SORGHUMS FOR GRAIN AND FODDER 
ANOTHER DRY YEAR HAS JUST PASSED 
The farmers who planted cane and grain sorghums have 
watched these plants survive the dry, hot summer then begin 
to grow as soon as the fall rains started. In many cases 
they were able to keep most of their stock with this extra 
feed and did not have to sell at the low prices prevailing last 
fall. Every stock man I have asked said he wished he had 
planted more cane sorghum or Sudan. 
WE MAY HAVE ANOTHER DRY YEAR 
Don’t be caught again without a reasonable acreage of 
drouth resistant crops. _

• GROHOMA 
This new dry-weather forage plant of the 
Kaffir family has made a good crop of fodder and 
seed when Corn was a total failure and even 
Kaffir, Milo and Cane made only half a crop. 
Grows from 6 to 10 feet high with leaves clear 
to the bottom of the stalks. The heavy heads 
are nearly a foot long and sometimes weigh 1 
lb. each. There are record yields of over 100 
bushels per acre. 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 60c; 10 lbs., 
85c; 25 lbs., $1.75; 50 lbs., $3.25; 100 lbs., 
$5.90; 500 lbs., $28.75. 
• FETERITA 
' -Much like Kaffir Corn but matures 20 days 
earlier, the seed is larger and the heads better 
filled. Grows about 6 feet tall. The stems are very 
leafy and more slender than the other sorghums, 
making it one of the best for fodder. If you are 
short of grain, plant some Feterita for early feed, 
lib., 20c; 5 lbs., 60c; 10 lbs., 85c; 25 lbs., $1.50; 
50 lbs., $2.50; 100 lbs., $4.75; 500 lbs., $23.00. 
• EARLY BLACK AMBER CANE 
The earliest and best Cane for the North. 
Grows from 5 to 7 feet tall and matures in 90 
days. The stalks are very leafy, slender and eas¬ 
ily cured. They are so sweet that all livestock 
relishes cane more than most other rough feed, 
and will clean it up down to the last stem. 1 lb., 
15c; 5 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs., 75c; 25 lbs., $1.35; 50 
lbs., $2.20; 100 lbs., $3.90; 500 lbs., $18.75. 
• KAFFIR CORN 
Grows from 6 to 8 feet high, making a straight 
upright growth with enormous wide leaves. 
Excellent yielder. Matures in about 120 days. 
1 lb., 15c; 5 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs., 75c; 25 lbs., $1.20; 
50 lbs., $1.90; 100 lbs., $3.55; 500 lbs., $17.00. 
Plant sorghums for grain at the rate of 3 to 5 
pounds per acre. For fodder, use 10 pounds per 
acre in rows, and from 50 to 75 lbs. broadcast.

• JAPANESE MILLET 
We recommend it for the following reasons: 
First, it makes more hay than German Millet 
or any other. Second, although it grows so large, 
sometimes seven or eight feet high, the hay is the 
most excellent quality, superior to corn fodder. 
Third, it is adapted to all sections and a great 
success wherever tried. It does well on low 
ground. Plant 20 lbs. per acre. Fourth, two 
crops a season mav be cut from it. 1 lb., 20c; 
10 lbs., 75c; 50 lbs., $2.15; 100 lbs., $3.85; 
500 lbs., $18.75. 
• SIBERIAN MILLET 
A wonderfully productive hay millet. It never 
grows as coarse as the German, making a better 
quality hay. It grows about 3 feet tall and is the 
earliest of the millets. Plant 30 pounds per 
acre. 1 lb.. 20c; 10 lbs., 75c; 50 lbs., $2.15; 
100 lbs., $3.85; 500 lbs., $18.75. 
• GERMAN MILLET 
Few grasses or plants will ever make the 
enormous vields of hay and seed produced by the 
German Millet; 4 or 5 tons of hay and 60 or 70 
bushels of seed per acre have been reported. It 
may be planted as late as July 1st and still ma¬ 
ture. Plant 25 pounds per acre. 1 lb., 20c; 
10 lbs., 75c; 50 lbs., $2.15; 100 lbs., $3.85; 500 
lbs., $18.75.

• WHEATLAND MILO 
It grows about 30 inches tall and can be har¬ 
vested either with a binder, header, or combine. 
Medium early, it has made yields of nearly 100 
bushels per acre; even in dry weather the yield 
is satisfactory. 
Plant 5 pounds per acre in rows using a cane 
plate, and cultivate. Matures in about 100 days. 
1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs., 80c; 25 lbs., 
$1.35; 50 lbs., $2.20; 100 lbs., $3.90; 500 
lbs., $18.75. 
• DWARF HEGARI 
The heads are shorter and more compact than 
Kaffir, suckers heavily, and makes high yields 
of both grain and forage. Grows 4 to 5 feet tall. 
Matures in about 105 days. 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 
55c; 10 lbs., 75c; 25 lbs., $1.35; 50 lbs., $2.20; 
100 lbs., $3.90; 500 lbs., $18.75. 
• ATLAS SORGO 
Combines the sweet stalk and high fodder 
yield of the Cane and the high grain yield of the 
Kaffir. Grows from 7 to 10 feet tall. Produces the 
most and best fodder of any of the sorghums. 
Seed has been very scarce and many other 
inferior sorghums have been substituted for it. 
For this reason, we are offering only State 
Certified seed—which makes it cost more—but 
you are sure to receive genuine Atlas Sorgo. 
Matures in about 125 days. 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 
90c; 10 lbs., $1.40; 25 lbs., $2.95; 50 lbs., 
$5.25; 100 lbs., $10.00. 
• MILO MAIZE 
Grows from 5 to 7 feet high, stooling from the 
ground, sending out heads of great size, often 
weighing three-quarters of a pound. Excellent 
for hogs and cattle. Matures in about 115 days. 
1 lb., 15c; 5 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs., 7Jc; 25 lbs., 
$1.20; 50 lbs., $1.90; 100 lbs., $3.55; 500 
lbs., $17.00. 
FOR HAYand GRAIN 
r 
• PROFESSOR HANSEN'S SIBERIAN 
PROSO 
It will yield well on the driest upland in the 
driest years in all our western states. When it 
is hulled and cooked for the table the Russians 
call it Kasha, and it is very extensively used in 
European Russia, Siberia, and other parts of 
Asia, especially the driest regions. 
For feeding stock, poultry, and everything of 
that kind Proso is equal to or better than wheat. 
Proso is also specially valuable as a summer 
catch crop, something that can be planted very 
late. It can be planted as late as July 15th and 
still mature a crop of grain and hay. 
Sow 20 pounds per acre. 1 lb., 20c; 10 lbs., 
70c; 25 lbs., $1.35; 50 lbs., $2.10; 100 lbs., 
$3.75; 500 lbs., $18.00. 
• EARLY FORTUNE OR RED HOG 
MILLET 
This is one of the most valuable crops that the 
farmer can raise, the seed being the richest and 
most valuable stock food that can be produced. 
A very much prized peculiarity of this millet is 
that the seed ripens while the hay is yet green, 
when, if cut properly, it can be thrashed for seed, 
while the hay makes excellent fodder. 1 lb., 20c; 
10 lbs., 65c; 50 lbs., $1.95; 100 lbs., $3.50; 
500 lbs., $16.75.
