8 Seed Oats 
RUSSELL-HECKLE 
Memphis, Tenn, 
It.-]I. Co/s Seed Oats 
Culture—Sow as early as possible, in February and through March, in good soil two to two and one-half bushels to 
the acre. If the soil is poor, use 200 to 300 pounds 16% Phosphate to the acre. Cut them for hay when the oats are in 
the milk stage or about half mature. 
Appier Oats 
This is another development from an improvement over 
the old original Red Rust-Proof Oats. Its productiveness, 
probably more than any of its other good qualities, has 
contributed to its wide jDopularity. They stool out splen¬ 
didly, have large, full heads, fine, plump grains and strong 
straw that stands about three feet high. It has plump 
grains and exceptional heavy weight; the weight per meas¬ 
ured bushel averaged 35 pounds, often reaching 37 pounds, 
and almost never falling below 32 pounds. 
Early Hurt or Ninety-Hay Oats 
Probably the earliest maturing of all Oats, hence Burts 
can be planted after it is too late to sow any other variety. 
Can be planted in March and mature in time to escape in¬ 
jury from heat. Early plantings can be cut in time to put 
the same land in corn, cowpeas, soy beans, peanuts, cane 
millet or other summer crops. For quick feed in the spring 
and for grazing, the Early Burt is the best of all. It is 
not a heavy yielder of grain, but fine for cutting in the 
dough stage. 
Kanota Oats 
Bred at Kansas Experiment Station; named for three 
states, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas. Bred from an improved 
strain of Fulghum, and often called Kanota-Fulghum. A 
splendid variety, early in maturity, always a big advan¬ 
tage; an exceptionally heavy yielder of both grain and 
straw, with uniform plump, heavy berry. Quite resistant 
to cold and for that reason much sought after for fall 
planting. 
Fulghum 
A rust proof variety developed from the original Red 
Rust-Proof Oat. It is one of the most satisfactory and pop¬ 
ular oats known. Its productiveness and early maturity, 
probably more than any of its other good qualities, have 
contributed to its wide popularity. They stool out splen¬ 
didly, have large full heads, fine plump grains, and strong 
straw that stands about 3 feet high. 
Red Rust-Proof Oats 
For years the standard in the South. Thousands of acres 
are planted to Red Rust-Proof Oats each year. Oats in the 
South have long been subject to rust and that’s why the 
Northern White Oats are not successful down South. The 
Red Rust-Proof Oat is a very vigorous grower, robust and 
productive, does well on low ground. 
Extra Heavy Oregon Grown Winter 
Turf Oats 
By far the heaviest oat we ever handled. The U. S. De¬ 
partment of Agriculture recommended to us the Oregon 
Winter Turfs when the Tennessee stock "ran out.” The 
Oregon Winter Turfs are heavier yielders of both grain and 
hay, they stool much more heavily than any other oat, 
therefore, are unsurpassed for grazing during the winter 
and spring. You will be delighted with results if you plant 
them. Probably the most resistant to winter killing of all 
our oats.

Oats and Millet. 
R.-H. CO.'s MILLET 
MILLET. Nothing pays better for a stock raiser or dairy farmer than a few acres of 
Millet, for it not only yields at least half again as much hay per acre as Timothy or Clover 
but is also of the greatest feeding value and milk producing quality. When spring is so un¬ 
favorable that other crops fail to grow, or when the season is so late that corn will not ma¬ 
ture, Millet is invaluable. 
Tennessee German Millet 
Our Southern grown Millet makes much better growth than the Western grown seed. This 
true Tennessee grown, a type that produces better quality, grows taller and gives a larger 
yield of very nutritious hay, is a quick grower. It should be cut for hay when it begins to 
show the heads. Plant iy 2 to 2 bushels an acre broadcast. Plant from April to August. 
Japanese or Rarnyard Millet 
Distinct from other millets; grows 4 to 6 feet high, yielding an enormous crop that in qual¬ 
ity is equal to corn fodder and is relished by stock. Sow in May, June or July, 20 pounds to 
the acre broadcast; or sow in 15-inch drills and cultivate until it is 18 inches high. 
Pearl or Cattail Millet 
One of the greatest and best yielders of green forage and continues to grow and produce 
through the entire season if cut frequently enough to prevent its going to seed; three to four 
cuttings may be had. Sow thinly in rows 3 feet apart at rate of 8 to 10 pounds per acre. 
Egyptian Wheat or Sliallu 
The heads are large and heavy. It makes hens lay better than any poultry food. Plant in 
drills 3 feet apart, using ten pounds of seed per acre; or broadcast, using from 2 to 4 bushels. 
Grohoma 
This new forage and grain crop, after thorough trials the past season, was found very 
satisfactory. Stock of all kinds like it. in fact they eat every particle of the stalk, leaves and 
head. Plant from April 1st to July 1st in good soil. Make rows 4 feet apart drop seed 12 
inches. Since it stools considerably, very little seed is required. Sow 2 pounds to the acre. 
Feterita 
Three or four weeks earlier than Kaffir Corn. It is the 
most drought-resisting of any of the sorghum family. 
Sow in April or May, in drills, 5 pounds to the acre. 
Darso 
Low growing, heavy foliaged, with a large stalk, usu¬ 
ally tinged red. On account of its drought-resisting qual¬ 
ities it has become a safe feed crop. Makes excellent 
silage, grain, and forage. Sow in 3%-foot rows, 10 lbs. 
to the acre. 
Megari 
Tennessee German 
Millet. 
Earlier than Kaffir corn or Feterita, dwarf in growth 
with large heads of white grains, stands dry weather 
well. Plant 8 to 10 pounds per acre in drills. 
Mammoth Russia si Sunflower 
Plant up to July 1st at rate 8 lbs. to 
Makes fine poultry feed, ensilage, and hog feed, 
the acre. Plant and cultivate same as corn. 
Teosinte 
Fine forage plant, grows 12 feet high, can be cut often. 
3 ft. rows, thin to six inches. 
Plant 4 lbs. to an acre in 
Ruckwheat 
Note — This is NOT Gov. Alf 
Landon’s Sunflower. 
Sow three pecks to one bushel to the acre. It can be sown so late as to prove a profit¬ 
able second crop to follow early peas, potatoes, etc. Good pasturage for bees.
