MILLET GRASSES (At Market Prices) 
JAPANESE MILLET. Greatly sur¬ 
passes Hungarian and Golden Millet in 
growth, giving enormous cropping quali¬ 
ties. Equal to com fodder in nourish¬ 
ment, and relished equally as well by 
cattle once they are accustomed to it. 
Seed is suitable for poultry feed. For 
feeding green it may be cut from day to 
day until seed begins to ripen. The 
popular New England green forage. 
HUNGARIAN. One of the quickest and 
earliest catch crops for hay and fairly 
drought resistant. Less rank and smaller 
in stalk than other millets yet a great 
milk producer and popular with dairy¬ 
men for quick green feed. 
TENNESSEE GOLDEN. Makes a 
quickly grown easily cured nutritious hay 
crop. A dry weather summer catch crop 
of great value to succeed crops that fail. 
Stalks grow to a height of 4 feet, a yield 
and maturity about halfway between 
Japanese and Hungarian. Emerson’s 
quality is unsurpassed. 
SOUDAN GRASS. A popular western 
forage plant for cutting and pasturage. 
Extremely drought resisting and rank in 
growth. Many prefer this to millets as 
a hay crop because of heavy yield. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE. The true 
biennial variety. Here is a hardy in¬ 
expensive, forage plant that yields an 
enormous crop, suitable for cattle, hogs, 
or sheep, as well as a cover crop that 
actually restores fertility to the soil. 
Early Fall seeding gives best results. 
THE WONDERFUL SOY BEAN 
This Asiatic plant utilized in so many 
hundreds of ways, commercially as well 
as for agricultural use, has become an 
important one for the American farmer 
in these ways: 
1. A quick cover crop producing abun¬ 
dant and rich green foliage for hay or 
forage use. Produces rich milk. 
2. A soil enriching crop unsurpassed for 
its nitrogen deposit qualities. 
3. One of the best for “green manuring” 
purposes. 
4. As a rotation crop it will grow on soils 
too sour and poor for clovers. 
5. Resistant to wilt and most diseases so 
destructive to many crops. 
With a trial and some patience as to 
cultivation the Soy Bean will prove 
itself invaluable to many New England 
Farmers. 
Black Wilson. A wonderful hay maker 
or for ensilage with com. Cut for hay 
in 80 days. 100 lbs. $7.50. 
MANCHU. One of the most popular; 
larger and bushier than Ito San. For hay 
cut in 90 days. 100 lbs. $7.50. 
MAMMOTH YELLOW. A long sea¬ 
son, coarse variety. Recommended only 
for green manuring. 100 lbs. $8.00. 
Soy Beans produce 7 to 10 tons of green 
feed per acre in 70 to 90 days. 
LADINO CLOVER —- Here is a new giant, 
Dutch type, perennial clover and one made to 
order for low, wet and waste land. 
Experiments have proven its adaptability to 
New England climate and its practical uses may 
be enumerated as follows: 
a. Thrives on low wet soil. 
b. Especially good for pastures where it survives 
or predominates in competition with other 
grasses. 
c. Once established, its fast creeping root sys¬ 
tem enables it to cover the surface at a rapid 
rate. 
d. Does well on slightly acid soil and is readily 
acceptable as a rich cow feed.
