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 planting. Sow 30 
pounds solid drilled or 40 pounds broadcast. 

Cut in fall before first heavy frost. Shock 
like corn.

New Early Atlas 
Here is a new wonderful fodder 
crop. Norkan is a cross between 
Atlas Sorgo and Early Sumac Cane. 
It looks very :much like Atlas 
Sorgo. The plants are medium tall, 
sweet and juicy. Norkan matures 
about two weeks earlier than Atlas. 
Is better for the northern part of 
the Corn Belt. Does not grow 
quite as tall as Atlas Sorgo, but 
average height 8 to 10 feet, de- 
pending upon location and _ soil. 
Heavily leaved from top to ground. 
The grain yield is very heavy. 
Tests at Lincoln, Nebraska, show 
Norkan yield of grain, 55.8 bushels 
per acre. 


_ It makes wonderful silage. Live stock is very fond 
of this juicy, sweet stemmed feed. In regular corn 
rows, plant 10 to 15 Ibs. per acre. In double rows, 
about 22 to 25 lbs. per acre. Weighs 50 Ibs. per bu.

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. wee p 
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.
