CANE SEED 
SACCHARINE 
SORGHUM 
(for fodder) 
As a soiling crop, sorghum 
will always prove of great 
value, since at least two 
crops can be obtained from 
one sowing. Milch cows are 
exceptionally fond of sor¬ 
ghum. It is excellent for 
milk production and a given 
area furnishes a large quan¬ 
tity of succulent food. An 
acre or sorghum yielding 15 
tons of green forage would 
feed 50 head of stock for 10 
days. It should be fed spar¬ 
ingly at first, to avoid bloat¬ 
ing. As a fodder crop it fur¬ 
nishes an enormous amount 
of feed. Sorghum outyields 
fodder corn, producing a rich¬ 
er and more nutritious feed 
of greater value. Thus it will 
be seen that utilized as a pas¬ 
ture, as a soiling and fodder 
crop, it may be made to fur¬ 
nish feed nearly the whole 
year round. 
AMBER CANE 
BLACK AMBER 
The old standard variety es¬ 
pecially adapted to the states north 
of Kansas where early maturity is 
of importance. 
RED AMBER 
A comparatively new variety 
brought from Australia. A little 
later than the Black Amber, but 
more leafy and sweeter. 
If I can send you orders for 
alfalfa this fall, I will do all I 
can for you as I grot an extra 
grood stand from the seed I 
bought from you last fall. The 
best I have ever seen in this 
country.—F. A. Walker, Hydro, 
Okla. 
ATLAS SORGO 
Atlas Sorgo is a pedigreed selec¬ 
tion from a cross between Black- 
hull Kaffir and Sourless Sorgo. 
The advantage of Atlas over Kan¬ 
sas Orange Cane lies in two impor¬ 
tant characters, i. e., stiff stalks 
and white, palatable grain. 
ORANGE 
A heavy yielding variety grown 
for forage, silage, seed, and syrup. 
It is rather late in maturing seed 
as it takes from 100 to 110 days. 
RED TOP or SUMAC 
Grown very extensively in Texas, 
Oklahoma, and southwestern Kan¬ 
sas for fodder. The plants are 
stocky, very leafy, and sweet. The 
seeds are small and therefore a 
bushel will plant a large aoreage. 
SOURLESS 
A variety In western Kansas. It 
is similar to the Kansas Orange, 
not quite so sweet, but less likely 
to sour.
