Showing tremendous growth of Sesbania. 
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 per acre; for seed production 8 
- pounds, planting a foot apart in the row. When ripe, cut off 
the heads. Pile loosely under cover. 
JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT 
A good summer poor land or soil improving crop to smother 
weeds, or for bees. No grain crop can be grown easier or in 
less time, maturing in two months. Its flour makes delicious 
cakes, June through August broadcast 50 lbs. per acre. 
SS Attract Birds by Feeding 
Birds are a pleasure to everyone, whether around the home 
or on the farm.Providing for them with scatter feed or grow- 
ing crops is an important contribution to conservation, a 
benefit to gardens, as well as providing better hunting for 
sportsmen during the fall and winter months. 
- WOOD’S QUAIL PLANTING MIXTURE has been used for 
a number of years to excellent advantage on farms and game 
preserves. WOOD’S GAME BIRD SCATTER FOOD provides 
a fine mixture for use around the home or on hunting grounds. 
Regular feeding of Scatter Foods from Autumn until Spring, 
especially during February, March and April, when vegetation 
has not started, will attract many species of wild bird life 
around the home and farm. ‘ 
WOOD’S QUAIL PLANTING MIXTURE 
Plant it to produce permanent year round feed 
for partridges, wild turkeys, pheasants, doves, 
ete. Also to cut down the feed bill of domestic 
fowls. For quail plant in long strips next to cover 
(to attract and multiply coveys); for turkeys 
and pheasants larger strips or patches; for 
doves, one to two-acre plots. The mixture 
includes practically all cultivated crops 
relished by game birds for quick growth 
tim and to keep them in plump, vigorous con- 
a>" dition. Composed of sesbania, bene, Ger- 
an millet, alyce clover, sericea and Korean lespedezas, cow 
laredo soy beans, sShallu, milo maize, sudan grass, 
Sow 15 lbs. per acre in cultivated 
rows, or 380 lbs. broadcast after the ground warms in SM

RICHMOND, 
SESBANIA 
Its only value is a fertilizer crop, and under good moisture conditions 
it creates more nitrogen and humus for the period of growth than any 
other plant. It is used quite extensively in the Imperial Valley of 
California, Florida, and other Southern states, and is considered one 
of the finest soil builders in these sections. The plant grows very 
rapidly and is ready to plow under in 45 to 60 days, attaining a height 
of 6 to 8 feet, and should be plowed under before reaching its full ma- 
turity as it becomes too fibrous. Should not be planted until late June 
or July in Eastern Virginia and the Carolinas or late April and May in 
the Gulf States as it requires warm weather to make its rapid growth. 
With ample moisture conditions it should be a fine crop for poor soils, 
doing particularly well on heavy or wet soils, putting them in good pro- 
duction in one year. The root growth is also very rapid, from 12 to 18 
inches deep in 8 weeks, and is entirely covered with nodules. Sesbania 
VIRGINIA 

‘is primarily a tropical plant, but has matured seed as far north as 
Washington, D. C. It is well known in the far South and should make a 
fine soil building crop through Eastern Virginia and the Carolinas. 
Also a fine crop for game birds, furnishing good coverage and winter 
feed. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. Our seed is scarified and high in 
germination. Inoculate with Wood’s Inoculant 5, see page 56. 
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 800 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 
8 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 lbs. to the acre 
in drills 3 feet apart. 
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—Best 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 
3 pounds per acre in May or June in 3% foot rows. Postpaid, oz. 10c;
