A Splendid Quick Growing Summer Hay Crop 
1125. German or Golden Millet, Southern Grown. Makes a 
large yielding and most nutritious hay crop, quick growing and easily 
cured. It should be seeded thickly, one bushel per acre, and should be 
harvested while in bloom. If the seeds are allowed to form the stalks 
get hard and it does not make so good a hay. Should be sown at any 
time between the middie of May until the end of June at the rate of 
1 bushel per acre. Millet should never be sown until the earth is warm 
in the Spring and when continued warm weather is assured. It is also 
used as a catch crop after early grain or a crop which fails. It matures a 
crop in 6 to 8 weeks after seeding. Cow Peas sown with German Millet makes fine hay. Sown in this 
way, it should be sown with some quick maturing variety of Cow Peas and should be sown at the 
rate of three pecks of Millet and one bushel of Cow Peas to the acre. “Gold” Brand Fancy 
Southern Millet. Write for prices. ; 
1126. Hungarian Millet. Often called Hungarian Grass. Many regard this as being better 
even than German Millet, as it is about one week earlier and requires less moisture. The hay is 
fine and of excellent feeding value. 
It is especially valuable on account of requiring such a short season to make a fine crop of most 
excellent hay. For this reason it is much used as a catch crop. It can be sown as late as the 4th of 
July with good results, in ordinary seasons. It is much used for following such crops as early 
potatoes and barley for a crop of hay, thus giving two crops on the same land in one year. Also 
grown as a green manuring crop to turn under, adding humus or fertility for future crops. 
Hungarian Millet does not grow so coarse as some other varieties, but still yields quite heavily, from 
two to four tons of hay to the acre being an ordinary crop. Hay is quite leafy, of very fine quality. 
Should be sown at any time between the middle of May until the end of June at the rate of one 
bushel per acre. ‘“‘ Gold’’ Brand. Write for prices.

Velvet Beans The Cheapest and Best Soil Improver ‘Gold ’ Brand Southern Grown German Millet 
Velvet Beans make an enormous growth of vine; greater, in fact, than any other known forage 
plant, in the same length of time, far surpasses the Cow Pea in yield. Velvet Beans are usually 
planted in rows 4 or 5 feet apart at the rate of half bushel per acre. The Velvet Bean being of such luxuriant growth, adds very large amount of nitrogen 
to the soil and when the entire crop of vines is turned under shows that the plant food added by the crop amounts to as much as that contained in 2,200 
pounds of Cotton Seed Meal or 1,100 pounds of Dried Blood Velvet Beans can be pastured throughout the Winter; both vines and beans remain palatable 
throughout the season from about the first frost. Please write for lowest market prices.
