WHITE KAFFIR CORN 
Kaffir Corn yields heavy crops. It 
adapts itself to a wide variety of soils; 
a long dry spell may stop its growth, 
but it starts again with the first rain. 
The grain as well as the plant makes 
fine feed for stock, hogs, poultry and 
pigeons. With cow peas, sow broadcast 
one peck of Kaffir Corn to a bushel of 
peas; sown alone, 3 pecks to a _ bushel 
an acre broadcast; in drills 6 to 8 pounds 
an acre in 3'4-foot rows. Plant from 
after the ground is thoroughly warm till 
early in June. 
ATLAS SORGO 
A cross between Blackhull Kaffir and 
Sourless Carne. Grows 9 to 12 feet tall, 
makes sturdy leafy stalk, juicy and 
sweet. Furnishes tremendous tonnage 
both of forage and grain very similar 
to Kaffir. Plant when ground is warm 
in spring, 5 to 10 pounds per acre. 
GROHOMA 
This new forage and grain crop, after 
thorough trials has been found very sat- 
isfactory. Stock of all kinds like it, in 
fact they eat every particle of the stalk, 
leaves and head. Plant from April ist 
to July ist in good soil. Make rows 4 
feet apart, drop seed 12 inches. Since 
it stools considerably, very little seed is 
required. Plant 4 to 5 pounds to the 
acre. 
YELLOW MILO MAIZE 
A wonderfully drought-resistant non- 
saccharine sorghum that makes a thick 
succulent growth of nutritious milk-pro- 
ducing forage. It stools from the ground 
and shoots from the joints. The plant 
makes fine feed and ensilage, especially 
when mixed with soybeans and cowpeas, 
and the grain is fattening for cattle and 
poultry. For fodder and ensilage cut 
when in the dough state; at this stage 
it has a feeding value practically equal 
to corn. Any good.corn land will bring 
milo maize either: for green feed, dry 
fodder or for the grain. It grows on all 
soils from sandy to heavy clay loam. 
Plant in .3%4-foot rows after the ground 
is thoroughly warm; and give it the 
same cultivation you would corn. Six to 
eight pounds will plant an acre. 
EGYPTIAN 
WHEAT OR SHALLU 
Of special value in dry season; few 
forage plants are more drought-resistant. 
It grows tall, stools out three to six 
stalks from a single root. Cut when at 
the dough stage, and a second cutting 
may be had. For cattle, horses, sheep, 
hogs and poultry, the grain may be fed 
either, whole or ground. Its long grace- 
ful heads make beautiful house decora- 
tions. Plant in drills 3 feet apart, using 
10 pounds of seed per acre; or broadcast, 
using from 2 to 4 bushels.

YIELDS of Forage, Grain and Syrup 

SYRUP CANE 
JAPANESE HONEY RIBBON CANE. 
For making syrup this variety has no 
equal. It has been yielding from one 
hundred to two hundred gallons per 
acre. It makes a syrup of bright amber 
color and of fine flavor. The stalks 
grow from 12 to 15 feet high, the seed 
are carried in a sprangling type head, 
are red, rather flat shaped and most 
of the hulls remain on the seed when 
threshed. With its large foliage makes 
one of the best varieties for ensilage. 
For making syrup, cut just before the 
heads ripen, at which stage the sugar 
content of the plant is greatest. Jap- 
anese Ribbon Cane matures ready for 
the mill in about 130 to 140 days. We, 
therefore, advise planting as early in 
May as possible. Eight to 10 pounds 
of seed will drill one acre. Cultivate 
like cotton, leaving plants about 10 to 
12 inches apart in the row. 
SUGAR DRIP. It makes a large, juicy 
and succulent growth. It will yield 
about 65 per cent of the weight of the 
cane in juice. One of the most desir- 
able syrup varieties. 
Special Warning 
on Syrup Cane 
NON - WARRANTY. Owing to 
the peculiar hybridization of syrup 
cane varieties, it is impossible to 
guarantee any of the varieties here 
listed. We have selected all the 
syrup cane varieties on our list 
with best possible care, but at the 
same time do not guarantee that 
they will come true. 
All orders for syrup cane vari- 
eties are therefore accepted only 
on these conditions. 






DEMAND 
That your seed dealer furnish 
you an authentic germination and 
purity test on all field seeds. If 
he can’t do it, don’t buy them. 


FODDER CANE 
EARLY AMBER CANE. One of the 
earliest sorghums and furnishes a large 
yield of most nutritious forage which 
may be fed either green or cured. If 
grown with cow peas or soy beans the 
quality of the hay is improved and a 
more balanced ration may be had. The 
proportions recommended are 15 pounds 
Early Amber Cane, one-half bushel of 
soy beans and one bushel of cow peas 
to the acre broadcast. Grows 10 to 
12 feet high. Sow broadcast 1 to 1% 
bushels to the acre; 8 to 10 pounds 
plants an acre in 3% to 4-foot rows. 
EARLY ORANGE CANE. About 10 days 
later than Early Amber Cane, but 
makes a taller and more leafy growth. 
It is recommended for fodder, of which 
it yields immense crops, frequently two 
cuttings a season, and stooling out 
thicker after cutting. It is recommend- 
ed for fodder, of which it yields im- 
mense crops, frequently two cuttings a 
season, and stooling out thicker after 
cutting. It may be grown with soy 
beans and cow peas as recommended 
for Early Amber Cane and the quantity 
to plant an acre is the same. 
RED TOP or SUMAC. Grown extensively 
in Middle Tennessee. Succeeds well in 
that section. Very sweet and one of 
the best for hay. 
SAGRAIN 
Grows on land you can’t plant to other 
crops; thrives in low places that usually 
drown out. Produces from 8 to 20 tons 
silage, or if left to ripen will produce 
from 50 to 75 bushels grain (about double 
corn yield), and 4 to 8 tons cured hay; 
has heads like Kaffir. Usually weighs 
about 7 ounces and the average ear corn 
weighs 8 ounces. In feeding value has 
90 per cent value corn;*tcan be fed to 
hogs, chickens, cattle and work stock. 
Plant as early in the spring as frost will 
allow. Will then be ready to harvest 
when the crops are laid by, usually along 
about August ist. Splendid in combina- 
tion with Biloxi Soy Beans. 
Plant in 3%-foot rows. Cultivate a 
couple of times and thin out, leaving a 
stalk every 8 inches apart. Use a com- 
mon sorghum or pea plate. We do not 
‘recommend broadcast planting. Can be 
best harvested with corn binder, shocked 
like oats until cured. Hight to ten pounds 
will seed an acre, planted in 3 to 344-foot 
rows. From each seed planted you get 
from 6 to 10 heads of grain as it stools 
out and should be left very thin in drills. 
303-37. An improved strain, a dwarf se- 
lection of ,the original Sagrain, with 
heavier head. Stalks grow. stocky. 
dwarf and very uniform. You will find 
it a great improvement oyer the reg- 
ular strain.
