YIELDING 
For Spring Seeding 
Speltz, also called Emmer, is 
quite different from the ordi- 
nary grain crop. It.resembles 
Barley but is really a species 
of Wheat. The grain is broader than 
Barley, and the kernels are not so tightly 
enclosed in the hull. The grain is softer. The 
4 
shuck and grain both have good feeding value.. It makes a 
rich feed that is palatable and relished by all kinds of live- 
stock. 
Prepare ground same as you would for any small grain 
crop. Sow 2 to 2% bushels per acre. Drill or 
broadcast. Harvest when in hard dough stage. 
Consider its resistance; its early maturity; 
its heavy yields; its high feeding value and 
palatability. You will find it worthy of a 
trial and once tried we are sure you will al- 
ways want some Speltz on the farm.

poisonous due to drought or frost. 
Our seed is fine and our price is low. 
GERMAN OR GOLDEN MILLET 
The German Type or Golden Millet is a truly remarkable 
crop. This Millet is an enormous yielder both of hay and 
seed. Its dense tall growth affords a lot of fine feed in a 
short time. The crop is quick growing and a great drought 
resister. Seed yields run 40 to 50 bushels per 
acre. Can be sown as late as July and makes 
a fine crop. This fine leafy crop is certainly 
a great help to any farmer caught short on 
feed. Sow 20 to 30 lbs. per acre. 
Heavy producing stock is generally sold at 
premium prices. This seed is cleaned and 
graded. For feed or seed production our 
German Millet is a winner. 
PROSO MILLET 
This variety is a big seed producing Millet. It is not as good 
a hay variety as the others. The seed is considerably larger 
and is grown chiefly for seed. Equal to small grains in fat- 
value for hogs. Poultry men have been praising its 
value highly. ak 
Proso Millet is one of the earliest maturing 
varieties, requiring about 65.to 75 days. Don’t 
sow too early. It is partial to warm seed bed. 
Tf small grain fails or you want a good cash 
catch crop, sow Proso.

grains are harvested and they obtain a good 
crop. Can be sown up to August Ist. Sow 
about 1 bushel or 48 pounds per acre. Our 
seed is recleaned. Our stock is the Japanese 
type. This type is most in demand. 







WHITE MILLET

This is a fine type of Millet preferred by some over all 
The foliage is very heavy which accounts for its 
big yields. The long heads make prolific seed 
yields. It is a top-notcher in yield for hay 
or seed. Leaves fairly broad. Cures readily.
