TENNESSEE GERMAN MILLET 
Big: Headed, Large Yielding - Type 
German Millet makes a. quickly grown, easily cured and large 
yielding, nutritious hay crop. It comes so quickly that it can be 
sown after wheat is cut, and leaves the land clean and in fine me¬ 
chanical condition for the following crop. Millet should be cut 
when coming into flower, as after that stage the woody fibre forms 
in the stem and the hay is hard and unpalatable. Cut at the proper 
time, it makes a splendid hay. As a summer catch-crop, it has few 
equals, for it makes its crop in about sixty days, discing and har¬ 
rowing wheat or oat land being the only preparation necessary. 
Growing millet with an early variety of cowpeas like Whippoor¬ 
will or New Fra is quite popular, three pecks of millet being sown 
with a bushel of cowpeas. The crop should be cut when the millet 
is coming into bloom, regardless of the maturity of the cowpeas, 
for at this stage the feeding value of the millet hay is highest. 
Grown together, the yield is larger than when either is grown alone. 
To have the finest millet hay, sow thickly, not less than a bushel 
to the acre, from the middle of May till the end of July. Thin seed¬ 
ing makes coarse stems and a poorer hay. 
Warning. —Do not sow common or Western millet. It is not 
adapted, makes a small growth and is generally disappointing.

JAPANESE, or BARNYARD MILLET 
Called Billion Dollar Grass 
Distinct from other millets; grows 4 to 6 feet high yielding an 
enormous crop that in quality is equal to cornfodder and is 
relished by stock. Sow in May, June or July 20 lbs. to the acre 
broadcast; or plant in 15-inch drills and cultivate until it is 18 
inches high. When green, feed a moderate quantity at first, 
gradually increasing the quantity 
as the animals become accustomed 
to it. By mail postpaid, lb. 20c; 5 lbs.

PEARL, or 
CAT-TAIL MILLET 
Also called Fencillaria. 
If allowed to attain its full height 
Pearl Millet will grow 10 to 12 feet 
high, but for the greatest amount 
of green feed it should be cut when 
3 to 4 feet high. It will then stool 
out enormously, and during warm 
weather will grow with wonderful 
luxuriance, give three or four cut¬ 
tings a season, and keep on growing 
right up to frost. It does well even 
on poor land, and surprisingly well 
in dry seasons. All kinds of stock 
eat it greedily and flourish on it; it 
is highly nutritious. It is a warm 
weather plant, and should not be 
planted till the ground is thorough¬ 
ly warm otherwise the seeds will 
not germinate. Plant 5 lbs. to the 
acre in drills 3 feet apart. By mail

GAME BIRD SEED 
For Hunting Preserves. 
Attract game birds to your farm by shel¬ 
ter feeding them during the winter with 
Wood’s Game Bird Scatter Food, and by 
growing crops on which they like to feed. 
TEOSINTE 
A single seed producing from thirty to sixty stalks, each 10 to 12 
feet high, gives some idea of what an enormous yield may be had 
from Teosinte. If cut when 4 or 5 feet high, it makes an excellent 
fodder, starts immediately into growth again, and will give several 
more cuttings as large as the first; we have known it to yield five 
cuttings a season. If sufficient is planted, a continuous supply of 
nutritious green feed can be had daily right up to frost. The leaves 
are longer and broader than corn, contain 8 to 10 per cent of sugar, 
and are greedily eaten by all kinds of stock. It makes splendid 
ensilage. Plant in May or June in drills 3% to 4 feet apart; 2 to 3 
pounds plants an acre. By mail postpaid, oz. 10c; lb. 20c; lb. 60c; 
5 lbs.. $2.60; 10 lbs. $4.85. 
Not postpaid, lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $2.35; 10 lbs. $4.50. 
BROOM CORN 
Any land that will grow corn is adapted to broom corn. When 
the ground is thoroughly warm plant in 3% foot rows, thinning 
out to 8 to 10 inches in the row, and cultivate like corn. Cut when 
the seeds are at the dough stage. Six lbs. plants an acre. 
Ct J l r> —1° to 12 feet tall and yields a brush 
otandard Lvergreen With long, straight fiber without heavy 
center stems and free from crooked brush. By mail postpaid, 
lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.00; 10 lbs. $1.85; 25 lbs. $4.05; 50 lbs. $8.00.

pared by a high authority on game bird feeding. It is com¬ 
posed of cracked grains and the seeds on which they love to 
feed. Scatter near the edge of woods or brush. This mixture is 
held in high favor, especially by game preserve owners who are 
using it in increasingly large quantities. $2.75 per 100-lb. bag. 
GAME BIRD SEEDS FOR PLANTING. —The Virginia Game and 
Inland Fisheries Commission recommend the planting of the 
following crops for game bird feeding next winter: korean les-

japan clover, hairy vetch, german millet, laredo soy beans, kaffir
