Our “Old Time 
Chicken Corn” 
We have just what you have been looking for these 
many years; the genuine “Old Time” Southern Chick- 
en Corn. It took us 21 years to secure a stock of this. 
For years we searched the South for it, but no one 
seemed to have it, although everybody knew about it 
and how good it was, but, seemingly, had lost seed of 
it. Five years ago one of our friends sent us some 200 
seeds of it and from that small start we have grown a 
supply suflacient to offer. Our “Old Time” Chicken 
Corn IS a variety of sorghum with rather loose, bushy 
heads, covered with small grains which drop off in a 
scattering manner and are greedily eaten by chickens. 
It is best to sow seed in rows 3 to 4 feet apart, leaving 
2 or 3 plants every 3 feet in the row. It’s best to plant 
near enough to your chicken houses so that they can 
easily range in the patch as the seed begins to ripen 
and fall, letting your chickens do the harvesting. 
Seed heads can also be cut and stored same as sor- 
ghum or KafBr corn for winter feeding. It’s a very 
heavy bearer and will furnish you about the best and 
cheapest chicken feed you can get. Supply still lim- 
ited. Packet, 10 cents; pound, 30 cents; 3 pounds, 75 
cents; postpaid.
