GERMAN MILLET 
Big head, large yielding type. Makes a bumper crop of easily cured 
hay in 60 days. One of the easiest grown summer catch crops when 
feed is short. It smothers out weeds, leaving ground in fine condition 
for fall crops. Drill 50 lbs. per acre on harrowed wheat or oat land from 
May through July. Apply 300 lbs. per acre of 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 land. Cut when the millet blooms. After that 
woody fibre forms, making the hay coarse and unpalatable. 
PEARL, or CAT-TAIL MILLET 
Also called Pencillaria 
If allowed to attain its full height Pearl Millet will grow 10 to 12 feet 
high, but for the greatest amount of green feed it should be cut when 
3 to 4 feet high. It will then stool out enormously, and during warm 
weather will grow with wonderful luxuriance, give three or four cut- 
tings a season, and keeps on growing right up to frost. It does well even 
on poor land, and Surprisingly well in dry seasons. All kinds of stock 
eat it greedily and flourish on it; it is highly nutritious. It is a warm 
weather plant, and should not be planted till the ground is thoroughly 
warm, otherwise the seeds will not germinate, Plant 5 lbs. to the acre 
in drills 3 feet apart. Crop very short this season. 
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER 
A good grain crop for poultry or green feed for hogs. Makes more 
ensilage than corn. A profitable cash crop as it yields 1,000 to 1,500 
pounds per acre of seed rich in oil and protein, Plant and cultivate like 
corn in 2%-foot rows. For feed or silage, plant 15 to 20 pounds per 
acre; for seed production 8 pounds, planting a foot apart in the row, 
When ripe, cut off the heads. Pile loosely under cover, 
BROOM CORN 
Easily grown on any corn land. Plant 6 lbs. per acre on a fine seed 
bed, 1 inch deep, in 3% foot rows, when ground is warm. Thin out to 4 
inches; cultivate regularly; harvest before seeds fill out; thresh im- 
mediately, place on racks in a shed to cure, which requires 20 days. 
EARLY JAPANESE—Best for the North. Ready to cut 10 to 15 days 
earlier and makes a finer and heavier brush. Grows 6% to 7 feet tall. 
Produces a green colored brush if cut early. Suitable for parlor brooms, 
and generally sells for more than other varieties. 
STANDARD EVERGREEN—Grows 8 to 10 feet tall. 
heavy brush, free from heavy center stems and crooked 
to cut in 90 to 100 days. Best for the South. 
TEOSINTE 
Fast growing and heavy yielding forage plant. Nutritious green feed, 
containing 10% sugar, greedily eaten by all livestock. One seed grows 
30 or more stalks, 10 to 12 feet tall. Cut when 4 or 5 feet high, it im- 
mediately starts growing and is ready to cut again in a few weeks. 
It can be cut 5 times a season. By planting several rows and cutting 
part each day a continuous supply of nutritious feed can be had right 
up to frost. Adapted to any soil, but does best on rich ground well ma- 
nured. Resembles corn, but leaves are longer, broader, closer together 
and grows taller and more rapidly. Makes spelndid silage. Plant 2 to 
3 pounds per acre in May or June in 3% foot rows. Postpaid, oz. 10c; 
% Ib. 20c. Other prices below. 
SESBANIA 
Excellent for quail, duck marshes, and soil improving. 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 winter 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, preferably in rich bottoms. Broadcast 25 lbs. per acre from 
April to July. Does well on any soil, wet or dry. Plant only scarified 
seed. Ours is of the highest 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.
