Why Hunt All Over the Woods? 
Go to patches of WOOD’S QUAIL PLANTING MIXTURE 
to find birds. 
Lespedeza alone is not the answer. Old-time bird hunters 
know where to find birds—in patches of cow peas, cane, 
millet, etc. However, the food from any one of these de- 
sirable crops lasts only a short while. Then the quail must 
range elsewhere for food. 
To find out the combination of desired crops that would 
furnish food the year round, we have examined hundreds 
of quail ‘“craws” for many years to study their food habits. 
Quail Like a Variety of Seeds 
WOOD’S QUAIL PLANTING MIXTURE contains 15 kinds 
of seeds, including the foods most frequently found in quail 
stomachs. These foods, maturing at different times, furnish 
seed and greens the year round. This enables a farm to 
grow more quail and attracts them from other areas where 
food has become scarce. It assists young birds to grow 
quickly and keeps them in plump, vigorous condition. 
Year-Round Food Supply 
WOOD’S QUAIL PLANTING MIXTURE contains three 
kinds of cow peas: six weeks’ peas that mature during the 
hatching season, mid-season, peas, and late peas to hold birds 
during the hunting season. It has early, medium and late 
millet, including Brown Top Millet, so popular with hunting 
preserves in the deep south. It includes the new, heavy 
grain producing, dwarf kaffir corn or milo maize. It has 
early and late small seeded soybeans and buckwheat, rel- 
ished by birds. Vetch, crimson clover and rape furnish green 
food or seed during the winter and spring months. 
The mixture furnishes low cover, so important for pro- 
tecting birds from their natural enemies, yet does not grow 
tall enough to interfere with shooting. 
Our formula is based on 40 years of testing on our own 
hunting preserve, combined with recommendations and co- 
operative tests on some of the largest hunting preserves in 
the South. 
Game Management Advice 
We now employ one of the best authorities on game man- 
agement in the South to carry on these tests. On request, 
he supervises plantings on Southern game preserves free. 
Only seeds of the highest purity and germination are used 
in our mixture, yet it is priced lower than the seeds could 
be bought separately and mixed by individuals. 
Sesbania 
Excellent for the Southern Coastal Plains. Made more 
seed than any other crop in a 5-year Georgia test. Game 
birds are attracted from a distance by the seed, which lies 
on the ground all winter without decaying. Does well on 
any soil if cultivated, but best on rich bottoms if broadcast. 
Makes a quick vigorous growth and furnishes excellent cover. 
A superior soil-improving crop. With moisture it creates 
more nitrogen and humus than any other plant, grows very 
rapidly and is ready to plow under in 45 to 60 days, attain- 
ing a height of 6 to 8 feet. Should be plowed under before 
reaching its full maturity, as it becomes too fibrous. Plant 
from April to July. Requires warm weather to make its 
rapid growth. Puts heavy or wet soils in good production in 
one year. Root growth is very rapid, from 12 to 18 inches 
deep in 8 weeks, and is entirely covered with nodules. Pri- 
marily a tropical plant, but matured seed as far north as 
Washington, D. C. Fine soil building crop through Eastern 
Virginia, the Carolinas and deep south. 
Sow 20 to 25 Ibs. per acre. Our seed is scarified and high 
in germination. Inoculate with Wood’s Inoculant 5.

Find Quail Where Their Preferred Foods Grow 
Have us send some WOOD’S 
QUAIL PLANTING MIX- 
TURE to the farms where 
Ask the 
farmer to plant it in little 
patches over the farm, and find 
more birds next season. 
HOW TO PLANT 
Broadcast S30 lbs. per acre 
in May or June, on prepared 
land. 300 lbs. per acre of 
4-12-4 or other fertilizer is de- 
sirable but not required. It 
partially reseeds itself, yet it 
pays to disk harrow and re- 
sow every year. The legumes enrich the so:l, more than 
paying for the cost of seeding it. 

For QUAIL, sow in long strips, nsar cover or hedgerows, 
or in openings or fire lanes in woods. 
WILD TURKEY or PHEASANTS (where they exist), can 
be attracted and multiplied by sowing it in wider strips in 
secluded spots. 
Dove Hunters 
You will find WOOD’S QUAIL PLANTING MIXTURE 
equally effective, attracting doves, if planted in one or two 
acre plots in the center of open areas. 
Brown Top Millet 
Draws doves many miles. Relished by quail and turkey. 
Similar to German millet but has larger heads, and pro- 
duces more seed and leaf growth. Furnishes excellent cover. 
It is sought after by experienced game managers on the 
largest Southern game preserves. 
German Millet 
Big head, large yielding type. Makes a bumper crop of 
easily cured hay in 60 days. One of the easiest grown sum- 
mer catch crops when feed is short. Smothers out weeds, 
leaving ground in fine condition for fall crops. Drill 50 lbs. 
per acre on harrowed wheat or oat land from May to July. 
Apply 300 lbs. per acre of 4-12-4 fertilizer. Thin seeding 
makes coarse stems and poor quality hay. Broadcast 25 lbs. 
with a bus. of soy beans or cow peas for higher yield of more 
nutritious hay and is better for the land. Cut when the 
millet blooms. Later woody fibre forms, making the hay 
coarse and unpalatable. 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
An excellent pasture crop for sheep, hogs, calves, poultry 
or birds. Pigs pastured on rape require less grain feed for 
100 lbs. of gain than when grazed on alfalfa. One of the 
quickest growing and cheapest pasture crops. Ready in 6 
weeks. Sow 5 lbs. with 2 bus. oats per acre. Sow alone, 
6 to 8 lbs. per acre broadcast, or 3 to 4 lbs. in drills 18 to 
20 inches apart.

Japanese Buckwheat 
A good summerpoor land or soil improving crop to 
smother weeds, or for bees or birds. No grain crop can be 
grown easier or in less time, maturing in two months. Its 
flour makes delicious cakes. June to August broadcast 50 
Ibs. per acre. Requires but little soil preparation. Excellent 
summer cover crop for orchards.
