WOOD’S QUAIL PLANTING MIXTURE 
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, mil- 
let, etc. However, food from any one of these desirable crops 
lasts only a short while. ‘'I‘1en quail must range elsewhere 
for food. We have examined hundreds of quail ‘‘craws’” many 
years to study their food habits 
QUAIL LIKE A VARIETY OF SEEDS. Our mixture con- 
tains 17 kinds of seeds most frequently found in quail stom- 
achs. These mature at different times, furnish seed and 
greens the year round, enables a farm to grow more quail 
and attracts them from other areas. It assists young birds 
to grow quickly and keep plump. 
It contains three kinds of cow peas: six weeks’ peas that 
mature in hatching season, mid-season peas and late peas to 
hold birds during hunting season. It has early, medium and 
late millet, Brown Top Millet, so popular with southern 
hunting preserves. It has heavy grain prooducing dwarf 
Kaffir corn or r.jlo maize, early and late small seeded soy- 
beans, bene, ses..unia, Alyce clover and buckwheat, relished 
by birds. Rape furnishes green focd in winter and spring. 
The mixtutre furnishes low cover, so important to protect 
birds from their natural enemies, yet does not grow tall 
enough to interfere with shooting. Our formula is based on 
years testing on our own hunting preserve, and cooperative 
tests on some of the largest Southern hunting preserves. 
Only seeds of 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. Plant it in patches 
where you hunted last fall and find more birds next season. 
How to Plant Broadcast 30 lbs. per acre in May to July 
on prepared land. 300 lbs. per acre of 5-10-5 or other fer- 
tilizer is desirable. It pays to disk, harrow and sow every 
year. The legumes enrich the soil more than the cost of 
seeding it. For QUAIL sow in long strips, near cover or 
hedgerows, or in openings or fire lanes in woods. WILD 
TURKEYS or PHEASANTS can be attracted aad multiplied 
by sowing in wider strips in secluded spots. DOVES, plant 
in 1 or 2-acre plots in the center of open areas. 
R. H. Cross, Jr., Va. Commission of Game and Inland Fish- 
eries, Roanake, Va., says: “Experimentation has proven 
Wood’s Quail Planting Mixture most desirable. [ft trippied 
the quail population on the 5,000 acre Tenneva Field Trial 
Courses in Washington Co., Va. I recommend it where en- 
vironmental improvement is necessary to increase or main- 
tain bird population. We advise planting it in strips 400 
feet by 15 feet. It would be to our advantage if the seed 
came in packages containing the ccrrect amount for plant- 
ing one of these strips.” 5 lbs. plants a strip. On request 
seed will be sacked in 5-lb. bags without extra cost. 
Camp LeJeune, N. C., has the most outstanding game de- 
velopment in the Southeast, where thousands of Marines hunt 
for recreation, exercise and outdoor training. For years the 
Camp has used Wood’s Quail Planting Mixture on many 
hundreds of game strips. 
Big Head, 
Tennessee Cultivated German Millet 25. yieta- 
ing type. Makes a bumper crop of easily cured hay in 60 
days. One of the easiest grown summer 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, May to July. Apply 300 lbs. per acre 
(f 5-10-5 fertilizer. Broadcast 25 lbs. with bus. of soybeans 
or cowpeas for higher yield, more nutritious hay and beiter 
for land. Cut when the millet blooms. 
HOG MILLET or PROSO, one of the most desirable plants 
for game birds. 
PREFERRED FOODS GROW 
Brown Top Millet Pts doves 
many miles, 
relished by quail and turkey. Excel- 
lent bird cover. Similar to Tennessee 
millet, but taller, has larger heads, pro- 
duces more seed, hay and grazing. Can 
be grazed constantly in dry summers, 
starting when 3 inches tall. One plant 
stools out about 30 stems, relished by 
poultry and all livestock. Makes more 
hay than Sudan, equal to timothy in 
feeding value, allows several cuttings, yielding 5 or 6 tons 
per acre. Broadcast 20 Ibs. per acre. April thru July. 
ALYCE CLOVER 
A superior hay, pasture, or soil improving crop for the 
Coastal Section and Deep South, thriving on sandy loam soil. 
Furnishes an abundance of seed in fall and winter relished 
by game birds. Makes 1% to 4 tons per acre of easily cured, 
finest quality hay, equal to alfalfa in palatability and nutri- 
tion. 14% to 15% protein. It is sweet scented, tender, with 
fine leaves and stems. The cured hay retains its leaves, 
green color and fragrance at least a year. It is low in mois- 
ture, dries quickly, can be windrowed a few hours after 
cutting, and baled the next day. It makes succulent, nutri- 
tious summer and early fall grazing when most pastures 
are off. Its root nodules furnish a tremendous quantity of 
nitrogen, enriching the soil. 
It is slow in germinating and does not grow vigorously 
until hot weather. If weeds get ahead of it, mow them off 
just above the clover and it will take the weeds. Before 
planting disc and harrow the seed bed to reduce weeds. 
Broadcast 15 to 20 lbs, per acre from April thru June. Cover 
lightly. Use Wood’s No. 9 Inoculation. 200 to 300 Ibs. super- 
phosphate and 50 to 100 lbs. muriate of potash pays. 
CROTALARIA 
The King of Soil Building Legumes. From corn planting 
time thru June broadcast 20 lbs. per acre, or 8 lbs. in 3-ft. 
cultivated rows. Cover 1% inches and roll. Use Wood’s 
Inoculant, Group 5. 
GIANT STRIATA CROTALARIA. Outstanding for mam- 
moth growth and seed production. Grows rapidly, resisting 
weeds and grass. Frequently yields 15 to 20 tons of green 
manure per acre. When this is turned back into the soil 
with the nitrogen gathered by its roots, yields of corn or 
other crops are increased enormously. Thrives on sandy 
loam soils and soils so low in fertility other crops fail. Can 
be seeded on small grains in early spring or when corn is 
planted. 
LATE CROTALARIA SPECTABILIS. Grows 7 feet tall. 
Yields 15 tons or more of green manure, equal to 700 to 
1,000 lbs. of nitrate of soda per acre. Stalks are pithy, 
easily plowed under and decay readily. Not eaten by live- 
stock or insect pests. Will starve nematodes out of the soil. 
SESBANIA 
Excellent fer quail, duck marshes, or soil improving in 
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 culti- 
vated, 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 humous than other plants. Puts heavy 
or wet soils in good condition in one seascn. In hot weather 
it grows rapidly, 6 to 8 ft. tall, and is ready to plow under 
in 45 to 60 days. Rapid root growth, 12 to 18 inches deep in 
8 weeks, entirely covered with nodules. Plow under early, 
as it becomes fiborous when ripe. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. per acre 
after ground warms, April thru July. Use Wood’s Inocu- 
lant 5. Our seed is scarified and high in germination. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
Excellent pasture for sheep, hogs, calves, poultry or birds. 
Pigs pastured on rape require less grain for 100 lbs. of gain 
than grazed on alfalfa. Quickest growing and cheapest 
pasture crop. Ready in 6 weeks. Broadcast 6 to 8 lbs. acre, 
or drill 3 to 4 lbs in 18 to 20-inch rows. 
JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT 

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