. Dickinson's hand book on farm seeds. Forage plants. [from old catalog]; Grain. [from old catalog]; Seeds. Coramon Millet (Chaetochloa italica) Common Millet was one of the first of the foxtail millets to be introduced and come into general cultivation in the U. S. It is also the earliest and hardiest variety grown in the northern part of the Millet belt. It is very drought resistant and will produce a fair crop on the poorer classes of soils. Under ideal conditions of soil and moisture, stock feeders prefer this Millet for hay to others because of its finer qual- ity, there being less loss in feeding it. Ger- man Millet usually produces better yields under favorable conditions of soil and mois- ture, but under average conditions Com- mon Millet produces more forage of finer quality in the Northern States. Although one of the earliest of the fox- tail Millets', it is most constant in its char- acters. The heads are nodding, medium in size, rather compact at the tip, but open at the base, and taper toward the tip. Seeds are somewhat larger than, those of Hun- garian or German, oval in shape, and yellow in color. Stems are slender, do not usually branch, and produce broad leaves. This Mil- let stools freely, especially, when grown on. rich rPADE MARK ickinson Co., Chicago—Minneapolis.
