“JAPANESE” MILLET 
Has made tremendous yields—up to 20 
tons per acre. Known as “Million-Dollar 
Grass.” Tall variety. Thrives on poor soil. 
Valuable emergency hay. For green feed- 
ing, cut just before seed heads appear. 
Sow % bushel per acre. 
“GOLDEN” MILLET 
Makes satisfactory leafy hay; in Pennsyl- 
vania yields good crops in from seven to 
nine weeks. Sow 38 pecks per acre (48 
pounds per bushel). “Hungarian” Millet 
is used by some folks in more northern 
sections. 
CANADA PEAS for Green Feed 
For cattle, sheep, hogs. Growth is rapid, 
gives green feed when other seedings are 
just starting. Sow early, with oats. Oats 
support the vines—make a palatable com- 
bination. 1% bushels each per acre. Drill 
peas 3” to 34” deep. Then drill oats 14’ 
to 2’ deep. Pasture when about one foot 
high. Feed gradually at first to avoid 
bloating. After cut, a new growth will 
appear. 
RAPE for Quick Pasture 
For sheep and hogs. Inexpensive, prolific. 
Thrives on all soils with little preparation. 
Sow 5 to 6 pounds per acre, through 
spring up to end of August. Alone, with 
other pasture seeds, or in corn fields. 
Makes second growth. Pasture when less 
than 10 inches high. Stands hard usage. 
HOG PASTURE MIXTURE 
Valuable as emergency pasturage; a quick- 
growing green feed—often ready in four 
weeks. Plant 70 pounds per acre, broad- 
cast or with seeder, between June and 
August 1. Harrow in. Grows until frost, 
but will not winter. An abundant producer 
of flesh and fat, also of wool. For cattle, 
cut and haul to barn to prevent trampling.

forage sorghum with strong stalks .. . 
seeds may be used as a grain feed. Out- 
produces grain sorghum in forage, except 
when very dry. 
Plants are about % inch thick and grow 
7 to 10 feet high. Harvest when the seeds 
are in the hard-dough stage with field 
ensilage cutter or corn-row binder. Unless 
dry, seed shallow. Plant with corn planter, 
using the smallest plates. 
SORGHUM 
Valuable for cattle feed as green forage 
or ensilage. Sometimes used along with 
soybeans to make fine silage. Unthreshed 
heads fed whole or ground—or threshed, 
and grain fed. Analyses of grain similar 
to corn. For Amber and (or) Orange type, 
see Price List. 
HAIRY (WINTER) VETCH 
Excellent for green feed when cut in full 
bloom, as hay when pods are about half 
formed, or as green manure. Good on 
sandy soils, or where red clover fails. Usu- 
ally sown in late summer or early fall. 
Be sure to inoculate. Plant along with a 
small amount of wheat or rye. 
SPRING VETCH 
Not winter hardy, but often used success- 
fully among spring pastures. Makes good 
growth when planted in the spring. 
COW HORN TURNIP 
Improves soil, provides forage. Sometimes 
used in corn fields. Tops relished by 
sheep, hogs, poultry. Sow 2 to 4 pounds 
per acre.
