Field Corn, King Phillip Hybrid 
GRAIN SCRGHUMS 
DWARF RED MILO 
This type of Milo is planted on the smaller 
acieages where hand-cutting is necessary. 
It grows to a height of 4 to 5 feet. Produces 
3 to 4 thousand pounds grain per acre. Plant 
3 to 6 pounds of seed per acre. 
DOUBLE DWARF RED MILO . 
This variety was developed for large scale 
production in California. Growing to a uni- 
form height of 2 to 3 feet, it can be harvested 
with the ordinary combined harvester. It is 
a heavy producer and under good conditions 
three tons of grain per 
will yield two or 
acre. 
DWARF EGYPTIAN CORN

season crop than the Red Milo. Suitable for 
is a shorter 
late plantings or under conditions of limited 
moisture. This dwarf type may be harvested

SUNFLOWER 
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN 
Heavy producer of forage and seed. 
Of value for silage and seed produc- 
tion. Plant 10 pounds per acre. 
FIELD PEAS 
AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS 
Here is the ideal forage legume for 
hay ensilage or for pasture. Austrian 
Winter Peas under many conditions 
will outyield vetches. The vines and 
pods are almost as large and heavy 
as garden peas. The vines are relished 
by all kinds of stock. Plant in the fall 
for best results. Will not winter kill. 
Does well under irrigation, and in rela- 
tively humid sections. Very hardy. 
Grown extensively for seed and cover 
crop. Saw 75 to 90 pounds per acre 
when seeded alone; when seeded in 
companionship with a winter grain 60 
to 75 pounds per acre. 
CANADIAN 
This legume haus the distinct advantage of 
being suitable to late planting. Canadian Field 
Peas produce excellent forage. May be used 
for summer areen manure crop. Requires con- 
siderable moisture. Sow 120 to 150 pounds per 
a VETCH 
SOW 40 TO 60 POUNDS PER ACRE 
COMMON VETCH 
Valuable for forage and green manure. As 
a hay crop it is generally sown with oats or 
wheat to afford support for the vines.. Usually 
sown in the fall. - 
HAIRY VETCH 
Thrives on all soils. Makes a better growth 
during the cold season than the other varie- 
ties. Has a very wide adaptability. 
HUNGARIAN 
Finer stemmed and leafier than most forage 
vetches. Suitable to various types of.soils. Re- 
sistant to aphid attacks. 
PURPLE VETCH 
Adapted to the same soil conditions as Com- 
mon Vetch. Makes a better growth during the 
cold winter months. An excellent variety for 
orchard cover crops or as a hay crop in com- 
bination with oats. 
WILLAMETTE VETCH 
An improved variety of the Common Vetch, 
well adapted to interior valley conditions in 
California. The winter hardiness and adapta- 
bility to many types of soil make this the 
best Vetch for either cover crops or hay pro- 
duction. 
RAPE 
DWARF ESSEX 
This crop is very highly recommended for 
pasture for sheep, cattle and hogs. It also 
makes splendid green feed for poultry. Plant 
10 pounds per acre, in early spring. Develops 
rapidly and is often ready to pasture in 6 to 
8 weeks after seeding. Requires fertile, moist 
soil. t 
RYE 
SOW 85 TO 115 POUNDS PER ACRE. 
SPRING RYE 
Makes a successful growth in rather poor 
soils where other grains would fail. It is use- 
ful as a cleaning crop for the purpose of eradi- 
cating wild oats. Makes early pasture and 
may be cut and cured for hay. 
WINTER or FALL RYE 
Serves a very useful purpose for pasture 
and hay. May be sown in the spring and sum- 
mer as well as in the fall. When Winter Rye 
is sown in the spring, it goes into the fol- 
lowing season before maturing. 
SOYBEANS 
Soybeans are annual legumes, widely adapted 
to various soils and not difficult to grow on 
the warmer more fertile soils. Are excellent as 
a summer catch crop and splendid soil build- 
ers. Soybean hay is one of the best roughages 
and when mixed with corn they make splen- 
did ensilage. When harvested for seed, they 
should not be cut until pods are fully matured 
and the beans hard. 
MILLETS 
JAPANESE BARNYARD MILLET 
This millet is exceedingly palatable and is 
the best of summer green feeds for the cool 
coast sections. Sow 20 to 30 pounds per acre. 
GERMAN or GOLDEN 
Will grow on any good land and yields 
heavily when irrigated. Yields from 30 to 40 
bushels of seed per acre, and is excellent food 
for stock and poultry. Also a good green fod- 
der and hay plant. 
HOG or PRESO 
The seed is large. Feeding value almost 
equal to corn. The name “hog millet’’ is used 
to emphasize the use for which it is intended. 
It is a valuable feed for hogs and cattle as 
well as for birds and poultry. Both German 
and hog millet are often used as catch crops 
where other crops fail in irrigated or humid 
sections.
