Sorghum or Cane 
Cane (Continued) 
RED ORANGE —A heavy-yielding variety grown for forage and ailage. 
It is rather late in maturing seed, as it takes from 100 to 110 days. 
EARLY YELLOW ORANGE —Grows taller and more leafy than the Early 
Amber, hut is about ten days later. Where this has been tried out 
it is being preferred to Black Amber for fodder, as it makes a better 
stock feed and is not as hard on the soil. Horses will eat it up 
clean; stock, leaves, head and all. 
RED TOP OR SUMAC —This variety is very popular in the South and 
Southwest. The seeds are unlike the other varieties of canes, as 
they shell off clean, more like the grain sorghum, and are more de¬ 
sirable for feeding. Red Top plants are very leafy and sweet. It 
makes the most fodder and forage of any of the sorghums, and when 
better known by our Colorado farmers will be more highly ap¬ 
preciated. 
Prices on above varieties of Cane, not postpaid: Lb., 10c; 5 lbs., 40c; 
10 lbs., 60c; 25 lbs., $1.00. 
TEXAS SEEDED RIBBON —Six to eight pounds of seed will plant an 
acre. It is not only best for syrup, but is superior to fodder cane for 
ensilage purposes. The stalks grow from 10 to 12 feet high. Cut 
with the foliage on, it makes the finest ensilage for all kinds of stock. 
It matures early and is ready to cut and grind before frost comes. 
When properly cared for, will make from 2 00 to 3 50 gallons of 
molasses per acre. Not postpaid: Lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 70c; 10 lbs., $1.00; 
25 lbs., $1.50. 
Plant Sorghums for Silage 
As a silage crop Sorghum is more productive than corn, re¬ 
gardless of rainfall, soil, elevation or length of growing season. 
The feed value is approximately the same as corn. 
The result of a five-year test at the Kansas State Agricultural 
College was as follows: Average yield of silage, Sweet Sorghum 
or cane, 18.02 tons per acre; Corn, 11.81 tons per acre; Kafir 
Corn, 11.88 tons per acre. This shows the yield of Sorghum or 
Cane to be 50% greater than Corn or Kafir. 
Millet 
Millet is a wonderful forage and hay crop. It affords a quick, luxuriant growth of hay of good feeding value and 
requires no cultivation. Millet may be fed green or cured. The value of millets for late planting and emergency crops 
after others fail should not be overlooked. They can be planted late in July and still make considerable forage. Sow 
about 30 pounds to the acre. 
WHITE WONDER — A variety which has taken the place of 
common Millet and has qualities superior to other 
varieties. It is early, the heads are very large and long 
and the foliage is heavy yet easily cured. 
WESTERN OR GOLDEN —This is one of the earliest vari¬ 
eties and makes good hay. 
MANTICBA OR HOG— A valuable peculiarity of Hog Millet 
is that seeds ripen while the hay is yet green, which, 
if cut at the proper time, can be threshed for seed, 
while the hay makes excellent fodder after being 
threshed. 
Prices on all varieties of Millet, not postpaid: L 
EARLY FORTUNE OR RED HOG —Very similar to the 
Manitoba or Hog Millet, only the seed is red instead or 
yellow. 
SIBERIAN OR RED RUSSIAN — Earlier, more hardy, rust¬ 
proof, and less liable to damage by insects, an ex¬ 
tremely heavy cropper; stalks tall, and of finer quality 
than any other sort. Best variety for hay. 
BIG GERMAN — This is one of the best forage plants 
grown in this country. Under ordinary conditions will 
produce front 4 to 5 tons of hay per acre, and Trom 5 0 
to 7 5 bushels of seed. When sown early it leaves the 
ground in splendid condition for wheat, 
b., 15c; 5 lbs., 50c; 10 lbs., 75c; 25 lbs., $1.50. 
Broom Corn 
The Broom Corns are distinguished by their dry, pithy stalks and by their long, loose, open heads called brush. The 
heads, which are the important part of the crop, are used in making brooms and brushes. Plant about June 1st in rows 
3/ 2 feet apart, using about 8 lbs. of seed per acre. 
BLACK SPANISH —This variety is fast supplanting all others with growers who market brush. It is similar in growth to 
the Oklahoma Dwarf Evergreen with the exception that practically all the seed grows in a ball on the top of the 
brush. This characteristic simplifies seeding operations and enhances the value of the brush. Not Postpaid: Lb., 15c; 
5 lbs., 50o; 10 lbs., 75c; 25 lbs., $1.50. 
Johnson Grass 
It does magnificently in the North and sometimes makes 4 tons of good hay per acre. The roots of Johnson Grass are 
easily killed by cold weather, and exposure of the roots and late fall or winter plowing will effectually eradicate It 
whenever freezing cold weather occurs. Not postpaid: Lb., 25c; 5 lbs., $1.00; 10 lbs., $1.50; 25 lbs., $3.25.

Registered Seed 
Many varieties of seed grains can be supplied in registered seeds. Registered Farm Seeds are produced by 
members of the “Colorado Pure Seed Growers Association,” under the direct supervision of the Colorado 
State Agricultural College. 
Planting stocks for these pedigreed seeds were in every case developed by a State or Government Experi¬ 
ment Station. 
This seed is put up in 100 pound bags, bearing the authorized Blue Tag Registration Tag.
