BIG GERMAN. The favorite Millet of Texas, 
on account of its large yield; on good land, 
with a favorable season, five tons to the acre 
being not uncommon; makes lots of leaves. 
To make the best hay it should be cut green, 
when heads are in full bloom; if wanted for 
seed, must be allowed to ripen. Should not be 
sown before April, when ground gets warm. 
Three pecks will sow an acre. Lb., 20c; 10 
lbs., $1.25, postpaid. 
Winter Barley 
WINTER BEARDED BARLEY. Barley is much 
sought after for its splendid hog feeding qual¬ 
ities. In some sections it is used almost en¬ 
tirely for horses and mules. We use the utmost 
caution in selecting our seed, as some vari¬ 
eties are hard to secure. Makes excellent win¬ 
ter grazing. Yields 50 to 75 bushels of grain 
per acre. This is the only Barley that will 
successfully stand a hard freeze. Lb., 15c; 10 
lbs., $1 00, postpaid. 
Staffers Drought Resister 
For many years we have seen the need of 
a Native White Drought-Resisting variety. We 
are glad to announce to our customers that 
we now have a Pedigreed Drought-Resisting 
White Seed Corn. The easiest and cheapest 
way to increase your yield per acre is to 
plant better seed. STAFFEL'S DROUGHT-RE¬ 
SISTER is a New Name but is not a New 
Strain of Corn. It is an early maturing, drought- 
resisting, Native White Corn that has been 
bred for many years to meet Texas conditions. 
Some farmers try to get early maturity by 
using northern grown seed, but this practice 
almost always results in disappointment, as 
nor.hern varieties are not adapted to south¬ 
ern conditions. Lb., 20c; pk., 75c, postpaid.

GOLDEN THOMAS. This variety is well 
suited to Southwest Texas, especially around 
Beeville, Corpus Christi, and San Antonio. It
