Bib YIELIS of Forage, Grain and 
WHITE KAFFIR CORN 
Kaffir Corn yields heavy crops. It adapts it- 
self 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 a 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 3l/-foot rows. 
Plant from after the ground is thoroughly 
warm till early in June. 
YELLOW MILO MAIZE 
A wonderfully drought-resistant non-saccha- 
rine sorghum that makes a thick succulent 
growth of nutritious milk-producing 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 feed- 
ing 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 3l4-foot rows after the ground 
is thoroughly warm, and give it the same cul- 
tivation 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 sec- 
ond cutting may be had. For cattle, horses, 
sheep, hogs and poultry, the grain may be fed 
either whole or ground. Its long, graceful 
heads make beautiful house decorations. Plant 
in drills 3 feet apart, using 10 pounds of seed 
per acre; or broadcast, using from 2 to 4 
bushels. 
SYRUP CANE 
JAPANESE HONEY RIBBON CANE. For mak- 
ing syrup this variety has no equal. It has 
been yielding from one hundred to two hun- 
dred 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 re- 
main on the seed when threshed. With its 
large foliage makes one of the best varieties 
for ensilage. Plant 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 desirable syrup varieties. 

We Are Exclusive Distributors For 
SOGOLD SORGO SYRUP 
CANE SEED 
A Discovery and Development of Hickory 
Oaks Farm, Houston, Mississippi 
We believe this syrup cane to be far 
superior to any other syrup cane avail- 
able. Produces up to 500 gallons an acre 
under ideal conditions. Grows 12 to 18 
feet tall. A big, heavy stalk full of clear, 
sweet juice. This cane does not ‘’fire up,” 
stays greener from top to bottom. It will 
withstand dry weather and does not get 
pithy and red-hearted like most big cane. 
Juice is high in sugars, low in starch, 
very necessary qualities for highest grade 
syrup. Makes a good ‘'turn-out’’ of finest 
quality syrup, bright, clear and good 
bodied. A good header. 
This is also a wonderful cane for. en- 
silage. Big tonnage to the acre. The 
bagasse (or mash) when fresh ground and 
cut with ensilage cutter makes good silage 
for trench or box silo. Make a syrup and 
feed crop at the same time. 
A late maturing cane, plant early 
enough to mature before frost. If planted 
first part of May will mature latter part 
of September. If planted last of May, 
should mature first part of October. 
A very limited quantity for 1942. Limit: 
5 pounds to a customer. 1 Ib., 25c; 5 lbs., 
$1.00; postpaid 1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.20. 
This special lot of seed will move fast. Get 
your order in early.

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 soybeans and 
one bushel of cow peas to the acre broadcast. 
Grows 10 to 12 feet high. Sow broadcast 1 to 
12 bushels to the acre; 8 to 10 pounds plants 
an acre in 3l4 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 may be grown with 
soybeans 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 sec- 
tion. 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 aver- 
age ear corn weighs 8 ounces. In feeding 
value has 90 per cent value corn; can 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. Splen- 
did in combination with Biloxi Soybeans. 
Plant in 314-foot rows. Cultivate a couple of 
times and thin out, leaving a stalk every 8 
inches apart. Use a common sorghum or pea 
plate. We do not recommend broadcast plant- 
ing. Can be best harvested with corn binder, 
shocked like oats until cured. Eight to ten 
pounds will seed an acre, planted in 3- to 31,- 
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. An improved strain, a dwarf selection of 
the original Sagrain, with heavier head. Stalks 
grow stocky, dwarf and very uniform. You will 
find it a great improvement over the regular 
strain. 

Special Warning On 
Syrup Cane 
NON-WARRANTY. Owing to the pecu- 
liar hybridization of syrup cane varie- 
ties, it is impossible to guarantee any 
of the varieties here listed. We have se- 
lected 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 varieties 
are therefore accepted only on these 
conditions.
