This can be planted in the spring with oats or barley as a nurse crop. It can also be sown in June or July without a nurse crop or in corn at the last cultivation. Other plants suitable for food strips include cowpeas, millet, sorghum, and laredo soy beans. Cowpeas may be sown broadcast at the rate of one and one-quarter to two bushels per acre or planted in rows one-half to one-quarter bushels in May or June. Millet is planted broadcast at the rate of twenty to thirty-five pounds per acre in June. Sorghum is planted in rows at the rate of eight to ten pounds per acre or broadcast in June using about one peck per acre. Soy beans are broadcast at the rate of three pecks per acre from the middle of May to the first of July. In mixture, of course, the amount per acre of each of the four plants should be only one-quarter of that given for planting per acre. The patches planted to the above can also include buckwheat broadcast at the rate of one-quarter to one and one-quarter bushels per acre from May to August 13th; corn planted in rows at the rate of one to one and one-half gallons per acre from May 1 to May 31st; Kaffir corn planted in rows, six to ten pounds, or broadcast one peck per acre in June; and Sudan grass broadcast twenty to thirty-five pounds per acre.
