Woon’s QUAIL PLANTING MIXTURE 
Sown in Food Patches Attracts and Multiplies Game Birds. 
Contains Bicolor and Scarified Sericea Lespedezas. 
“This wildlife border attracts game birds, providing both feed and cover.” 
Do You Enjoy Hunting Quail? Are you one of the many sportsmen 
who would like to do something about increasing the game population? 
If so, follow the advice of the Va. Game Commission and plant the 15 to 
30 ft. of field next to the woods in wildlife food. Although this space 
will not produce much when planted in field crops, it will provide the 
cover and food necessary for Quail and other game. 
In formulating our planting mixture, we have taken advantage of the 
research done by our staff, game commissions, private organizations and 
observant individuals. We have spent many hours studying the kind of 
food and cover game birds need in order to survive and multiply. 
In order to obtain a mixture that will furnish the best feed and cover 
the year ‘round we have incorporated 18 kinds of seed. These include 
bicolor, sericea, korean and kobe lespedezas; cowpeas; brown, German 
and early millet; milo; small seeded soybeans; bene; sudan grass; buck- 
wheat, and rape. This mixture has furnished low cover and a constant 
food supply everywhere tested. 
How to Plant. Broadcast 25 Ibs. per acre, May to July, on prepared 
land, using 400 lbs. of fertilizer. It pays to disc, harrow, and sow each 
year. For Quail, sow in long strips near cover, fences, ditches, or hedge- 
rows, in old tobacco beds, or in openings or fire lanes in woods. For a 15 
by 400 ft. strip, use 5 Ibs. For Wild Turkeys or Pheasants, sow in wider 
strips in secluded spots. For Doves sow one or two acres in an open area. 
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 available. 
It furnishes nourishment and warmth in the coldest weather. Birds will 
range far to find it. Native birds will remain and repay you many times 
over by killing insects. Migratory birds will return to your marshes the 
following winter. Birds never forget where they found food when needed. 
A variety of foods is needed by birds to keep healthy. Our formula, 
prepared by highest authority, has a wide assortment of seeds sought by 
wild birds including hemp and sunflower. Used by many bird clubs and 
other conservation organizations. 
BICOLOR LESPEDEZA No. 101, Perennial. 
Ideal quail food. Should be included in every wildlife program as its stiff 
stems stand up during winter storms, shedding seed on top of snow, 
furnishing food to quail when they might otherwise perish. The bark 
and leaves are excellent food for rabbits, the blooms attract honeybees. 
Grows well on all but wet or very acid soils. Use as field borders or 
hedgerows. 1 lb. plants strip 15 by 400 ft. Broadcast or plant in 2 “Te 
rows on prepared land. 500 Ibs. complete fertilizer desirable. Sow April 
to July as far north as southern Pennsylvania after ground warms. 
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER, poultry, game, hogs 
Good grain crop. Profitable cash crop as it yields 1,000 to 1,500 Ibs. per 
acre of seed rich in oil and protein. Plant and cultivate like corn in 2V/2 
foot rows. For feed or silage plant 15 to 20 lbs. per acre; for seed pro- 
duction, plant 12 inches apart in the row at the rate of 8 Ibs. per acre. 
When ripe, cut off the heads and pile loosely under cover to dry. 
JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT 
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 Ibs. per acre. 
BENE, Game Birds Love It 
Makes an enormous amount of nutritious fattening seeds for 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 2V/2-ft. rows and culti- 
vate; or broadcast 15 lbs. acre. 
BROWN TOP MILLET 
Draws doves many miles. Relished by quail and turkey. Excellent bird 
cover. Similar to German millet, taller, has larger heads, produce 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, yielding 5 or 6 tons per acre. Broadcast 20 
lbs. per acre, April to July. 
BIG GERMAN MILLET—STRAIN 8 
Big German Millet is a tall leafy variety of foxtail millet, adapted to the 
Southern half of the U. S. It matures in 68 to 70 days and has a potential 
yield of 2,000 Ibs. or more of grain, and 2/2 to 3 tons of hay. It is prob- 
ably of highest value as a catch crop to be planted late after small grain, 
since it is easy to grow, and is very productive, but is valuable as a hay 
crop under a wide variety of conditions. 
Drill 50 Ibs. per acre on harrowed wheat or oat land from May to July. 
Apply 300 Ibs. fertilizer. 
We also have Va. Grown Golden Millet grown from Tenn. Cultivated 
German Millet, seed of the strain we have handled for years. 
This field of Big German Millet, Strain 8, was about 50 inches high, made 
2,500 Ibs. of seed and about 21/2 tons of hay after threshing. 
BROOM CORN 
Easily grown on any land. Yields 300 to 600 lbs. of fiber and 3 to 6 bushels 
of seed per acre. 
Standard Evergreen. Grows 8 to 10 ft. tall, a long heavy brush, free 
from heavy center stems and crooked brush. Ready to cut in 90 to 100 
days. Best for the South. 
Early Dwarf. Best for the North. 10 to 15 days earlier, makes a finer 
and heavier brush, growing 61/2 to 7 ft. tall. If cut early, it makes green 
colored brush for parlor brooms, which bring a premium price. 
PEARL or CAT-TAIL MILLET 
Grows 10 to 12 ff. tall, stooling out luxuriantly. For greatest amount of 
nutritious green feed or hay, cut at 3 to 4 ft. Will give 3 or 4 cuttings 
a season, growing till frost. It does well even on poor land and in dry 
seasons. Fertilize heavily. All stock eat it greedily and flourish on it. Makes 
excellent silage. When the ground is warm, April-to July, plant 
8 lbs. per acre in 3 ft. drills near the feeding lot. Cut some daily.
