SU MAC GRediTopn Caney) nie ner re teeter aren terse eee Aen oat re 125 6-8 
A standard giant-growing variety long known for its high 
yields of extra quality hay and frequently turned under while 
green to enrich the soil. The most widely used of all the 
sorghums as a broadcast hay crop in heavy corn and cotton 
lands. Thick sowings are made early in the year to produce a 
heavy crop of very fine stems 3-4 ft. tall for the better curing 
of fine hay with excellent keeping qualities. Often planted for 
filling the silo, as green growth, or allowed to cure in bundles.
