“Your Hybrid Corn is 
everything the other fellow 
said. We got as much corn 
out of three rows as we got 
out of four rows planted the 
same time. I planted one 
bushel of your Hybrid, and 
five No. 2 Jersey, and yours 
seems to be the best. The 
Hybrid we could cut with 
the corn binder, but the 
other we had to cut by hand. 
It was just flat .”—Raymond 
G. Koch, Warren County, 
N. /. 
“Perhaps you would like to 
know about your Victory 
Oats. One 20-acre field, 
sowing II /2 bushels to the 
acre by weight, as a cover 
crop for alfalfa. According 
to the man on the farm (in 
central Michigan), the 
threshing machine was set to 
dump at 40 lbs. We got 
1018 bushels!”—C. W, Neff, 
Kenmore, N. Y. 
MILLETS 
Millet grows quickly. Sown in June and 
July. Makes a heavy crop, even on poor land. 
Cut for hay before seeds harden—before 
growth becomes too woody. Cut millet when 
seed-heads have come on about a third of 
the plants. Half a bushel Millet with a 
bushel Cow Peas per acre makes a fine hay 
or green feed combination. 
"GOLDEN" MILLET 
Make£ a heavy yield. More leafy and pro¬ 
duces a more satisfactory hay. In Pennsyl¬ 
vania seven to nine weeks are needed to 
make a crop. For hay sow three pecks seed 
per acre. Forty-eight pounds per bushel. 
"HUNGARIAN" MILLET 
Preferred by some folks. Adapted to 
northern conditions. Always dependable. 
Forty-eight pounds is a bushel. 
"JAPANESE" MILLET 
A tall variety. Thrives on poor soil. Some 
call it “Million Dollar” Grass. Has yielded 
as high as 20 tons per acre. When fed green, 
should be cut just before seed heads appear. 
More difficult to cure than Golden, yet if 
well cured, makes valuable hay. Sow a half 
bushel per acre. Thirty-two pounds is a 
bushel. Cover the seed well for better results. 
Watch To we Bees 
Bee authorities suggest you 
love all supers, leaving only 
chambers during the 
winter. This may necessitate 
artificial feeding at times, but 
this is preferable. Hives should 
be protected by wind breaks, 
and well insulated. Watch out 
for mice, they can do real dam¬ 
age. 
A FRIENDLY FAVOR 
Maybe your neighbor never gets a Hoff¬ 
man catalog . . . we’d like him to. Would 
you care to do us the favor of telling us his 
name and address? Your kindness would be 
appreciated here. And maybe your action 
would be even more appreciated by him . . . 
after he would share with you the benefits 
that come from sowing Dependable Seeds 
. . . Thank you very much!
