A Forage Crop You Should Know Better 
You have probably heard about Cane most of your life, but do you know what it 
can do for you? It is one of the heaviest producing crops you can grow. Will pro¬ 
duce 30,000 lbs. to 40,000 lbs. of green feed per acre. Seed production may vary from 
30 bushels to 50 bushels to the acre with some reporting 60 bushels. Study these fig¬ 
ures. Consider what an enormous production that is. 
OfVioi* Cane roots deeply. For that reason it 
V alUaUlc \,^naraCLcriSllCS make a better crop on poor land than 
corn. It sets at plant food that corn cannot reach. Its deep roots also make it a better drought 
resister, having a wonderful capacity in that resjiect. It withstands the onslaught of hot winds 
better. Cane is also alkaline resistant and a good crop for such land. Cane does not remove as 
much plant food proportionately as small grain. 
WHITE WONDER 
TYPE 
A long headed, heavy producing, early maturing variety. 
This is a very fine type of Millet preferred by some over all 
others. The foliage is very heavy which accounts for its big 
yields. The long heads make prolific seed yields. It is a 
top-notcher in yield of hay and seed. Leaves fairly broad. 
Cures readily. Seed light colored. A trial of this variety 
will prove its superior worth. Our seed quality is very* fine.

This Is the German Type Millet 
The German Type or Golden Millet is a truly remarkable crop. This Millet is an enormous 
yielder both of hay and seed. Its tall dense growth affords a lot of fine feed in a short time. 
The crop is quick growing and a great drought resister. Seed yields run 40 to 50 bushels per 
acre. Can be sown as late as in July and makes a fine crop. This fine leafy crop is cer¬ 
tainly a great help to any farmer caught short on feed. 
Heavy producing stock is generally sold at iiremium prices. You will find our quotations 
on page 32 unusual.y attractive. This seed is cleaned and graded. For feed or seed produc¬ 
tion our German Millet is a winner. Order your seed early and get the choicest stock.

Earlier than the German but not quite as 
early as Siberian. Very leafy and makes a 
good production of fine quality hay. Stools 
freely. This variety is widely grown. On 
account of its earliness it is especially good 
for northern states but its use is by no 
means confined to that section. In some 
places it is called Hungarian 
Grass. Seed runs mixed col¬ 
ors purple and golden. The 
use of this variety is in¬ 
creasing. Our seed is clean, 
bright, stock and we are 
pricing it very low. See

PROSO 
or Hog Millet 
This variety is a big seed pro¬ 
ducing Millet. It is not as good 
a hay variety as the others. The 
seed is considerably larger and 
is grown chiefly for seed. This 
is used in feeds of different 
kinds. Equal to small grains in 
fattening value for hogs. Poul¬ 
try men have been praising its value 
highly, and tliey are largely re¬ 
sponsible for the great interest in 
this crop, in the past few years. 
CHARACTERISTICS 
Proso Millet is one of the earliest 
maturing varieties, requiring about 
G5 to 75 days. Don’t sow too early. 
It is partial to warm seed bed. 
Production 55 to 70 bushels of seed 
per acre is not uncommon. If small 
grain fails or you want a good cash 
catch crop, sow Proso.

How to Use Cane 
Amber Cane Type 
Orange Cane Type 
For hay use 1 bushel to 1% bushels per 
acre. The heavier seeding will not yield 
more but makes finer hay. For pasture an even heavier seeding is recom¬ 
mended. When used for fodder a lighter seeding rate is used depending 
upon the distance between the rows. Plow deeply for cane. Pulverize 
the seed bed well. Do not plant imtil after corn planting. Seed bed 
and weather must be warm. 
The earliest variety. Grown from Maine 
to California. Has slender stalks and 
nil n ow leaves. Suitable anywhere. We recommend it highly and should 
he selected by all nortiiern customers. 
Somewhat later. More abundant leaves 
which are broader and stalks and seed 
head.s heavier. On account of somewhat heavier yields is a favorite in 
the corn belt where a later cane is used. 
Little Genesee, N. Y. 
Gentlemen: I just harvested 6 acres of new 
seeding that I seeded with your Alsike, Red Clover 
and Timothy seed. I got 20 tons of nice hay off 
of the 6 acres, and I have 6 acres more to cut of 
^ it and it is as good. It is the best seed I ever 
bought. C. C. Giddings. 
Winslow, Ill. 
Gentlemen: I have been getting seed of your 
Company for the past several years, and think it 
is fine. Have been telling my neighbors and 
friends about your seeds. Below are some of their 
names. Yours very truly,
