German Millet (Chaetochloa italica) German Millet Is a very popular variety in the South and Central States where it has been under cultivation since the early sixties. It thrives best in soil subject to considerable rainfall and will not resist drought as well as the smaller varieties. The growing period is from 14 to 21 days longer than that of Common or Hungarian Millet. The hay is coarser and less highly valued for feed. However, when the for- age can be fed in the green state, it will be found to be an excellent variety to grow because of the high yield. German Millet is a later developed va- riety and is not constant in its characters. When examining a field many, perhaps most, of the heads may be typical of the variety,, but usually there are many which can scarcely be distinguished from Common Mil- let or other standard varieties. Typical German Millet grown in the South becomes much modified when grown in the North. The heads are large and broad, and com- posed of clustered branches with purplish awns. Leaves are rather short and broad. Seeds, like those of Common Millet are yel- low but smaller in T R A D E^^^g^ M A R K Pine *^^^ Tree BRAND REG PATOrr IT STANDS ALONE .59 Thf Albert niokinson Co., Chicago—Minneapolis.
