either green or cured. If planted early, it will yield 
two cuttings a season, stooling out thicker each 
time it is cut. A good catch-crop when feed is short 
because of its quick growth.,

Co., Va., says: “I made 384 gallons of syrup on two 
acres with Wood’s Sugar Drip. No other variety could 
have produced such a fine crop.” 
Sugar Drip Sorghum 
no new sorghum has been brought out that can 
compare with it in yield of syrup. It makes a large, 
juicy and succulent growth. It will yield about 65 
per cent of the weight of the cane in juice when 
extracted by a good farm mill; a stronger mill 
should extract as much as 75 to 80 per cent. Par- 
ticularly well adapted for Virginia, the Piedmont 
and mountain sections of the Carolinas and states

Unfortunately much of the seed 
offered in the South is badly mixed with a similar, but non-

Texas Seeded Ribbon 
Cane on our own farm has 
shown a decided superior- 
ity over all other sorghums 
for silage purposes, making’ 
a tremendous leaf growth, 
as well as excellent syrup. 
It makes 20 to 28 
tons of silage per acre com-

poultry or green feed for hogs. 
Makes more ensilage than corn. 
A profitable cash crop as it 
yields 1,000 to 1,500 pounds per 
acre of seed rich in oil and pro- 
tein. Plant and cultivate like 
corn in 21%4-foot rows. For feed 
or silage, plant 15 to 20 pounds 
per acre; for seed production 8 
pounds, planting a ft. apart in
