MILLETS 
These are quick-growing annual grasses, adapted 
to a wide range of soils and climates, but requiring 
a good supply of moisture at the start and warm 
weather throughout their short growing seasons. 
German Millet. Also called Golden Millet. 
Stems heavier, leaves broader and coarser than 
common Millet. Requires a slightly longer and 
warmer growing season and a mellower soil. Ready 
to cut in about 65 days. Weight 48 lbs. per bushel. 
Sow 25 to 40 lbs. per acre. 
Hungarian Millet. Sometimes incorrectly called 
“Hungarian Grass.” An early variety. The hay 
is of excellent quality and the yield, under good 
conditions, averages 2 to 2tons per acre, ranking 
second in this respect to German Millet. Weight 
48 lbs. per bushel. Sow 25 to 40 lbs. per acre. 
Japanese Millet. It is rather coarse and suc¬ 
culent. which makes it difficult to cure for hay and 
it is not recommended for that purpose. It makes 
the best silage and green forage of any of the 
Millets. For green feed, cut just before the heads 
appear. For ensilage, cut in late bloom or when 
the seed is beginning to form. Weight 32 lbs. to 
bushel. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre.

ing, used mostly for cover crop. Weight 48 lbs.

Oats—Swedish Select. Large, plump, white 
kernels, with thin hulls, grows well on light soils 
and stands considerable drought, earliest of the 
heavy yielding sorts. Weight 32 lbs. per bu. Sow 
2 bu. per acre.
