WOOD’S QUAIL PLANTING MIXTURE 
Sown in Food Patches Attracts and Multiplies Game Birds. 
Contains Bicolor and Scarified Sericea Lespedezas. 
Va. Game Commission recommends 
it: "Ample food is necessary throughout 
the year. Scarcity of food and cover in 
winter definitely limits the number of 
quail that survive. Cover is any vegeta- 
tion giving protection from enemies, the 
elements, and a refuge for roosting and 
nesting. Quail eat a variety of seeds, al- 
most all legumes, preferably lespedezas, 
cowpeas and small soybeans. The 15 to 
30 feet of field next to woods produces 
a small stunted crop, grown at a loss as 
the return seldom equals the cost of 
plowing, seed, fertilizer, cultivation and 
harvest. The only practical land use is to sow field borders in wildlife 
food and cover which controls erosion, retards tree growth, and furnishes 
turnrows." 
Old-time bird hunters know where to find birds—in patches of cowpeas, 
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. Our mixture con- 
tains 18 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 lespedezas, 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, sudan grass, sesbania, and buckwheat, relished by birds. Rape 
nishes green food in winter and spring. 
It furnishes low cover to protect birds from their 
enemies. Our formula is based on years testing on our 
own and some of the largest Southern hunting pre- 
serves. Plant it in patches where you hunted last fall 
and find more birds next season. 
HOW TO PLANT. Broadcast 25 lbs. per acre May 
to July on prepared land. 400 lbs. per acre of fer- 
tilizer is desirable. It pays to disk, harrow and sow 
every year. For Quail sow in long strips, near cover, 
fences, ditches or hedgerows, in old tobacco beds, or 
in openings or fire lanes in woods, 5 Ibs. per strip, 
400 ft. by 15 ft. For Wild Turkeys or Pheasants sow 
in wider strips in secluded spots. For Doves sow | 
or 2-acre plots in the center of open areas. 
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, especially 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 remain 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 needed. Birds need a variety of food to keep healthy. 
Our formula, prepared by highest authority, has a wide as- 
sortment of seeds sought by wild birds. It is used by many 
bird clubs and other wildlife conservation organizations. 
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 dis- 
tance by the seed. Does well on any soil if cultivated, best on 
bottoms if broadcast. Quick vigorous growth. Furnishes ex- 
cellent cover. A superior soil-improving crop. With moisture it 
creates more nitrogen and humus than most other plants. Sow 
20 to 25 lbs. per acre after ground warms, April to July.

JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT 
A good summer grain crop for feed or 
flour, 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, 
sow 50 lbs. per acre. 
BENE 
Makes an enormous amount of nutritious 
fattening seeds loved by game birds 
and poultry. Adapted to most soils; up- 
right 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!/>-ft. rows and cultivate; 
or broadcast 15 Ibs. per acre. 
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 grazed 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, oe : 
yielding 5 or 6 tons per acre. Broadcast 
20 Ibs. per acre, April to July. Pearl or Cat-Tail Millet 
TENNESSEE GROWN LARGE HEADED MILLET 
Formerly called German Millet. Makes a bumpér crop of easily cured 
hay in 60 days. One of the easiest grown summer 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 400 Ibs. per acre of 5-10-5 fertilizer. 
Sow 25 lbs. with a bushel of soybeans or cowpeas for 
higher yield, more nutritious hay and better for land, 
Cut when the millet blooms. We also have Hog 
Millet which is earlier and has smaller heads. 
PEARL or CAT-TAIL 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 Ibs. per acre in 3-ft. drills near 
the feeding lot. Cut some daily; fertilize heavily. 
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER 
Good grain crop for poultry or game, or green feed for hogs. 
Profitable cash crop; yields 1,000 to 1,500 Ibs. per acre of 
seed rich in oil and protein. Plant and cultivate like corn in 
2\/>-foot rows. For feed or silage, plant 15 to 20 Ibs. per acre; 
for seed production 8 lbs. a foot apart in the row. When ripe, 
cut off the heads. Pile loosely under cover to dry. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE 
One of the most valuable, quickest growing and cheapest pas- 
ture crops that can be planted, especially for hogs, sheep and 
poultry. An acre grazes 30 hogs for 6 weeks. Ready to 
graze 6 to 8 weeks after seeding. Rape is most winter resistant, 
growing vigorously and furnishing an abundance of palatable 
nutritious green feed high in vitamins when most needed. Rape 
pasture equals alfalfa for hogs. Pigs pastured on rape require 
less grain per 100 Ibs. of gain than when grazed on alfalfa. 
Rape does well on any good soil. Sow in February, March, 
August or September, 6 to 8 lbs. per acre broadcast alone or 
4 to 6 Ibs. in 18 to 24 inch drills. To insure against bloating 
sheep sow 5 to 6 lbs. with 1!/> bu. of oats.
