OLDS’ SUDAN GRASS 
Sudan Grass is proving a mighty valuable crop for Wisconsin. Last year many fields 
were planted with Sudan Grass as an emergency hay crop and it proved very satisfac¬ 
tory. No crop quite equals Sudan Grass for a late pasture and hay crop. Our sales 
of Sudan Grass have been steadily increasing each year. 
Here are five reasons why Sudan Grass is of such great value: 
First ~ Yield * makes a heavy yield of hay, outranking all the millets in yield per 
acre. Yields of 2 to 4 tons of cured hay per acre from one cutting are common in 
Wisconsin. Two cuttings a season can often be made. 
Second—Quality. It makes a better quality hay than millet. It makes wonderful 
hay grown with Soy Beans and helps to cure them. 
Third—Late Sowing. It can be sown late, after you are through with your corn, 
or when corn fails. Sow any time from May 20th to June 20th, or even a little later. 
Do not sow too early. It is strictly a warm weather crop and if put in too early 
the seed will rot. Sow not less than 35 pounds of seed per acre and a drill is better 
than a seeder for putting it in. 
Fourth—Drouth Resistant. It withstands long periods of drouth continuing to grow 
when most everything else is dried up. 
Fifth—Quack Killer. It is valuable as a smother crop, especially for quack and 
Canada thistle. 
In addition to all the above five good qualities and most important of all Sudan 
Grass can be pastured. After the hay crop is taken off it makes a fine late pasture 
as it grows up again quickly. Or, it can be pastured all the season instead of being 
cut for hay. It is also great for late pasture. Sown the last of May or first of 
June it is ready the middle of July when the blue grass pasture is dried up. 
We recommend Sudan Grass most highly. It grows quickly, produces enormously and 
is an easy crop to handle. It is strictly an annual, dying at the end of the season.

OLDS' MILLETS 
GERMAN MILLET 
Most popular of all the millets. A tall growing variety with large stout stems, leaves 
broad and stiff. Seed of a yellow or golden color. For seed sow at the rate of 12 
to 15 pounds and for hay sow about 30 to 40 pounds per acre. Millet may be sown 
from May 15th to July 1st. 
Prices, by freight: 5 lbs., 45c; 10 lbs., 80c; 100 lbs., $4.00; 500 lbs. at $3.90. 
JAPANESE MIL. 
LET. (Billion Dollar 
Grass.) A very large mil¬ 
let adapted to all sections. 
Specially fine for low 
ground. Makes more hay 
than German Millet and 
requires less seed per 
acre. Sow in May or 
June, 20 to 25 pounds per 
acre. 
Prices: 5 lbs., 50c; 10 
lbs., 85c; 100 lbs., $4.25; 
500 lbs. or over at $4.15. 
COMMON MIL- 
LET. A little earlier 
in season than German 
Millet. Leaves are 
rather broad and not 
as stiff as German, and 
seed heads are smaller. 
Seed is white instead 
of yellow. Some farm¬ 
ers prefer it to Ger¬ 
man. 
THE BEST MILLET 
of all 
White Wonder is the best 
the millets in our judgment. 
First. It produces more tons of hay 
per acre than any other millet. 
Second. In spite of the very large 
growth the foliage is thick, with nu¬ 
merous broad leaves so that it fur¬ 
nishes a high grade of millet hay. 
Third. White Wonder is earlier 
than either German or Common Mil¬ 
let and is well adapted to the north. 
Fourth. It outyields any other mil¬ 
let as a seed crop. C. L. Newhouse, 
of Rock County, Wisconsin, threshed 
75 bushels per acre. 
Our stock is very fine—clean, plump 
and bright. 
Prices, by freight: 5 lbs., 45c; 10 
lbs., 80c; 100 lbs., $4.00; 500 lbs. at 
$3.90. 
(One pound, any variety of millet, 
by mail, 25c; 3 lbs., 50c. By freight: 
Lb., 20c.) 
Prices: 5 lbs., 45c; 
10 lbs., 80c; 100 lbs., 
$4.00; 500 lbs. at 
$3.90. 
HOG OR BROOM 
CORN MILLET. 
Makes inferior hay, 
unless cut very young, 
but yields enormous 
quantities of large, 
plump seed, very val¬ 
uable for poultry. 
Prices: 5 lbs., 40c; 
10 lbs., 70c; 100 lbs., 
$3.50; 500 lbs. at 
$3.40.
