1934 SPRING AND FALL THE HOUSE OF GURNEY, INC. YANKTON, SOUTH DAKOTA 
MILLETS FOR HAY 
White Wonder Millet 
The yield of White Wonder Millet is very 
heavy and this variety will yield fully half again 
as much as tJolden Millet and some growers 
state that it will outyield other millets three to 
one. 
Another very desirable feature is its earliness. 
White Wonder Millet is much earlier than Gold¬ 
en Millet and almost as early as Siberian Millet. 
The foliage is very heavy and the leaves broaa, 
resembling those of corn. It produces an im¬ 
mense amount of excellent fodder which cures 
very readily. Per lb., 20c; 50 lbs., $1.55; 100 
lbs., $2.65; .500 lbs., $12.75. 
The New Siberian Millet 
The most wonderfully productive and satis¬ 
factory forage plants, possessing in a superior 
degree all the essential merits of any of the older 
sorts, besides many other points of excellence 
that distinguish it and render it a most valuable 
addition to the list of forages and which destines 
it to take front rank if not lead all the rest. 
1 lb., 20c; .50 lbs., $1.55; ICO lbs., $2.65; 500 
lbs., $12.75. 
German Millet 
Sometimes called Golden Millet. Few other 
grasses or forage plants have been able to pro¬ 
duce the enormous yields of this plant. It has 
produced four to h\e tons of hay to the acre 
and from seventy to eighty bushels of seed. 
It may be sown on newly broken ground in 
the spring and as late as July. Leaves the 
ground in excellent condition for the following 
crop. Plant thirty pounds to the acre. 1 lb., 
20c; 50 lbs., $l.l5; 100 lbs., $2.65; 500 lbs., 
$12.75. 
Japanese Millet 
It has been sold under different names, as "Bil¬ 
lion Dollar Grass," “Steel Trust Millet,” etc. 
We recommend it for the following reasons: 
First, it makes more hay than German Millet 
or any other. Second, although it grows so 
large, sometimes seven or eight feet high, the 
hay is of the most excellent quality, superior to 
corn fodder. Third, it is adapted to all sections 
and a great success wherever tried. It does well 
on low ground. Fourth, two crops a season may 
be cut from it. 1 lb., 20c; 10 lbs., 75c; 50 lbs., 
$2.60; 100 lbs., $4.70; 500 lbs., $23.00. 
A Head of Feterlta 
Sudan Over 7 Feet High 
SUDAN GRASS 
Plant from 20 to 30 lbs. per acre. Can be 
cut twice a year and under good conditions will 
yield 4 tons of dry hay per acre. 
Sudan Grass was introduced into the United 
States in 1909 from Sudan under the name of 
Garawi. The Department of Agriculture reports 
Sudan Grass of the greatest value in the Central 
States, and especially in the parts of Texas, 
Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska and Colorado that 
are deficient in rainfall. These dry regions have 
no other satisfactory hay crop and Sudan Grass 
is of immense value there. 
Sudan Grass is tall, reaching a height of from 
7 to 9 feet. The stems are very small and are 
rarely thicker than a lead pencil. The plant 
stools wonderfully and produces, under favorable 
conditions, as many as 100 stalks from a single 
root. 
Sudan Grass is strictly an annual and dies 
each year. In my estimation its greatest value 
is green pasture for the cows. At about this 
time of the year pastures are dry or only pro¬ 
ducing about one-half feed for the stock pastur¬ 
ing on it. This pasture supplemented by a fair 
acreage of Sudan will keep up the quality and 
quantity of the milk flow. Trv it. 1 lb., 20c; 5 
lbs., 60c; 10 lbs., 90c; 25 lbs., $1.65; 50 lbs., 
$2.95; 100 lbs., $5.15; 500 lbs., $24.75. 
GROHOMA 
This new dry-weather forage plant of the 
Kaffir family has made a good crop of fodder and 
seed when Corn was a total failure and even 
Kaffir, Milo and Cane made only half a crop. 
Grows from 6 to 10 feet high with leaves clear 
to the bottom of the stalks. The heavy heads 
are nearly a foot long and sometimes weigh 1 
lb. each. There are record yields of over 100 
bushels per acre. 
5 lbs., 45c; 10 lbs., 65c; 25 lbs., $1.00; ,50 
lbs., $1.65; 100 lbs., $2.90; 500 lbs., $14.00. 
DWARF BROOM CORN 
The Dwarf Broom Corn stands up better 
than the taller varieties, is practically free from 
crooked brush. The fiber is long and fine and 
commands always the highest market price. 1 
lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 70c; 10 lbs., $1.20; 25 lbs., $2.10; 
50 lbs., $3.80; 100 lbs., $7.20. 
An Orchard on Every Farm 
CANE OR SORGHUM 
Sorghum (or Sugar Cane) in the West is not at 
all appreciated, and we wish to call the attention 
of farmers everywhere to the great value of 
Sorghurn as a pasture and fodder crop, and to 
the particular advantage to be gained by growing 
it. Sorghum may be made to furnish the prin¬ 
cipal provender for cattle and horses from Au¬ 
gust until the following spring. As a summer 
pasture for sheep, a wide field is likely to be 
opened up by it. 
It grows right along through the severest and 
most prolonged drought. 
Early Amber Cane—This popular and well 
known variety is the earliest. 10 lbs., 60c; 25 
lbs., $1.00; .50 lbs., $1.50; 100 lbs., $2.45; ,500 
lbs., $11.75. 
Dakota Grown Amber Cane—We have 
quantities of cane grown for us each season in 
Dakota, and while we do not claim better yields 
for it than other canes, we do claim earliness 
and drought-resistant features over other canes. 
1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 50c; 10 lbs., 70c; 25 lbs., 
$1.10; 50 lbs., $1.65; 100 lbs., $2.90; 500 lbs., 
$13.75. 
BRANCHING YELLOW 
MILO MAIZE 
Grows from 5 to 7 feet high, stooling from the 
ground, sending out heads of great size, often 
weighing three-quarters of a pound, sometimes 
a full pound after ripe. Cattle, horses, and hogs 
will eat it readily. Tests show that during the 
severe drought corn dried up within a few feet 
of it. Five to ten pounds (will plant an acre, 
lib., 20': 5 lbs., 40c; 10 lbs., 60c; 25 lbs., 
$1.00; .50 lbs., $1.50; 100 lbs., $2.45; 500 lbs., 
$11.75. 
FETERITA 
It is much like Kaffir corn but matures 20 
days earlier. The seed is one-half larger; the 
heads plumper and better filled. It is profitable 
for pasture, hay crop, ensilage or grain, and is 
used for feeding cattle, sheep and poultry. Cul¬ 
ture is the. same as for Kaffir corn. 
It will produce a crop on probably less mois¬ 
ture than any farm crop, yielding better, of 
course, with more moisture. But to guard 
against crop failure, you should have a field of 
Feterita each year. 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 45c; 10 
lbs., 65c; 25 lbs., $1.00; 50 lbs., $1.65; 100 
lbs., $2.90; 500 lbs., $14.00. 
SUNRISE KAFFIR (DARSO) 
A New Kaffir With a Sweet Stalk 
This is a new Kaffir, which has been developed 
at Woodward, Oklahoma. It has rather small 
heads and small kernels, but the yield of grain 
is very high. It threshes out more grain than 
will be expected from the appearances of the 
field. 
A very important characteristic of Sunrise 
Kaffir is that stalks and leaves are very sweet, 
being similar to sweet sorghums. The stalks are 
slender and produce more leaves than other 
kaffirs. Therefore, the fodder is not only of ex¬ 
cellent quality, but also produced in large quan¬ 
tities. 
Plant Sunrise Kaffir and get the double 
benefit of a heavy yield of White Kaffir grain 
and an abundance of fodder almost as sweet as 
sorgum. 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 45c; 10 lbs., 65c; 
25 lbs., $1.00; 50 lbs., $1.50; 100 lbs., $2.45; 
500 lbs., $11. 75. 
Kaffir Corn—Grows from 5 to 7 feet high, 
making a straight upright growth with enor¬ 
mous wide leaves. Makes excellent fodder, 
either green or dried, which is highly relished by 
stock. 1 he seed heads form at the top of each 
stalk. For the grain sow in rows three feet 
apart, three to five pounds of seed to the acre. 
For fodder sow SO lbs., either broadcast or in 
drills. I lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 40c; 10 lbs., 60c; 25 
lbs., $1.00; 50 lbs., $1.50; 100 lbs.,$2.45; 500 
lbs., $11.75.
