All Seeds Are Tested and Labeled for Purity and Germination 
CANE 
A Leading Forage Crop 
A crop that is rich in sugar and iat 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 % 
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 guarantee the crop, but we 
consider our seed equal to if not su¬ 
perior 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 recommend 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. 
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 resister. 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., 25c; 5 lbs., $1.00. See 
page 37 for prices in larger quantities. 
A sorghum grain crop. Used to some extent 
for hfiY. Stalks less juicy than cane and not 
— sweelf; 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 /jfj to 100 lbs. Cut 
off hdads, cure 10 days 
to 2 weeks then thresh. 
Our seed is high germinating. 
Prices are very low on both 
Red and White Kaffir.

Feterlta 
A great drouth resisting 
crop. Earlier than Kaffir. 
Has a higher protein con¬ 
tent. A very heavy pro¬ 
ducer. Grains flat in shape, 
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 
seeded 75 to 100 lbs. per acre. 
For grain about 6 lbs. A 
leader among grain sorghums. 
Postpaid, Feterito or Kaffir 
I lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 75c 
This is a sweet sor¬ 
ghum somewhat similar 
to cane. Very nutritious. 
Valuable for grain, dry fod¬ 
der, ensilage and pasture. 
Yields up to 5,000 lbs. of grain 
per acre and up to 18 tons of en¬ 
silage. Live stock especiall;' 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 
^the amount of seed. For hay 
^drill in close rows at 75 to 
^90 lbs. per acre. Postpaid 
lbs. for 75c. See page 
37 for quantity 
prices.
