GAME BIRDS 
Virginia Superintendent of Game Propagation 
says: “Any farm can be economically stocked with 
quail, wild turkey and other game birds if suitable 
food in variety and abundance is furnished adja¬ 
cent to nesting and protective cover. Food patches 
planted in open fields more than 100 feet from 
cover are little used by quail. Farms so intensively 
cultivated or pastured that there is no cover, or 
farms with ample cover, but no food, cannot have 
quail. Planting only one crop like cow peas will 
not establish a permanent covey range. A mixture 
of several kinds of foods to furnish year round 
nourishment is necessary. Planting long strips, 10 
to 14 feet wide beside woods, branches or fence 
rows will furnish food and cover for many more 
coveys than planting the same area in one or two- 
a,cre plots every half mile or so. 
On large areas plant a network of cultivated 
strips, clearing lanes through dense woods where 
necessary. The land should be disked and the quail 
planting mixture broadcast and covered lightly 
with a harrow. It is preferable to plant in rows as close as 
possible and cultivated once or twice. Apply fertilizer. To 
save trouble in cultivation plant in several of the outside 
rows of a cultivated crop, (like corn, cotton, etc.), either 
when the crop is planted or laid by. In early spring broad¬ 
cast on small grain and harrow in lightly. Let brush and 
thickets grow alongside. When brush is cut leave it on the 
ground for cover. Spread old straw or other fodder on top 
of seed on poor, barren ground. 
WOOD’S QUAIL PLANTING MIXTURE 
The best seed mixture to produce permanent year round 
feed for partridges, wild turkey, pheasants, doves, etc. Also 
superior to cut down the feed bill of domestic fowls. If 
planted according to above instructions, will attract and 
multiply numbers of coveys and furnish good hunting. For 
quail plant in long strips next to cover; for turkeys and 
pheasants larger strips or patches; for doves, one or two- 
acre plots. The mixture includes practically all cultivated 
crops relished by game birds for quick growth and to keep 
them in plump, vigorous condition. Composed of ses- 
bania, bene, Florida beggarweed, brown top and Tennessee 
millet, sericea, Korean and common lespedeza, cow peas, 
laredo soy beans, crimson clover, hairy vetch, Austrian 
winter peas. Canada field peas, rape, shallu, kaffir corn, 
sorghum and buckwheat. Sow 15 lbs. per acre in cultivated 
rows, or 30 to 35 lbs. broadcast when seeding or laving by 
other crops. However, it is better to seed alone after the ground 
warms in early summer. Apply 300 lbs. per acre of WOOD’S 
SUPER STANDARD FERTILIZER. Will reseed itself, furnishing 
a permanent growth, but it is better to disk,harrow and sow every 
year if possible. The legumes in this mixture will enrich the soil. 
Bene —Produces an enormous amount of nutritious fattening 
seeds loved by game birds and poultry. Ours is the tall 
growing variety, adapted to most all soils, produces an upright 
growth about 6 feet tall, covered in the fall with long okra-like 
pods. These gradually open all winter, dropping the seeds which 
attract quail and other game birds. Drill 5 lbs. per acre in 2% 
to 3-foot rows and cultivate; or broadcast 15 lbs. per acre. 
Brown Ton Millet — Seeds relished hy quail and turkeys. 
Excellent bird cover or summer hay crop. 
Culture same as Tennessee millet which it resembles, but is 
taller, has larger heads and produces more hay and seeds. Every 
hunting preserve should plant it. 
Wood’s Game Bird Scatter Food —Attracts quail, turkeys, 
doves and game birds to 
your farm by scattering it regularly near brush or other cover 
during cold months when food is scarce. Our formula was pre¬ 
pared by a high authority on game bird feeding. Composed of 
cracked grain and seed they love. 
PEARL or CAT-TAIL MILLET 
Grows 10 to 12 feet tall. For greatest amount of nutritious green 
feed or hay cut at 3 to 4 feet. Stools out luxuriantly; gives 3 or 4 
cuttings a season, growing till frost. It does well even on poor 
land and in dry seasons. All stock eat it greedily and flourish on 
it. FIiANT 5 lbs. per acre in 3-foot drills when land is warm. 
SESBANIA 
Excellent for quail and soil improving. It av¬ 
eraged 6 tons of hay per acre and more seed than 
any other crop in the Georgia 5-year test. 
GAME BIRDS are attracted from a distance by 
the seed which remains on the ground all winter 
without decaying. It makes a tall upright growth 
L with long, slender leaves, furnishing good bird 
cover, but easy for hunters to penetrate. Every 
farmer who likes bird hunting and every game 
preserve should plant it, preferably on rich bot¬ 
toms. Broadcast 15 to 30 pounds per acre in the 
spring. 
SESBANIA is easily destroyed by cultivation. 
Does well on any soil, wet or dry, but prefers 
heavy bottom land. Plant only scarified seed. 
Clover lightly if convenient. Apply 100 lbs. per 
acre of WOOD’S SUPER STANDARD FERTI¬ 
LIZER. Our seed is of the highest quality and 
scarified. 
Tennessee 
German Millet 
SOIIi IMPROVING. It produces an immense 
amount of humus rich in nitrogen for building up 
cultivated or waste land. Sown at the last cultivation of 
corn, cotton, etc., it grows 6 to 7 feet tall in 8 to 10 weeks. 
Roots have heavy nodule formations. Stalks decay readily. 
Popular with truck farmers and citrus growers. Sow 30 
to 40 lbs. per acre from April 15th to July 15th. 
FLORIDA BEGGAR WEED 
Produces a large quantity of rich nourishing seeds that 
remain on the hush or ground all winter without decaying, 
and is relished by game birds. Makes an upright growth, 
6 to 7 feet tall, furnishing ideal cover for birds. Excellent 
for hay or pasture; relished by livestock. It averaged over 
7 tons of hay per acre in the 5-year Georgia test; rich in 
protein and more fattening than alfalfa or cow peas. A 
wonderful nitrogen gathering soil builder, thriving well 
on thin, sandy land and pine barrens. A fine legume cover 
crop for orchards. Sow after frost 3 to 5 lbs. per acre in 
3-foot drills or 12 to 15 lbs. broadcast. Inoculate with 
Nitragin E. 
TENNESSEE GERMAN MILLET 
Big head, large yielding type. Makes a bumper crop of 
nutritious, easily cured hay in 60 days. Our seed is Ten¬ 
nessee grown. We have tested German millets grown in 
other states but none is equal to Tennessee seed in growth 
or quality, they usually have very small woody stalks, un¬ 
suitable for hay. One of the easiest grown summer catch crops 
when feed is short. It smothers out weeds, leaving ground in fine 
condition for fall crops. 
P LANT one bushel per acre broadcast on disked or harrowed 
wheat or oat land from May throu gh July. (B ushel=50 lbs.) 
Apply 300 lbs. per acre of WOOD’S. 
SUPER STANDARD FERTILIZER. 
Thin seeding makes coarse stems 
and poor quality hay. Broadcasting 
25 lbs. with a bushel of cow peas 
produces a higher yield of more nu¬ 
tritious hay and is better for the 
land. Cut when the millet bloora.3. 
After that woody fibre forms, mak¬ 
ing the hay coarse and unpalatable. 
JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT 
Most prolific and largest grained 
buckwheat. A good summer poor 
land crop. No grain crop can be 
grown easier or in less time, matur¬ 
ing in 8 to 10 weeks. A good summer 
soil improving crop for orchards or 
to smother weeds before seeding 
grass. Its flour makes delicious 
cakes. Bees give more honey when 
fed on its blooms. Requires little 
preparation. Sow 50 lbs. per acre 
broadcast or with grain drill from 
June through August. Bushel 48 lbs.
