Earl's Annual Hog 
Pasture Mixture 
Many farmers require a 
mixed seeding for their hog 
lots and hog pastures. We have 
developed our Annual Hog Pas¬ 
ture Mixture for those who want 
the best combination of annuals at 
the lowest price. Earl's Hog Pas¬ 
ture Mixture is a quick-growing com¬ 
bination of Rape, Sudan, Millet, etc. 
Your hogs will put on pork at all sea¬ 
sons of the year if pastured on this mix¬ 
ture. Sow it in the waste places, hog 
lot, and your hog pasture. 
HARBIN LESPEDEZA 
Harbin is an early strain of Korean 
which shows a great deal of promise in 
the northern states. Harbin has been 
successfully grown in Minnesota, Wis¬ 
consin, and even Southern Canada. It is 
primarily a pasture crop and, of course, 
is a legume so it builds up the soil at 
the same time it is providing lots of 
rich, nutritious pasture. Harbin, same as 
Korean, shows no tendency to bloat live¬ 
stock. Harbin is an annual that sprouts, 
produces a crop, reseeds, and dies all in 
the same year. The reseeding keeps the 
crop coming on year after year where 
it is grown. Sow 5 pounds to the acre 
drilled in rows for seed cultivation, and a 
half bushel to the acre for abundant 
pasture.

HEGARI 
Hegari is an annual crop used for its 
grain and silage and fodder properties. 
It should not be sown until the weather 
is warm. It is also known as “Sweet 
Sorgo,” having a sweet stalk that is rel¬ 
ished by livestock. Hegari is a white 
seeded grain sorghum of which the seed 
is very similar to Atlas or White Kaffir. 
It produces very heavy yields of grain, 
fodder and ensilage under favorable con¬ 
ditions. 
It has yielded under average conditions; 
10 to 12 tons of silage per acre, 6 to 8 
tons of dry fodder per acre, 40 to 60 
bushels of threshed grain per acre and 
being drought resistant, grows in dry, 
arid territories, too. It matures a trifle 
earlier than Atlas Sorgo. It can be fed 
as threshed grain, headed grain, dry fod¬ 
der, or ensilage. Grain makes a splendid 
feed for chickens. Use 12 to 15 pounds 
in a two-row corn planter, or 25 to 30 
pounds per acre when splitting the corn 
rows with a corn planter. Drill with an 
eight-inch grain drill, about 40 
pounds per acre, and broadcast, # 
50 to 75, per 100 lbs. ** - 
FODDER CANE 
Cane is one of our greatest forage crops. It should be sown 
a little later than corn. The thicker the seeding, the finer the 
stem and the better feed. Ten pounds is generally the amount 
drilled in with a two-row corn planter per acre, and 40 pounds 
drilled with a grain drill, and 50 to 75 pounds broadcast. Fodder 
Canes are very important in the western part of the Farm Belt 
on account of the great amount of feed which they 
give in a very short time. We have Early Mixed 
Fodder Cane for you. Per 100 lbs. only.

Feterita 
Feterita has rather slender stems, five to seven feet high 
slightly juicy and sweet. The grains are bluish- 
white; is used primarily for a grain crop, matures 
about one week before Milo. Per 100 lbs. 
Yellow Milo 
Milo seems to be practically disease free. The yield is gener¬ 
ally from 25 to 30 bushels to the acre. The stems are 
stout, rather pithy; makes wonderful chicken feed as «P ^50 
well as feed for other livestock. Per 100 lbs. 4p 
White Kaffir 
The earliest maturing Kaffir. Yields of 75 bushels to the 
acre have been reported of this variety. Sow same _ 
amount per acre as Cane. Cultivated row growing 2? jl 00 
is best. 
Per 100 lbs. 
German Millet 
In Asia this Millet is used for human food. In this coun¬ 
try, it’s one of our most important hay crops. It grows 
under extremely difficult conditions, matures early, and 
is drought resisting. The Golden or German Type Millet is a 
selected type which gives extra good yields of both feed and 
seed. Sow the seed after the ground warms up. Can probably 
be seeded as late as the middle of July in this territory 
Under favorable circumstances a hay yield can be taken 4'0 
to 50 days after seeding. We recommend 50 pounds to the 
acre broadcast or drilled. Relished by cattle and sheep or 
if cut just after blooming, will make good horse 
feed, too, if fed in connection with other roughage.
