Hybrid Field Corn 
Jacques Proven Hybrids 
WISCONSIN AND MINNESOTA GROWN 
Matures from 85 to 120 Days 
Select a Hybrid that will mature at about the same time 
as the open polinated Corn that you have been planting. 
Hybrids will mature slightly earlier and will yield more. 
If Hybrids are wanted for ensilage, select a Hybrid five 
to ten days later maturing than if wanted for grain. 
Sweet Sorghums 
CULTURE—For forage crops, sow 50 to 75 pounds per 
acre; for grain 5 to 6 pounds, in rows and cultivate the same 
as corn. Forage is very palatable to stock. 
BLACK AMBKR CANE3—Is the best known and in 
the favorite on account of its earliness and re¬ 
sistant to drought. 
RED AMBER CANE—Matures later than Black Am¬ 
ber, is taller and more leafy than the Black Amber. 
Postpaid (2 lbs. 45c> (5 lbs. $1.00) (10 lbs. $1.75) 
(25 lbs. $4.00). 
Not Postpaid: Bushel (56 lbs.) ($7.00). 
See Blue Sheet in center of catalog, also inside back 
cover, for descriptions on Hybrid Field Corn.

Corn 
The Broom Corns are distinguished by their dry, pithy 
stalks and by their long, loose, open heads called brush. 
The heads, which are the important part of the crop, are 
used in making brooms and brushes. Plant about June 1st 
in rows 354 feet apart, using about 8 lb. of seed per acre. 
MIXED CANE—This is valuable as a forage crop. 
Do not plant for a seed crop. 
RED OR KANSAS ORANGE—A heavy-yielding vari¬ 
ety grown for forage and silage. It is rather late 
in maturing seed, as it takes from 100 to 110 days. 
SOURLESS OR YELLOW ORANGE—Grows taller and 
more leafy than the Black Amber, but is about ten 
days later. The fodder makes a better stock feed 
and is not as hard on the soil. 
RED TOP OR SUMAC CANE—Very desirable for for¬ 
age as the stalks are sweet and very leafy. The 
seed shells out clean like the grain sorghums and 
is better for feed than other varieties of Cane. 
BLACK SPANISH —This variety is fast supplanting 
all others with growers who market brush. It is 
similar in growth to the Oklahoma Dwarf Ever¬ 
green with the exception that practically all the 
seed grows in a ball on the top of the brush. This 
characteristic simplifies seeding operations and en¬ 
hances the value of the brush. 
Postpaid (5 lbs. $1.00) (10 lbs. $1.75) (25 lbs. $3.75). 
Dry Liand Grain and 
Forage Seeds 
Grain Sorghums 
CULTURE—For forage crops, sow 50 to 75 pounds per 
acre; for grain 5 to 6 pounds in rows and cultivate the same 
as Corn. Forage is not quite as palatable for stock as the 
Sweet Sorghums. 
WHITE KAEIR (Dwarf Black Hull) —Usually 
grows 5 to 6 feet tall in the dry land areas. Heads 
are heavy and compact, 10 to 14 inches long with 
black hulls and white seeds. The grain‘makes good 
feed for poultry and cattle. 
HEGARI —This is one of the earliest maturing of 
the grain sorghums. It is very similar to Kafir. 
The grain is nearly equal to corn in feeding value. 
The stalks are leafy and make excellent fodder. 
MILO (Sooner or Sixty Day)—A non-saccharine sor¬ 
ghum of high feeding value. This is the plant that 
is being so largely raised for its grain in the dry 
plains of eastern Colorado and western Kansas. 
The seed is larger than the seed of Kafir and not 
as hard and equal to corn in feeding value for 
stock and poultry. 
MILO (Wheatland) —One of the best grain sorghums, 
developed by the Kansas Agricultural College. 
Extremely dwarf in habit, making it easy to com¬ 
bine, very drought resistant and a heavy yielder 
of excellent grain, equal in feeding value to corn. 
PETERITA —Is the earliest and most drought resist¬ 
ing of the grain sorghums. The seed is larger than 
the seed of Kafir or Milo and not so hard. Should 
not be planted until the weather is warm, as it will 
rot before sprouting if the soil is cold and wet. 
GROHOMA —Is a drought-resistant plant, stalks 
growing from 454 to 5 feet tall with grain head 
10 to 18 inches long. It is a Sugar Cane with 
Kafir heads growing on it. The stalks are very 
leafy, making an abundance of fodder. Grohoma 
grain and fodder are rich in protein. Recom¬ 
mended for fodder only in northern latitudes. We 
offer choice recleaned seed. 
PRICES ON GRAIN SORGHUMS—Postpaid (5 lbs. 
60c) (10 lbs. $1.00) (25 lbs. $2.00). 
RIBBON CANE —This is a superior variety for fod¬ 
der and ensilage purposes. The stalks grow tall 
and are very leafy. A very heavy yielder of suc¬ 
culent forage. 
COES SORGO —Is a Kafir-headed sorgo with a long, 
compact head and fine sweet stem, high in sugar 
contents. Suckers profusely making large quanti¬ 
ties of fine leafy feed. The grain is equal in feed¬ 
ing value to Kafir. 
ATLAS SORGO —Is a large late forage sorghum de¬ 
veloped by the Hays, Kansas, Experiment Station. 
It is drought resistant, produces big yields under 
favorable conditions and is similar to Kansas 
Orange in grow;th habit. It is a sweet Sorghum 
and will produce a good tonnage of forage in this 
section. 
Any Variety Postpaid (5 lbs. 66c) (10 lbs. $1.00) 
25 lbs. $2.00).
