X-L FIELD SEEDS 
''X-L" HI-GERMINATING ELEPHANT 
FODDER 
Our particular strain of this variety has become popular 
with many dairymen and stock growers in Montana because 
of its large size, earlier maturity, finer and richer fodder and 
ease of handling. Grows to an average height of 8 to 10 
feet, is very leafy and has a small stalk. 
Millet 
HAY OR FOXTAIL MILLET 
Sow from 20 to 30 lbs. per acre broadcast 
X-L GERMAN OR GOLDEN 
This is one of the best varieties for hay and fodder. Grows 
4 to 5 feet high. Is of rather coarse appearance 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. Like other millets it has a very low water requirement 
and is an excellent dry land crop. 
X-L SIBERIAN 
We consider this the best millet for dry sections. Ex¬ 
tremely hardy, drought resistant and about two weeks 
earlier than German. It stools heavily, is very leafy, and 
yields enormous quantities of fine quality hay.

on s u b-irrigated

and thickness which 
made a wonderful 
hay crop. 
PROSO MILLETS 
X-L EARLY FORTUNE 
One of the surest crops in the northwest. Especially valu¬ 
able for late planting. The seed is of a shiny reddish brown 
and is recommended for mixture in poultry feeds. 
X-L HOG OR BROOM CORN 
The hay is of a coarse quality except when cut very 
young. Feed is of high food value especially for poultry 
and hogs. It is yellow-white in color. Hog Millet is very 
drought resistant and yields enormous quantities 
of feed, often 60 to 70 bushels per acre. Matures in about 
two months from sowing and makes one of the finest feeds 
for poultry, baby chicks, and turkeys. 
Don't buy good seed to plant 
and then feed the gophers and 
prairie dogs. KILL THEM IN¬

Oats 
X-L VICTORY 
This variety is highly recommendea by our State Experi¬ 
ment Station because of its consistently high yield perform¬ 
ance on both dry and irrigated land. It is a heavy yielding 
variety of thin hulled, plump, white oats. Our seed weighs 
over 40 lbs. per bushel and is free of wild oats 
X-L SWEDISH SELECT 
The straw is coarse, noted for its stiffness and power to 
withstand lodging. This variety originated in Sweden and 
has proven one of the most dependable varieties for the 
Northwest. Our stock for this year-is exceptionally fine, well 
matured, plump, free of wild oats-'and of high germination. 
SEED WHEAT 
X-L MARQUIS 
Grown and selected for us from pure stock and was 
produced from a pure, high yielding, early maturing strain. 
Chief characteristic is it is beardless, has good straw and 
fine milling qualities. 
SPRING RYE 
Sow 40 to 50 lbs. per acre. Spring rye should be sown 
more extensively. Can be grown on light and sandy soil; 
on land too poor for wheat, and does equally well on acid 
and non-acid soils. Produces a crop that can be relied upon 
regardless of drought, wet, cold or excessive heat condi¬ 
tions. Makes excellent hay when cut early, and if allowed 
to mature, produces one of the best fattening grains for 
hogs. 
WINTER OR FALL RYE 
Serves a very useful purpose for pasture and hay. May 
be sown in the spring and summer as well as in the fall. 
When Winter Rye is sown after frost it goes into the follow¬ 
ing season before maturing, thus making it a biennial. 
Fall Rye planted in the spring on either dry or irrigated 
land for pasture purposes gives satisfactory results. Makes 
an early abundant pasture due to the stooling characteristics 
emphasized by the spring conditions. 
BARLEY 
Sow 50 to 70 lbs. per acre 
X-L TREBI 
A bearded six-rowed variety which has proven to be one 
of the highest yielders. Rapidly displacing all other varieties 
in the irrigated sections of Montana. An excellent performer 
under dry land conditions. Grain is large, plump, and white, 
with a very thin hull. 
X-L HORN 
A two-rowed variety which has proven to be the out¬ 
standing heavy yielder under dry land conditions. Grows 
taller and is a greater yielder than Hannchen. 
X-L WHITE HULLESS AND BEARDLESS 
Earlier than the bearded varieties and six-rowed. When 
grown for hay it should be cut before it is ripe while the 
straw is still green. One of the best hog fatteners we know 
of. It is a heavy yielder and can be given to the hogs in 
bundles and they will eat every kernel of it. 
FAUST STRAIN BLUE HULLESS AND BEARDLESS 
During the past five years this new type has proven itself 
to be the highest yielding of all hulless types. The feed 
value of this barley is the highest of all barley, and 35 to 
40 bushel yields are very common. 
REASONS FOR PLANTING MILLET ON EVERY FARM 
1. For feeding stock, poultry, and everything of that 
kind, Proso is nearly the equal of wheat. 
2. It fattens turkeys as well as corn. 
3. One of the greatest egg producers of all grains, and 
a wonderful chick feed. 
4. Especially valuable as a "catch" crop; something 
that can be planted very late and still mature a 
green or hay crop. 
5. Many farmers use it to smother and get rid of noxious 
weeds because it is such a fast growing crop. 
6 . Remarkable results are obtained in fattening hogs 
and cattle with it. 
MOST DROUGHT RESISTANT GRAIN 
Proso has the lowest water requirement of any grain 
crop. At the government experiment station at Akron, 
Colorado, only about two-fifths as much water was 
required to produce a ton of Proso grain as was neces¬ 
sary to produce a ton of wheat. 
Plant 20 lbs. per acre on dry land with a grain drill 
and harvest same way you do grain. By planting 30 
lbs. per acre brodcast, tender hay of excellent quality 
can be produced.
