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, millet, etc. How- 
ever, food from any one of these desirable crops lasts only a short 
while. Then quail must range elsewhere for food. We have ex- 
amined 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 stomachs. 
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 ma- 
ture 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 producing dwarf Kaffir corn or milo maize, early 
and late small seeded soybeans, bene, sesbania, and buckwheat, 
relished by birds. Vetch, crimson clover and rape furnish green 
food or seed in winter and spring. It furnishes low cover, so im- 
portant 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 pre- 
pared land. 300 lbs. per acre of 5-10-5 or other fertilizer is de- 
sirable. 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 TURKEY or PHEASANTS can be attracted and 
multiplied by sowing in wider strips in secluded spots. DOVES, 
plant in 1 or 2-acre plots in the center of open areas, 
WOOD’S GAME BIRD SCATTER FOOD 
Attracts doves, quail, turkey and other game birds to your farm, 
ducks and geese to your marshes, or song birds to your home. 
Feed it regularly in winter, especially during snows when little 
native food is left. Birds range far to find it. It furnishes nour- 
ishment and warmth in the coldest weather. Native birds will re- 
main with you and multiply in the summer and fall. Migratory 
birds will return to your marshes the following winter. Birds never 
forget where they found food when they needed it, 
Birds need a variety of food to keep healthy 
and able to withstand the hardships of winter.
