Sorghum Cane 


Making Sorghum Syrup From Minnesota’s 
Famous Cane. 
MINNESOTA EARLY AMBER—The 
Karly Amber Sugar Cane grown in Minne- 
sota is superior to that grown anywhere else. 
It is the earliest strain grown, very hardy, of 
fine quality, and yields from 12 to 20 tons of 
cane per acre, according to soil conditions and 
cultivation. It grows 12 to 18 feet high, yield- 
ing much fodder, of good quality. Early Amber 
Cane and Fodder Corn are often planted to- 
gether, and produce immense yields. 
One acre of Early Amber Cane will produce 
enough to make 175 to 200 gallons of syrup, of 
delicious rich quality, golden yellow color. 
We offer an improved strain of Minnesota 
Early Amber Sugar Cane which has been care- 
fully bred for size, sugar content, and palat- 
ability. Sow 8 to 10 Ibs. per acre for syrup. 
Price: 5 lbs. 80c, postpaid. (See Blue Figure 
Price List.) 
DAKOTA AMBER 39-30-S CANE— 
Low Acid Cane Variety Developed by the South 
Dakota Experiment Station.

early maturity has been met by the introduc- 
tion of Dakota Amber 39-30-S. It grows 55 to 
68 in. tall, the stems are medium large and 
juicy and sweet, tillers freely, the leaves are 
medium in size. It is a good forage and grain 
producer, The following qualities make this 
Cane outstanding: 
Low acid content. 
More sugar, higher feeding value. 
Safe as Sudan Grass. 
Certified as to purity—uniform maturity. 
Easy to handle. 
. A good fodder and grain producer. 
Plant 5 to 10 Ibs. per acre in cultivated rows 
or 50 to 60 lbs. per acre broadcast.

MILLET— he Ideal “Catch Crap” 
Although many farmers are now growing 
Millet regularly as a hay crop, it was not un- 
til the last few years that its value was fully 
appreciated as a quick-developing crop. Many 
pasture. Millet hay properly handled has 
great feeding value and milk-producing quali- 
ties. For hay it should be cut as soon as it 
blooms, before the seed forms, otherwise the 
find it of great value in case of crop failure hay is 
of Clover and Timothy, when dry, spring 
weather cuts short the pasture and meadow 
grasses, or when there is a cold, wet spring 
and corn and other early sown crops are 
drowned out—it is then that Millet is fully 
appreciated. 
Millets may be planted up to July 1 and 
even later, and still produce a crop of hay or

FOXTAIL MILLETS 
Sow 15 to 20 pounds per acre. 
GERMAN OR GOLDEN—This is one of 
the best varieties for hay and fodder. It makes 
rapid, vigorous growth, often yielding 3 to 5 
tons of hay per acre, on good rich soil. It 
grows 4 to 5 feet high, is of rather coarse ap- 
pearance, and should be cut for hay before it 
is in full bloom. At this stage, the hay is of 
the best quality, and so tender it can be fed 
to hogs. 
SIBERIAN—We think this the best Millet 
for dry sections. It is extremely hardy, drought 
resistant, and about two weeks earlier than 
Golden Millet. It stools heayily, is very leafy, 
and yields enormous quantities of fine quality 
hay. It produces 50 to 70 bushels of seed 
per acre. 
Price: Any variety, 5 lbs. 80c, postpaid. 

PROSO MILLETS 
Sow 25 pounds per acre. 
TURGHAI PROSO—tTurghai Millet grows 
three feet tall and has a purple spreading 
head. The stems bear a wide leaf similar to 
corn and are not woody. It withstands con- 
siderable drought. It is a red seeded variety, 
like Early Fortune. Turghai has yielded from 
50 to 70 bushels on heavy soil and three tons 
of hay per acre. Contains 17% protein and is 
one of the richest feeds for hogs, cattle, sheep 
and poultry. Ask for free circular. 
EARLY FORTUNE-—This seed is of a 
shiny reddish brown about the size of Turghai. 
The heads are compact. It matures rather 
early, growing about medium height. It is 
ready to harvest in 50 to 60 days after sowing.
