KAFIR 
KAFIR—The uplands of Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas will give much 
better cash returns when planted to Kafir, because when ground for feed, 
gives practically the same feeding value as corn. It does not require very 
much Kafir to seed an acre when drilled in rows 3*4 feet apart. 2 to 
4 pounds of seed to the acre is all you will need. If you want to sow 
the seed broadcast or drill it with a drill for fodder, use 60 to 76 pounds 
per acre. 
DWARF BLACKHULL WHITE KAFIR—Lb. 20c, postpaid; by freight 
or express, lb. 10c; bu. 50 lbs. $1.75. 
HEGARI 
HEGARI—A new grain or forage crop similar to both White Kafir 
and Feterita. It is more desirable for grain than either, as the bad 
qualities of both have been eliminated. Feterita shells out pretty badly, 
and Hegari will not shell. Feterita is soft and pithy, while Hegari is 
solid and sound and with plenty of blades. Its dwarf habit of growth, 
4 to 5 feet in height, and compact heads of large white grains make it 
very attractive. Hegari also produces large crops of grain. The stems 
are rather sweet and horses and cattle eat the stalks, fodder and grain 
if permitted to do so. Lb. 15c, postpaid; by freight or express, lb. 5c; 
bu (50 lbs.) $1.25. 
DARSO 
DARSO is low growing, heavily foliaged, and has a large stalk which 
is usually tinged with red. It is remarkable for its uniformity in height 
and uniformity in shape and color of heads. The stalks are sweet and 
juicy, and chemical analysis of grain shows that the composition is very 
similar to that of Kafir. Darso matures earlier than Kafir, which fact 
has much to do with its drouth resistance. Darso makes excellent silage, 
and can be used for grain, forage or silage crop. Lb., 15c, postpaid; by 
freight or express, lb., 5c; bu. (50 lbs.), $1.25. 
Dwarf Black Hull White Kafir 
MILO 
STANDARD YELLOW MILO MAIZE—Grows 8 to 10 feet high. Per 
lb. 10c, postpaid; by freight or express, lb. 10c; bu. (50 lbs.) $2.00. 
DWARF YELLOW MILO—A dwarf improvement of the old Standard 
Yellow Milo. Grows 3 to 4 feet high, while the old variety grew 8 to 
10 feet. Dwarf Milo is quite similar to the Standard Milo, but the 
heads all invariably bend over from the weight. It is not unusual for 
a head of Dwarf Milo to weigh one pound. The feeding value is the 
same as Yellow Milo. This variety seems to be more popular throughout 
the western plains of Kansas and Oklahoma. Lb. 15c, postpaid; by 
freight or express, lb. 5c; bu. (50 lbs.) $1.20. 
FETERITA 
FETERITA—Grows from 6 to 8 feet high. The plant resembles Kafir, 
but the stalks are much more slender. Feterita should be planted in 
rows three and one-half feet apart and the seed should be dropped from 
eight to fourteen inches apart in the row. When Feterita gets up about 
eight inches high, it branches out from four to ten sucker plants and 
each of these sucker plants grow up the same as the main plant. On 
account of this suckering habit of Feterita it should be planted thinner 
than Kafir or Milo. The first or main seed head ripens 16 to 30 days 
before the heads of the suckers are mature enough for grain. The grain 
is white like White Kafir and about twice the size. Feterita matures 
in from 80 to 90 days from date of planting. Feterita is a great drouth 
resister, and in this respect will withstand continued heat and drouth 
better than either Kafir or Milo. Lb. 15c, postpaid; by freight or ex¬ 
press, lb. 5c; bushel (50 lbs.) $1.25. 
MILLET 
CULTIVATED GERMAN MILLET—Our stock of big German Millet is 
grown in rows and cultivated for seed purposes only. This makes a 
large yielding and most nutritious hay crop, quick growing and easily 
cured. Grows 4 to 5 feet tall with heads 6 to 6 inches long. Per lb. 
20c postpaid; by freight or express, bushel (50 lbs.) $1.50; 10 bushel 
lots, $13.00. Price subject to change without notice. 
During fall months we have large stocks of Northern- 
grown Seed Rye, Southern Abruzzi Rye, Certified Wheat, 
Certified Winter Barley, Austrian Winter Peas, all Clovers 
and Grasses. If interested in Seeds for fall planting we will 
appreciate your inquiries. 
SPECIAL DIRECTIONS ABOUT SOWING—Nearly all 
grass seeds are very small and will not come up satisfactorily 
unless put in properly, and again, most planters will not 
use enough seed to the acre. The soil should be thoroughly 
prepared by deep breaking and thorough harrowing until a 
smooth bed is made, and the ground should be settled 
thoroughly before sowing. After sowing the seed, very little 
covering should be given with a brush or harrow that will 
cover it lightly. If the weather is likely to be dry, the 
ground should be pressed over the seed, so as to bring the 
seed in close contact with the soil to hold the moisture until, 
the seeds get a good start. 
HYDRATED LIME 
An occasional application of Hy¬ 
drated Lime on the lawn will correct 
acidity in the soil. Acid soils are 
usually caused by constant sprinkling 
and very often in shaded places of the 
lawn will be found a surface growth 
of green moss. Hydrated Lime will 
correct this by simply being applied 
on the surface and sprinkled. It 
loosens up heavy soils and prevents 
packing, baking and cracking. It 
promotes the normal decay of organic 
matter in the soil. It requires about 
one-half as much Hydrated Lime as 
any other form of lime to produce 
same results. Price for 10 lb. pkg. 
20c each; 40 lb. bags, 50c.
