MILLET LEGUME CROPS 
MILLET (Lee’s Tennessee Golden). This 
is the big-headed type, a variety we have 
specialized in for many years. Unlike the 
Western Millet, it grows much larger and 
produces a larger crop of nutritious hay. 
Should be cut when coming to flower. It 
makes a crop in about 60 days and can be 
sown as late as July. Sow broadcast at the 
rate of one bushel (50 lbs.) per acre. 
CANE FOR FODDER 
SACCHARINE TYPES FOR FORAGE 
EARLY AMBER CANE. Much in demand 
on account of its earliness. Does not pro¬ 
duce as large a stalk as other varieties but 
makes finer hay. 
EARLY ORANGE CANE. About ten days 
later than Early Amber but makes a taller, 
larger and more leafy growth. Preferred 
by many growers on account of containing 
more sweetness in the stalk than most va¬ 
rieties. 
RED TOP or SUMAC. Later growth and 
better drouth resister than Orange or Am¬ 
ber. 
NON-SACCHARINE TYPES FOR 
FORAGE 
FETERITA. An excellent drouth resistant 
forage crop. Similar to Kafir Corn but 
grows taller, producing larger heads. 
KAFIR CORN (white seeded). Valuable for 
dry-land farming, producing seed in great 
abundance which is rich, nutritious, and fat¬ 
tening as corn. 
MILO MAIZE (yellow). A species of Kafir 
Corn, and planted, cultivated and harvested 
in the same manner. 
DORSO. A new grain sorghum with a low- 
growing, sweet, juicy stem with 12 to 13 
per cent sugar in the juice. 
SAGRAIN (Schrock Kafir). Fine for for¬ 
age and ensilage, as it grows an abundance 
of long, broad leaves, and is quite sweet. 
GROHOMA. A fine medium maturing grain 
sorghum crop that is drought resisting. 
Plant in rows and cultivate like corn or cot¬ 
ton. Five pounds plants an acre. 
HEGARI. The popularity of this valuable 
grain as a grain and forage sorghum is 
fast taking the place of all other non-sac¬ 
charine sorghums. Hegari is not to be 
compared with Kafir and Milo as to its 
forage value. Instead it compares most 
favorably with Red Top and Amber Cane. 
Its saccharine content is high, and it is 
very palatable to stock. The uniform and 
upright seed-heads of white grain do not 
shatter. It is drought resistant and in short 
seasons is a sure feed crop. Plant 8 to 10 
pounds per acre in drills.

SOY BEANS 
When the crop is grown primarily for 
the seeds to be used in oil and oil mill pro¬ 
duction the color of seed and percentage of 
oil should be considered. Yellow and White 
varieties such as the White Biloxi are pre¬ 
ferred by manufacturers as they are high 
in oil and yield a better appearing meal or 
flour than the dark colored varieties. 
BILOXI (165 days). An upright variety 
growing 4 to 5 feet high, covered with a 
dense mass of foliage which does not shed 
easily. A heavy yielder of beans. The oil 
and protein are high. The pods are less 
liable to pop than most varieties. In drills 
sow Y 2 bushel per acre; broadcast, 2 bush¬ 
els per acre. 
SOY BEANS (White Biloxi). (150 to 165 
days). A selection from the Biloxi. A 
white bean with a dark brown eye. Has 
the good qualities of the chocolate Biloxi 
but heavier grain yielder and a larger hay 
yielder. The nearest non-shattering white 
bean that has ever been grown in the south. 
Makes fine winter pasture for cattle, mules 
and hogs. One of the best for crushing, 
being very high in protein and the oil con¬ 
tents is high. Being late makes it a val¬ 
uable bean to plant in corn. In drills sow 
V 2 bushel, broadcast 2 bushels per acre. 
SOY BEANS (Laredo) (145 days). The 
seeds are small and one bushel will plant 
from 8 to 10 acres. In sowing for seed the 
planting should be three to six inches apart 
in drills, and in sowing for hay they should 
be somewhat closer.
