COMMON OR BROOM CORN MILLET (Panicum miliaceum.} (Grown 

 for Hay and Soiling. ) 



The heads of common millet are large, open and nodding, resembling 

 broom-corn in general appearance. This grass is used for the same pur- 

 poses, and cultivated in the same manner and upon like soils, as Italian 

 millet and Hungarian grass. It will yield from sixty to seventy bushels 

 of seed per acre. Cut after the seed is ripe it is valueless -as food for any 

 kind of stock.
