Dipl See page 41 for Chicago prices 
This is one of the most sensational forage crops ever devel- 
oped. An enormous.producer. Yielded up to 18.7 tons per acre, 
where corn yielded half as much. In dry seasons out produced 
corn 3 to 1. Nebraska and other states report it the heaviest 
forage producer. 
A matchless drought resister. Corn if it is severely injured by 
drought will stop growing. Atlas will start again. In sections where 
drought completely dried up corn, Atlas remained green. Where grass- 
hoppers almost completely wiped out: a corn field an adjoining field of 
Sorgo was practically untouched. 
Atlas makes:.a highly palatable and very nutritious feed. The juice is 
sweet and live stock, especially cattke, will leave most any kind of feed 
to get it. They thrive on it. In dry seasons farmers have brought their 
livestock through with nothing but this feed and had them fat and sleek 
in the spring. Makes wonderful ensilage. 
State Certified or Grown from Certified Seed 
There are many varieties of sweet sorgo but we consider Atlas the most 
profitable to grow. Compare the growth Atlas with Hegari as shown in 
the pictures on this page. All pictures were taken near Clarinda on the 
same day. The Hegari was on second bottom the Atlas on upland. Why 
grow a crop that grows 5 to 6 feet when you can get 10 to 12 feet. 
Atlas makes a leafy, sturdy growth. Very resistant against lodging. The 
white seed is very palatable. 
The State Certified seed is priced above, The seed grown from 
Certified seed is 50c per bu. or $1.00 per 100 cheaper. Both are 
high quality lots. Shipment guaranteed entirely satisfactory. 
Atlas must have a warm seed bed. Drill it in with seeds 4 to 6 
inches apart, 8 to 12 lbs. per acre are used for single row planting. 
Cut in fall a little before severe frost. Shock to cure.
