FORAGE CROPS 
SUDAN GRASS—The Best Annual Hay 
Crop. Sudan Grass is a slender, fine stem- 
med, leafy plant similar to sorghum. It 
will grow anywhere that corn will. Of all 
the hay crops planted, it is the best and 
surest and the easiest to handle. It can be 
planted in the South any time after April 
first. If sown in drills it requires five 
pounds per acre; if sown broadcast, 20 to 25 - 
pounds per acre. 
OATS (Ferguson 922). An improved strain 
of the rust-proof varieties, but more prolific, 
rust-resistant, stands winter killing. Over a 
period of nine years, it tops the list in yield 
in the Rice Branch Experiment Station tests. 
The seed we offer is of the very highest 
quality and strictly seed stock, is double 
recleaned and weighs from 36 to 38 lbs. per 
bushel—of high germination and free from 
noxious seeds. 
OATS (Fulghum). A rust-proof variety de- 
veloped from the original Red Rust-Proof 
Oat. It is one of the most satisfactory and 
popular oats known. Its productiveness and 
early maturity, probably more than any of 
its. other good qualities, have contributed to 
its wide popularity. They stool out splen- 
didly. Sow 1 to 1% bus. per acre. 
RYE (Southern or Common). There are a 
number of varieties of Rye, but there is 
possibly more of this variety sown than all 
others combined. We carry a full stock for 
fall planting; however, it does well if plant- 
ed in the spring. Sow 1 bu. per acre. 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE. A cheaply grown 
pasturage for sheep, hogs, cattle and poul- 
try. Plants resemble kale but grow much 
larger leaf. Like kale, it stands a great 
amount of cold weather. Will attain its 
growth in about six to eight weeks. Can 
be planted either in spring or fall at the 
rate of 6 to 8 pounds per acre, broadcast. 
Refer to green list for prices. 
BUCKWHEAT (Japanese). Sown largely 
for bees. The blooms produce excellent 
honey. Sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre. Re- 
fer to green list for prices. 
BARLEY (Winter Beardless). A hardy va- 
riety of Barley developed in the South, 
adapted to fall planting for winter and 
spring grazing. As a winter pasture it has 
few equals. Has a very high nutritious 
feeding value, tender and much relished by 
all kinds of stock. As a milk producer it 
ranks high. The grain in feeding value is 
equal to corn. We recommend to our farm- 
ers, and especially dairymen, who have never 
planted Barley to try a small acreage this 
year. Sow 1% to 2 bushels per acre. 
MILLET 
MILLET (Lee’s Golden). This is the big- 
headed type, a variety we have specialized 
in for many years. Unlike the Western 
Millet, it grows much larger and produces 
a larger crop of nutritious hay. Should be 
eut when coming to flower. It makes a 
crop in about 60: days and can be sown as 
late as July. Sow broadcast at the rate of 
one bushel (50 lbs.) per acre. 
CANE FOR FODDER 
SACCHARINE TYPES FOR FORAGE 
EARLY ORANGE CANE. About ten days 
later than Early Amber but makes a taller, 
larger and more leafy growth. Preferred 
by many growers on account of containing 
more sweetness in the stalk than most 
varieties. 
TEXAS SEEDED RIBBON CANE. Grows 
10 to 12 feet tall, with an abundance of 
fodder, producing heavy tonnage per acre 
ard the best cane for silage. We do not 
offer this seed for syrup purposes. 
NON-SACCHARINE TYPES FOR 
FORAGE 
FETERITA. An excellent drought resistant 
forage crop. Similar to Kafir Corn but 
grows taller, producing larger heads. 
KAFIR CORN (white seeded). Valuable for 
dry-land farming, producing seed in great 
abundance and fattening as corn. 
MILO MAIZE (yellow). A specie of Kafir 
Corn, and planted, cultivated and harvested 
in the same manner. 
DARSO. A new grain sorghum with a low- 
growing, sweet, juicy stem with 12 to 13 
per cent sugar in the juice. Sow 10 pounds 
per acre in drills. 
GROHOMA. A fine medium maturing grain 
sorghum crop that is drought resisting. 
Plant in rows and cultivate like corn or cot- 
ton. Five pounds plants an acre. 
ATLAS SORGO. A nutritious grain fodder 
crop. A cross between Atlas and Sweet 
Sorghum. Grown largely for silage, being 
an enormous producer, frequently making 
15 to 20 tons per acre and growing 12 feet 
tall. Being a hybrid, requiring extra care 
in producing seed. We offer only state cer- 
tified stock. Sow 8 to 10 lbs. per acre. 
HEGARI. The popularity of this valuable 
grain as a grain and forage sorghum is 
fast taking the place of all other non-sac- 
charine sorghums. It compares favorably 
with Red Top and Amber Cane. Its sac- 
charine content is high, and it is very palat- 
able to stock. The uniform and upright seed- 
heads of white grain do not shatter. It is 
drought resistant and in short seasons is a 
sure feed crop. Plant 6 to 8 pounds per acre.
