TESTED SEEDS FOR THE SOUTHERN PLANTER 
21 
Non-Saccharine Grain Sorghums 
The grain sorghums are more drouth resisting than the 
sweet sorghums and will grow on any kind of land suited to 
corn. Their feeding value is practically that of corn and 
they will usually make more feed per acre. Grain sorghums 
can profitably be grown as a catch crop on stubble lands 
after grain crops are harvested; especially in dry seasons 
when other feeds are scarce. Drouth and heat make them 
stop growing sometimes, but they recuperate when rains 
come and make a crop. Seed of grain sorghums should be 
drilled in at 4 to 6 pounds per acre, varying somewhat 
according to the land and its condition. 
HEGARI (Dwarf)—This variety of grain sorghum was in¬ 
troduced into the United States from the Sudan region of 
Africa in 1908. It greatly resembles the Dwarf Blackhulled 
White Kafir, but the heads are larger. Its stems are thicker 
than kafir and more juicy. It grows from 4 to 4% feet and 
matures in 85 to 100 days. It is a safe crop to plant late in 
the season and often outyields other grain sorghums; it is 
a sure feed crop. Not prepaid, lb., 10c; 5 lbs., 30c; 10 lbs., 
45c; 25 lbs., 75c; 50 lbs., §1.20; 100 lbs., §1.95. 
DARSO—Is a new grain sorghum with a low-growing, 
sweet, juicy stem, showing 12 to 13 per cent of sugar in the 
juice. It has been used to make syrup, but is more satis¬ 
factory as a grain, forage or ensilage crop. The stalks 
being sweet, makes an excellent roughage crop. Stock eat 
the entire stalk. It has become popular as a grain producer, 
many farmers reporting that it has produced almost twice 
as much grain as milo, kafir or feterita. It grows dwarf 
and can be cut with a header. If you grow grain sorghums 
don’t fail to give Darso a trial. Not prepaid, lb., 10c; 5 lbs.,

SHALLU OR EGYPTIAN WHEAT—The grain grows 
something like Broom Corn. It stools out from the root, 
making from three to six stalks. It has been planted in 
almost every section of Texas and has produced splendid 
crops. It is very productive, making an enormous yield of 
grain and fodder. It is very productive, making an enormous
