GERMAN MILLET. We secure our Big German Millet 
seed only from the section that produces Big Type German 
Millet. The best of the millets, it is very prolific and pro- 
duces an abundance of good hay when cut in the bloom 
stage. Makes a good catch crop following wheat or oats 
and its quick growth insures you of a large quantity of 
sweet, palatable and milk-producing hay. Is sometimes 
sown with early cowpeas at the rate of three pecks of 
millet to a bushel of cowpeas. Be sure to get the true 
type Big German Millet as it is not to be compared to 
other varieties. 
“KOREAN LESPEDEZA. The finest of legumes for re- 
claiming worn out soil. A good drought resistant; it has 
won the distinction of being the best Summer Legume 
pasture which so far has been introduced in this country. 
It will stand heavy grazing from early summer until killed 
by frost. Is ideal in permanent pasture mixtures with

Blue Grass, Orchard Grass or Red Top, Alsike and White 
Clover, and matures before smothering out of the fall 
grasses. Makes an excellent hay, comparing favorably 
with Alfalfa in feeding value. No preparation of the seed- 
bed is necessary; it is adapted to any soil, and is at its 
best when other grasses and clovers are dormant. Sow 
20 to 25 pounds per acre alone, or 10 pounds per acre in 
pasture mixtures. Although an annual it reseeds itself 
where seed is allowed to mature. 
ATLAS SORGO. Produced more grain and forage in 1939 
than any other sorghum. Many crops produced 10 to 20 
tons per acre. The most popular of the grain sorghums. 
It is an enormous yielder of both forage and grain. The 
stalk and branches are both sweet and the grain is the 
most palatable of all the sorghums. It is the most valua- 
ble grain sorghum to grow because of its drought resist- 
ing qualities. 
CRIMSON CLOVER. Sow 20 pounds per acre. Makes 
an excellent green grazing crop during the winter and 
early spring. Very practical to sow with the fall seeding 
grains and is a splendid soil improving crop. 
SUDAN GRASS. A quick growing summer hay grass, often 
yielding two or three cuttings a season. The entire plant 
is eaten by stock and well liked. More and finer hay is se- 
cured when the seed is sown broadcast and often produces 
four tons or more to the acre. AS an emergency pasture 
crop Sudan Grass has few equals. Also used as an ensilage 
and has about an equal value to corn silage. It is a very 
good drought resistant. Should be sown about two weeks 
after corn planting time, but can be sown up to the first 
week in July.
