ATLAS SORGO 
Atlas is considered by Agricultural Authorities to be one of the 
greatest forage crops developed in the last century. It is a cross 
between Sweet Sorgo and Blackhull Kaffir. Has made some sen- 
sational yields. One farmer reported nearly 23 tons green feed 
per acre. Yields 2 and 3 times as much as corn in dry seasons. 
Grows 10 to 12 feet tall. Is late in maturing seed. A great drought 
resister. 
A Very Valuable Crop 
Nothing better for ensilage. It has sweet juicy stalks. More 
palatable than corn. Live stock, especially cattle, will eat it : 
stalks and all. They will leave most any kind of hay or feed for 
Atlas Sorgo. Requires warm soil. Plant about 10 to 20 days after 
you plant corn. Drill 8 to 12 pounds per acre for single row piant- 
ing. Sow 30 pounds solid drilled or 40 pounds broadcast. Cut in 
fall before first heavy frost. Shock like corn.

ATLAS SORGO 
The Atlas Sorgo crop. was very 
short last year. Most of this seed 
is produced in Nebraska and Kansas. 
They had an early freeze in many 
sections. We were not able to buy 
enough Certified seed of good germi- 
nation to cover our requirements. 
This seed was bought from a reliable 
shipper on a grower’s affidavit. 
Bought as genuine Atlas Sorgo. 
Price: 25 Ibs., $1.45; 50 Ibs., $2.75:

MILO MAIZE 
This Is the Milo Type 
This is also a member of the grain Sorghum 
family. The stalks are more slender than the 
Kaffir, but have no juice in them. Milo is 
much earlier than Kaffir. The seed heads are 
much more compact and egg shaped. Grain is 
widely used in chicken feeds. Where seasons 
are short or a quick maturing kind is desired, 
the Milo should be your selection. Milo will 
also grow with less moisture. Grain has good 
feeding value. . : 
Milo, Kaffir, Feterita and all similar grains 
should not be planted until after the ground 
is thoroughly warm. Two or three weeks after 
corn planting is best. Spring plowing 
warms the land better. Sow 8 lbs. 
for grain, 75 lbs. for hay. 
The feeding value of these 
various sorghum grains 
is about equal. 
Milo and Feterita 
are more gen- 
erally grown 
throughout the 
northern part of the 
Corn Belt, because of 
earlier maturity. Our seed 
is very choice. See page 
32 for prices.

BUCKWHEAT 
A quick maturing grain (10 to 12 weeks). Yields well, 20 to 
40 bushels per acre. The best grain crop for poor soils. Does 
even better than Rye on poor land. Makes hard land mellow 
and friable. Can be used as a catch crop if small grain kills 
out. Good crop for new land. Excellent cover crop in orchards, 
Also used for bee pasture. 
Many farmers sow Buckwheat after other grains are har- 
vested and they obtain a good crop. Can be sown up to 
August Ist. Sow about 1 bushel or 48 pounds per acre. Our 
seed is recleaned. Our stock is the Japanese type. This type 
is most in demand. See price page 32. 
































This is Kaffir Corn type. Is called a sorghum grain 
crop. The stalks are stout and fairly short. Stalks not 
quite as juicy as Cane. The seed heads are 10 to 15 
inches long. For hay, sow 60 to 75 pounds per acre. 
For grain, drill 8 pounds per acre in rows like Corn. 
Stands lots of hot dry weather. Makes excellent poultry 
feed and good for all kinds of livestock, when. it is 
ground alone or with other grains. See page 32 for prices.
