NEW LOW PRUSSIC ACID CONTENT EARLY 
BLACK AMBER NO. 39-30-S 
Tins cane, the result of many years of selection and 
breeding by Prof. Clifford Franzke, was introduced 
by the South Dakota Agricultural College, Brookings, 
for the purpose of cutting down as far as possible 
the large death toll of livestock killed every year due 
to eating cane which contained a large per cent of 
prussic acid. Our stock is certified, or grown from 
certified seed. Drilled 10 to 12 pounds per acre. 
EARLY BLACK and RED AMBER —The Ambers are 
the earliest of all the fodder canes. Will stand ex¬ 
tremely dry, hot weather. Considered excellent for 
feeding stock. Sow 40 to 60 pounds broadcast; 
10 to 12 pounds drilled per acre. 
HONEY DRIP —Very similar to Colman Sorghum and 
Red Amber, with stouter, more erect stem and 
usually a higher sugar content. In great favor in 
many districts of South Dakota and Iowa. 
SORGHUM, Kansas Orange —This variety is one of 
the most palatable sorghums, due to its sweet 
content. Stock will clean it all up and not eat 
the leaves and seed head only like they do some 
varieties. We contacted several of our dealers 
and got reports on this variety and without ex¬ 
ception they said that their farmer customers were 
well pleased with it. 
SORGHUM, Disco Sweet. This is a true variety 
of sorghum cane for fodder or syrup. It has every¬ 
thing a good sorghum cane should have. Palat- 
ability, high sugar content, heavy yielding and 
under ordinary growing conditions will be ma¬ 
tured long before any danger of frost. Give it a 
trial, as we thoroughly recommend it. 
SUDAN GRASS 
Do not attempt to sow Sudan grass too early. It 
will not withstand frost. Leave seeding until after 
corn planting. Sudan is the ideal catch crop for 
hay. Broadcast 20 to 25 pounds. Drilled, 15 to 20 
pounds per acre. 
CHEYENNE KAFFIR 
Sometimes Called Sweet-Stalked Kaffir, Has a Sweet 
Stalk and Also Produces Grain 
A combination of grain and forage crop. Will 
grow between 5 and 5 V 2 feet tall, producing a heavy 
crop of forage and seed. Matures in about 90 days 
in an average season.
