A 
FIELD 
OF 
HEGARI 
A8M SELECTED DWARF MILO MAIZE 
Since the cost per acre of Milo Maize seed is very small, it cer¬ 
tainly 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 cli¬ 
matic conditions are favorable we feel that this is a very conserva¬ 
tive 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'/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 heading grain. Very profitable crop to grow, the 
average yield being 2 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)

BROOM CORN 
Sow 4 to 5 lbs. per acre. Plant in rows 36 to 40 inches apart and 
drop the seed 2 to 3 inches apart. As this crop requires warm nights 
as well as days the best time to plant is April 15 to May 1. The yield 
of straw will run from 500 to 2,000 pounds per acre and after har¬ 
vesting, the balance of the crop makes a very satisfactory silage. 
Ananich Grows to a height of 7 to 8 feet and produces

NON-SACCHARINE SORGHUM 
CULTURE: All sorghums, saccharine or non-saccharine, should be 
sown in rows 30 to 36 inches apart. If irrigated it is necessary to cul¬ 
tivate it after each irrigation. It is advisable to give a shallow cultiva¬ 
tion every two or three weeks until it becomes too large. The sorg¬ 
hum is ready to cut for the silo when the seed has matured. 
If you need forage for your horses, cattle or hogs, sorghum planted 
about April 1 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 1 acre. 
Seed per acre 4-5 lbs.; height 3-5 feet; yield 2,000 lbs. 
grain. Produces an abundance of good forage and cattle 
relish it so much that they will eat stalks and all. It also makes ex¬ 
cellent silage. The plant produces erect kafir-like heads with chalky 
white seeds, (lb. 25c) (10 lbs. $2.00) postpaid. Write for quantity

Dwarf Egyptian Corn 
Seed per acre 6-7 lbs.; height 4 feet; 
yield 2,500-3,500 lbs. grain. This dwarf 
variety is more desirable than the standard variety as it is very uni¬ 
form in height, making it easy to harvest by machinery. Excellent 
for pasture when young. Drill in rows 214 feet apart, (lb. 25c) 
(10 lbs. $2.00) postpaid. Write for quantity prices. 
Feterita ^ eec * f3er acre ^ ^s.; 5-6 feet; yield 5,000-6,000 
. lbs. grain. Will thrive on soil so alkaline that field corn 
will not thrive. If cut and fed green or pastured sow 12 lbs. of seed 
per acre. The seed is more susceptible to cold than other sorghums 
and should not be sown until ground is warm. (lb. 25c) (10 lbs. $2.00). 
SACCHARINE SORGHUM 
Earlv Amber S eec ^ P er acre 5-6 lbs.. The Early Amber has been 
' grown in California for many years and has proven 
entirely satisfactory. It grows 12 feet tall when allowed to mature, 
but it stools to a wonderful extent when cut about every four weeks. 
(lb. 25c) (10 lbs. $2.00) postpaid. Write for quantity prices. 
Seed per acre 5-6 lbs., or if broadcast 40 lbs. This variety 
is very desirable because of the large yield of grain as well 
as enormous growth of forage, (lb. 25c) (10 lbs. $2.00) postpaid.
