CANADA PEAS 
For Early 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. 1144 bushels each per acre. Drill 
peas 3 inches to 344 inches deep. Then 
drill oats 142 inches to 2 inches. Pasture 
when about 1 foot high. Feed gradually 
to avoid bloating. After cut, new growth 
appears. 
‘JAP’? MILLET 
For Quick Hay 
Most popular millet in Northern-Central 
areas. Has made tremendous yields—up to 
20 tons per acre. Tall variety. Thrives on 
poor soil. Valuable emergency hay. To 
feed green, cut just before seed heads ap- 
pear. Sow 14 bu. per acre. 
‘‘GOLDEN”’ MILLET 
Makes satisfactory leafy hay; in Pennsy]l- 
vania, yields good crops in 7 to 9 weeks. 
Sow 3 pecks per acre (48 lbs. per bu.). 
‘‘ATLAS’’ SORGO 
Makes desirable feed. Strong stalks. Good 
producer, except when very dry. Plants 
are about 14 inch thick. Grow 7 to 10 feet 
high. Harvest when seeds are in hard- 
dough stage with ensilage cutter or corn- 
row binder. Unless dry, seed shallow. 
Plant with corn planter, using the smallest 
plates. 
SORGHUM (Fodder Cane) 
Valuable for cattle feed, as green forage, 
or ensilage. Some use it with soys for si- 
lage. Unthreshed heads fed whole or 
ground—or threshed, and grain fed. Anal- 
ysis of grain similar to corn. Supply of seed 
less than normal. 
HEGARI 
This sorghum variety is useful with soy 
beans for ensilage. Shorter; easier to han- 
dle than taller types. Early; stands well. 
30 pounds Hegari with 5 pecks of beans 
per acre is usual rate. 
SPRING VETCH 
Not winter hardy, but often used success- 
fully among spring-sown emergency pas- 
tures. Makes good growth. 
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. 
Sown late summer, early fall. Inoculate. 
Plant along with a small amount wheat or 
rye. 
CRIMSON CLOVER 
Valuable winter cover. Grows on soil too 
poor for Red Clover—is not particularly 
dependent on lime. Used for hay, pasture, 
or green manure. Use in corn fields and 
orchards. 20 Ibs. per acre, June to August; 
matures following June. Inoculate. 
BUCKWHEAT 
Yield is good, even on thin soils. Does well 
on fallow land. Can be seeded all of June, 
first half July. Quick, sure emergency crop 
where a bad spring ruined other early 
seeding. Some use buckwheat to choke out 
weeds. To tame wild land—idle ground— 
sow buckwheat. 200 Ibs. superphosphate 
may up yield by 5 to 8 bu.
