Sorghum Is Excellent For Forage, Grain, Syrup 



A Field of Hegari 



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, I21/2 pounds per acre, 

 6 to 10 seeds, 12 to 18 inches apart in ro"ws. 

 If sown broadcast, half bushel per acre. 

 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 90c; postpaid. Write for 

 quantity prices. 



EARLY ORANGE SORGHUM— Equally as valu- 

 able as the Amber for forage but on account 

 of the longer growth it is better for syrup 

 making. About ten days later than the Am- 

 ber. Planting and culture same as Amber. 

 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 90c; postpaid. Write for

SUGAR DRIP CANE — Good syrup producer, 

 splendid forage crop and if drilled thickly

 April 20 seeds in each hill in rows about II/2 

 feet apart. 

 UPLAND — Well known medium grain.

 WILD RICE — Best time to sow is in Spring, 

 although it can be sown any time. Thor- 

 oughly soak seed in water so that it will 

 sink into the desired situation, sow in 

 shallow water not over three feet deep and 

 from this depth into the shore. A still day 

 should be chosen for sowing so that the seed 

 will not drift out to deep water. Very at- 

 tractive for wild fowl on game reserves and 

 small lakes. Sow 20 pounds per acre.
