Millets 
BLACK VERONEZH MILLET 
Soy or Soja Beans 
This fine newer type Millet 
grows around 48 inches tall un¬ 
der favorable conditions. The 
seed is very valuable feed but 
it is perhaps grown more ex¬ 
tensively for its valuable straw. 
The seed will be entirely ripe 
and the stalks or straw will 
still be green and cures up and 
holds its color as easily as al¬ 
falfa and is greatly relished by 
stock. The seed is rather limit¬ 
ed as yet. We are offering 
some fancy seed of this new 
Millet. You will want to try 
some of it. 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., 
81.35: 25 lbs., 82.75; 50 lbs., 
85.00; 100 lbs., 88.50. 
Whit*» Wonder— The most strik¬ 
ing - feature of White Wonder Millet is the size of 
the heads. A single head will have as many as 
15,000 seeds. 
Valuable for silage, hay, for hogging 
off and as a soil improver. They resem¬ 
ble the Navy Bean in appearance but 
grow considerably taller. When planted 
with corn for silage the total yield per 
acre is increased and the feeding value 
of the silage improved. For hay they 
are valuable as an emergency legumi¬ 
nous crop where clover has been Winter 
killed; equal to clover in feeding value. 
Like clover they gather nitrogen from 
the air. 
For hay, plant 60 to 90 lbs. per acre in 
rows 20 to 36 inches apart. 
The Manchu —Is a good yielder and hence 
is popular with the farmers. The yield 
runs around 20 bushels to the acre and 
the oil content is from 18 to 24 per 
cent. The Manchu is low branching. 
A splendid medium early variety. 
Illini — A variety which has proven itself to be 
adapted to Montana soil and climate. Fields of 
large acreage sown in widely separated districts 
have given quite satisfactory returns. An early 
variety, yields heavily with heavy foliage. 
Sorghum or Sugar Cane 
Early Amber Cane — A selected strain for the 
North, producing a fine quality of fodder and a 
fine yielder. For fodder sow 50 to 60 lbs. broad¬ 
cast or 15 to 20 lbs. in drills. Makes an excellent 
catch crop also. For silage cut when the seeds 
begin to harden. This cane has proven well 
adapted and is the most popular sort with us.

Golden or German— In the North German Millet is 
sown almost altogether for hay and for that pur¬ 
pose Southern-grown seed is much the best. It 
grows taller than does that from Northern seed, 
and that means more hay. 
Siberian or Kursk Millet —This variety was first 
introduced into the United States from Kursk. 
Russia, in 1898. Extensive experiments were con¬ 
ducted at both the South Dakota trial stations, 
which demonstrated the superiority of this new 
variety. As both a hay and seed producer it 
ranks very high. 
Japanese — “Billion Dollar Grass”— -Entirely dis¬ 
tinct from all other Millets. It grows from 6 to 
9 feet high, stands up remarkably and yields 
enormous crops. When cured it makes good hay 
and in quality is superior to corn fodder. It is 
relished by all kinds of stock. 
Proso Type Millets 
Early Fortune or Red Proso— This red form of• the 
Proso or Hog Millet type is in especial favor 
for mixture in poultry foods. One of the surest 
crops in the Northwest, especially valuable for 
late planting. 
Hog or Broom Corn— This is grown for the same 
purpose for which other Millets are sown, but 
makes inferior hay unless cut very young. It 
yields enormously of seed, even 60 to 70 bushels 
to the acre, and this seed is very advantageously 
used for fattening swine and other stock. 
Field Beans 
(Sow 16-24 lbs., per acre) 
Great Northern Navy— This variety seems to be es¬ 
pecially adapted to Montana soil and climate. In 
our opinion it leads all other varieties of Navy 
Beans—when the real test comes—at the table. 
16 to 24 lbs. per acre. 
Small White Navy —The popular Bean a few years 
ago which now seems to be coming back to its 
own, being of small size. Use only 10 to 12 lbs. 
per acre. Splendid cooker and yielder. 
Feferita 
3 to 4 lbs. 
per acre 
(in drills) 
Feterita 
A wonderful 
grain which 
has attracted 
considerable 
attention. 
Matures from 
15 to 20 days 
earlier than 
Kaffir Corn. 
The seed is 
larger and 
heads well 
filled. 
Thrives with 
less moisture 
than most 
other farm 
crops.
