Crotalaria Spectabilis—The Wonder Soil Builder 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “E” 
Crotalaria spectabilis is a great summer legume, adding nitrogen to the soil at the rate of about 800 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre. A 
yield of 40,000 pounds of green material per acre is not uncommon with crotalaria. The organic materials produced by the decomposition of cro- 
talaria spectabilis are able to attack unavailable plant food materials, and make them useful to the crop. Crotalaria spectabilis 
humus and more nitrogen per acre than any other crop. This makes it the cheapest cover crop to grow. 
roduces more 
t has succeeded in the Southern States 
and as far north as Vincennes, Indiana. It is not a host to injurious insects and diseases. It will reseed each year and is not a pest. 
Crotalaria spectabilis is used as aq summer cover and soil builder in groves, orchards, vineyards, etc. It is planted in corn and other farm 
crops at the last cultivation and makes a tremendous growth the same season. It will build up the worn out land so common on every farm. It 
has been known to double crop yields following it. As shown by actual test Crotalaria is about four times as good for soil building as velvet 
beans. 
Crotalaria spectabilis can be planted as 
soon as frost danger is past. It should be 
planted in well prepared soil and can be 
planted broadcast or in drills. Ten pounds of 
seed are required per acre for broadcast 
pleniag and about half that much when 
rilled. 
Caution: Do not allow chickens to peck up 
seed atter being planted, as the seed will 
sour in their craw and will cause death at 
times. The growing plant is also injurious to 
stock and pouitry. Do not allow grazing as 
this plant is recommended only as a soil 
builder. Lb., 70c; 2 lbs., $1.30, postpaid. Ask 
for prices in larger quantities. 
BUILD YOUR SOIL 
Livestock, pastures and cover crops 
are the quickest, best and most profit- 
abl2 way to replenish plant foods in 
soil. 
Better pastures will permit more live 
stock on the farm, which in themselves 
will produce more profits for the owner 
and at the same time contribute further 
profits in restoring plant food to the soil. 
Knowledge of this fact is causing farm- 
ers and land owners to build up per- 
manent pastures, with grasses and 
clover—to do more pasture farming.
