ATLAS SORGO 
Atlas is considered by Agricultural Authorities to be one of the 
greatest forage crops developed in the last century. It is a cross 
between Sweet Sorgo and Rlackhull Kaffir. Has made some sen¬ 
sational yields. One farmer reported nearly 23 tons green feed 
per acre. Yields 2 and 3 times as much as Corn in dry seasons. 
Grows 10 to 12 feet tall. Grows on upland or low land. Farmer.^ 
in central Illinois have been growing Atlas the past 3 or 4 years 
and are all excited about it. Farmers farther north have started 
■to grow it. We sell only State Certified Seed because experts can¬ 
not identify it from some other forage seeds. Is late in maturing 
seed. A great drought resister. 
A Very Valuable Crop 
Nothing better for ensilage. It has sweet juicy stalks. More 
palatable than corn. Live stock, especially cattle, will eat it 
stalks and all. They will leave most any kind of hay or feed for 
Atlas Sorgo. Requires warm soil. Plant about 10 to 20 
days after you plant corn. Drill 8 to 12 pounds per acre 
for single row planting. Sow 40 lbs. solid drilled or .50 
pounds broadcast. Cut in fall before first heavy frost. 
Shock like corn.

This is a type of Feterita. Is a 
great drought resisting crop. Grown 
for forage or .seed. Earlier than 
Kaffir. Adapted to a large territory. 
Is a great stooler. It has proven a 
great blessing to farmers in dry sec¬ 
tions. Makes good hay if seeded 
about 75 pounds per acre. Is a big 
yielder of grain. Makes fine feed 
when ground up with other grains. 
Sow late when ground is warm, 
around June 1st. See price list, 
page 32. 
KAFFIR CORK 
wHohSIzc 
This Is the Milo Type 
This is also a member of the Sorghum fam¬ 
ily. The stalks are more slender than the 
Kaffir, but have no juice in them. Milo is 
much earlier than Kaffir. The seed heads are 
much more compact and egg shaped. The seeds are 
flattened. Where seasons are short or a quick 
maturing kind is desired, the Milo or Feterita 
.should be your selection. Milo will also grow 
at higher altitude and with less moisture. 
Grain has good feeding value. 
Milo, Kaffir, Feterita and all similar grains 
.should not be i)lanted until after the ground 
is thoroughly warm. Two or three weeks after 
corn planting is best. Spring plowing 
is preferable because it warms the 
land better. 
The feeding value of these 
various sorghum grains 
■ ' ^ is about equal. 
Milo and Feterita 
are more g e n- 
ei-ally g r o w n 
throughout the 
northern part of the 
Corn Belt, because of 
earlier maturity. Our seed 
is very choice. See page 
32 for prices. 
This is Kaffir Corn type. Is called a sorghum grain 
crop. The stalks are stout and fairly short. Stalks not 
quite as juicy as Cane. The seed heads are 10 to 15 
inches long. For hay, sow 60 to 75 pounds per acre. 
For grain, drill 8 pounds per acre in rows like Corn. 
Stands lots of hot dry weather. Makes excellent poultry 
feed and good for all kinds of livestock, when it is 
ground alone or with other grains. See page 32 for prices.
