—THE WONDER EGG AND MEAT 
PRODUCING GRAIN for POULTRY 
Here is a new Poultry Grain which owes its origin to Russia, that enables you to raise your own feed. 
If you only have a small plot of ground, you can raise an enormous crop. Proso is unlike anything you 
__-have ever seen in this country It grows more rapidly and matures quicker than other grains. It reaches 
_ a height of three to four feet, stools and branches, making fifteen to twenty-five heads instead of one. That 
_ is why it yields such enormous crops from such unbelievably small plots of ground. The Sarasota County 
Tribune, May 5, 1931, of Sarasota, Florida, says: “Our test plots of Proso have drawn visitors“from 
many miles around.”’ 

Che above illustration shows a stalk 
of Proso grain heads. Notice how 
hardy and bushy this plant is. It 
grew to a height of 314 feet, stooled 
and branched, producing 21 heads, on 
one of which were 1185 grains. One 
authority tells us that a balf-pound of 
seed should produce 5 to 10 bushels 
of grain. 
Fowls Prefer It to Other Feeds 
Prof. Hansen says of Proso: ‘‘When it ts hulled and cooked for the table, the 
Russians call it Kasha, and it is used extensively in European Russia, Siberia, 
Turkestan, Mongolia, and other parts of Asia, This is specially valuable grain. 
For feeding stock, poultry, etc., it is equal to, or better than wheat.” 
It ls also used in those countries for flour and making into bread. In Russia, one 
buys Proso bread just as you buy wheat bread here. It is extremely palatable, 
and fowls prefer it to any other grain. In our experimental plant, the fowls leave 
all other grains once they have tasted Proso. Try it yourself. Put a handful of 
Proso in your mash feeder and watch how the birds do not touch the mash so long 
as any Proso remains. 4

Proso makes a splendid mash when ground alone. When feeding with corn or 
oats the ratio should be four parts Proso to one part other grain. It may be fed 
in bundles as the kernels are readily scratched out of the heads, or it may be fed 
as clean grain from the thresher. Produces more eggs and meat per bushel than 
ordinary grains, 
Fine for Hogs, Cattle and Sheep 
Grows Most Anywhere, May Be Planted Late 
Although a native of Russia, Proso does better, grows faster and matures quicker 
in our climate. During the fifteen years since it was first introduced in this coun- 
try it has become acclimated so that it now grows here just as well as ‘our native 
tee It may be planted any time after corn planting time up to the middle of 
July. 
Proso may be planted in high, dry soil that is not suitable for other grains. It 
is especially valuable as a summer “catch crop’’—something that may be planted 
on land which has had an early crop removed, or ground that has been drowned 
out and not in shape to work until late in the season.

Strawberry 
Corn 
Popular Subject For Fall 
Decorations 
While this is really a “Pop 
Corn” and a very good one at 
that, its charm is in its at- 
tractive effect of the tiny 
ears which are only 2 in. long 
and 114 in. wide and are a 
rich and shiny mahogany 
color, not unlike a gigantic 
strawberry. They are en- 
closed in straw-colored husks 
which may be bent back 
showing the ear. This va- 
riety of corn will immediate- 
ly attract attention. :
