MILLETS AND SORGHUMS FOR HAY AND GRAIN 
MILLETS FOR HAY 
White Wonder Millet 
Plant 30 lbs. per acre 
White Wonder Millet is much earlier than 
Golden Millet and almost as early as Siberian 
Millet. 
The foliage is very heavy and the leaves broad, 
resembling those of corn. It produces an im¬ 
mense amount of excellent fodder which cures 
very readily. Per lb., 20c; 50 lbs., $3.95; 100 
lbs!, $7.45; 500 lbs., $36.75. 
The New Siberian Millet 
Plant 30 lbs. per acre. 
The most wonderfully productive and satis¬ 
factory forage plants, possessing in a superior 
degree all the essential merits of any of the older 
sorts, besides many other points of excellence 
that distinguish it and render it a most valuable 
addition to the list of forages. 1 lb., 20c; 50 lbs., 
$3.75; 100 lbs., $6.95; 500 lbs., $33.75. 
German Millet 
Sometimes called Golden Millet. Few other 
grasses or forage plants have been able to pro¬ 
duce the enormous yields of this plant. It has 
produced four to five tons of hay to the acre 
and from seventy to eighty bushels of seed. 
It may be sown on newly broken ground in 
the spring and as late as July. Leaves the 
ground in excellent condition for the following 
crop. Plant thirty pounds to the acre. 1 lb., 
20c; 50 lbs., $3.95; 100 lbs., $7.45; 500 lbs., 
$36.75. 
Japanese Millet 
Plant 20 lbs. per acre 
It has been sold under different names, as "Bil¬ 
lion Dollar Grass," "Steel Trust Millet," etc. 
We recommend it for the following reasons: 
First, it makes more hay than German Millet 
or any other. Second, although it grows so 
large, sometimes seven or eight feet high, the 
hay is of the most excellent quality, superior to 
corn fodder. Third, it is adapted to all sections 
and a great success wherever tried. It does well 
on low ground. Fourth, two crops a season may 
be cut from it. 1 lb., 20c; 10 lbs., 95c; 50 lbs., 
$3.65; 100 lbs., $6.75; 500 lbs., $33.00. 
MILLETS 
FOR HAY AND GRAIN 
Professor Hansen’s Siberian 
Proso 
It will yield well on the driest upland in the 
driest years in all our western states. When it 
is hulled and cooked for the table the Russians 
call it Kasha, and it is very extensively used in 
European Russia, Siberia, Turkestan, Mongolia, 
and other parts of Asia, especially the driest 
regions. 
For feeding stock, poultry, and everything of 
that kind Proso is equal to or better than wheat. 
Proso is also specially valuable as a summer 
catch crop, something that can be planted very 
, late. It can be .planted as late as July 15th and 
still mature a crop of grain and hay. 
Sow 20 pounds per acre. 1 lb., 20c; 10 lbs., 
75c; 25 lbs., $1.40; 50 lbs., $2.50; 100 lbs., 
$4.85; 500 lbs., $23.50. 
Early Fortune or Red 
Hog Millet 
This has come to be one of the most valuable 
crops that the farmer can raise, the seed being 
the richest and most valuable stock food that 
can be produced, while the hay is very valuable 
for stock. A very much prized peculiarity of 
this millet is that the seed ripens while the hay 
is yet green, when, if cut properly, can be thrashed 
for seed, while the hay makes excellent fodder 
after being threshed. 1 lb., 20c; 50 lbs., $2.50; 
100 lbs., $4.80; 500 lbs., $23.25. 
D. B. Gurney In His Field of Wheatland Milo 
Wheatland Milo 
This variety was originated by the U. S. Dept, 
of Agriculture at Woodward, Oklahoma. It is a 
cross of Kaffir and Milo, and we believe it will 
outyield either of its parents. Wheatland Milo 
was developed to give the wheat farmers of 
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas a grain sorghum 
that could be harvested with their regular grain 
machinery. It grows about 30 inches tall and 
can be harvested either with a binder, header or 
combine. Medium early. Wheatland Milo has 
made yields of nearly 100 bushels per acre. D. B. 
Gurney planted 60 acres on his farm this year 
and, in spite of dry weather, had a very satis¬ 
factory yield. Plant from 2 to 4 lbs. per acre in 
rows using a cane plate and cultivate. 1 lb., 25c; 
5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.30; 25 lbs., $2.45; 50 lbs., 
$4.25; 100 lbs., $8.20. 
GROHOMA 
This new dry-weather forage plant of the 
Kaffir family has made a good crop of fodder and 
seed when Corn was a total failure and even 
Kaffir, Milo and Cane made only half a crop. 
Grows from 6 to 10 feet high with leaves clear 
to the bottom of the stalks. The heavy heads 
are nearly a foot long and sometimes weigh 1 
lb. each. There are record yields of over 100 
bushels per acre. 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs., 
95c; 25 lbs., $1.95; 50 lbs., $3.45; 100 lbs., 
$6.00; 500 lbs., $29.40. 
Freed 
This is the earliest of the sorghums, ripening 
at least 10 days earlier than Feterita, and is very 
valuable on account of its earliness. You can 
plant as late as the 20th of June and still raise a 
crop of ripe grain. It grows about 5 feet tall, 
makes fair yields of both grain and fodder. 
1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs., 95c; 25 lbs., $1.95; 
50 lbs., $3.45; 100 lbs., $5.95; 500 lbs., $29.25. 
Dwarf Hegari 
This variety was imported from Africa. Heads 
are shorter and more compact than Kaffir, suck¬ 
ers heavily, and makes high yields of both grain 
and forage. Medium early. It grows from 4 to 5 
feet tall. 1 lb„ 20c; 5 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs., 95c; 
25 lbs., $1.95; 50 lbs., $3.45; 100 lbs., $5.95; 
500 lbs., $29.25. 
Atlas Sorgo 
This is a cross between Cane and Kaffir, re¬ 
taining the sweet stalk and high forage yield of 
the Cane and the high grain yield of the White 
Kaffir. Medium in maturity. The strong stalks 
do not lodge easily, making it easy to harvest. 
Height 7 to 10 feet. 10 lbs., 95c; 25 lbs., $2.15; 
50 lbs., $3.70; 100 lbs., $6.95; 500 lbs., $33.90. 
Feterita 
It is much like Kaffir corn but matures 20 
days earlier. The seed is one-half larger; the 
heads plumper and better filled; grows about 6 
feet tall. 
It will produce a crop on probably less mois¬ 
ture than any farm crop. 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs.. 55c; 
10 lbs., 95c; 25 lbs., $1.95; 50 lbs., $3.45; 100 
lbs., $6.00; 500 lbs., $29.40. 
Milo Maize 
Grows from 5 to 7 feet high, stooling from the 
ground, sending out heads of great size, often 
weighing three-quarters of a pound. Cattle, 
horses, and hogs will eat it readily. Tests show 
that during the severe drought corn dried up 
within a few feet of it. Five to ten pounds will 
plant an acre. 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 50c; 10 lbs., 85c; 
25 lbs., $1.45; 50 lbs., $2.45; 100 lbs., $4.50; 
500 lbs., $21.25. 
Sunrise Kaffir 
A New Kaffir With a Sweet Stalk 
This is a new Kaffir, which has been developed 
at Woodward, Oklahoma. It has rather small 
heads and small kernels, but the yield of grain 
is very high. 
Plant Sunrise Kaffir and get the double 
benefit of a heavy yield of White Kaffir grain 
and an abundance of fodder almost as sweet as 
sorgum. 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 50c; 10 lbs., 85c; 
25 lbs., $1.45; 50 lbs., $2.45; 100 lbs., $4.75; 
500 lbs., $23.50. 
Kaffir Corn 
Grows from 5 to 7 feet high, making a straight 
upright growth with enormous wide leaves. For 
the grain sow in rows three feet apart, three to 
four pounds of seed to the acre. For fodder sow 
50 lbs., either broadcast or in drills. 1 lb., 20c; 
5 lbs., 50c; 10 lbs., 85c; 25 lbs., $1.45; 50 lbs., 
$2.45; 100 lbs., $4.75; 500 lbs., $23.50. 
Cane or Sorghum 
Sorghum (or Sugar Cane) in the West is not at 
all appreciated, and we wish to call the attention 
of farmers everywhere to the great value of 
Sorghum as a fodder crop. Sorghum may be 
made to furnish the principal provender for 
cattle and horses from August until the following 
spring. 
It grows right along through the severest and 
most prolonged drought. 
Early Black Amber Cane—This popular and 
well known variety is the earliest. 10 lbs., 95c; 
25 lbs., $2.05; 50 lbs., $3.60; 100 lbs., $6.75; 500 
lbs., $32.90. 
Dakota Grown Amber Cane — We haye 
quantities of cane grown for us each season in 
Dakota, and while we do not claim better yields 
for it than other canes, we do claim earliness 
and drought-resistant features over other canes. 
1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs., 95c; 25 lbs., 
$2.15; 50 lbs., $3.70; 100 lbs., $6.95; 500 lbs., 
$33.90. 
Mixed Fodder Cane 
For those who wish to plant cane for fodder, 
this mixed cane will answer the purpose and save 
you some money in the cost of seed. 50 lbs., $3.10; 
100 lbs., $6.00; 500 lbs., $29.50. 
Millet May Be Planted 
as Late as July 15th 
Plant Sorghums From One to Two Inches Deep After the Ground Is Warm
