ANOTHER DRY YEAR HAS JUST PASSED 
Again we have seen the great value of Sudan Grass, Cane, and August winds, while his sorghums have stayed green 
and Grain Sorghums. The farmer who planted these crops has and started growing again with the first rains. Every stock 
watched his corn wither and turn brown in the blistering July man I have talked to said he wished he had planted more 
Cane, Sorghums, or Sudan. 
WE MAY HAVE ANOTHER DRY YEAR 
Bon*i be Caught Again Without a Reasonable Acreage of Drouth Resistant Crops 
@ GROHOMA 
Matures in about 105 days. 
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., 55c; 10 lbs., 
75c; 25 lbs., $1.45; 50 lbs., 
$2.45; 100 lbs., $4.25; 500 
lbs., $20.50. 
FETERITA 
Matures in about 90 days. 
This is the earliest of the 
grain sorghums and one of 
the best for the North. It 
grows about 6 feet tall. 
The stems are slender and 
very leafy, making it one of 
the best for fodder. The 
large heads are always well filled. The seed is 
white andsomewhat larger and softer than other 
sorghums. Feterita has nearly the same feeding 
value as corn, and in a dry year will outyield corn 
both in grain and fodder. 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 55c; 
10 lbs., 75c; 25 lbs., $1.25; 50 lbs., $2.10; 100 
lbs., $3.50; 500 lbs., $17.00.

Atlas Sorgo—Orange Cane—Grohoma—Feterita—Bert Masker and Tip Seeley of 
Gurney's Seed Department with Sorghums from our-Trial Grounds 
Plants sorghums for grain in rows 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.

ATLAS SORGO (State Certified) 
® EARLY KALO 
Early Kalo has out- 
yielded all other grain sor¬ 
ghums as well as corn at 
the North Platte Experi¬ 
mental Station, over a per¬ 
iod of several years. It 
grows about 4 feet tall. 
The slender leafy stalks 
support medium sized, very 
solid heads. The grain is 
about equal to corn in feed¬ 
ing value, and because of its 
resistance to drought, you 
are reasonably sure of get¬ 
ting a crop every year. I 
consider Early Kalo the 
best grain sorghum for the 
North. Matures a seed 
crop in about 95 days. 1 
lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 60c; 10 
lbs., 85c; 25 lbs., $1.75; 
50 lbs., $3.25; 100 lbs., 
$5.90. 
® EARLY BLACK * 
AMBER CANE 
The earliest and best 
fodder Cane for the North. 
Grows from 5 to 7 feet tall 
and matures in 90 days. 
The stalks are very leafy, 
slender and easily 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 besides the fodder you will get a 
good grain crop, which can be ground and fed to 
any kind of livestock. 1 lb., 15c; 5 lbs., 55c; 10 
lbs., 70c; 25 lbs., $1.10; 50 lbs., $1.75; 100 lbs., 
$2.90; 500 lbs., $13.75. 
© 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 105 days. 
1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs., 75c; 25 lbs., 
$1.25; 50 lbs., $2.10; 100 lbs., $3.50; 500 
lbs., $17.00. 
® 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., 70c; 25 lbs., 
$1.10; 50 lbs., $1.75; 100 lbs., $2.90; 500 
lbs., $13.75. 
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 Certi¬ 
fied seed. In this way, you may be sure of re¬ 
ceiving genuine Atlas Sorgo and not some cheaper 
inferior substitute. This year we are offering 
Atlas Sorgo at about half the last year’s price. 
Atlas Sorgo matures in about 120 days. 1 lb., 
25c; 5 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.20; 25 lbs., $2.30; 50 
lbs., $3.95; 100 lbs,, $7.50; 500 lbs., $35.00. 
• DWARF HEGARI

Kaffir, suckers heavily, and makes high yields 
of both grain and forage. Grows 4 to 5 feet tall. 
Matures in about 110 days. 1 lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 
55c; 10 lbs., 70c; 25 lbs., $1.10; 50 lbs., $1.75;

later than Black Amber. Grows from 8 to 10 
feet tall. The stalks are medium large and very 
leafy. Will produce more silage or fodder per

early enough to mature a seed crop except in the 
extreme North. Matures in about 100 days. 
1 lb., 15c; 5 lbs., 55c; 10 lbs., 70c; 25 lbs., 
$1.10; 50 lbs., $1.75; 100 lbs., $2.90; 500 lbs.,
