NON-SACCHARINE SORGHUM 
CULTURE: All sorghums, saccharine or non-saccharine, should be 
sown in rows 30 to 36 inches apart. If irrigated it is necessary to cul- 
tivate it after each irrigation. It is advisable to give a shallow cultiva- 
tion every two or three weeks until it becomes too large. The sor- 
ghum is ready to cut for the silo when the seed has matured. 
lf you need forage for your horses, cattle or hogs, sorghum planted 
about April 1 will furnish you the best feed in the shortest space of 
time. One-half acre will feed four head of stock all summer if only 
enough is cut each day for one day’s need. In this way one can cut 
continuously all summer. As much as 40 tons may be cut from | acre. 
(Sow 4 to 5 Ibs. per acre) is gaining in popularity 
Atlas Sorgo with dairymen, as it produces considerably more 
silage than either corn or Hegari. The silage made from Atlas Sorgo 
is of very good quality, as it has a high sugar content. It requires 
more water than Hegari, but does well under a wide range of condi- 
tions, having been grown successfully at an elevation of 6,000 feet.

Corn Hybrid Ensilage No. 680 
: 2 A very desirable yellow dent en- 
Hybrid Ensilage No. 680 Sige te! which has given ex- 
ceptionaily good results in western states. The stalks grow from 16 
to 18 feet tall under favorable conditions. We have known of a good 
many crops producing more than 20 tons of silage to the acre. On 
account of the presence of plenty of large ears the silage has a higher 
food value than most open pollinated corn. The stalks should be 
thinned to 12 to 14 inches apart in the row in order to promote a 
good quantity of grain, as this gives food value to the silage. 1 Ib. 30c,

Big Jim Beeeiting 12 inches in length are very prolific, producing

*g-_ This white corn has long been rec- 
Orange County Prolific ognized as the most satisfactory 
silage corn. It was introduced by us in 1911. It is not unusual for 
Orange County Prolific to grow to a height of 18 feet with six to 
nine ears of commercial size to a single stalk, and produce 30 to 35 
tons per acre. (Ib. 25c) (1C Ibs. $2.00) postpaid. Write for quantity

: This is a mid-season type 
Yellow Dent Hybrid No. 415 jecring grain in about 
110 days from planting. It produces good large ears of yellow 
dent grain. It is a much heavier yielder than the open_pollinated 
type and serves either for ensilage or grain purposes. The hybrid 
types of corn have a much stronger root system so are more 
drought resistant and are less apt to blow down during a wind storm 
or to fall over if the ground becomes too wet. The hybrid types of 
corn also, under most conditions, produce a much heavier crop than 
the open pollinated types. It is not recommended that the product of 
the planting of hybrid corn be used again for seed purposes as the 
hybridization work should be carried on for each quantity of seed
