WOOD'S QUAIL PLANTING MIXTURE 
Why Hunt All Over the Woods to Find Birds? . . . 
Go to Patches of Wood's Quail Planting Mixture. 
Old-time bird hunters know where to find birds—in patches of cow peas, 
millet, etc. However, food from one of these crops lasts only a short 
while. Then 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 contains 17 kinds 
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 six weeks and mid-season cow 
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 dwarf early and late combine milo, early and 
late small seeded soybeans, bene, lespedeza, sudan, sesbania, Alyce 
clover and buckwheat, relished by birds. Rape furnishes green food in 
_ winter and spring. 
The mixture furnishes low cover, so important to 
protect birds from their natural enemies, yet does not 
| grow tall enough to interfere with shooting. Our for- 
/ mula 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 Ibs. per acre May 
| to July on prepared land. 300 Ibs. per acre of 5-10-5 
or other fertilizer is desirable. It pays to disk, har- 
row 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 and multiplied by sowing in wider 
| strips in secluded spots. Doves, plant in 1 or 2-acre 
_ plots in the center of open areas. 
BENE 
Makes enormous amount of nutritious fattening seeds 
_ loved by game birds and poultry. Adapted to most 
| soils; upright growth, covered in fall with long okra 
like pods. These gradually open all winter, dropping 
the seeds which attract quail and other game birds. 
Drill 5 lbs. per acre in 2!/> to 3-ft. rows and cultivate; 
or broadcast 15 lbs. per acre. 
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 2 months. 
Its flour makes delicious cakes. June through August 
broadcast 50 lbs. per acre. 


Tenn. German Millet 
TENNESSEE CULTIVATED GERMAN MILLET 
Big head, large yielding type. Makes a 
bumper crop of easily cured hay in 60 
days. One of the easiest grown sum- 
mer 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 of 5-10-5 fertilizer. Broadcast 25 
lbs. with bus. of soybeans or cowpeas 
for higher yield, more nutritious hay and 
better for land. Cut when the millet 
blooms. We also have ordinary Ger- 
man Millet and Hog Millet, which are 
earlier, not as tall, have smaller heads, 
less hay or seed. 
BROWN TOP MILLET 
Draws doves many miles. Relished by 
quail and turkey. Excellent bird cover. 
Similar to Tenn. millet, but taller, has 
larger heads, produces more seed, hay 
and grazing. Can be grown constantly 
in dry summers, starting when 3 in. tall. 
One plant stools out about 30 stems, 
relished by poultry and livestock. Makes 
more hay than Sudan, equal to Timothy 
in feeding value, allows several cuttings, 
yielding 5 or 6 tons per acre. Broad- 
cast 20 lbs. per acre, April to July. 
SESBANIA 
Excellent for 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. Does well on any soil if cultivated, 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 nitro- 
gen and humus than most other plants. Sow 20 to 25 
Ibs. per acre after ground warms, April through July. 
PEARL or CATTAIL MILLET 
Grows 10 to 12 ft. tall. For greatest amount of nutri- 
tious green feed or hay cut at 3 to 4 ft. Stools out 
luxuriantly; gives 3 to 4 cuttings a season, growing 
till frost. Does well even on poor land and in dry 
seasons. Highly nutritious. All stock eat it greedily 
and flourish on it. Also excellent for silage. When 
land is warm, plant 8 lbs. per acre in 3-ft. drills near 
the feeding lot. Cut some daily; fertilize heavily. - 
WOOD'S 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, es- 
pecially during snows when little native food is left. 
Birds range far to find it. It furnishes nourishment and 
warmth in the coldest weather. Native birds will re- 
main and repay you many times over killing insect 
pests. 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. Our for- 
mula, prepared by highest authority, has a wide as- 
sortment of seeds sought after by wild birds. It is 
used by many bird clubs and other wildlife conserva- 
tion organizations. 
SONG BIRDS. There is no greater pleasure to 
children or grown-ups in cold weather than to watch 
song birds fussing over which will eat the most Wood's 
Bird Scatter Food.
