884 Macrocarpa. 4 creat 
summer growing fertilizer crop. 
Loosens and emulsifies the soil, Citrus growers in 
the Imperial and Rio Grande Valley have found it 
superior to all other fertilizer crops, making more 
tonnage, quicker growth and shading the young 
trees during hot weather. Florida citrus growers 
are commencing to plant it liberally. Trucker 
hae are planting it in a bigger way. It requires 
m 8 to 10 weeks from time of germination to 
time of BOWING 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 
yery 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 lbs. 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. 
Plant only scarified seed that germinates car
