MILLET and SORGHUM CANE 
Althoug'li many farmers are now growing 
Millet regularly as a hay crop, it was not until 
the last few years that its value was fully ap¬ 
preciated as a quick-developing crop. Many 
find it of great value in case of crop failure of 
Clover and Timothy, when dry, spring weather 
cuts short the pasture and meadow grasses, or 
when there is a cold, wet spring and corn and 
other early sown crops are drowned out—it is 
then that Millet is fully appreciated. 
Millets may be planted up to July 1 and even 
later, and still produce a crop of hay or pas¬ 
ture. Millet hay properly handled has great 
feeding value and milk-producing qualities. 
For hay it should be cut as soon as it blooms, 
before the seed forms, otherwise the hay is apt 
to be woody. In more southern sections Millet 
is sown as a catch crop after the grain has been 
harvested. It produces the best results in 
warm, rich soil. 
Sow broadcast, using about 40 lbs. per acre, 
covering seed three-quarters of an inch deep. 
For a seed crop, allow the Millet to ripen fully 
and harvest with a grain binder. 
JAPANESE MILLET—Billion Dollar Grass 
Japanese Millet is one of the best forage crops we have, for feeding all 
kinds of livestock. It ranks high in milk-producing qualities, being rich in 
protein and fats. Combined with soy beans, as ensilage, it makes an ideal 
balanced ration, two parts of millet to one of soy beans being the right 
proportion. 
Japanese Millet is adapted to all sections of the country; it makes more 
hay than any other millet, and requires less seed. It is the ideal catch crop, 
and may be sown any time from May to July. 
For hay, cut it just before it blossoms, and cure the same as clover. It 
also makes good pasture, but the cattle must be accustomed to it gradually. 
FIVE REASONS FOR GROWING JAPANESE MILLET: 
1— It grows 4 to 8 ft. high and produces 5 to 6 tons of hay per acre. 
2— It is drought-resistant, yet can be grown on wet or poor soil not fit for 
other millets. 
3— It is good for exterminating quack grass as it stools heavy. 
4— It is cheap to sow, only 16 to 20 lbs. of seed per acre being required. 
5— It is very palatable and is liked by all classes of livestock. 
DO NOT PLANT MILLETS UNTIL THE SOIL IS WARM AND DANGER OF 
FREEZING IS OVER. 
German or Golden Millet. 
SORGHUM CANE 
MINNESOTA EARLY AMBER -The 
Early Amber Sugar Cane grown in Minne¬ 
sota is sui)erior to that grown anywhere else. 
It is the earliest strain grown, very hardy, of 
fine quality, and yields from 12 to 20 tons of 
cane per acre, according to soil conditions and 
cultivation. It grows 12 to 18 feet high, yield¬ 
ing much fodder, of good quality. Early Amber 
Cane and Fodder Corn are often planted to¬ 
gether, and produce immense yields. 
One acre of Early Amber Cane will produce 
enough to make 175 to 200 gallons of syrup, of 
delicious rich quality, golden yellow color. 
We offer an improved strain of Minnesota 
Early Amber Sugar Cane which has been care¬ 
fully bred for size, sugar content, and palat- 
ability. Sow 8 to 10 lbs, per acre for syrup. 
Prices: l lb. 20c, postpaid. 5 lbs. 80c, postpaid. 
DAKOTA AMBER 39-30-S CANE 
Low Acid Cane Variety Developed by the South 
Dakota Experiment Station. 
The demand for low acid content Cane of 
early maturity has been met by the introduc¬ 
tion of Dakota Amber 39-30-S. It grows 55 to 
08 in. tall, the stems are medium large and 
juicy and sweet, tillers freely, the leaves are 
medium in size. It is a good forage and grain 
producer. The following qualities make this 
Cane outstanding: 
1. Low acid content. 
2. More sugar, higher feeding value. 
3. Safe as Sudan Grass. 
4. Certified as to purity—uniform maturity. 
5. Easy to handle. 
6. A good fodder and grain producer. 
Plant 5 to 10 lbs. per acre in cultivated rows 
or 50 to 60 lbs. ijer acre broadcast. 
The supply of this new Cane is limited and 
we quote prices on small quantities only. If 
larger quantities are desired, write for quota¬ 
tions. 1 lb. 40c, 5 lbs. $1.76, 10 lbs. $3.00, 
postpaid. 
PROSO MILLETS 
Sow 26 pounds per acre. 
TURGHAI PROSO -Turghai Millet grows 
three feet tall and has a pxirple spreading 
head. The stems bear a wide leaf similar to 
corn and are not woody. It withstands con¬ 
siderable drought. It is a red seeded variety, 
like Early Fortune. Turghai has yielded from 
50 to 70 bushels on heavy soil and three tons 
of hay per acre, outyielding other Proso Millets. 
Turghai Proso Millet contains 17% protein 
and is one of the richest feeds for hogs, cattle, 
sheep and poultry. Ask for free circular. 
EARLY FORTUNE -This seed is of a 
shiny reddish brown about the size of Turghai. 
The heads are compact. It matures rather 
early, growing about medium height. It is 
ready to harvest in 50 to GO days after sowing. 
HOG OR BROOM CORN MILLET- 
The seed is of high food value especially for 
poultry and hogs. It is yellowish white in 
color. Hog Millet is very early and drought 
resistant and will produce excellent yields of 
seed. 
WACONIA ORANGE CANE - Grows 
much heavier but shorter stalks than Amber 
Cane and withstands storms and wet weather 
without lodging. It produces an outstanding 
quality of syrup and more of it per acre. 
Sow Orange Cane at the same rate ns the 
Early Amber Cane. 
FODDER CANE -(Southern Grown.) A 
profitable feed crop producing as much as 30 
to 35 tous of green feed per acre. It makes 
good hay if cut before it grows too high. It 
matures later than Early Amber Cane. Sow 50 
to 60 lbs. broadcast or 12 to 15 lbs. in drills 
per acre. Prices:—All Cane Seed (except 
Dakota Amber) : Per lb. 20c, 5 lbs. 80c, post¬ 
paid. For larger quantities see Blue Figure 
Price List. 
FOXTAIL MILLETS 
Sow 40 pounds per acre. 
GERMAN OR GOLDEN -This is one of 
the best varieties for hay and fodder. It makes 
rapid, vigorous growth, often yielding 3 to 5 
tons of hay per acre, on good rich soil. It 
grows 4 to 5 feet high, is of rather coarse ap¬ 
pearance, and should be cut for hay before it 
is in full bloom. At this stage, the hay is of 
the best quality, and so tender it can be fed 
to hogs. 
HUNGARIAN -It is about a week earlier 
than German or Golden Millet, and much safer 
for northern sections, especially if sown late 
in the season. It does not grow as vigorously, 
but the hay is of finer quality, especially good 
for cattle, as it is nourishing and milk pro¬ 
ducing. 
SIBERIAN -We think this the best Millet 
for dry sections. It is extremely hardy, drought 
resistant, and about two weeks earlier than 
Golden Millet. It stools heavily, is very leafy, 
and yields enormous quantities of fine quality 
hay. It produces 50 to 70 bushels of seed 
per acre. 
COMMON -Especially adapted for dry and 
light soil. It is very early, growing 3 to 4 
feet high, is hardier than Golden Millet, there¬ 
fore better for northern sections and unfavor¬ 
able conditions, but does not yield as heavily 
as Golden Millet. 
Prices on Millet: 1 lb. 20c, postpaid. For 
larger quantities see Blue Figure Price List. 
F. S. & N. Co. 
I am inclosing order for seed corn and 
oats. I had a bushel of Ideal Silo Corn 
last year. If I had had tzco, -tx'ould have 
had iny silo running over. Our Chinese 
Elms are doing fine, e.rpect to order more 
this season.
