German or Golden Millet. 
MILLET AND SORGHUM CANE 
Although many farmers are now growing 
Millet regularly as a hay crop, it was not until 
the last few years that its value was fully ap¬ 
preciated as a quick-developing crop. Many 
find it of great value in' case of crop failure of 
Clover and Timothy, when dry, spring weather 
cuts short the pasture and meadow grasses, or 
when there is a cold, wet spring and corn and 
other early sown crops are drowned out—it is 
then that Millet is fully appreciated. 
Millets may be planted up to July 1 and even 
later, and still produce a crop of hay or pas¬ 
ture. Millet hay properly handled has great 
feeding value and milk-producing qualities. 
For hay it should be cut as soon as it blooms, 
before the seed forms, otherwise the hay is apt 
to be woody. In more southern sections Millet 
is sown as a catch crop after the grain has been 
harvested. It produces the best results in 
warm, rich soil. 
Sow broadcast, using about 40 lbs. per acre, 
covering seed three-quarters of an inch deep. 
For a seed crop, allow the Millet to ripen fully 
and harvest with a grain binder. 
JAPANESE MILLET—Billion Dollar Grass 
Japanese Millet is one of the best forage crops we have, for feeding all 
kinds of livestock. It ranks high in milk-producing qualities, being rich in 
protein and fats. Combined with soy beans, as ensilage, it makes an ideal 
balanced ration, two parts of millet to one of soy beans being the right 
proportion. 
Japanese Millet is adapted to all sections of the country; it makes more 
hay than any other millet, and requires less seed. It is the ideal catch crop, 
and may be sown any time from May to July. 
For hay, cut it just before it blossoms, and cure the same as clover. It 
also makes good pasture, but the cattle must be accustomed to it gradually. 
FIVE REASONS FOR GROWING JAPANESE MILLET: 
1— It grows 4 to 8 ft. high and produces 5 to 6 tons of hay per acre. 
2— It is drought-resistant, yet can be grown on wet or poor soil not fit for 
other millets. 
3— It is good for exterminating quack grass as it stools heavy. 
4— It is cheap to sow, only 15 to 20 lbs. of seed per acre being required. 
5— It is very palatable and is liked by all classes of livestock. 
DO NOT PLANT MILLETS UNTIL THE SOIL IS WARM AND DANGER OF 
FREEZING IS OVER. 
FOXTAIL MILLETS 
GERMAN OR GOLDEN -This is one of 
the best varieties for hay and fodder. It makes 
rapid, vigorous growth, often yielding 3 to 5 
tons of hay per acre, on good rich soil. It 
grows 4 to 5 feet high, is of rather coarse ap¬ 
pearance, and should be cut for hay before it 
is in full bloom. At this stage, the hay is of 
the best quality, and so tender it can be fed 
to hogs. 
HUNGARIAN— The great value of this va¬ 
riety is in its earliness and fine quality. It is 
about a week earlier than German or Golden 
Millet, and much safer for northern sections, 
especially if sown late in the season. It does 
not grow as vigorously, but the hay is of finer 
quality, especially good for cattle, as it is 
nourishing and milk producing. We consider 
Hungarian Millet one of the best catch crops 
grown. 
SIBERIAN- We consider this the best Millet 
for dry sections. It is extremely hardy, drought 
resistant, and about two weeks earlier than 
Golden Millet. It stools heavily, is very leafy, 
and yields enormous quantities of fine quality 
hay. It produces 50 to 70 bushels of seed 
per acre. 
COMMON— —Especially adapted for dry and 
light soil. It is very early and dwarf, growing 
3 to 4 feet high, is hardier than Golden Millet, 
therefore better for cold northern sections and 
unfavorable conditions, but does not yield as 
heavily as Golden Millet. 
PROSO MILLETS 
(Also Called Hersche) 
TURGHAI PROSO -Turghai Millet grows 
three feet tall and has a purple spreading head. 
The stems bear a wide leaf similar to corn and 
are not woody. This variety introduced in 1930 
has been found to be especially adapted to the 
Northwest as it will withstand considerable 
drought. It is a red seeded variety, very much 
in appearance like the early Fortune seed. Gov¬ 
ernment reports show that Turghai has yielded 
from 50 to 70 bus. on heavy soil and three tons 
of hay per acre. The State Experiment Station 
in preliminary tests of this variety, finds it out- 
yielding other Proso Millets by a considerable 
margin. 
Turghai Proso Millet contains 17% protein 
and is one of the richest feeds for hogs, cattle, 
sheep and poultry. 
EARLY FORTUNE -This seed is of a shiny 
reddish brown and is about the same size as 
Turghai and Hog Millet. The heads are com¬ 
pact. It matures rather early, growing about 
medium height. It is ready to harvest in 50 
to 60 days after sowing. Early Fortune has 
been a very popular variety. 
HOG OR BROOM CORN MILLET -The 
hay is of a coarse quality, except when cut very 
young. The seed is of high food value espe¬ 
cially for poultry and hogs. It is yellowish 
white in color. Hog Millet is very early and 
drought resistant and will produce excellent 
yields of seed and hay.

SORGHUM CANE 
MINNESOTA EARLY AMBER CANE- 
The Early Amber Sugar Cane grown in Minne¬ 
sota is superior to that grown anywhere else. 
It is the earliest strain grown, very hardy, of 
fine quality, and yields from 12 to 20 tons of 
cane per acre, according to soil conditions and 
cultivation. It grows 12 to 18 feet high, yield¬ 
ing much fodder, of good quality. Early Amber 
Cane and Fodder Corn are often planted to¬ 
gether, and produce immense yields. 
One acre of Early Amber Cane will produce 
enough to make 175 to 200 gallons of syrup, of 
delicious rich quality, golden yellow color. 
We offer an improved strain of Minnesota 
Early Amber Sugar Cane which has been care¬ 
fully bred for size, sugar content, and palat- 
ability. Sow 8 to 10 lbs. per acre for syrup. 
Prices: 1 lb. 20c, postpaid. 5 lbs. 80c, postpaid. 
WACONIA ORANGE CANE -Orange Cane 
grows much heavier but shorter stalks than 
Amber Cane and withstands storms and wet 
weather without lodging. It produces an out¬ 
standing quality of syrup and more of it per 
acre. Sow Orange Cane at the same rate as 
the Early Amber Cane. 
FODDER CANE -(Southern Grown.) A 
profitable feed crop that can be grown almost 
everywhere, producing as much as 30 to 35 tons 
of green feed per acre. It makes good hay if 
cut before it grows too high and can often be 
cut a second time. It matures later than Early 
Amber Cane and will not produce seed in the 
North. Sow 50 to 60 lbs. broadcast or 12 to 15 
lbs, in drills per acre. Prices—All Cane Seed: 
Per lb. 20c, 5 lbs. 80c, postpaid. For larger 
quantities see Blue Figure Price List.
