All Seeds Are Tested and Labeled for Purity and Germination 
A Leading Forage Crop 
A crop that is rich in sugar and fat and 
very palatable. An enormous yielder pro¬ 
ducing from 10 to 15 tons of excellent 
green feed on rich land. A most remark¬ 
able drought resister. Especially valuable 
in dry hot seasons. Makes a wonderful 
hay crop when sown at the rate of 75 to 
100 lbs. per acre. 
Some farmers get cash out of their or¬ 
dinary hay crops and use cane for their 
own feed supply. A few acres of cane will 
make as much hay as many acres of 
Timothy. Your live stock will relish cane 
hay and fatten on it. You can also pas¬ 
ture cane or cut it for green feed. Makes 
excellent summer and early fall feed. It 
is also used for ensilage. Cane is also a 
good seed producer, yielding 30 to as high 
as 60 bushels per acre. 
How to Handle 
Sow quite heavily for hay or pasture, 
75 to 100 lbs. per acre. Heavy seeding 
makes a finer growth and therefore 
easier to cure. Do not sow until corn 
planting time or after. It is a warm 
weather crop. Drill in close rows, or 
broadcast. Cover about an inch. Can be 
cut and cured like ordinary hay. Takes 
a little longer to cure than ordinary grass 
hay. 
Early Amber. The kind most generally 
grown and of great value because of its 
splendid growing qualities. 
Early Orange. Heavier stalks more 
abundant leaves. Seed head more com¬ 
pact. Heavier yielder but a little coarser. 
To make good sorghum, seed must be pure 
and we take care in getting this seed direct 
from sorghum producers. We do not guar¬ 
antee the crop, but we consider our seed 
equal to if not superior to any on the market. 
Ames Special Sorghum. An improved type 
of the Amber. Makes excellent sorghum of 
fine flavor and color. Very juicy. We rec¬ 
ommend it highly. We are sure you will be 
pleased with it. 
Silver Tip. More after the orange type. 
Makes delicious mild, clear, light colored 
molasses. Ranks very high in favor with 
expert sorghum makers. Produces lots of 
syrup of a superior variety. 
Price, 1. lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs. or more, 11c 
per lb.; 50 lbs. or more, 10c per lb. 
A Cross Between Cane and Kaffir 
Greatest drouth reslster. Very heavy pro¬ 
ducer. Cattle like it. Wonderful feed. ' Grows 
. strong and erect. Most popular forage of re¬ 
cent introduction. Excellent pasture. Drill, 
double rowed using 18 to 20 lbs. per acre. 
Price, postpaid, I lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 75c. See 
page 33 for prices in larger quantities. 
IR. CO 
A sorghum grain crop. Used to some extent 
for hay. Stalks less juicy than cane and not 
sweet. Stands lots of hot dry weather. Makes 
fine poultry feed and suitable for all kinds of 
live stock when ground. Produces up to 40 to 
50 bushels of- seed per acre. For grain drill 
in rows 30 to 40 inches apart using 6 to 8 lbs. 
of seed per acre. For hay drill close or broad¬ 
cast 75 to 100 lbs. Cut 
off heads, cure 10 days 
to 2 weeks then thresh. 
Our seed is high germinating. 
Prices are very low on both 
Red and White Kaffir.

blush white in color. The 
crop is a free stooler. Handle 
like Kaffir. Adapted to a 
large territory because of its 
earliness. Makes good hay if

per acre and up to 18 tons of en¬ 
silage. Live stock especially cattle 
are very fond of it due to its sweet 
taste. It combines the grain pro¬ 
duction of Kaffir and Milo with 
the high forage value of cane. 
For grain production drill like 
Kaffir 6 to 8 lbs. per acre. May 
be double rowed using double 
|fhe amount of seed. For hay 
drill in close rows at 75 to"
