Dry Land Grain and 
Forage Seeds 
Grain Sorghums 
CULTURE—For forage crops, sow 50 to 75 pounds per 
acre; for grain 5 to 6 pounds in rows and cultivate the same 
as Corn. Forage is not quite as palatable for stock as the 
Sweet Sorghums. 
WHITE KAFIR (Dwarf Black Hull)—Usually grows 
5 to 6 feet tall in the dry land areas. Heads. are 
heavy and compact, 10 to 14 inches long with black 
hulls and white seeds. The grain makes good feed 
for poultry and cattle. 
HEGARI—This is one of the earliest maturing of the 
grain sorghums. It is very similar to Kafir. The 
grain is nearly equal to corn in feeding value. The 
stalks are leafy and make excellent fodder. 
MILO (Sooner or Sixty Day)—A non-saccharine sor- 
ghum of high feeding value. This is the plant that 
is being so largely raised for its grain in the dry 
plains of eastern Colorado and western Kansas. 
The seed is larger than the seed of Kafir and not 
as hard and equal to corn in feeding value for 
stock and poultry. 
HIGHLAND KAFIR—A dual purpose variety origi- 
nated at the Akron Station. The seeds are white 
with small reddish-brown spots, grows about 36 
inches high and produces a juicy, leafy, fine 
stemmed stalk. 
FETERITA—Is the earliest and most drought resist- 
ing of the grain sorghums. The seed is larger than 
the seed of Kafir or Milo and not so hard. Should 
not be planted until the weather is warm, as it will 
rot before sprouting if the soil is cold and wet. 
Sweet Sorghums 
CULTURE—For forage crops, sow 50 to 75 ponnds per 
acre; for grain 5 to 6 pounds, in rows and cultivate the same 
as corn. Forage is very palatable to stock. 
BLACK AMBER CANE—Is the best known and _ is 
the favorite on account of its earliness and re- 
sistance to drought. 
RED AMBER CANE—Matures later than Black Am- 
ber, is taller and more leafy than the Black Amber. 
MIXED CANE—This is valuable as a forage crop. 
Do not plant for a seed crop. 
LEOTI RED—A highly recommended sorghum for 
Colorado conditions. The stalks are very leafy, an 
excellent variety for forage and silage. 
RED TOP OR SUMAC CANE—Very desirable for for- 
age as the stalks are sweet and very leafy. The 
seed shells, out clean like the grain sorghums and 
is better for feed than other varieties of Cane. 
COES SORGO-—Is a Kafir-headed sorgo with a long, 
compact head and fine sweet stem, high in sugar 
contents. Suckers profusely making large quanti- 
ties of fine leafy feed. The grain is equal in feed- 
ing value to Kafir. 
ATLAS SORGO—Is a large late forage sorghum de- 
veloped by the Hays, Kansas, Experiment Station. 
It is drought resistant, produces big yields under 
favorable conditions and is similar to Kansas 
Orange in growth habit. It is a sweet Sorghum 
and will produce a good tonnage of forage in this 
section.

& 
Millet 
Millet is a wonderful forage and hay crop. It affords a 
quick, luxuriant growth of hay of good feeding value and 
requires no cultivation. Millet may be fed green or cured 
The value of Millet for late planting and emergency crops 
after others fail should not be overlooked. They can be 
planted late in July and still make considerable forage. Sow 
about 30 pounds to the acre. 
WHITE WONDER—A variety which has taken the 
Place of common millet and has qualities superior 
to other varieties. It is early, the heads are very 
large and long, and the foliage is heavy yet easily 
cured. 
MANITOBA OR HOG—A valuable peculiarity of Hog 
Millet is that seed ripen while the hay is yet,green, 
which, if cut at the proper time, can be threshed 
for seed, while the hay makes excellent fodder 
after being threshed. 
EARLY FORTUNE OR RED HOG—Very similar to 
the Manitoba or Hog Millet, only the seed is red 
instead of yellow. 
SIBERIAN OR RED RUSSIAN—FEarlier, more hardy, 
rustproof, and less liable to damage by insects, an 
extremely heavy cropper; stalks tall, and of finer 
quality than any other sort. Best variety for hay. 
BIG GERMAN—This. is one of the best forage plants 
grown in this country. Under ordinary conditions 
will produce from 4 to 5 tons of hay per acre. and 
from 50 to 75 bushels of seed. When sown early it 
leaves the ground in splendid condition for wheat. 
Field Beans 
40 to 60 pounds will seed an acre 
PINTO OR MEXICAN—80 to 90 days. A heavy yielder, 
hardy, drought resistant and an excellent baking 
bean, also used for chili. The seed is red and 
speckled with crimson. 
Postpaid (4% Ib. 15c) (Ub. 35c) (5 Ibs. $1.50). 
GREAT NORTHERN OR LARGE NAVY—100 days. A 
popular bean, especially adapted for Colorado soil 
and climate. Its flavor and tenderness as a baked 
bean surpass all other varieties. Seed is flat oval 
white. 
Postpaid (4 Ib. 15¢) (Ib. 35c) “(5 Ibs. $1.50). 
MICHIGAN PEA BEAN—(Small Navy)—90 days. 
Best known commercial variety. Plant large, 
spreading, with many runners; heavily productive. 
Pods flat, tough, stringy. Seed small, round oval, 
white. 
Postpaid (4% Ib, 15ce) (ib. 35e) (5 Ibs. $1.50). 
Sudan Grass 
Sudan is an annual and requires replanting each 
year, and dies with the first frost in the fall; is 
closely related to Sorghums (Milo, Maize, Kafir Corn, 
etc.), but yields far more abundantly than any of 
these and the hay has more fattening properties. 
There is no other forage crop known that will resist 
drought like Sudan and it is therefore particularly 
adapted to semi-arid regions, yet it yields immense 
crops under irrigation and rainy climates. It may be 
broadcast or drilled in rows and cultivated. Sow 
broadcast 25 to 30 pounds of seed per acre or in 
rows 10 to 12 pounds. Cut for hay when fully headed. 
Under favorable conditions two cuttings of hay may 
be obtained. 
Postpaid (5 Ibs. $1.75) (10 Ibs. $3.00).
