Plant the Best Field Seeds for Better Crops 
NICHOLSON'S "PURITY 
BRAND" FANCY DOUBLE 
DWARF YELLOW MILO 
This variety retains all the good qualities 
of its parent, the Dwarf Yellow Milo, and 
does not grow quite as tall. Has immense 
heads, and the seeds are large. It is quick 
to mature, and may be planted late in the 
season as a “catch-crop”, and have plenty of 
time to make before frost. When planted 
in the early spring it will mature a crop 
early, and after the heads are cut the stalk 
will branch out and produce additional cut¬ 
tings of heads. The compact stalk makes 
harvesting much easier. Extra fancy seed, 
large and bright. Lb., 20c; 2 lbs., 35c, post¬ 
paid. Not prepaid, lb., 10c; 20 lbs., $1.25. 
Ask for prices on larger quantities.

KAFIR 
It grows from 4 to 6 feet high, making

green and are brittle, making an excellent 
fodder, either green or dried, for cattle and 
horses. The heads make the finest kind of 
feed. Sow in rows three feet apart, 5 to 
10 pounds per acre. For fodder, sow one 
bushel per acre broadcast. Lb., 20c; 2 lbs.,

Fine for forage and ensilage, as it is 
quite sweet, and grows an abundance of 
broad, long leaves. It is a wonderful grain 
to stool out, not unusual for one seed to 
send up 6 to 10 stalks, each making a fine 
head of large, light brown grains, which 
make excellent stock and poultry feed. Drill 
at the rate of 3 to 5 pounds per acre. Lb., 
20c; 2 lbs., 35c, postpaid. Not prepaid, lb.,

A Field of Sesbania 
SESBANIA 
A most vigorous growing annual legume, it thrives in warm weather and 
will grow on alkali and other poor soils, where practically no other plants 
do well. It makes a tall, slender stalk, growing as high as eight feet, the 
limbs spreading from three to five feet. The seed should be sown broadcast 
at the rate of about 30 pounds to the acre at bean planting time, or when 
the ground is sufficiently warm. It requires the same planting and grow¬ 
ing weather as cow peas. Sesbania, in its rapid growth, frequently grows 
as much as a foot per week, requiring only eight weeks from the time of 
germination to time of plowing under; this should be done when the seed 
is in the dough. Broadcast the seed similar to wheat and we recommend 
inoculating the seed with NITRAGIN before sowing. 
Sesbania has no use at present other than its fertilizer value; it will 
thrive in wet soil; its large root system is always covered with nodules and 
it not only fertilizes, but the large roots also help break up the soil. It is 
an annual, so there is no danger of it becoming a pest or even spreading 
when the seed is not allowed to mature. 
Think of a plant yielding fourteen tons of green manure per acre to 
turn under—this equals 400 pounds of commercial fertilizer.
