OATS 
BURT, OR 90-DAY —The most popular Oat for Spring sowing, 
as it is the earliest variety, is nearly rustproof, hardy and 
vigorous, and yields more grain and feed than most other 
kinds. On account of its earliness it is more satisfactory to 
grow than any other Spring Oat. While it is called a 90-Day 
Oat, we have known crops to mature in much less time. Sow 
2 bushels to the acre. 
GRAY WINTER, OR TURF— This has long been a popular 
variety in this State for Fall seeding. Though a Winter 
Oat, they also succeed well if sown early in the Spring by 
March 15th. Sow 2 bushels to the acre. 
FULGHUM —This Oat is of rust-proof type and is a heavy 
yielder of grain. Is largely used in the South, and is being 
more generally grown each year. 
WHITE SPRING —A well-known, large, heavy White Oat for 
Spring seeding. Sow 2 bushels to the acre.

German or Golden Millet 
TENNESSEE GROWN— The Tennessee cultivated Millet is 
considered far superior to German Millet grown in any other 
section, as it makes a larger growth and has larger heads 
and produces a crop of much better quality. Millet makes 
a good yield of feed, provided it is grown only on good land. 
It should not be grown on poor, thin soils. Sow broadcast 
from May to July, 50 lbs. to the acre. 
PEARL, OR CAT-TAIL —Sometimes called Pencilaria, or Bil- 
lion-Dollar Grass; this variety gives an enormous yield of 
very valuable forage. The plants grow about 12 feet high, 
but it may be cut at 3 feet, when it will thicken up, and may 
then be cut continuously until frost, giving abundant supply 
of rich green food. It is also valuable when used as a dry 
hay. It is usually sown in drills at the rate of about 5 lbs. 
to *he acre, or if broadcast, about 25 lbs.
