Wood's Quail Planting 
Mixture 
Plant it to produce permanent 
year round feed for partridges, 
wild turkeys, pheasants, doves, 
etc. Also to cut down the feed bill ¢ 
of domestic fowls. For quail 
‘lant in long strips next to cov- 
er (to attract and multiply 
f coveys); for turkeys and pheas- 
strips or patches; for doves, one to two- 
acre plots. The mixture includes practically all 
cultivated crops relished by game birds for quick ¢ 
growth and to keep them in plump, vigorous con- * 
dition. Composed of sesbania, bene, Florida beg- 
garweed, brown top and Tennessee millet, alyce clo- 
ver, sericea and Korean lespedezas, cow peas, la- 
redo soy beans, Shallu, kaffir corn, sudan grass, 
sorghum and buckwheat. Sow 15 lbs. per acre in 
cultivated rows, or 30 lbs. broadcast after the 
ground warms in early summer. Apply 300 lbs. per acre 
of WOOD’S STANDARD 4-12-4 FERTILIZER. Will re- 
seed itself, furnishing a permanent growth, but it is 
better to disk, harrow and sow every year. The legumes 
in this mixture will enrich the soil. Richard Eppes, Mar- 
tin Co., N. C., says: “It is the finest seed for partridges. 
I planted it in long strips near cover and it attracted and 
multiplied twice as many coveys as I ever had before. 
I will plant it every season.” 
W. H. Budd, Montgomery Co., Md., says: “Heavy snow 
starved most of the quail in my section, but Wood’s Quail 
Planting Mixture, dropped in the snow, fed my birds all 
inte I counted 19 coveys in a 20-foot strip 1,100 feet 
ong.” 
Kress Plantation: Beaufort Co., S. C., says: ‘““Wood’s 
Quail Planting Mixture has done extremely well. We in- 
tend using a lot of it in our bird gardens next year.” 
Virginia Superintendent of Game Propagation says: 
“Any farm can be economically stocked with quail, wild 
turkey and other game birds if suitable food in variety 
and abundance is furnished adjacent to nesting and pro- 
tective cover. Food patches planted in open fields more 
than 100 feet from cover are little used by quail. Farms 
so intensively cultivated or pastured that there is no 
cover, or farms with ample cover, but no food, cannot 
have quail. Planting only one crop like cow peas will not 



kinds of foods to furnish year round nourishment is 
necessary, Planting long strips, 10 to 40 feet wide beside woods, 
branch or fence rows will furnish food and cover for many more 
coveys than planting the same area in one or two-acre plots every 
half mile or so. 
On large areas plant a network of cultivated strips; disk and 
broadcast the quail planting mixture and cover lightly with a har- 
row; or plant in rows as close as possible and cultivate once or 
twice. Apply fertilizer. Plant also in several of the outside rows 
of a cultivated crop, like corn, cotton, etc., either when the crop is 
planted or laid by. In early spring broadcast on small grain and 
harrow in lightly. Let brush and thickets grow alongside. When 
brush is cut leave it on the ground for cover. Spread old straw or 
other fodder on top of seed on poor, barren ground.” 
Bene —Produces an enormous amount of nutritious fattening 
seeds loved by game birds and poultry. It made 975 lbs. of 
seed per acre in a Georgia planting. Adapted to most all soils, 
produces an upright growth about 5 feet tall, covered in the fall 
with long okra-like pods. These gradually open all winter, drop- 
ping the seeds which attract quail and other game birds. Drill 
5 lbs. per acre in 2% to 8-foot rows and cultivate; or broadcast 
15 lbs. per acre.

Wood’s Game Bird Scatter Food Teen Wee 
your farm by scattering it regularly near brush or other cover 
during cold months when food is scarce. Our formula was pre- 
pared by a high authority on game bird feeding. Composed of 
cracked grain and seed they love. 
JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT —A g00d summer poor land 
or soil improving crop to 
smother weeds, or for bees. No grain crop can be grown easier 
or in less time, maturing in two months. Its flour makes delicious 
cakes. June through August broadcast 50 lbs. per acre.

; SESBANIA 
Excellent for quail, duck marshes, and soil im- 
proving. It produced an abundance of seed in 
the Georgia 5-year test, 1,166 lbs. per acre in one 
test. GAME BIRDS are attracted from a distance 
by the seed which remains on the ground all win- 
ter without decaying. It makes a tall upright 
growth with long, slender leaves, furnishing good 
bird cover. Every farmer who likes bird hunting 
and every game preserve should plant it, pref- 
, erably in rich bottoms. Broadcast 25 lbs. per acre 
from April to July. Does well on any soil, wet or 
dry. Plant only searified seed. Ours is of the high- 
est quality and scarified. Be sure to inoculate. 
SOIL IMPROVING. It produces an immense 
amount of humus rich in nitrogen for building up 
waste land, Sown at the last cultivation of corn, 
cotton, etc., it grows 6 to 7 feet tall in 8 to 10 
weeks. Roots have heavy nodule formations. 
Stalks decay readily. Popular with truck growers. 
FLORIDA BEGGAR WEED 
Produces a large quantity of rich nourishing seeds that 
remain on the bush or ground all winter without decaying, 
and is relished by game birds. Makes an upright growth, 
6 to 7 feet tall, furnishing ideal cover for birds. Excellent 
for hay or pasture; relished by livestock. It averaged over 
7 tons of hay per acre in the 5-year Georgia test; rich in 
protein and more fattening than alfalfa or cow peas. A 
wonderful nitrogen gathering soil builder, thriving well 
on thin, sandy land and pine barrens. A fine legume cover 
erop for orchards. Resistant to wilt; does not require lime. 
Sow after frost 3 to 5 lbs. per acre in 3-foot drills or 12 to 
15 lbs. broadcast. Inoculate. 
TENNESSEE GERMAN MILLET 
Big head, large yielding type. Makes a bumper crop of 
easily cured hay in 60 days. Our seed is Tennessee grown. 
We have tested German millets grown in other states but 
none is equal to Tennessee seed in growth or quality; they 
usually have very small woody stalks, unsuitable for hay. 
One of the easiest grown summer catch crops when feed is 
short. It smothers out weeds, leaving ground in fine con- 
dition for fall crops. Drill 50 lbs. per acre on harrowed 
wheat or oat land from May through July. Apply 800 lbs. 
per acre of WOOD’S STANDARD 4-12-4 FERTILIZER. 
Thin seeding makes coarse stems and poor quality hay. 
Broadcasting 25 lbs. with a bushel of cow peas produces a 
higher yield of more nutritious hay and is better for the 
forms, making the hay coarse and unpalatable, 
PEARL OR CATTAIL MILLET —Crows 10 to 12 feet tall. 
For greatest amount of 
nutritious green feed or hay cut at 8 to 4 feet. Stools out luxuri- 
antly; gives 8 or 4 cuttings a season, 
growing till frost. It does well even 
on poor land and in dry seasons. Al] 
stock eat it greedily and flourish on 
it. Plant 8 lbs. per acre in 8-foot 
drills when land is warm, near the 
feeding lot and cut some daily. 
BROWN TOP MILLET 
Seed relished by quail and turkeys. 
Excellent bird cover. Will draw 
doves for many miles. Similar to 
Tennessee millet, but is taller, has 
larger heads, and produces more 
seed, hay and grazing. Can be grazed 
constantly in dry summers, starting 
when 8 or 4 inches tall, one plant 
stooling out about 30 stems and is 
relished by poultry and all livestock. 
Furnishes more hay than Sudan 
grass, equal to timothy in feeding 
value, allows several cuttings, yield- 
ing 5 or 6 tons per acre. Broadcast 
20 lbs. per acre from April to July.
