EARLIEST RUSSIAN OR SIBERIAN 
It is two weeks earlier than German Millet, immensely prolific, has 
great stooling habits, is very leafy and bushy and full of rich green 
blades; one kernel has been known to produce upwards of fifty fine, 
strong stalks, just the size that are in great demand and eagerly eaten 
by cattle. It is not an uncommon thing to cut three to four tons of hay 
per acre. This millet stands the hot, dry winds of the Dakotas, the 
burning prairies of Kansas better than other varieties and flourishes on 
the heated soils of Western Nebraska and Colorado. Bags extra.

GERMAN 
Is still the most popular of all the millets. Seed heads are usually about 
an inch thick, 6 to 8 inches long, and packed full of seed, making this 
variety very productive. Is a little later in season than Common. The 
German Millet grows very rank, generally three to four feet high, and is 
one of the best varieties for hay, being sweet, palatable and milk-produc¬ 
ing. The hay may seem coarse, yet it is very tender if cut at the right 
time, which is when in full bloom, and cows and other farm stock are all 
exceedingly fond of it. Bags extra: New at 45c; used at 30c.

Grows usually from 2 y 2 to 3 feet high and makes excellent hay. It is 
a very early variety with tender stems and leaves. Does especially well 
on dry and light soils. Its luxuriant growth and quick maturing pro¬ 
pensities make it one of the best millets for covering shortages in the 
hay crop and for smothering weeds. Bags extra: New at 45c; used at 30c.

Broom Corn Millet 
Proso or Hershey embraces a large family of large 
seeded millets, the most popular of which are the 
Broom Corn or Hog Millet, and Early Fortune Millet, 
listed below. It is claimed that the Prosos are one 
of the best feeds for livestock that can be grown, 
the grain analyzing 12% crude protein as compared 
with 9.6% crude protein for corn and 11.9% protein 
for barley. May be sown as late as July 20th. Sow 
25 lbs. per acre, % to 1 in. deep. Seed bed should 
be smooth and compact. . 
BROOM CORN OR HOG MILLET —This Millet does 
not grow very tall and is, therefore, not much used 
for hay, but it yields enormous quantities of seed, 
often 60 to 70 bu. per acre, and this seed makes good 
feed for swine and other stock. It is of exceptional 
value for those parts and sections where corn cannot 
be safely or cheaply grown. It also makes fine feed 
for poultry and young chicks. It will mature in 
about two months from sowing. The plants resemble 
Broom Corn when growing, hence the name.

EARLY FORTUNE —An extra early variety of Proso. It is 
claimed to be rust-proof and that chinch bugs will not eat 
the plant. The seed is of a, beautiful red color and is two 
or three times the size of German Millet. Not a good variety 
for hay. This variety heads in from 25 to 35 days. It gives 
a large yield of seed, which is relished by cattle, poultry 
and hogs.

MILLET—Early White Wonder 
It is extremely eai'ly and produces with a riotous 
abundance. The heads of this grand millet will 
measure from 8 to 18 inches and a single head will 
have as many as 15,000 seeds. 
It produces an immense amount of excellent fodder 
which cures very readily. We recommend Radium 
Brand Early White Wonder for earliness, vigorous 
growth, and heavv yield of both grain and fodder. Bags)
