no better variety offered. We have tried them all, 
749 Condon's Sugar King Sorghum 
The Sweetest, Earliest, Juiciest of all the varieties we have 
ever seen. Makes syrup equal to that good old maple syrap 
that Mother used to make. Sow 6 to 8 pounds per acre. One 
a.'re will produce 250 gallons of syrup under favorable condi- 
tions. You can sell it anywhere on earth from $1.00 to $1.dO 
per .rallon. Sow in running rows SMj feet apart alter danger 
of tnist is over, cultivate like corn. When the seed is per- 
ICctly hard the sugar content is at its highest per cent., but 
the danger of frost in northern states is too great to wait so 
late so we recommend cutting when the seed is in the late 
niilk stage to be perfectly safe. Remove all leaves and about 
one foot of the top stalk, running balance of stalk through 
press to squeeze out the juice and boil to desired thickness.
