NON-SACCHARINE SORGHUMS — For Forage and Grain 
Dwarf White Milo or Miio Maize, and Feterita 
For several years we have seen the necessity for selected, acclimated seed for field crops. We have been fortunate dur- 
ing this past season in having had grown for us two crops which we consider of prime importance to the farmers of the 
Slate, especially for use in the non-irrigated sections. On the ^^^^J^\^^^ A «^^^°^J^ ^' 
conditions in our two great valleys. The following simple cultural directions should suffice for most localities 
Deep plowing, thorough harrowing so as to secure the best possible seed bed; four lbs of Black Hulled White Milo 
should be ample per acre; three to four lbs. of Feterita; planting should not be done until the ground has warmed up, 
whirl, would generally be about the last of April. If a corn planter is used, the seed should be dropped about 18 inches 
apart in the row, the rows being 40 to 44 inches apart. Under ordinary conditions the crop should mature in 90 to 
100 davs from the time of planting. If sufficient water is available for two irrigations, we believe that two complete 
crops of both seed and fodder could be obtained under normal conditions. In our own crop growing this season the 
Feterita «iarted to head out 40 days after the time of planting. We have a good supply of hand-selected seed, grown 
particularly for seed purposes, carefully recleaned and graded, which we are offering as follows: 
DWARF WHITE MILO, lh. 15c; 100 lhS. $4.50. 
Broom Corn (Improved Dwarf Evergreen). Used for making 
brooms, and extensively used on account of its green 
color and fine long straight brush. It grows about 
seven feet high. Sow 10 lbs. per acre. Per lb. 15c; 100 
lbs. $3.00. 
Egyptian or Jerusalem Corn. Belongs to non-saccharine 
sorghums. It is considered a good grain for dry sec- 
tions and seasons. It produces several small heads 
on side shoots, often as many as eight heads on a 
stalk. The seed makes excellent chicken food. Plant 
eight lbs. per acre. Lh. 15c; 10O lbs. $3.QO. 
FETERITA, lh. 15c; 100 lbs. $5.00. 
Kaffir Corn, White. Grows from 6 to 10 feet high and thri s 
in hot, dry climates. Makes good fodder for cattle 
and the seed is used for stock and chicken food. Sown 
in rows three feet apart, using three to five lbs. per 
acre. Lh. 15c; 100 lhs. $6.50. 
Shallu or Egyptian Wheat. A tall-growing sorghum wh i 
has many stalks from one root. Sow in rows for gr; t, 
using 8 to 5 lbs. per acre, or broadcast, using 80 
for fodder. Lh. 15c; 100 lhs. $5.00. 
Sugar Cane Sorghum, Early Amber. A good fodder if cut 
when two feet high. Is nutritious and yields a heavy 
crop. Sow late in April, using five lbs. of seed por 
acre in drills, or 25 lbs. broadcast. Lh, 15c; 1O0 lhs. 
$5.50.

way 50 good to improve soils as to grow a cover crop of some leguminous plant and then to plow it under when just 
coming into Bower, Ot at the time of tin' last spring rains. This growing of cover crops is being done very largely in the orange 
orchards in the South and each year more of the Northern progressive orchardists are planting Melilotus and Burr Clover in the Fall 
and plowing it under in April or before. 
For orchard work the besl time to plant cover crops is in the Pall; the best way to get a fine, healthy growth of plants is by 
inoculating the seed al the time of sowing with Farmogerm. The highest, returns, in nitrogen added, come from crops inoculated. Nitro- 
gen is fertilizer when added as above, improving your soil and adding dollars to your crop. This is no experiment; it lias been attested 
a hundred times.

MELILOTUS INDICA (Bitter Clover). The crown of the 
plant has many stalks leading out from it. Sow shal- 
low. Flowers yellow. See page 52. Per lh. 20c; 100 
lhs. $6.50. 
BURR CLOVER (Meclicago Denticulata). Burr clover is 
among the best cover crops and in some localities is 
accounted the very best. Requires very little water. 
Sow with the first rains, using 15 to 20 lbs. of seed per 
acre. Per lb. 25c; 10 lbs. $1.80; 100 lbs. $10.50. 
SPRING VETCH (Vicia Sativa). Carloads of this are 
planted for a cover crop each year. Vetch does not 
groir luxuriantly until the coldest weather has passed.

- Excellent for cover crop or for 
forage for cattle. Makes a good growth even if planted 
late. Sow 70 to 80 lbs. per acre. Inoculated soils are 
essential. Per lh. 15c; larger quantities on application. 
SWEET CLOVER or BOKHARA (Melilotus Alba). Grows 
well on the poorest soil and improves all soils. Does 
not get started so quickly as the Melilotus Indica, but 
is probably better for a summer growth. Sow 10 lb*, 
per acre. Per lh. 30c; 100 lhs. $25.00.
