Millets 
Dry Land Seeds 
Western Clover Seed 
The many varieties of Millets serve well for hay, forage, 
and grain crops. They afford a quick, luxuriant crop of hay of 
good feeding value without cultivation. On account of their 
quick luxuriant growth, they aid in checking weeds and are 
of value for this purpose on irrigated lands. As millets can 
be planted late in July, they are used extensively for emerg- 
ency crops. As a smut preventative soak millet seed in for¬ 
maldehyde solution for two hours, using 1 pint formaldehyde 
to 4? gallons of water. Copper Carbonate is also effective. 
Sow about Ya inch deep and in rows 12 to 16 inches apart. 
Hog Millet is the Proso or Common Millet of the old world. 
It is also known as Broom Corn Millet, Manitoba, and 
Dakota Millet. When forage or hay is desired the crop 
should be cut early. The seed has a slightly higher feeding 
value than oats and is used extensively in mixed feeds. Of the 
Hog Millets, Red Turghai, Early Fortune and Yellow Mani¬ 
toba are the best adapted varieties. 
Big German Millet has long heads crowded full with 
myriad seeds; small stems, luscious, and highly palatable, 
clustered thick with fine narrow leaves. This is a very valu¬ 
able variety for hay and forage, for general feeding, for 
milk production. 
White Wonder Millet is early and productive. Heads are 
from 8 to 18 inches long. The foliage is heavy; the leaves 
broad but the fodder cures readily. The seed contains a low 
percentage of fiber, is therefore very fattening and makes 
good feed. 
Siberian or Red Russian 
Millet is a very fine, early, 
extremely hardy, drought- 
resistant variety. Produces 
big. Forage is quite palat¬ 
able. Seed has high feeding 
value. 
Prices: Millets will be priced 
on Special Field Seed Price 
List. 
REGISTERED SEED 
The purchaser of registered 
seed insures his success in 
crop production in so far as 
it is humanly possible to 
insure a crop through the 
purchase of good seed. 
Every pound of Colorado 
Registered seed has been 
produced under the super¬ 
vision of the State Seed 
Registration Service and 
the Extension Service of 
the Colorado Agricultural 
College. It has been 
examined in the field and 
sampled in the bin by 
trained inspectors. It has 
been tested in the Colorado 
Seed Laboratory. In every 
instance it has met the rigid 
requirements for purity and 
viability a* indicated by the 
official Blue or White tag 
found on each bag. 
Bit German Millet. 
Clovers, being leguminous 
crops, are soil builders, and 
are very useful for the farm or 
ranch. They are used for 
mixtures of hay and pasture as 
well as sown alone. Clover 
seeds in 100-lb. quantities or 
over will be priced on Special 
Field Seed Price List. 
Medium Red Clover (Tri¬ 
folium pratense) is sown at 
rate of 15 pounds per acre 
and may be seeded any time 
from April to October. 
Makes good hay and pas¬ 
ture and is adapted for 
planting with numerous 
grasses when either hay or 
pasture is desired. Prices: 
1 lb., 35c; 10 lbs., #3.00. 
Mammoth Red Clover is 
especially valuable for light 
sandy soil for fertilizing 
purposes. It grows more 
luxuriously than Medium 
Red in the same length of 
time but only affords one 
cutting. It does make excellent grazing and good hay if cut 
when young, but if left too long it then becomes thick and 
woody. Sow 8 to 10 pounds of seed to the acre. Prices: 
1 lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.00. 
Alsike Clover (Trifolium hybridum) is undoubtedly the 
best high altitude clover for hay, being planted extensively 
throughout the Rocky Mountain regions at high altitude, 
where alfalfa winter-kills. The stems are thin, bearing a thick 
growth of leaves. It is a valuable forage crop sown alone 
or with timothy. Prices: 1 lb., 35c; 10 lbs., #3.00. 
White Blossom Sweet Clover (Melilotus alba), also 
known as Bokhara Clover. It is a hardy biennial plant 
that will grow in all climates and with little regard to the 
character of the soil. Withstands extreme heat and cold, is 
quite drought-resistant, and will tolerate alkali. White 
Blossom Sweet Clover has value as a forage crop and hay 
crop and is very efficient as a soilage crop, and should be 
given consideration in crop rotations. Prices: 1 lb., 20c; 
10 lbs., #1.50. 
Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover (Melilotus officinalis). 
Like White Blossom Sweet Clover this will grow on almost 
any kind of soil. It is semi-dwarf in habit, very drought- 
resistant, and is very desirable for forage, hay, and pasture. 
Melilotus officinalis is a biennial. It should not be confused 
with annual Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover. Prices: 1 lb., 
20c; 10 lbs., #1.50. 
With the new reduced Nitragin prices it is now possible to 
inoculate all legumes with dated, high-count Nitragin at a 
very low cost. Seed inoculation is a protection as well as an 
aid to growth. See page 71 for prices on Nitragin, as well as 
for information pertaining to it. 
REGISTERED FIELD SEED 
A new variety is never accepted for registration unless it has been 
thoroughly proven on the Experiment Stations, and in field trials. This 
probation period extends over four or more years. After a variety has been 
proven superior in yield and quality, it is subjected to a critical examina¬ 
tion. Only the most vigorous and prolific plants are saved. Plants thus se¬ 
lected are increased until sufficient seed js available for release to registered 
seed growers as foundation stock. Registration makes possible the main¬ 
tenance of these original qualities.
