Excerpt from The Southern Planter, Vol. 69: A Monthly Journal Devoted to Practical and Progressive Agriculture, Horticulture, Trucking, Live Stock and the Fireside; March, 1908 Do not. Sow Canada peas and oats for a forage crop later than the middle of this month in middle or Eastern Virginia. The hot weather will come too soon to permit of the crop making a success. In the Western and North ern part of the State the crop may be seeded up to the end of the month. Dwarf Essex rape should be seeded this month for a grazing crop for sheep and hogs. This is a quick growing crop and, with a favorable season, will be ready to graze in six weeks or two months from time of seeding. The land should be finely prepared, as the seed is very small and should be rolled after sowing, if dry enough to roll without packing on the roller: Sow about three or four pounds of seed per acre broadcast. The feeding value of this crop for sheep, lambs and hogs is great and, with some corn fed with it, quick and profitable returns are made. If wanted to be grazed very quickly, it is better sown in drills two feet six inches apart and cultivated two or three times.
