Atlas Beats Them All in Minnesota 
Here’s a sample of the way my Atlas Sorgo performed up at Heron Lake, Min- 
nesota. M. B. Wilson who sowed it claims, ‘‘That Atlas is sure wonderful feed. The 
yield is so heavy and the stock like it and never waste it like they do corn fodder.” 
He didn’t say what his yield was, but he’s going to have plenty of feed. 
BY ALL MEANS, SOW ATLAS THIS YEAR 
You just can’t beat this sensational forage crop with anything you’ve ever known. 
Everywhere, Atlas is outyielding corn for fodder 3 to 1 by making 15 to 20 tons 
of fodder or silage per acre. Besides, 
it will grow anywhere, loves drought and is 
something grasshoppers and chinch bugs leave alone. 
+ Pertect Feed 
Besides, just like Wilson said in his letter above, cattle like it because it’s sweet 
and will leave other feed to get it. 
Has feeding value equal to corn. 
to 60 bu. of grain per aere are not unusual, 
Yields of 40 
How To Sow 
There have been lots of questions about how Atlas should be sowed. Best way is 
8 Ibs. per acre using large faucet and large plate with planter running full speed. 
Plant in rows for cultivation. 
Buy Only Certified or Approved Seed 
Much Atlas sold is worthless off type and very poor germinating. That? s why I sell 
only Registered or Affidavit seed—guaranteed high germinating and true to type. 
Take your choice,- but by all means plant Atlas this year. 
Arizona Blue Tag $4.25, 
Registered ATLAS $3.50, Affidavit ATLAS $2.25, all per 100 lbs. Bags free. 
Best Midsummer 
Pasture 
Head and _ shoulders 
- above anything you can 
plant for midsummer 
pasture is Sudan. Can 
be sown anytime from 
the middle of May to the 
middle of June and you 
can turn in on it 6 weeks 
after it’s planted. Makes 
a terrific amount of hay 
that cattle like. 
SUDAN— 

or pasture 
There’s still lots of questions about 
_ the best way to sow Sudan, [I like to use 
25 to 30 lbs. per acre. Don’t sow it deep 
—an inch is enough. And if you can 
pack the seed bed so much the better. 
Our regular ATLAS Sudan is fine— 
and is practically free of cane hybrids, but 
if you want something really fine, plant 
our Sudan.23. It is the SAFEST SUDAN 
KNOWN FOR PASTURE — absolutely 
frees from hybrids. It yields 15 to 25% 
MORE because it has been selected for its 
leafy growth and heavier stooling. Costs 
but a few cents more per acre, but it’s 
more than worth it. Price regular Sudan 
this month only $3.95 per 100. Sudan 23 
$5.95 per 100.

JT have a limited amount of U. 8. 35, 
U.S. 44 and U. S. 13 hybrid (besides the 
regular State Certifieds listed on the price 
list), but not enough to quote them on the

a postcard will bring you prices right

at the same time.

About Millets 
Some folks are confused with the five 
Millets we list. They don’t know the dif- 
ference between them so here’s the in- 
formation, 
German Millet—For Hay. Stands most: 
hot, dry weather. 
Siberian Millet-—For Hay. 
maturing one. 
Billion Dollar Grass—For Hay. Prob- 
ably heaviest yielder. 
Early Forture—For grain—Large seed- 
ed, orange red. Planted extensively 
in S. Dak. and Minn. 
White Proso—Russian importation of 
Prof. Hansen. High yielder of grain 
with high oil and protein content. 
Good chicken and hog feed. 
See enclosed price list for prices. 
Harliest 
Soybeans for Hay—Non-Depleting 
The 1941 AAA is the same as last year 
in that soybeans, taken for hay, are count- 
ed as non-depleting. If for seed, they are 
depleting. 
That brings a lot of questions as to 
which is the best hay bean. Up in the 
northern part of the state they like Mul- 
den for it’s shorter maturing and good 
for hay or beans. South, they like the 
yellow Illini for hay and grain and also 
the Black Wilson and Kingwa for hay. 
Clear south they like the brown Virginia 
and Black Wilson both of which make 
beans and hay. The Kingwa is my favor- 
ite as it is the very erect grower, non- 
shattering and makes a lot of hay—more 
than some of the other varieties.
