PA9rl ni* Cattail Millet known and most valualde of all 
reari or iniliei g^een forage plants in the South. For 
/U|> C|Q\ tile past nine or ton years sensational seedsmen have sold this 
^liwi .j ,ig\y plant under the name of •'I'eneillaria” and ‘‘Mand's 
Wonder Forage Plant.” Penclllaria or Cattail ilillet needs no introduction 
to any of the older residents of the South. Its great value is well known. 
Greatest and best yielder of green forage and continues to grow and produce 
through the entire season if cut frequenlly enough to prevent its going lo 
seed. Our illustration on this page shows the heavy growth of Pearl Millet. 
In actual field tests made some years ago on heavily manured ground it made 
green forage at the rate of !I5 tons per acre in i;i5 days. Ko otlier forage 
plant has ever come up to that record. A tropical plant making an enormous 
growth all through our long Southern summer. Kellshed by all kinds of 
stock and they eat it greedily. No plant will go further toward solving the 
forage problem in the South than Pearl Millet. It ought to be grown on your 
farm. Sow thinly in rows 3 feet apart at the rate of 8 to 10 pounds per acre. 
Pound, 45 cents; postitaid. In 10-pound lots, not prepaid, about 30 cents per 
pound. Write for larger quantity prices when ready to buy. 
Our Tennessee Grown Golden Millet (No. 618) 
(Formerly German Millet)—We have said considerable in the past about the 
importance of Southern grown seed being necessary for a successful crop of 
Golden Millet in the South. We give below a reproduction from a photo¬ 
graph of a crop from our Tennessee seed. Is it not worth 2jc or so more per 
bushel to sow seed that will make a crop like this? Golden Millet is an im¬ 
portant and nutritious hay crop, largely grown throughout the South, rel¬ 
ished by horses and cattle. Seed thickly, not less than one bushel per acre, 
any time from the middle of May through July, but not too early, because it 
does not grow off nicely until the soil and weather get warm. It matures in 
from six to eight weeks after seeding. Cut while in bloom, before the seed 
hardens in the head, as after that the hay quality decre;ises. There are two 
necessities for a successful crop of Golden JIUlet—first, rich or highly manured 
ground; second. Southern grown seed, that from Tennessee being the best. 
Pound, postpaid, 30 cents. 10-pound lots or over, about 10 cents per pound.

cut when it comes into bloom, following which a second growth springs up 
which produces seed, thus seeding the ground for the next year. Best sown 
at the beginning of the summer rainy season. Clean seed, hull removed.

RAnA^Nn annual herb, about 3 feet high, producing flowers 
vac f followed by seed pods which shatter the oily seeds in 
great profusion. These seeds are relished by poultry but its greatest use at 
present is a crop to attract and feed wild birds, especially quail and par¬ 
tridges. The oil from the seed is sweet, and, like olive oil, is used on salads 
and for other culinary purposes. The parched seeds are used in confection¬ 
ery. Drill seed in rows 3 feet apart, as soon as frost danger is past, at rate 
of 5 pounds per acre. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; % pound, 25 cents;

do so this year and see for yourself that it will make 20 to

Mammnth Rlltt«ian Every farm in the South 
iTidmmOin nusslan ought to grow Sunflowers 
for the seed. No farm where 
poultry is raised can afford 
to be without them. The yield on fairly good land is im¬ 
mense, 125 bushels per acre being nothing unusual, and as a 
poultry feed to give rapid growth and fine glossy plumage, 
there is nothing that equals it. As an egg-producing food, 
nothing can be better. When we siiy that a sunflower crop is 
profital)le, we mean the Mammoth Russian, which produces 
three to four times as much seed as the common varieties. 
Packet, 10 cents; pound, 35 cents; postpaid. Ten pounds or 
over, not prepaid, 20 cents per pound. 
TAneinfA^Nn Mammoth forage plant: un- 
■ ^ iiwi vCLj doubtedly one of the most val¬ 
uable for the South to be used in a green state. The yield is 
simply enormous and can be cut all through the summer and 
until frost. We were assured by the late C. A. Bacon, of Or¬ 
mond, Florida, several years ago, that this remarkable plant 
grew at the rate of 5 inches per day on his place. Ounce, 10 
cents; % pound, 30 cents; pound, .$1.00; postpaid._

CUT OUT FARM FEED BUYING 
A farmer who buys instead of grows the grain, feed 
and forage needed for his working or other live stock 
can never be permanently prosperous. These things must 
he prduced on home acres else the so-called “cash” crops 
become in reality “debt” crops. Permanent farm pros¬ 
perity depends on home production of these feed and 
forage crops. Grow them and cut out farm feed buying 
forever.
