Millet grows quickly—serves well for 
emergency production of hay. Sown in 
June and July. Makes a heavy crop. Grows 
well, even on average to poor quality land. 
Used largely as a "catch” crop where an 
earlier seeding of something else has 
failed. 
Millet should be cut for hay before its 
seeds harden, and before the growth be¬ 
comes too woody. If good judgment is 
followed as to time of cutting, nutritious 
hay will result. A safe rule is—cut millet 
when the seed-heads have come on about 
a third of the plants.

MILLET 
SEED 
“GOLDEN” MILLET 
Formerly called German Millet. Makes a heavy yield. 
Takes ten days to two weeks longer than Hungarian, but 
is more leafy and produces a more satisfactory hay. In 
Pennsylvania and to the South seven to nine weeks are 
needed to make a crop. For hay sow three pecks seed per 
acre, 48 pounds per bushel. See Price List. 
“HUNGARIAN” MILLET 
Preferred by some folks. Adapted to Northern condi¬ 
tions. Always dependable for a crop. Comes around ten 
days earlier than the usual Golden Millet—yet not as leafy. 
Sow three pecks per acre. 48 pounds is sold as a bushel. 
“JAPANESE” MILLET 
A tall variety. Thrives on poor soil. Sometimes called by 
the name of "Million Dollar” Grass. Has yielded as high 
as 20 tons per acre. When fed green, should be cut just 
before seed-heads appear. Japanese Millet is more difficult 
to cure than Golden Millet, yet if well cured, makes valu¬ 
able hay. Sow a half bushel per acre. Thirty-two pounds 
is a bushel. Cover the seed well for better results. 
GOLDEN MILLET AND COW PEAS (Mixed) 
Half a bushel Millet with a bushel Cow Peas per acre 
makes a line hay or green feed combination. Grows tall, 
and gives good tonnage. The Millet stalks help hold up 
the Cow Peas (a legume) while growing. This makes for 
cleaner hay. The combination is really more valuable than 
would either be if sown alone for haying purposes.
