T. W WOOD & SONS. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA 
SORGHUM AND SUGAR CANE 
CULTURE — Plant when the ground becomes thoroughly warm, 
say two weeks after corn planting, in rows sy 2 to 4 feet apart, and 
cultivate as you would corn. Will make a satisfactory crop on any 
well-drained soil that will produce a good crop of corn or wheat. 
May be cut or pastured after the flowering stage is passed, but not 
earlier. Sorghum may be grown with cowpeas and soja beans, 
either in rows or broadcast. 
Showing Heavy Tonnage of Sorghum rodder 
Plant about 8 to 10 pounds per acre for forage. When growing 
sorghum for syrup, plant 6 to 8 pounds per acre; thin out to stand 
10 to 12 inches apart, and cut just before the heads ripen. Ferti¬ 
lizer requirements same as corn, 400 to 600 pounds per acre of 
Wood’s Standard Corn Fertilizer (12-2-4). Bushel weighs 50 lbs. 
SORGHUMS FOR SYRUP 
They Also May Be Used for Forage 
Sugar Drip Sorghum 
Since we introduced this variety several years ago no new sor¬ 
ghum has been brought out that can compare with it in yield of 
syrup. It makes a large, juicy and succulent growth. It will yield 
about 65 per cent of the weight of the cane in juice when extracted 
by a good farm mill; a stronger mill should extract as much as 75 
to 80 per cent. Particularly well adapted for Virginia, the Pied¬ 
mont and mountain sections of the Carolinas and states North and 
West. By mail postpaid, lb. 25c; 5 lbs. 75c; 10 lbs. $1.35; 25 lbs. 
$2.65; 50 lbs. $5.15. 
Not postpaid, lb. 15c; 5 to 24 lbs. 10c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 8c per lb.; 
100 lbs. and over 714 c per lb. No charge for bags. 
Texas Seeded Ribbon Cane 
Whether you grow it for syrup, for ensilage or for feeding, you 
will like it. It makes syrup of a bright amber color and fine flavor. 
The syrup yield is good, frequently from 175 to 200 gallons to the 
acre. As it grows 10 to 12 feet tall, with an abundance of fodder, 
it makes a most economical ensilage, filling the silo at a minimum 
of cost. A particularly popular syrup cane and splendidly suited 
for the Southern States. By mail postpaid, lb. 25c; 5 lbs. 75c; 10 lbs. 
$1.35; 25 lbs. $2.65; 50 lbs. $5.15. 
Not postpaid, lb. 15c; 5 to 24 lbs. 10 c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 8 c per lb.; 
100 lbs. and over 7V 2 c per lb. No charge for bags. 
THE ABOVE SORGHUMS ARE PROFITABLE CROPS 
TO GROW FOR SEED PRODUCTION 
SORGHUMS FOR FORAGE ONLY 
Early Orange Cane 
Our Earliest Yielding Fodder Cane 
About ten days later than Early Amber Cane, but makes a taller 
and more leafy growth. It is recommended for fodder, of which it 
yields immense crops, frequently two cuttings a season, and stool- 
ing out thicker after cutting. Orange Cane is particularly recom¬ 
mended for early plantings in Virginia and general plantings in the 
Southern States. Will make a larger growth and more saccharine 
content than Amber Cane. It may be grown with soy beans and 
cowpeas as recommended for Early Amber Cane, and the quantity 
to plant an acre is the same. By mail postpaid, lb. 22c; 5 lbs. 65c; 
10 lbs. $1.15; 25 lbs. $2.30; 50 lbs. $4.40. 
Not postpaid, lb. 12c; 5 to 24 lbs. 8 c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 6 V 2 C per lb.; 
100 lbs. and over 6 c per lb. No charge for bags. 
Kaffir Corn 
Kaffir corn yields heavy crops of the very 
best forage; it adapts itself to a wide variety 
of soils; a long, dry spell may stop its 
growth, but it starts again with the first 
rain; its deep root growth enables it to stand 
drought and to withstand windstorms It 
may also be grown with soy beans or cow¬ 
peas, sowing 15 lbs. Kaffir corn with a bushel 
of either soy beans or cowpeas to the acre 
broadcast. The grain as well as the plant 
makes fine feed for stock, hogs, poultry and 
pigeons. Feed it either whole or ground, dry 
or with water or skimmed milk. Sown alone, 
3 pecks to a bushel broadcasts an acre; in 
drills 6 to 8 lbs. plants an acre in 3% foot 
rows. Plant from after the ground is thor¬ 
oughly warm till early in June. By mail 
postpaid, lb. 20c; 5 lbs. 55c; 10 lbs. 95c; 
25 lbs. $1.80; 50 lbs. $3.40. 
Not postpaid, lb. 10c; 5 to 24 lbs. 6c per lb.; 
25 to 99 lbs. 414 c per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 4c 
per lb. No charge for bags. 
Milo Maize 
A wonderfully drought-resistant non-sac¬ 
charine sorghum that makes a thick succu¬ 
lent growth of nutritious milk-producing 
forage. It stools from the ground and shoots 
from the joints. The plant makes fine feed 
and ensilage, especially when mixed with 
soy beans or cowpeas, and the grain is fat¬ 
tening for cattle and poultry. For fodder 
and ensilage cut when in the dough state; 
at this stage it has a feeding value practi¬ 
cally equal to corn. Any good corn land will 
bring milo maize either for green feed, dry 
fodder or for the grain. It grows on all soils 
from sandy to heavy clay loam. Plant in 3 
foot rows after the ground is thoroughly 
warm, and give it the same cultivation you 
would corn. 6 to 8 lbs. will plant an acre. 
By mail postpaid, lb. 20c; 5 lbs. 55c; 10 lbs. 
95c; 25 lbs. $1.80; 50 lbs. $3.40. 
Not postpaid, lb. 10c; 5 to 24 lbs. 6c per lb.; 
25 to 99 lbs. 4y 2 c per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 4c 
per lb. No charge for bags. 
Early Amber Cane 
One of the earliest sorghums and furnishes 
a large yield of most nutritious forage which 
may be fed either green or cured. If planted 
early, it will yield two cuttings a season, 
stooling out thicker each time it is cut. If 
grown with cowpeas or soybeans, the quality 
of the hay is improved and a more nearly 
balanced ration may be had. The propor¬ 
tions recommended are 15 pounds Early Am¬ 
ber Cane, % bushel of soy beans and 1 bushel 
cowpeas to the acre broadcast. Grows 10 to 
12 feet high. Sow broadcast 1 to 1 % bushels 
to the acre; 5 to 6 pounds plants an acre in 
3% to 4-foot rows. By mail postpaid, lb. 25c; 
5 lbs„ 70c; 10 lbs. $1.25; 25 lbs. $2.40; 50 lbs. 
$4.65. 
Not postpaid, lb. 15c; 5 to 24 lbs. 9c per lb.; 
25 to 99 lbs. 7c per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 6*4c 
per lb. No charge for bags.
