HUNTING PRESERVES 
We expect to devote more time 
and space in future catalogues by 
co-operating with Federal and State 
Authorities and owners of hunting 
preserves in the protection of wild 
life; by investigating their feeding 
problems, and supplying their needs. 
CANE SEED FOR SYRUP AND FORAGE 
All Prices on This Page Post Paid. Write for Quantity Prices. 
BUCHANAN’S HONEY DRIP SYRUP CANE 
CULTURE —Plant this cane seed on rich land during April or May in drills (4-foot rows) at the 
rate of 12 to 15 pounds per acre. Cultivate like corn and chop out like cotton, leaving plants about 
10 to 12 inches apart in the row. One seed will stool out and produce 3 to 5 stalks, 10 to 12 feet tall. 
It usually produces 30 to 50 bushels of seed per acre, and 125 to 200 gallons of syrup per acre, of a 
fine flavor and always sells well. Cut for making syrup just before seeds ripen, as the plants have 
more sugar at that time. If you desire to save seed, let the plant mature and cut when fully ripe. 
Seed heads should be cut and cured in the field. This variety produces an abundance of splendid 
fodder. Some syrup makers do not pull the fodder, but run stalk and fodder through a cane crusher 
to save labor. This method causes the syrup to be darker in color than if the fodder is pulled. 
1194—BUCHANAN’S HONEY DRIP SYRUP CANE—It is two weeks later than Amber 
or Orange and makes a larger stalk and fully more than one-third more fodder than 
either; it is especially recommended for silos. It is an all-purpose type sorghum cane 
for syrup, silage, fodder and seed. Orange, Amber and Red Top Sorghum are not 
good for syrup making, and it is our experience that Texas Seeded Ribbon Cane cannot 
always be depended on for purity. It is somewhat similar to the Seeded Ribbon Cane, 
but can be depended upon and is a vastly better cane for all its purposes all the way 
through. It is a valuable crop for feed, seed and syrup. Five pounds is enough to plant 
one-third of an acre, a plenty to give every planter seed to try it out for himself and 
to get a good start.

1185—GERMAN OR GOLDEN MILLET—It matures in from 6 to 8 weeks after seeding. 
Cut while in bloom, before the seed hardens in the head, as after that the hay quality 
decreases. There are two necessities for a successful crop of Golden Millet—first, rich 
or highly manured soil; second, Southern-grown seed, that from Tennessee being best. 
1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.25; 15 lbs., $1.65 
1187— 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 corn fodder and is relished by stock. Sow in May, June or July, 20 pounds 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. This millet is used in great quantities by Southern 
Hunting Clubs for wild duck feed. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 90c; 10 lbs., $1.65; 15 lbs., $2.00 
1188— PEARL OR CAT-TAIL MILLET (Also called Pencillaria)—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 
cuttings 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 thoroughly warm, otherwise the seeds will not germinate. Plant 5 
pounds to the acre, in drills 3 feet apart. 
1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 95c; 10 lbs., $1.75; 15 lbs., $2.25 
Wild game is disappearing rapidly. Your State and Federal Governments ask you to help save it by feeding and protecting it. Join the Wild Life 
Conservation Program: Observe the game and fish laws; make constant war on the hawk and all predators, thereby increasing your sport. 
BUCHANAN’S GAME BIRD SEEDS 
For Hunting Preserves 
Attract game birds to your farm by shelter feeding them during 
the winter with Buchanan’s Game Bird Scatter Food, and by 
growing crops on which they like to feed. 
1201—BUCHANAN’S GAME BIRD SCATTER FOOD—Our for¬ 
mula was prepared by a high authority on game bird feeding. 
It is composed 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. Write 
for prices. 
GAME BIRD SEEDS FOR PLANTING — The Federal Game 
and Inland Fisheries Commission recommends the planting of 
the following crops for game bird feeding: Korean lespedeza, 
buckwheat, brabham, groit and black-eye peas, shallu Japan 
clover, hairy vetch, German millet, laredo soy beans, kaffir corn, 
benne, wheat and rye. 
1202—BENNE SEED—The Sesamus Orientale, or Oil-Plant of 
the West Indies, from the seeds of which an oil is extracted, 
called Benne Oil, used in medicine as a laxative. Game birds of 
all kinds love it, and it is very fattening. It is especially adapted 
for growing throughout the Cotton Belt.
