Field of Improved Waconia Cane Grown in the North. 
WACONIA ORANGE CANE 
(SORGHUM) 
The Sorghum Cane Seed we offer this year is 
Northern grown, the Waconia strain, the same 
that we have handled in the past but it is Orange 
cane instead of Amber cane. 
Waconia Orange Cane has been recently devel¬ 
oped by selected breeding over a period of 4 or 
5 years and it is a great improvement over the 
old strain of Amber cane. It has a stronger 
germinating seed, better withstanding unfavor¬ 
able growing conditions, grows a much heavier 
but shorter stalk, withstands storms and wet 
weather without lodging and most important of 
all in running tests produces a better quality of 
syrup and more of it per acre.

OLDS' SUDAN GRASS 
1 Sudan Grass is another mighty valuable crop for Wisconsin farmers. Prof. Mortimer, of the WiscotP 
g sin College of Agriculture, thinks more highly of it than ever and he says there is no other crop equal to it 
" for a late pasture and hay crop. He estimates there were between 200,000 and 300,000 acres sown to Sudan 
Grass in Wisconsin the past season. Our sales showed an increase of 50 per cent over 1932. 
Here are five reasons why Sudan Grass is of such great value: 
First—Yield. It makes a heavy yield of hay, outranking all the millets in yield per 
acre. Yields of 2 to 4 tons of cured hay per acre from one cutting are common in 
Wisconsin. Two cuttings a season can often be made. 
Second—Quality. It makes a better quality hay than millet. It makes wonderful 
hay grown with Soy Beans and helps to cure them. 
Third—Late Sowing. It can be sown late, after you are through with your corn, 
or when corn fails. Sow any time from May 20th to June 20th, or even a little later. 
Do not sow too early. It is strictly a warm weather crop and if put in too early 
the seed will rot. Prof. Mortimer now recommends sowing not less than 35 pounds 
of seed per acre and he says a drill is better than a seeder for putting it in. 
Fourth—Drouth Resistant. It withstands long periods of drouth continuing to grow 
when most everything else is dried up. 
Fifth—Quack Killer. It is valuable as a smother crop, especially for quack and 
Canada thistle. 
In addition to all the above five good qualities and most important of all Sudan 
Grass can be pastured. After the hay crop is taken off it makes a fine late pasture 
as it grows up again quickly. Or, it can be pastured all the season instead of being 
cut for hay. Prof. Mortimer says: “It is great for late pasture. Sown the last of 
May or first of June it is ready the middle of July when the blue grass pasture is 
dried up.’’ 
We recommend Sudan Grass most highly. It grows quickly, produces enormously and 
is an easy crop to handle. It is strictly an annual, dying at the end of the season. 
Prices, by mail: Pkt., 5c; lb., 30c. By freight: Lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 65c; 10 lbs., $1.00;
