Miscellaneous FARM CROPS 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
An excellent pasture and green forage crop 
for cattle, hogs, sheep and stock. It is high in 
feeding value, producing an abundant flow of 
milk in milch cows (feed rape to milch cows 
after milking, not before, to avoid slight cab- 
bage flavor to milk). Rape will grow 1} to 
3 feet tall—grows very rapidly—ready to use 
in 8 weeks. Prefers a rich mellow soil, will 
do well on most fairly good soils except sand 
or stiff clays, needs plenty of moisture to start. 
Plow deeply, disk well and harrow thor- 
oughly. Can be sown with spring grain or in 
combinaton with clover. Sow in drills 4 to 6 
pounds—broadcast 10 to 15 pounds per acre, 
about one inch deep. 
Postpaid, 1% lb. 25c¢; 1 lb. 60c; 5 lbs. $1.85. 
CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS 
This is truly a marvelous summer cover 
crop, a yield of 40,000 pounds of green ma- 
terial per acre is not uncommon. Splendid 
soil builder in orchards, etc. Fine with corn 
planted in same rows when corn is planted, 
or in corn and other farm crops at last cul- 
tivation. It will greatly increase crop yields 
following it. It is not offered as a feed crop, 
or hay crop, though a nearby farmer tells 
us his mules ate it readily. But it is really 
too valuable.as a fertilizer to feed. 
Thoroughly plow, disk and harrow the soil. 
Sow after danger of frost is past, when 
moisture is present, 10 to 15 pounds per acre 
broadcast or five pounds drilled in three-foot 
rows, using scarified seed only as with 
Sericea. Firm the soil immediately after 
planting to conserve the moisture, cultivate 
once or twice when planted in rows. 
LATE CROTALARIA. Although it makes 
about a foot more growth than any other 
Crotalaria averaging 7 feet high, and will 
yield 15 or more tons of green manure per 
acre, does not make its maximum growth as 
quickly as the early type. This strain should 
be used in all cases where early planting is 
possible. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. 65¢e; 5 lbs. $2.00. 
BROOM CORN 
BROOM CORN 
Broom corn is a heat-loving plant, and the 
best brush is produced where the summers 
are rather warm and where soils are fertile 
and fairly well supplied with moisture. Plant 
any time between April lst and July Ist, de- 
pending on locality and weather conditions. 
Plant in 3l4-foot rows, 8 to 10 inches apart. 
6 to 8 lbs. of seed plant an acre. 
IMPROVED EVERGREEN. The most productive 
variety in humid sections. Has a beautiful 
green brush and usually commands a high 
price. Plants 8 to 15 feet tall. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. 70c; 5 Ibs. $2.50. 
STANDARD DWARF. The leading dwarf 
type. It differs from other varieties chiefly 
in bearing fewer seed, most of which are 
borne near the tip of the brush, where they 
are easily removed in stripping. Many fine 
seed branches near the tip of the brush 
make this variety valuable for the outside 
of brooms. Plants 4 to 6 feet tall. 
Postpaid, 1 Ib. 70c; 5 Ibs. $2.50. 
RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER 
Plant and cultivate like corn in 214-foot 
rows. For feed or silage, plant 15 to 20 lbs. 
per acre; for seed production 6 to 8 pounds, 
planting a foot apart in the row. When ripe, 
cut off the heads. Pile loosely under cover. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. 55c¢; 5 lbs. $1.75.

RUSSELL-HECKLE « 
‘early spring or late summer, 
BUCKWHEAT 
It is well adapted and may be sown in very 
maturing in 
about two months. It is easily grown, desir- 
able and profitable for large grain yields, 
flower food for bees, and turned under it is a 
good soil improver. Where weeds are thick, 
buckwheat will smother them and put the 
soil in good condition for the crops that fol- 
low. Buckwheat makes a fine quality of 
flour, the kind that goes into the famous 
decd ea Cakes.’’ It's great for poultry 
eed.

PEANUTS 
HOW TO PLANT PEANUTS. Prepare the 
ground well, laying off in rows 3] feet apart. 
Put 2 kernels to the hill, hills about 1 foot 
apart. Break the hull before planting, 35 to 
40 pounds to the acre. 
TENNESSEE LONG RED. Especially adapted 
to this section. The nuts contain three large 
kernels in each and are very productive. . 
Postpaid, 1 Ib. 65c; 5 lbs. $2.10. 
SPANISH PEANUT. The best variety for for- 
age and fattening crop in the South. Early, 
heavy bearer; bushes growing close, so 
easily cultivated. Grains or nuts are small, 
skins of creamy white color, much sweeter 
and fine flavored and much more free from 
“pops” than the larger sorts. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. 65c; 5 lbs. $2.10.

BASIC SLAG 
The Soil Conditioner 
and Builder 
In either making or improving a pas- 
ture, it is necessary to use a soil builder, 
conditioner or fertilizer to secure the most 
profitable results. Pasture soils deficient 
in the necessary food or minerals produce 
grazing low in the elements that build 
body tissue, beef, and increase the pro- 
duction of milk. 
A pasture may produce an abundance 
of grass and yet the stock will not thrive. 
This is usually because the grass is lack- 
ing in calcium, phosphoric acid and other 
minerals. Agricultural authorities and 
Southern farmers have found that an easy 
way to have a thick, healthy pasture 
grass rich in many minerals is to use 
U. S. S. Tennessee Basic Slag. 
Stock raisers all over the South are 
rapidly realizing the importance of Basic 
Slag for making pastures that produce 
quality beef quickly, increase milk produc- 
tion, and reduce feed bills.
