COES—-A combination of grain and forage crop. Will 
grow between 5 and 5% feet tall, producing a heavy 
crop of forage and seed. Mature in about 90 days in 
an average. season. 
KAFFIR CORN—Stalks. grow from 5 to 6 feet tall, 
are very leafy, make excellent feed for all livestock. 
When cut for seed it will yield as much as 35 to 50 
bushels per acre. Drill 8 to 12 pounds per acre. 
MILLETS 
The Millets are annual grasses that make their 
growth through the warmer weather of the summer 
months. They are not drought resistant and require 
“moisture throughout the growing period. Millets can be 
divided into two classes: Foxtail Millets and Proso Mil- 
lets. 
-FOXTAIL MILLETS 
SIBERIAN—A hardy drought resistant variety. Seeds 
are orange in color. Under good growing conditions, 
it is ready for harvest in 60 to 75 days. 
GERMAN OR GOLDEN—This millet varies consider- 
ably in appearance and growth habit. Makes heavy 
yields of forage and under favorable conditions. Is 
not at all resistant to drought. The seed is yellow and 
slightly smaller than common Millet. 
- 
PROSO MILLETS 
Hog or Proso Millets are used for hay, ensilage, or 
may be harvested for seed. The seeds are three or four 
times as large as Foxtail millets and vary in color 
from white yellow to red. They are handled much as 
other millets. Seeded broadcast or drilled from a grain 
drill at the rate of 40 to 50 pounds per acre. The seed 
has about the same feed value as barley and the yield 
is as high as fifty or sixty bushels per acre. Matures 
in sixty or seventy days. Must not be sown until the 
ground is warm. 
EARLY FORTUNE—An extremely early grain millet 
with reddish-brown kernels. Because of its low growth 
and extremely early maturity this variety is relatively 
low in yield. It does have a place, however, where an 
early-maturing emergency crop is needed. It matures 
in 60 to 70 days after sowing. Rate of seeding same 
as Proso.
