SORGHUM and SUGAR CANE 
CULTURE—Plant when the ground becomes thoroughly warm, say two weeks after corn planting, in 
rows 314 to 4 feet apart, and cultivate as you would corn. Will make a satisfactory crop on any well- 
drained soil that will produce a good crop of corn or wheat. May be cut or pastured after the flower- 
ing stage is passed, but not earlier. Sorghum may be grown with cowpeas and soy beans, either in 
rows or broadcast. 
Plant about 8 to 10 pounds per acre for forage. When growing sorghum for syrup, plant 6 to 8 
pounds per acre; thin out to stand 10 to 12 inches apart, and cut just before the heads ripen. Fer- 
tilizer requirements same as corn, 400 to 600 pounds 2-12-4 per acre. Bushel weighs 50 lbs. 
SUGAR DRIP SORGHUM 
Since we introduced this variety many years ago 
there has been no new sorghum that has been 
brought out that can compare with it in yield or 
Syrup. It makes a large juicy, succulent growth. It 
will yield about 65% of the weight of the cane in 
juice when extracted by a good farm mill, and 
stronger mills should extract as much as 75% to 80%. 
One reason for the great popularity of Sugar Drip 
Sorghum is due to its tremendous yield of seed 
which is equal to corn per acre, and in addition to 

CERTIFIED HEGARI 
A very similar crop to Kaffir. It is alike 
in height and the grain is very similar 
except that Hegari is slightly larger than 
Kaffir. Hegari stools much more than 
Kaffir, makes more heads per acre and 
consequently yields heavier. It is sSemi- 
sweet stalked (about 11% sugar), where- 
as Kaffir is dry stalked. Hegari has taken

COMBINE WHEATLAND MILO 
This New Strain of the Sorghum Family Shows Special Merit for 
Grain Production in the Southern and Southeastern States 
Has proven exceptionally well adapted for harvesting with a 
combine harvester. Grows to an average height of 31 inches, but has 
a range of from 24 to 39 inches, depending upon seasonal conditions. 
The stalks are short and sturdy, giving it strength to resist lodging 
to a greater degree than any other known variety of commercial 
importance. Heads vary in length from 6 to 9 inches, depending upon 
the season, and heads are of uniform height. The kernels resemble 
yellow Milo in size and color, threshes readily without cracking. 
In a normal season will mature in about 100 days, but if moisture 
and warm weather prevail during late fall, it will continue growing, 
requiring up to 125 days to mature. It is essentially a grain producer, 
ranging in yield from 25 to sometimes over 60 bushels per acre. Plant 
in rows, 4 to 5 pounds per acre, and only one cultivation is necessary 
and no thinning required. 
Combine Wheatland Milo has been grown quite extensively in 
Louisa.County, Va., with excellent results. One of our customers 
states: “It is an excellent feed for birds and as be easily combined. 3 
The seed will stay in the head all winter and furnishes fine bird feed, c : i
