It should not be sown before corn-planting time and it is-really best to wait until at least two weeks later. Makes best balanced ration when grown in combination with other crops, such as sorghum, Sudan grass, Johnson grass and millet. As a summer annual it is brought into competition with velvet beans and soybeans. Its advantage is that Jt succeeds better under varying conditions. It is excellent as a soil improver because it extracts nitrogen from the air and stores it in its roots. The quantity of seed to be sown per acre varies according to the size of the seed. With rows 24-40 inches apart, 30-45 pounds of seed will be required; when sown broadcast, from 75 to 120 pounds of seed. (Farmers' Bulletin 1148).
