The Difference between Southern Ger- 
man Millet and Common Millet 
In the North Millet is sown almost altogether for hay, 
and for that purpose Southern Grown German Millet is much 
better than Common Millet. It grows taller than does thatirom 
Northern seed, and that means more hay. Itis finer than 
that from Northern seed and that means better hay. In 
fact, it is our judgment. based on an experience of many 
years, that a farmer w¢ 
profit alone, pay $2.00 a bushel for true Southern Grown Ger- 
man Millet than to sow the best Northern Millet as a gift. 
Millet seed produced in the North or West, even from South- 
ern seed, becomes what we call Common Millet. Notonly 
does the plant change in character, becoming coarser and 
much more dwarf, but the seed itself shows a change and is 
readily distinguished by those experienced in handling it. 
Common Northern and Western Millet is offered and 
sold by many dealers as German Millet. 
SEED HEADS OF TRUE SOUTHERN GROWN GERMAN MILLET. 
German Millet (Southern Grown) 
Southern grown German or Golden Millet Seed is far 
superior, both in quality and yield, to Western or Northern 
grown seed. When properly grown and handled, it makes an 
enormous yield of nutritious feed, succeeding in almost any 
soil. Sow in May or June, one bushel to the acre. Price 
varies with the market. Qt., 10c.; bush., 50 Ibs., about $1.79.

or Pearl Millet, and you will find there is nothing better.

Siberian, or Russian Millet 
A new and productive forage plant from Russia, It is 
extremely hardy, withstands drought and is earlier than 
German Millet. Grows 4 to 5 feet in height, ranker, and

grown from one seed. The leaves start close to the ground 
and continue nearly to the top of the stem, are wide and ten- 
der, Yield of hay is one-third to one half more per acre than 
Hungarian, the hay is softer when cured, greener in color
