EVERGREEN 
Fodder Corn 
Minnesota Grown 
An excellent forage crop yielding more feed per acre than any other eraim 
or grasses. Its value is becoming more and more appreciated yearly It 
may be sown as a catch crop when other crops fail. It provides nutritious 
forage for stock and is invaluable to dairymen. 
Kodder Corn is raised especially for FODDER, while corn fodder is the 
fodder remaining after the ears of corn have been removed. Good fodder 
and plenty of it, supplimentcd by a generous grain ration is as essential a-- 
good cows and good care in profitable dairing. All owners of cattle will 
nnd it a cheap and good crop to grow for feeding to stock, in the green 
state, during the summer months, helping out the shortness of feed ami 
keeping up a supply of milk.

Kaffir Corn 
Yields heavily even on the poorest soils. 
This wonderful forage 
plant has become very pop 
ular in all sections and is 
highly recommended by the 
leading agricultural writers. 
It is a variety of none-sacch- 
arine sorghum and distinct 
from all others of this class. 
It does not stool from the 
roots, but branches from top 
joints, producing two. three 
and four heads of grain 
from each stalk. Average 
height on good land is about 
5 feet, but the stalks are 
very strong and never known 
to blow down in ordinary 
wind storms. It has the 
valuable quality of re- 
sisting drought, and if the 
growth is checked for want 
of moisture, the plant waits 
for rain, then resumes its 
progress at once without 
any apparent detriment to 
its condition; indeed report 
shows that it has never 
failed to produce a good 
crop In the most disastr- 
ous season. The whole 
stalk, as well as the blades, 
cure into excellent fodder, 
and in all stages of its 
growth is available for 
green feed. All kinds of 
cattle are fond of it. Kaf- 
fir Corn may be planted 
very early in the spring, a nd 
should be sown in rows 
about 3 feet apart, using 
about 3 or 4 pounds to the 
acre. It can be grown as 
far north as Minnesota, and is therefore desirable for cultivatto 
of this country. Lb. 25c. postpaid; by express, 10 lbs. 50c
