
tral 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.

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.
