Millet Is An Excellent Catch Crop 
Disco Millets 
All millets require a rich, mellow soil, as the roots 
penetrate only a few inches under the surface, and 
they should have a rather heavy clay loam that will 
hold moisture close to the surface. 
Use any of the millets as a catch crop after early 
maturing small grain crops. We suggest that you 
double disk and d'rill in your seed in the dry dis¬ 
tricts. We advise sowing millet any time after the 
soil is warm until the first of August. 
VOEONEZH “BliAOK PROSO MILLET*’— Vor¬ 
onezh (Black Proso) Millet originated from the 
province Voronezh in Russia. It was from there 
that Mr. M. A. Carleton of the U. S. Department 
of Agriculture received a quantity of this Millet, 
and for that reason gave it the name Voronezh. 
Voronezh Millet should be sown at the same 
time as other Proso Millets, care being taken not 
to plant too early in the Spring. It is very 
drought resistant and grows from 36 to 54 inches 
tall. The seed grows pretty well to the tup in the 
same manner as Early Fortune Millet does. 
We can offer only a limited supply of Voronezh 
Millet seed this Spring, so we suggest that you 
get your orders in early. 
GERMAN MILLET —The most popular millet on 
the market, has great stooling habits, and is very 
leafy and bushy, grows 3 to 4 feet high, one of 
the best millets for hay, and should be cut when 
in full bloom. Will make a crop in two months. 
Protect your hay requirements this year by put¬ 
ting in an adequate acreage of German millet. 
Sow 25 pounds per acre. 
HUNGARIAN MILLET— This variety is highly re¬ 
garded for hay purposes, and is one of the heaviest 
yielders of all millets, is drouth resistant, and 
will do its best in cool northern climates, is con¬ 
sidered equal to any millet in feed value, grows 
4 to 5 feet tall. Convince yourself by giving it 
a trial. Sow broadcast 30 pounds to the acre. 
Voronezh Black Proso Millet 
SIBERIAN MILLET —A very fine millet. Unus¬ 
ually early, extremely hardy and withstands 
drouth. The plant shows remarkable stooling 
habits, and is a good producer. Sow 30 pounds 
to the acre. 
JAPANESE —Justly called Billion Dollar grass. 
Will grow from 6 to 9 feet tall. Stands up re¬ 
markably well and yields enormous crops. The 
hay is tender and highly relished, and in nutri¬ 
tive value exceeds most canes and millets. Ex¬ 
cellent for working horses. Sow 20 pounds to 
the acre. 
HOG or BROOM CORN WHITE PROSO— Grows 
from 18 inches to 36 inches. Yields an unusually 
heavy crop of seed from 60 to 70 bushels per 
acre. The seed will mature and be ready to har¬ 
vest about two months after the date of seeding. 
For hay purposes use from 30 to 40 pounds, and 
for seed from 8 to 12 pounds per acre. 
EARLY FORTUNE RED PROSO —^Is the same type 
as white proso except that the color of the seed 
is red. Sow the same amounts as proso millet.

Dwarf Essex Rape 
The Finest Investment in Agriculture 
It is considered a valuable feed crop for young 
stock, as rape contains the necessary elements which 
will give them proper growth. It is so reasonable 
in price that the money you invest in the price of 
the seed will be paid back many times. All sheep 
raisers know its value and they would not under¬ 
take to raise sheep without an adequate acreage 
of rape. It is also relished very much by cattle 
and hogs. Calves and young pigs show a marked 
increase in weight and growth when pastured on 
rape. Sow from April to August, 6 to 7 pounds 
per acre. 
DISCO IMPROVED SEED GRAINS 
If you are in the market for new strains of Seed 
Grain, it will pay you to write us, as we are in close 
touch with some of the best growers of wheat, oats, 
barley, rye, speltz, fl.ax, buckwheat, sunflower, etc. 
All seed grains put out by us are thoroughly re¬

CHEYENNE KAFFIR 
Sametimes Called Sweet-Stalked Kaffir, Has a Sweet 
Stalk and also Produces Grain 
A combination of grain and forage crop. Will 
grow between 5 and 5^ feet tall, producing a heavy 
crop of forage and seed. Matures in about 90 days 
in an average season. 
The fodder has a sweet stalk, enabling the grower 
to have a fine lot of feed even if the seed is not 
produced. The value of the seed is nearly the feed¬ 
ing value of grain sorghums. 
Three Heads of Certified Sooner Milo. See Page 28. 
This variety seems to possess unusual drought 
resisting properties, and has succeeded and^ pro¬ 
duced a fair crop where other usually good varieties 
have failed. We recommend the use of this variety 
in your program as a protection or insurance against 
complete crop failure. The technical description of 
the variety is as follows: “Stalks tall to medium, 
slender, semi-sweet, acid to sweet, long narrow 
leaves, heads semi-compact, seeds chalky to cream 
colored and semi-small in size.
