Book excerpt: "The velvet bean is the most vigorous-growing annual legume cultivated in the United States. With the introduction and discovery of early-maturing varieties the area planted to velvet beans in the United States increased from less than 1,000,000 acres in 1915 to more than 5,000,000 acres in 1917. One or more varieties of velvet beans can be grown successfully in nearly all parts of the cotton belt. The Georgia and Alabama varieties constituted at least 80 per cent of the acreage in 1917. As velvet beans are very susceptible to cool weather, they should not be planted until the soil has become warm. The crop is especially adapted to the well-drained portions of the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain areas, and it is in these sections that the greatest acreage is to be found. Velvet beans will make a fair to good growth on the heavy clay soils in the northern portion of the cotton belt provided these soils are fairly fertile. Velvet beans are usually planted with corn. They may be planted in the same row as the corn or in separate rows. Two rows of corn to one of beans is the most popular method of planting. The yield of corn may be decreased slightly by the beans, but the value of the beans for green-manure and feeding purposes will be much greater than the loss to the corn crop. The most important use of the velvet bean is as a grazing crop for cattle and hogs in autumn and winter. The velvet bean is the best annual-legume crop grown in the South for soil improvement. On account of the extensive, tangled growth of vines it is necessary to pick velvet beans by hand. From 25 to 50 cents per hundred pounds is usually paid for picking the beans. The usual yield of velvet beans in the pods is from one-half to 1 ton per acre. Velvet beans make an excellent feed for cattle and hogs. Feeding experiments show that 2 to 2 1/2 pounds of velvet beans in the pod are equal to 1 pound of high-grade cottonseed meal." -- p. 2

Book excerpt: The most comprehensive guide to the botany, history, distribution, and cultivation of all known psychoactive plants • Examines 414 psychoactive plants and related substances • Explores how using psychoactive plants in a culturally sanctioned context can produce important insights into the nature of reality • Contains 797 color photographs and 645 black-and-white illustrations In the traditions of every culture, plants have been highly valued for their nourishing, healing, and transformative properties. The most powerful plants--those known to transport the human mind into other dimensions of consciousness--have traditionally been regarded as sacred. In The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants Christian Rätsch details the botany, history, distribution, cultivation, and preparation and dosage of more than 400 psychoactive plants. He discusses their ritual and medicinal usage, cultural artifacts made from these plants, and works of art that either represent or have been inspired by them. The author begins with 168 of the most well-known psychoactives--such as cannabis, datura, and papaver--then presents 133 lesser known substances as well as additional plants known as “legal highs,” plants known only from mythological contexts and literature, and plant products that include substances such as ayahuasca, incense, and soma. The text is lavishly illustrated with 797 color photographs--many of which are from the author’s extensive fieldwork around the world--showing the people, ceremonies, and art related to the ritual use of the world’s sacred psychoactives.

Download or read book Mucuna versus Parkinson treatment with natural levodopa written by Rafael González Maldonado and published by Rafael González Maldonado. This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Mucuna pruriens” is a bean that grows in the tropics. It is very rich in natural levodopa that is better tolerated and more potent than the synthetic levodopa in Sinemet or Stalevo. Two prestigious neurologists have patented extracts of mucuna seeds as a treatment for Parkinson's. Meanwhile, patients have recorded their positive experiences with mucuna; they buy it online (no prescription needed) and use it in secrecy without consulting their neurologist. Neither the patients nor the doctors (most of them) have clear ideas about this plant, its ingredients (not only levodopa), the proportions in which it is absorbed, or how to manage it. "Mucuna versus Parkinson: Natural Levodopa Treatment" is so far the most complete and up-to-date monograph on the subject, it describes the theoretical and practical approaches to the use of this plant as a treatment option for Parkinson's disease. Also included are more than one hundred of references.

Download or read book Red Velvet Underground written by Freda Love Smith and published by Agate Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-21 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Not only a rock memoir and recipe book but also a poignant work of personal self-discovery and the challenges yet joys of parenting.” —Huffington Post Part memoir, part cookbook, and all rock and roll, Red Velvet Underground tells the story of how musician Freda Love Smith’s indie-rock past grew into her family—and food-centric present. Smith, born in Nashville and raised in Indiana, is best known as the drummer and co-founder of bands such as the Boston-based Blake Babies, Antenna, and the Mysteries of Life. Red Velvet Underground is loosely framed around cooking lessons Smith gave to her eldest son, Jonah, before he left for college. Smith compares her son’s experiences to her own—meeting Juliana Hatfield and starting the Blake Babies, touring in Evan Dando’s hand-me-down station wagon, and crashing with Henry Rollins, who introduced the band to local California fare—all while plumbing the deeper meanings behind the role of food, cooking, and family. Interspersed throughout these stories are forty-five flexitarian recipes—mostly, but not exclusively, vegetarian—such as red pepper-cashew spread, spinach and brazil nut pesto, and vegan strawberry-cream scones. Throughout the book, Smith reveals how food, in addition to music, has evolved into an important means for creativity and improvisation. Red Velvet Underground is an engaging exploration of the ways food and music have informed identity through every stage of one woman’s life. “These are sweet, unsentimental scenes from the ever-evolving life of a woman of many shifting and balancing roles: mother, wife, drummer, student, teacher, friend, daughter, food enthusiast. It’s all tied together with tantalizing recipes that have been lovingly improvised and tweaked into a life-affirming doneness.” —Juliana Hatfield, musician
