OATS 
BURT, OR 90-DAY —The most popular Oat for Spring sow¬ 
ing, 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 sat¬ 
isfactory 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.

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 
Billion-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 abun¬ 
dant 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 the acre, or if broadcast, about 25 lbs.

out weeds; also splendid for poultry. Sow 50 pounds to
