Korean Lespedeza 
KOREAN LESPEDEZA 
Earliest, Hardiest, Most Popular Lespedeza, Widest Adapted from Moun- 
tains to Coast in the Upper South. Greatly improves soils. Turning under 
lespedeza increases corn yields. Thrives on soils where alfalfa and clovers 
fail. Nearly equal to alfalfa in food value, holds its leaves well and pro- 
duces a full crop the first year. 
It makes good pasture with Orchard Grass, tall fescue, timothy and 
red top, which grow well in spring and fall, but not in summer when 
lespedeza is best. Seed it on every acre of small grain this spring. After it 
reseeds each fall many farmers turn it under and plant small grain on the 
same land each year. 
KOBE, Best Yielding Annual Lespedeza. 
Tallest, largest, spreads and yields more pasture and hay than Korean. It 
is 3 weeks later, extending the grazing season. Adapted to the Cotton 
Belt and Deep South. A profitable seed crop. 
ANNUAL LESPEDEZAS, Korean and Kobe. 
Return every summer if allowed to reseed in early fall. Plant on soils too 
poor, acid, wet or dry for alfalfa, Ladino and Red clover. Add valuable 
summer grazing to permanent pasture mixtures for years if animals are 
removed while reseeding. They are killed by frost and furnish poor winter 
cover or feed. If seeded alone. add winter crops like Crimson Clover. 
SOW 25 Ibs. per acre alone, 10 to 20 Ibs. in mixtures in Feb. or early 
March on small grains or Feb. to June sown alone. Harrow grain lightly if 
land is crusted. Don’t cover over 4 inch. Do not cover if sown early, in 
late freezes or on grain crops. Wood’s Inoculation 3 only costs 55c not 
postpaid for 100 Ibs., but is expensive if not used. Also treat seed with 
Arasan, page 58. Fertilize 0-14-14. Lime helps but is not required. Kill dod- 
der with Weedone, page 58, without killing lespedeza. 
USE CARE IN BUYING LESPEDEZA SEED. We offer only top quality, 
double cleaned seed of high purity and germination. Lespedeza high in 
dodder and other noxious weeds can be bought much cheaper. 
LESPEDEZA SERICEA, Perennial. For hay, Pasture or birds. 
Big crop of hay or pasture on any soil. Excellent for erosion control or 
soil improvement. Adapted throughout the South. Thrives on poor soils; 
comes back year after year from its roots, yields more, 2 to 3 cuttings 
or 2 to 4 tons of high quality hay annually. Its deep vigorous roots keep 
it rich green in the most severe droughts. At its best in July and August. 
Don‘t graze the first year. Only mow weeds to give it sunshine and 
moisture. Start grazing when 4 inches tall. Cut when 12 inches high for 
tender hay, easy to cure. Gets woody if left uncut too long. Don’t cut 
after Aug. 15. Let it store food for winter. For seed cut and rake before 
10:30 a.m. to prevent shattering; house the same afternoon. 
Sow 30 to 35 Ibs. unhulled seed in Jan. or Feb. or 20 Ibs. scarified 
March to June. Cover very lightly. Leave off nitrogen and manure or crab 
grass and weeds will take it the first year. For hay the first year sow 20 
Ibs. Korean or Kobe with 15 to 20 lbs. scarified Sericea in March or April. 
Next year the Sericea will predominate and spread. It grows without fer- 
tilizer, but feed is poor unless phosphate and potash are applied every 
CROTALARIA 
Good summer green manure crop, twice as much leafy growth and root 
nodules as cow peas, 15 to 20 tons per acre. When turned under the nitro- 
gen is worth $40.00 per acre, the humus prevents erosion, holds water in 
sandy soil and opens up heavy soil. Yields of following crops are doubled. 
Not eaten by livestock or insect pests. Starves nematodes out of the soil. 
Smothers out summer weeds; thrives on any soil; requires no lime or 
fertilizer. Early cultivation pays. From corn planting time to July 15, broad- 
cast 20 Ibs. scarified seed per acre or 8 lbs. in 3-ft. rows. Cover 1/2 
inches and roll. Use Arasan and Inoculant 5. 
LATE CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS 
7 ft. tall. Yields green manure, equal to 800 Ibs. nitrate of soda per acre. ’ 
Stalks pithy, easily plowed under, decay readily. Thrives on all soils. 
GIANT STRIATA CROTALARIA 
Grows rapidly. When turned under the green manure and nitrogen gath- 
ered by its roots increase yields of corn and other crops enormously. 
Korean Lespedeza, a superior summer, pasture, hay and soil builder, grows 
vigorously on land too poor, acid, wet or dry for other legumes. Fills 
poor soils with fibrous roots, ideal to control erosion. 
COTTON SEED 
Wood’s Seed Cotton grown at the top of the Cotton Belt, matures earlier, 
beating the boll weevil, making bumper crops of top quality lint. It is 
picked early when dry to prevent spoiling and insure good germination. 
Ceresan treated to protect seedlings from disease and cold damp weather, 
25% better stands, more vigorous, quicker growth, earlier maturity, 
higher yields. 
Delinted Seed hastens germination and growth, in dry weather. Me- 
chanically delinted requires 20 to 25 lbs. per acre; Acid delinted 10 lbs. 
per acre; ordinary seed takes 35 Ibs. per acre. 
D. & P. L. FOX 
Higher yield. Fast fruiting. 10 days earlier. More can be harvested at the 
first picking. Can start picking before the price of cotton picking advances 
and finish before bad weather, getting better grade and price. Bolls are 
rounder and easier picked by hand or machine. Fiber is thicker. Yarn ap- 
pearance is superior. High spinning qualities. Better for mechanical pick- 
ing as it does not grow rank. When its small, strong, compact, well 
jointed stalks are heavily loaded with bolls it stands upright. Defoliates 
naturally and makes little second growth. It is easier to clear trash out 
of its thicker, better matured fiber, with less waste. Fox fruits low, so 
plant it thick, forcing it to fruit higher. 
DELTAPINE 15, 
Medium early, high yield. Best for non-wilt soils. Good fiber, spinning 
quality and yarn appearance. 1-1/16 inch staple. Medium large bolls. Cot- 
ton fluffs out well. Storm resistant yet easily picked by hand or machine. 
Distinguished by its productivness, high gin turnout (41%), excellent staple 
and ability to produce a crop under adverse soil and weather conditions. 
Developed by 35 years breeding by one of the world’s foremost breeders 
on the D&PL farms, which grows over 10,000 acres of cotton, averaging 
704 lbs. of lint per acre. Persists longer, has higher turnout and usually 
slightly longer staple and stronger yarn. It is the easiest and fastest cot- 
ton to gin, requiring less power. 
COKER 100 WILT, Blue Tag Certified 
Delinted. Grown from Breeder Foundation seed. Best cotton for wilt in- 
fested soils. Widely adapted. 1-1/16 inch staple. Extra early. High yield. 
Easily picked by hand or machine. Superior spinning. Va., N. C., S. C., 
and Ga. recommend it. The most popular cotton in the Southeast. 
The result of 20 years testing on wilt-infested soil of thousands of 
plants, selecting for wilt-resistance, yield, staple, picking quality, storm 
resistance, fiber strength and spinning quality. It has erect plants, well- 
spaced branches, and thin foliage. Leaves shed as cotton matures. Bolls 
are round, slightly pointed, 68 per Ib. Bolls ripen uniformly, open ex- 
tremely wide, fluff beautifully, yet storm resistant. Maintains a high grade 
during adverse seasons. Gins out 37%. It has won most of the recent 
state and local cotton contests.
