WOOD’S COMBINE MILO 
This New Strain of the Sorghum Family Shows Special Merit for 
Grain Production in the Southern and Southeastern States 
Has proven exceptionally well adapted for harvesting with a 
combine harvester. Grows to an average height of 31 inches, but 
has a range of from 24 to 39 inches, depending upon seasonal con- 
ditions. The stalks are short and sturdy, giving it strength to re- 
sist lodging to a greater degree than any other known variety of 
commercial importance. Heads vary in length from 6 to 9 inches, 
depending upon the season, and heads are of uniform height. The 
kernels resemble yellow Milo in size and color, threshes readily 
without cracking. 
In a normal season will mature in about 100 days, but if moisture 
and warm weather prevail during late fall, it will continue grow- 
ing, requiring up to 125 days to mature. It is essentially a grain 
producer, ranging in yield from 25 to sometimes over 60 bushels 
per acre. Plant in rows, 4 to 5 pounds per acre, and only one culti- 
vation is necessary and no thinning required. 
Produced under certification requirements. 
One of our customers states: “It is an excellent feed for birds 
and can be easily combined. The seed will stay in the head all 
winter and furnishes fine bird feed, particularly when heavy snows 
prevail. Well adapted to light or poor soil. On thin land will double 
or triple the yield of corn and will yield a heavy crop of peas on 
non-wilt land. One of the best varieties for pasturing hogs, 
In the Southwestern states Wood’s Combine Milo has increased 
enormously in popularity owing to its heavy yields per acre and 
a crop that is so much easier handled than corn and other crops. 
Our customers throughout Virginia and the Carolinas are high in 
their praise of Wood’s Combine Milo, claiming in many cases that 
it will outyield corn with far less labor to cultivate and harvest 
the crop. Yields of 45 to 60 bushels per acre are very common 
throughout these sections and we believe that it is destined to be 
one of our leading grain crops. We first introduced this Milo to our 
trade four years ago, and the seed we are offering this season is the 
same strain of exceptional quality, testing practically 100% pure 
and over 90% germination, besides passing the rigid field inspec- 
tion of certified seed. Prices quoted on next page. 
‘ COW PEAS 
%. BRABHAM—Wilt-Resistant. Matures in 75 to 90 days. The heavi- 
est yielding cow pea for hay, pea production or soil improve- 
ment. It is disease-resistant and makes cow peas profitable 
when land has become so badly diseased that other varieties fail. 
It makes an upright vigorous growth, holds its foliage well, 
withstands bad weather at maturity and makes the finest quality 
hay. The seeds are similar to Whippoorwill, but smaller, and do 
not require to be seeded as thickly. It does well on poor land. 
 WHIPPOORWILL or SPECKLED—Matures in 75 to 90 days. 
Es Makes a large vigorous growth and yield of peas or hay. Upright 
____ growth, easy to harvest. Vines are usually 6 feet long. 
_ BLACK—Matures in 75 to 90 days. Long running fine growth and 
° heavy yield of peas. One of the best varieties for pasturing hogs. 
=e? MIXED COW PEAS—For hay, soil improvement or hogging down, 
as it grows thicker, matures early, produces an abundant growth, 
Stands up well. The seed costs less per bushel.

VELVET BEANS 
The South’s Wonderful Forage and Soil Improving Crop 
They make an enormous growth, larger than any other forage 
plant. Considered superior to cow peas as a soil-improver. 
Makes Nutritious Fall and Winter Grazing—In the South, velvet 
beans are used very largely for winter grazing. They should be 
allowed to grow until killed by frost, after which they can be 
grazed through the winter, as the vines, leaves and pods decay very 
slowly and remain palatable a long time. Velvet beans are usually 
grown with corn. The corn is planted in 5-foot rows, 3 feet apart 
in the row, and the beans planted between the corn. At the last 
working, beans are planted again in the middles between the rows 
of corn. When the corn is dry it is pulled from the stalk and cattle 
turned in to graze. 20 pounds will plant an acre in 5-foot rows, 
3 feet apart in the row. 
100-DAY SPECKLED—Although it will not mature the pods in 
100 days, this is one of the earliest varieties and can be grown 
farther north than the common velvet beans. South of Virginia 
they will mature in a season of average length. In more north- 
erty sections, where the seeds will not mature, it will make a 
wonderful growth of vines for pasturing and finishing cattle, and 
a fine soil improver. 
OSCEOLA VELVET BEANS—Give excellent results as a forage 
crop in Virginia, where we have found it to make fully as much 
growth of vine as the 100-Day, with pods larger and farther ad- 
vanced in the same length of time. It is free of itchy furze,
