MILLETS 
: 20 to 30 lbs per acre. 
Japanese Barnyard Millet. This millet is exceedingly palatable 
and is the best of summer green feeds for the cool coast sec- 
tions. 
German or Golden (Panicum Germanicum). Will grow on any 
good land and yields heavily when irrigated. Yields from 40 
to 60 bushels of seed per acre, and is excellent food for stock 
and poultry. Also a good green fodder plant. 
Hog or Broomcorn. The seed is large for a Millet and is a rich 
food. The name “‘hog millet’ is used to emphasize the use for 
which it is intended. It is a valuable feed for hogs as well as 
for birds and poultry. 
OATS 
%75 to 100 Ibs. per acre. 
Gray Winter Oats. Used as fall or winter. 
the spring for hay in coast sections. 
Spring White Oats. 
May be sown in 
FIELD PEAS 
100 Ibs. per acre, or 80 Ibs. with 35 lbs. oats. 
Austrian Winter Peas. Here is the ideal forage legume for 
hay, ensilage or for pasture. Austrian Winter Peas will out- 
yield vetches 2 to 1. The vines and pods are almost as large 
and heavy as garden peas. The vines, like all legumes, are 
relished by all kinds of stock. Plant in the fall for best results. 
Canadian. This legume has the distinct advantage of being 
suited to late planting. Canadian Field Peas may be planted 
in cold weather and furnish a most valuable cover crop. 
RAPE 
3 Ibs. per acre drill—5 Ibs per acre broadcast. 
Dwarf Essex. This crop is very highly recommended for pas- 
turage for sheep and cattle, furnishing most rich and nutri- 
tious pasturage within six or eight weeks from the time of 
sowing. It also makes splendid green feed for poultry. 
RYE 
40 to 100 Ibs. per acre. 
Spring Rye is an excellent soiler and can be produced on poor, 
worn out land under dry conditions where other grains would 
fail. It is useful 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 summer as well as 
in the fall. When Winter Rye is sown after frost it goes into 
the following season before maturing, thus making it a 
biennial. 

SOYBEANS 
35 to 50 Ibs. per acre. ; ; 
Soybeans are annual legumes widely adapted to various soils 
and not difficult to grow, are excellent as a summer catch 
crop and splendid soil builders. Soybean hay is one of the best 
roughages and when mixed with corn they make splendid 
ensilage. When harvested for seed, they should not be cut 
until pods are fully matured and the beans hard. Plant in 
rows. 
SUNFLOWER 
California Gray Stripe. 
VETCH 
A vine resembling peas and 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 for cover crops and turned under in the spring. 
80 lbs. or 60 lbs. with 40 Ibs. of oats. 
Hairy Vetch (Vicia Villosa). Thrives on poor, arid, sandy soils, 
and makes a better growth during the cold season than the 
others. 30 lbs. per acre. 
Hungarian. Finer stemmed and leafier than most forage 
vetches. Suitable to various types of soils. Very resistant to 
aphid attacks. 
Common Vetch.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR BETTER GARDENING 
/ \ PRODUCTIVE GARDEN ig it is well planned, will yield 
a large variety of fresh vegetables for your table. 
Work out a complete plan of operation before you buy any 
seed or do any outside work. Be sure the vegetable garden 
will be in full sun more than half of the day. 
Short beds are an advantage. They take less time to care 
for properly, therefore making a greater showing of accom- 
plishment. 
Outline the entire garden, including the paths and beds, 
with stout string fastened to stakes to make planting easier. 
Then place stakes for the first row and stretch a line between 
them. each row so it will be 
straight and all rows will be the correct distance apart. 
Be sure your garden plot has good drainage. Standing water 
will ruin plants. 
Repeat this before planting 
There should be some protection against 
strong winds. 
Essential tools you will need are spade (or fork), hoe, rake, 
and a small hand duster or sprayer. 
A “spring gardener’’ lets his work go with neglect as soon 
as the weather is warm. So make a good start and keep going 
all season by doing a little bit each day. That is the advantage 
of the short row—it is never discouraging. 
We have the best seeds you can obtain. They are selected 
for high germination and purity through constant testing and 
selection. 
LOCATION—PREPARING THE SOIL 
Exposure for the vegetable garden should be sunny. No 
common vegetable will grow under trees, or in the shade of 
buildings—only a few herbs will thrive under such conditions. 
The garden should be as open and as sunny as possible. 
Sometimes buildings on adjacent lots may shade the garden

a little, but if the sun reaches the soil at least half of the day, 
you will be able to grow most any vegetable you desire. 
Plan the vegetable rows to run from north to south. This 
direction gives the most benefit from the sun, Another way 
is to plant the taller kinds behind so that they never shade the 
small ones. 
Good soil is as essential as sunlight to growing plants. 
Most soils will grow vegetables, or can be made suitable by 
thorough, deep spading and liberal applications of manure, 
peat or other humus material at that time. Dig as deep as the 
spading fork or spade will go, forcing it straight down before 
lifting and turning the soil over, breaking up all clods. Grass 
may be turned under to rot and make humus, but the roots of 
perennial weeds, like dandelions and thistles, should be re- 
moved. Throw out all large stones, building refuse and other 
material detrimental to growing plants.
