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

PRO SO 
or Hog Millet 
This variety is a big seed pro¬ 
ducing Millet. It is not as good 
a hay variety as the others. The 
seed is considerably larger and 
is grown chiefly for seed. This 
is used in feeds of different 
kinds. Equal to small grains in 
fattening value for hogs. Poul¬ 
try men have been praising its value 
highly, and they are largely re¬ 
sponsible for the great interest in 
this crop, in the past few years. 
CHARACTERISTICS 
Proso Millet is one of the earliest 
maturing varieties, requiring about 
G5 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.

dtneif v aiuaDle v^naracierisncs ma i( e 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 that 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. 
Wrtw I Tco For hay use 1 bushel to IV 2 bushels per 
acre . xhe heavier seeding will not yield 
more hut 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 
rVUlPci Lollc 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 
Vfougv are broader and stalks and seed heads heavier. 
On account of somewhat heavier yields is a favorite in the corn belt 
where a later cane is used.

Little Genesee, N. Y. 
Gentlemen: I j'ust 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 G acres more to cut ot 
it and it is as good. It is the best seed I ever 
bought. C. C. Giddings.
