GROHOMA 
The New Wonder Grain 
As a forage crop it is superior 
to Kaffir, Milo Maize or Feterita. 
It is a sure crop on upland or low¬ 
land—wet or dry season. 
Grohoma has been produced from 
seed for the last six years. It is a 
combination of Kaffir and Seeded 
Ribbon Cane, producing a larger 
head and a larger grain than Kaf¬ 
fir, together with a stalk and fo¬ 
liage far superior to any Sorghum 
ever produced. 
Grohoma has a deep root system. 
After the main head matures, it 
shoots from 1 to 10 branch heads 
from the joints, which mature in 
from 10 to 20 days after main head. 
If the stalks are then cut, the 
plant will stool and then produce 
another set of stalks and a branch 
head, if the season permits. 
It should be planted as soon as 
safe from frost. It is a row crop. 
You can’t afford to be without it. 
Sow about 5 to 10 lbs. of seed per 
acre. 
SAVED $9.75 ON ONE 
BUSHEL OF SEED 
I bought one bushel of 
prime Alsike of you this 
spring and every seed must 
have grown. I never saw a 
better stand. Comparing 
other prices, I have saved 
$9.75 on this one bushel of 
seed.—Wm. Linville, Russell, 
Iowa. 
FETERITA 
This is a comparatively new grain, 
belonging to the sorghum family, 
and introduced from Africa by the 
United States Department of Agri¬ 
culture, has made rapid progress. 
A wonderful drought resister, early 
and heavy yielding, and seems to 
be immune to attacks of insect 
pests. If grown for the production 
of grain, should be sown in rows at 
the rate of 3 to 8 pounds per acre 
and cultilvated, while if sown for 
fodder, should be broadcast at the 
rate of 1 V 2 to 2 bushels per acre. 
KAFFIR CORN 
KAFFIR CORN 
Makes excellent fodder, 
either green or cured. Stalks 
will grow 4 to 5 feet high, are 
very leafy and highly relish¬ 
ed by all stock. If grown for 
seed, will generally yield 
from 35 to 50 bushels per 
acre. If grown for grain, sow 
in rows 3 feet apart, 3 to 5 
pounds of seed per acre, and 
for fodder, broadcast at the 
rate of 1 y 2 to 2 bushels per 
acre. 
RED KAFFIR 
Taller than the white. 
Stalks are more slender, but 
juicy and leafy. The seed is 
small, rather hard and brit¬ 
tle. Does well on poor land 
and ripens a little earlier 
than the white. 
Dwarf Black Hull 
WHITE KAFFIR 
Has several advantages 
over the Standard. Being a 
dwarf, it is better adapted to 
withstand dry weather and, 
moreover, can be harvested 
with a grain header.
