Sown in com fields, two to four pounds per acre. The 
turnip grows long. Roots penetrate deeply into the soil 
and bring to the surface fertility that would otherwise not 
become available. Tops are eaten greedily by sheep, hogs 
and poultry. Roots add humus to soil and improve its con¬ 
dition. Sown July and August. See Price List.

Grows five to seven feet tall. Stems bear numerous wide 
leaves. Stalk is brittle and juicy. Makes excellent fodder, 
either green or dry, highly relished by stock. Produces heavy 
crop of seed, 50 to 60 bushels—useful for poultry feed. 
. . . For grain sow in rows three feet apart, sowing four 
to seven pounds seed per acre. . . . For fodder sow a 
bushel per acre, broadcast or in drills. Plant late May or 
early June for grain. . . . Late May to July for forage.

The growth is on the order of corn and rapid. May be pas¬ 
tured by all stock. Feed gradually at first to prevent bloat¬ 
ing. Valuable soiling crop. 
Sorghum may be cut and dried, and fed to all farm live¬ 
stock. Does well all over the East and South. "Early Am¬ 
ber" is the preferred variety. Never pasture after plants 
have been frosted, as a poison then develops that injures 
livestock. 
TIRED LAWNS—THEN WHAT? 
More and more farmers are taking more interest in their lawns. 
You may not be satisfied with the condition of your lawn. Where 
you have sufficient turf, improvement may be effected by a proper 
renovating program. Some of the important factors to be remem¬ 
bered in such a program are here suggested: 
Clean out the weeds and rake out the dead grass. On the bare 
spots sow Hoffman’s Lawn Seed. The seed may be covered by 
rolling, or by scattering screened soil over the seeded areas and 
rolling. 
If your soil is sour, a practical application of lime is 25 
pounds per thousand square feet. Use 25 to 40 pounds of a com¬ 
plete fertilizer and rake in thoroughly. If you have any other 
lawn problems, write us.
