SORGHUM 
EARLY AMBER SORGHUM—Exceedingly popu- 
lar for forage, relished greatly by stock, be- 
cause of sweetness. Makes good syrup but 
not quite as good for syrup as the Orange 
because of the small stalk. Plant March to 
July in rows 3 feet, 1214 pounds per acre, 
6 to 10 seeds, 12 to 18 inches apart in rows. 
If sown broadcast, half bushel per acre.

EARLY ORANGE SORGHUM—Equally as valu-
