FARM SEEDS 
A & M SELECTED DWARF MILO MAIZE 
The Heaviest Yielding Maize Grown—Specially Selected by Us for Years 
Since the cost per acre of Milo Maize Seed is very small it certainly pays to secure the best seed obtainable 
Where the soil is properly prepared it requires but 3 to 4 lbs. per acre, therefore, the cost of seed would be but a 
few cents, hence Milo Maize Seed should be considered entirely from the quality standpoint. Yield of grain per acre 
is what you want and you cannot afford to experiment on strains that are being grown by inexperienced growers. 
Being of uniform height it may be harvested by machinery but, if harvested by hand, the large heads reduce 
the cost of harvesting. It grows to a height of about 4 feet, is of stooling habit, and individual hills of 5 to 7 stalks 
in a stool each producing a large compact head are not uncommon throughout the field. We have had reported yields 
of two tons of threshed maize per acre and where the soil and climatic conditions are favorable we feel that this is a 
very conservative estimated yield. Very often there is a temptation among farmers and others to save their own 
seed of Milo Maize or to plant seed that has been produced in their own district, but since it is very easily crossed with 
other sorghums this is a bad practice and we advise against it. We produce our seed maize in isolated districts where 
there are no other sorghum crops grown near and by hill and head selection each year, the strain is kept uniform and 
true. Considering again that it requires but a few cents per acre to plant the very best milo maize seed there appears 
to be no good reason why the planter should experiment with untried strains. If you are going to plant Maize, let us 
send you a sample of our seed and quote prices on quantity.

DOUBLE DWARF MILO MAIZE 
This variety of red milo maize is very dwarf, growing only 2 to 2% feet high and has been developed especially 
for convenience and economy in harvesting. It can be cut and harvested by machinery in the same manner as head¬ 
ing grain. Very profitable crop to grow, the average yield being two tons per acre. Sow at the rate of 4 to 5 lbs. 
per acre from April until middle of June. (Lb. 25c) (10 lbs. $2.00) (25 lbs. $4.00) postpaid. Write for quantity prices. 
NON-SACCHARINE SORGHUM SACCHARINE SORGHUM 
Hega 
ri Produces an abundance of good forage, and cattle 
r * relish it so much that they will eat stalks and all. 
It also makes excellent silage. The plant varies from 3 to 5 
feet in height and produces erect kafir-like heads with chalky 
white seeds. Normal yield of grain is about two tons per acre. 
Sow 4 to 5 lbs. per acre. (Lb. 25c) (10 lbs. $2.00) postpaid.

Dwarf F crvnfia n forn This dwarf variety of Egyp- 
Eigypilttll vOill tian corn is more desirable in 
every way than the standard variety. It grows only to a 
height of 4 feet, and is very uniform, making it easy to har¬ 
vest by machinery. Although it is grown chiefly for the foli¬ 
age to pasture when young, it yields 2,500 to 3,500 lbs. of grain 
per acre. Drill in rows feet apart, using 6 to 7 lbs. of seed 
per acre. Very drought resistant. (1 lb. 25c) (10 lbs. $2.00) 
postpaid. Write for quantity prices. 
pAffirifa Very popular on acount of its astonishing growth 
i cicilla after it becomes well rooted. 
Sow 4 pounds of seed per acre drilled two feet apart; by so 
doing it yields 5,000 to 6.000 pounds of grain per acre. The crop 
is sometimes cut when green and fed or pastured and for this 
purpose it is sown 12 lbs. per acre. 
The grain has about the same feeding value as Egyptian Corn 
or Milo Maize. The seed is more susceptible to cold than other 
sorghums, therefore should not be planted so early. 
The second growth stools wonderfully, producing several tons 
of excellent forage for pasture or for ensilage after the seed 
has been harvested. It thrives luxuriantly on soil so alkaline 
that field corn will not thrive. The heads are upright. (Per 
lb. 25c) (10 lbs. $2.00) postpaid. Write for quantity prices. 
CULTURE: AJ1 sorghums, saccharine or non-saccharine, 
should be sown in rows 30 or 36 inches apart, using five or six 
pounds of seed per acre. If irrigated it is necessary to cul¬ 
tivate it after each irrigation. It is advisable to give a shallow 
cultivation every two or three weeks until it becomes too large. 
The sorghum is ready to cut for the silo when the seed has 
matured. 
This variety is very desirable because of the large 
flOney yield of grain, as well as enormous growth of forage. 
It is given special recommendation in the Farm Bureau 
Monthly, and has proven highly satisfactory to all who grow it.

.lti The Early Amber has been grown in Cali- 
.ariy Amoer f 0I -nia for many years and has always 
roven entirely satisfactory. It grows twelve feet tall when 
[lowed to mature, but it stools to a wonderful extent when 
jt about every four weeks.

If you need forage for your horses, cattle or hogs. Sorghum 
planted about April 1st will furnish you the best feed in the 
shortest space of time. One-half acre will feed four head 
of stock all summer if only enough is cut each day for one 
day's need. In this way one can cut continuously all summer. 
As much as 40 tons may be cut from one acre.
