WHITE WONDER 
A long- headed, heavy producing, early maturing variety. 
This is a very fine type of Millet preferred by some over all 
others. The foliage is very hdavy which accounts for its big 
yields. The long heads make prolific seed yields. It is a 
top-notcher in yield of hay and seed. Leaves fairly broad. 
Cures readily. Seed light colored. A trial of this variety 
will prove its superior worth. Our seed quality is very fine. 
See page 32 for bargain prices. 
The genuine German or Golden Millet is a truly remarkable crop. This Millet 
is an enormous yielder both of hay and seed. Its tall dense growth affords a lot 
of fine feed in a short time. The crop is quick growing and a great drought resister. 
Seed yields run 40 to 50 bushels per acre. Can be sown as late as in July and make 
a fine crop. This fine leafy crop is certainly a great help to any farmer caught short 
on feed. 
There is a lot of difference in Millet seed and we want you to be sure to try our stocks 
Heavy producing stock is generally sold at premium prices. You will find our Quotations on 
page 32 unusually attractive. This seed is cleaned, graded and distinctly a superior product 
For feed or seed production our German Millet is a winner. Order your seed earlv and cet 
the choicest stock.

Hungarian Millet 
Earlier than the German but not quite as 
early as Siberian. Very leafy and makes a 
good production of fine quality hay. Stools 
freely. This variety is widely grown. On 
account of its earliness it is especially good 
for northern states but its use is by no 
means confined to that section. In some 
places it is called Hungarian 
Grass. Seed runs mixed col¬ 
ors purple and golden. The 
use of this variety is in¬ 
creasing. Our seed is clean, 
bright, stock and we are 
pricing it very low. See 
page 32. 
PROSO 
Broom Corn Millet 
This variety also goes by the 
name of Hog Millet, a big seed 
producing Millet. It is not 
as good a hay variety as the 
others. The seed is consider¬ 
ably larger and is grown chiefly 
for seed. This is used in feeds 
of different kinds. Equal to small 
grains in fattening value for hogs. 
Poultry men have been praising its 
value highly, and they are largely 
responsible for the great interest in 
this crop, in the past few years. 
CHARACTERISTICS 
Proso Millet is one of the earliest 
maturing varieties, requiring about 
65 to 75 days. Don’t sow too early. 
It is partial to warm seed bed. 
Production 55 to 70 bushels of seed 
per acre is not uncommon. If small 
grain fails or you want a good cash 
catch crop, sow Proso.

A Forage Crop You Should Know Better 
You have probably heard about Cane most of your life, but do you know what it 
can do for you? It is one of the heaviest producing crops you can grow. Will pro¬ 
duce 30,000 lbs. to 60,000 lbs. of green feed per acre with some yields as high as 
80,000 lbs. The yields of cured hay 10,000 to 20,000 lbs. per acre with some records 
as high as 30,000 lbs. or 15 tons per acre. Seed production may vary from 30 bushels 
to 50 bushels to the acre with some reporting 60 bushels. Study these figures. Con¬ 
sider what an enormous production that is. 
OfliAf ValnaWp Pliara/'foflcfrlrf'c Cane roots deeply. For that reason it 
'“**■**“* v dlUaDlc LudraCIcrlSuCS will make a better crop on poor land than 
corn. It gets at plant food that corn cannot reach. Its deep roots also make it a better drought 
resister, having a wonderful capacity in ,hat respect. It withstands the onslaught of hot winds 
better. Cane is also alkaline resistant and a good crop for such land. Cane does not remove as 
much plant food proportionately as small grain. 
U nw I f-nfl For hay use 1 bushel to IV 2 bushels per 
11 UW lu L-oHc acre. The heavier seeding will not yield 
more but makes finer hay. For pasture an even heavier seeding is recom¬ 
mended. When used for fodder a lighter seeding rate is used depending 
upon the distance between the rows. Plow deeply for cane. Pulverize 
the seed bed well. Do not plant until after corn planting. Seed bed 
and weather must be warm. 
The earliest variety. Grown from Maine to 
Amber Cane California. Has slender stalks and narrow 
leaves. Suitable anywhere. We recommend it highly and should be 
selected by all northern customers. , ... 
^ Somewhat later. More abundant leaves which 
vJran^e Cane are broader and stalks and seed heads heavier. 
On account of somewhat heavier yields is a favorite in the corn belt 
where a later ca.ie is used. 
Little Genesee, N. Y. 
Gentlemen: I just harvested 6 acres of new 
seeding that I seeded with your Alsike. Red Clover 
and Timothy seed. I got 20 tons of nice hay off 
of the 6 acres, and I have 6 acres more to cut of 
it and it is as good. It is the best seed I ever 
bought. C. C. Giddings. 
Winslow, Ill. 
Gentlemen: I have been getting seed of your 
Company for the past several years, and think it 
is fine. Have been telling my neighbors and 
friends about your seeds. Below are some of their 
names. Yours very truly,
