82 FORAGE CROPS 
Hungarian millet grows very quickly and is 
very useful for supple- 
menting a shortage in 
the regular hay crop, or 
for supplying the dairy 
herd with green forage, 
although not so desirable as 
the Barnyard millet. The Ger- “Sg 
man and Golden millets usually “eit 
make a larger yield than the Hun- “get 
garian, require a little longer time AF 
for growth, and should not be seeded “4¥S¥4 
later than the first of July. 
In all these varieties, the quantity 
of seed to sow is about one bushel per Sei; 
acre. The practices recommended for We 
Barnyard millet in preparation of soil, 3 
use of fertilizers and manures, and x 
time of harvesting, should be adopted. 
All varieties of millet are surface 
feeders; large crops will absorb all 
of the available plant-food, leaving 
the land in poor condition for 
crops following the same season. 
The time of cutting is espe- 
cially important, as too z's a 
complete maturity re- rea tee a poe , 
sults in poor and un- Faia hae, 
palatable hay.
