Plant PROSO for Lower Feed Costs 
For Poultry, Hogs, 
Cattle and Sheep 
WHY YOU SHOULD 
PLANT PROSO: 
Matures in 60 days. 
Grows most anywhere. 
Can be planted late. 
A most profitable 
Under favorable climatic and soil conditions, Proso plants gen- 
erally reach a height of from 8 to 4 ft., stools and branches, 
and have been found to make from 15 to 25 heads (in place of only 
a few). A single head has produced as many as 1185 seeds. 
That is why it seems to yield large crops from unbelievably 
small plots of ground. One authority claims that a half pound 
of seed, with good conditions, should produce from 5 to 10 bu. 
of Proso. Although it originated in Russia, Proso does even 
better—seems to grow faster and matures more readily under 
many of our U. S. A. conditions. See letters below from 
northern states (Minn., Maine, Mont.). Reports seem to prove

crop. May be planted in high or dry soil or even in ground 
that has been drowned out and is not in shape to work until 
late in the season. Proso has been successfully planted in 
acid and soils not so suitable to some other grain crops. Espe-
