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 Ibs. to the acre — 
in drills 3 feet apart. 
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 peres 
acre; for seed production 8 pounds, planting a foot apart in the LOWs 
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—BFest 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. Yields a long, 
heavy brush, free from heavy center stems and crooked brush. Ready 
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 © 
8 pounds per acre in May or June in 3% foot rows. Postpaid, oz. 10c;

SESBANIA

an abundance of seed in the Georgia 5-year test, 1,166 lbS. per acre in y 
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.

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
