 non-saccharine Sorghum feed crop. In the lower and more 

 humid districts it grows to a height of from 6 to 10 feet,

 acre, in rows 3 feet apart. For fodder, sow from one- 

 half to one bushel, either broadcast or in drills. Very

EVER6REEK BROOM CORN. — There are many farmers 

 who make this a most profitable crop. One acre will pro- 

 duce about 500 cwt. of brush and nearly 40 bushels of 

 seed which is equal in value almost to oats for feed. Re- 

 quires soil similar to corn, same cultivation, but should 

 be planted some later in the season. Put ground in prime 

 condition. We think that more of our Southern farmers 

 should grow Broom Corn for market. It is profitable.

 6 inches apart: 20 pounds to an acre. Sow during March 

 and April. 1 lb., 25c., postpaid. Yz bu., $2.75; 46-lb. bu.,

 and hogs are fond of and thrive on them in Winter. One to one and a half bushels per 

 acre. The leaf, stalk and panicle of this grass resembles those of other sorghums. It 

 grows on any land where corn will grow, and, like the latter, the better the land the 

 heavier the crop. It should be cut while tender, and then all live stock are fond of it, 

 for a few weeks are enough to render it so coarse and hard that animals refuse it or 

 eat it sparingly. When once planted it cannot be eradicated. Sow during March and 

 April. 1 lb., 40c., postpaid. Yz bu., $2.75; 25-lb. bu., $5.00, not prepaid.
