Note this thick, heavy stand

soil im-

its a wonderful 
prover.

corn.”—Parke Eckman, Lan- 
caster, Pa. 
Before so long, farmers 
will have plenty of manure 
to scatter on the land. Add- 
ing 50 to 100 pounds of 
phosphate fertilizer to each 
load is an efficient way of 
applying a complete ferti- 
lizer to the soil. 
“GOLDEN” MILLET 
In Pennsylvania yields a heavy crop in from seven to nine 
weeks. Makes satisfactory hay of leafy character. Sow about 
3 pecks of seed per acre. 48 pounds is sold as a bushel. 
“HUNGARIAN” MILLET 
Preferred by many farmers because of its dependability under 
Northern growing conditions. 48 pounds to bushel. 
“JAPANESE” MILLET 
Known as the “Million-Dollar Grass” because it yields so 
heavily. Has made up to 20 tons per acre. A tall variety. 
Thrives on poor soil. Valuable hay. For green feeding, cut 
just before seed heads appear. Sow ¥4 bu. per acre (32 Ibs. 
per bu.). Cover seed well. 
HALF A BUSHEL OF MILLET WITH 
BUSHEL OF COW PEAS 
This mixture, sown in the above proportions and amount per 
acre, makes a fine hay or green feed combination. 
The Millet grows fast, gives heavy crop even on poor land. 
Sow in June or July and cut hay when seed heads show on 
about one-third of plants, before seeds harden or growth gets 
woody. 
**KOREAN LESPEDEZA”’ 
Thrives on lands too poor for other clovers. Popular from 
Maryland south as soil enricher. An annual legume, killed by 
frost, but often reseeds itself. Great drought resister. Under 
favorable conditions in the South has produced heavy tonnages. 
Sow 20 to 25 Ibs. per acre. Be sure to inoculate the seed. 
*““SERICEA” LESPEDEZA 
Perennial strain of ‘‘Lespedeza’’ yielding finer hay. Taller. Not 
only thrives on poor soils and in dry seasons, but eliminates 
cost of reseeding because it lasts several seasons. 
“CRIMSON” (SCARLET) CLOVER 
One of the most valuable winter cover crops, planted after 
other crops mature. One user claims it “equal to 20 loads of 
manure per acre.”” Grows on soil too poor for red clover. Pro- 
vides abundant water and spring pasturage, fine in orchards 
or cornfields. 
Be sure to inoculate, and it will gather great nodules of soil- 
enriching, nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Seed 20 Ibs. per acre middle 
of June to late August, not too far North. Matures following 
June. Best south of Pennsylvania, although successfully used 
in Southern Ohio, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. By using 
plenty of good seed, inoculating and covering properly, Crim- 
son Clover has often rewarded its users with good soil-enriching 
stands.
