“JAPANESE” MILLET 
Known as the “Million-Dollar Grass." 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 2 bushel per acre 
(32 pounds per bushel). 
“GOLDEN” MILLET 
In Pennsylvania yields a heavy crop in from seven 
to nine weeks. Makes satisfactory hay of leafy 
character. Sow 3 pecks per acre. 48 lbs. to bu. 
“HUNGARIAN” MILLET 
Preferred by many farmers because of its de- 
pendability under northern conditions. 48 lbs. to bu. 
“HOG” MILLET 
(Sometimes called Broom-Corn Millet) 
Large, heavy-growing type. May be used in silage. 
Seed yield is heavy, has reached 50 to 60 bushels 
per acre. Seed has been fed to hogs and young 
cattle with satisfactory results. Got its name be- 
cause seed was thought so well adapted for feed- 
ing hogs. Seed makes good poultry food, too. 
“KOREAN” LESPEDEZA 
Thrives on lands too poor for other Clovers. Popu- 
lar from Maryland south as soil enricher. An 
annual legume, killed by frost, but often reseeds 
itself. Great drought resister. Has produced heavy 
tonnages in South. Sow 20 to 25 pounds per acre. 
Be sure to inoculate. 
““SERICEA” LESPEDEZA 
Perennial strain of ‘‘Lespedeza” yielding finer hay. 
Taller. Not only thrives on poor soils and in dry 
seasons. Cuts reseeding cost. Lasts several 
seasons, 
COW HORN TURNIP 
Improves soil and provides forage tops relished by 
sheep, hogs and poultry, when sown in corn fields. 
Turnips penetrate deeply, bring fertility to surface 
and add humus to soil. Sow 2 to 4 pounds per acre. 
HOG PASTURE MIXTURE 
For 11 Weeks’ Hog Pasture at Low Cost 
Quickest growing green hog-feed mixture—often 
ready in four weeks. Valuable as an emergency 
pasturage when other earlier crops have failed. 
Grows until frost, but will not winter. An abundant 
producer of flesh and fat, also of wool. For cattle, 
cut and haul to barn to prevent trampling. Second 
growth will then appear. Plant 70 pounds per acre, 
broadcast or with seeder, between June and 
August 1. Then harrow in.

ATLAS SORGO 
Recently very popular in Hoffman territory. Makes 
strong stalks that don't lodge easily, like most all 
other tall types do. Sweet juicy stalks combine 
the desired qualities of a sweet forage Sorghum 
with strong stalks . . . and with seeds that may 
very readily be used as a grain feed. 
Plants are about ¥2 inch thick and grow 7 to 10 
feet high. Harvest when the seeds are in the hard- 
dough stage, using either a field ensilage cutter 
or a corn-row binder. Unless dry, seed shallow. 
Use corn planter with Sorghum seed plates avail- 
able from planter manufacturer. Cultivate same 
as corn. 
Atlas Sorgo plants show a remarkable ability to 
remain green but dormant through long periods 
of drought, and then resume growing when rains 
occur. 
GRAIN SORGHUM (NON-SACCHARINE) 
Well worthy of consideration. Kaffir, Milo, Hegari 
and Feterita yield heavily in both forage and grass. 
The whole plant may be fed, either green, cured 
or ensiled. Unthreshed heads may be fed whole 
or ground—or threshed and the grain fed 
separately. Analyses of the grain indicate they 
are very similar to Corn in composition. Corn, 
however, contains more fat. Some Sorghums are 
high in protein. Amount of carbohydrates in the 
two crops is practically equal. 
SORGHUM CANE (SACCHARINE) 
These canes carry a sugar content and are valuable 
for cattle feed as green forage and as ensilage. 
Hoffman offerings may consist of the Amber and 
(or) Orange type of Sorghum. See price list. 
COW PEAS 
Fine for pasturage or hay, turning under or hog- 
ging down, on poor soil. Best in South, since Cow 
Peas dare not be planted early. Handle like Soy 
Beans. Inoculate. For Hay or green feed, sow 1 
bushel with 3 pecks Golden Millet to the acre, 
cutting when in bloom.
