NICHOLSON'S TESTED Sac ^ a "; ine GRAIN SORGHUMS 
These are used principally for grain, although the leaves are also largely used for forage. The stalk does not contain much sugar like 
Saccharine Sorghums. All are being used to good advantage for ensilage purposes. They have produced excellent results despite the scant 
rainfall, where corn made a failure. 
NICHOLSON'S 
SELECTED HEGARI 
Purity Brand Fancy 
It makes an enormous yie-ld of grain in 
most sections of the State and is more de¬ 
sirable for forage or silage than either Kafir 
or Feterita. It is dwarf in habit of growth, 
producing large heads of white grains that 
do not shatter. Plant 8 to 10 pounds per 
acre. From the demand we had, it looks as 
if this is getting to be the most popular non¬ 
saccharine Sorghum grown. Stands dry 
weather well. Lb., 20c: 2 lbs., 35c, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $1.25. Ask for prices on 
larger quantities. 
Algeria 
ALGERIA OR BISHOP 
KAFIR 
A cross between Maize and Kafir. Livestock 
eat the entire stalk with relish. The stalk is 
sweet, containing a large amount of sugar, 
and grows from 4 to 5 feet tall, with leaves 
about twice the size of Indian Corn and from 
16 to 19 leaves to the stalk. Algeria has a 
corn root, only it goes straight down instead 
of spreading, and will stand dry weather 
well, although it does exceptionally well in 
wet climates. Use about five pounds of seed 
per acre, thinning out to a stand similar to 
corn. It should be allowed to stool before 
working too much dirt to the roots. Lb., 25c; 
2 lbs., 40c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., 
$2.75. Ask for prices on larger quantities. 
DARSO 
Low growing, heavily foliaged, with a large 
stalk, usually tinged with red. Its straight 
stalk is sweet and juicy, showing by chem¬ 
ical analysis to contain 12.76 per cent sac¬ 
charine in the juice, and analysis of the 
grain shows that the composition is very 
similar to that of Kafir. It matures earlier 
than Kafir, which fact has much to do with 
its drouth resistance. Darso makes excellent 
silage, and can be used as a grain, forage 
or silage crop. It has given splendid results 
in Texas. We recommend it highly. Lb.. 20c: 
2 lbs., 35c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., 
$1.75. Ask for prices on larger quantities, 
titles.

GRAIN SORGHUMS IN FETERITA 
TEXAS 
Texas leads all other States in grain sor¬ 
ghum production, growing slightly less than 
50% of the Nation's crop. This crop ranks 
third in total production and money value 
among crops grown in the State, being ex¬ 
ceeded only by cotton and corn. 
The excellent yield of grain sorghums and 
quality of forage make it an important sup¬ 
plement to the corn crop. 
The above facts are from Bulletin No. 45'9 
of the A & M College of Texas. 
All varieties of sorghum are drouth- 
resistant, and are considered among the sur¬ 
est of dry-land crops. This point alone should 
encourage every farmer to plant at least a 
limited acreage. Grain sorghums are used for 
feeding various classes of stock, including 
horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry. Plant 
a feed crop this year and include the varieties 
of grain sorghums best adapted to your im¬ 
mediate section. 
Feterita is adapted to all sections where 
grain sorghum may be grown. It is drouth 
resistant and is therefore especially well suited 
as a crop under conditions of limited moisture 
—being somewhat earlier in maturity than 
milo maize, and therefore elusive of drouth. 
It responds well under productions to favor¬ 
able growing conditions, being one of the best 
grain sorghums for silage, perhaps, for use in 
the humid regions in the State. 
It makes a large forage growth under humid 
conditions and very frequently sets a good 
crop of seeds, perhaps on account of its ear¬ 
liness. It requires only 4 to 6 pounds of seed 
to plant an acre. Soil should be prepared 
early for planting Feterita, for the purpose 
of storing moisture. 
The grain is somewhat larger than milo 
and is chalk-white in color, which gives the 
matured crop an attractive appearance. Lb., 
25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. Please ask for 
prices on larger quantities.
