SORGHUMS for GRAIN and FODDER

PLANT SORGHUM 
SWEET STALKED 
SORGHUMS 
EARLY BLACK AMBER CANE: The earliest 
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.

I am writing this to the farmers in the 
dry areas where the corn crop in 1938 was 
a total failure or very poor. When the hot, 
dry weather of July and August came, and 
your corn burned and made-no ears, weren’t 
there fields of Cane and Grain Sorghums 
that stayed green and made a good crop? 
Didn’t you wish you had planted more of 
this grain yourself? 
This is a tiew year, we do not know what 
the weather will be—the mistakes of last 
year cannot be remedied, but we do not 
need to make the same ones again. Play 
Safe—Plant at least half your corn acreage 
to Sorghums. The stalks make good fodder, 
and the grain is nearly equal to com in 
feeding value. 
GRAIN 
SORGHUMS 
FETERITA: Matures in about 90 days. This 
is one of 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 and somewhat 
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.

EARLY ORANGE 
CANE: This sweet 
stalked cane is 
about two weeks 
later than Black 
Amber. Grows 
about 8 feet tall. 
The stalks are me¬ 
dium large and very 
leafy. Will produce 
more silage or fod¬ 
der per acre than 
any crop except At¬ 
las Sorgo, and is 
early enough to ma¬ 
ture a seed crop ex¬ 
cept in the extreme 
North. Matures in 
about 100 days.

KAFFIR CORN: 
More Kaffir Com 
is grown in the 
South than any 
other grain sor¬ 
ghum, because of 
its immense yields 
of grain. Grows 
from 6 to 8 feet 
high, making a 
straight upright 
growth with enor¬ 
mous heads and 
wide leaves. Ma¬ 
tures in about 115 
days.

ATLAS SORGO (State Certified): 
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 State Certified 
seed. In this way, you may be sure 
of receiving genuine Atlas Sorgo and 
not some cheaper inferior substitute. 
Matures in about 120 days.

WACONIA ORANGE CANE: 
This wonderful sweet stalked cane 
was originally developed for SOR¬ 
GHUM MAKING, and is one of the 
best for that purpose. It produces as 
much grain as Atlas Sorgo, and will 
mature at least TWO WEEKS 
EARLIER. It is very leafy, the 
stalks are extra sweet, and all live¬ 
stock like Waconia Orange Cane fod¬ 
der. It grows from 8 to 10 feet high, 
and will outyield Black Amber Cane 
2 to 1 both in grain and fodder. Try 
some now.

SOONER MILO: This extra early 
Milo grows from 3 to 4 feet high, and 
matures in about 85 days. The heads 
are medium sized and very solid. 
Yields of 40 bushels of grain per acre 
are very common even in the dry 
years. One farmer west of the river 
in South Dakota, got 425 bushels 
Sooner from 10 acres, and less than 
300 bushels of com from 40 acres. 
This year he will plant 100 acres of 
Sooner. It can be combine harvested.

WHEATLAND MILO: If you want 
a heavy yielding grain sorghum that 
can be HARVESTED CHEAPLY 
and easily, plant Wheatland Milo. 
It grows from 2 to 3 feet tall and the 
large heads stand well above the 
leaves, making it PERFECT FOR 
COMBINING. It is medium early, 
maturing in about 105 days, and has 
made record yields of nearly 100 
BUSHELS PER ACRE. It will 
stand the drouth. The grasshoppers 
do not care for it, and the grain is 
nearly equal to com for feeding.
