RANCHER SORGHUM 
A new introduction released for the first time this spring by the South 
Dakota Experiment Station, will save stockmen thousands of dollars by pre- 
venting losses from acid poisoning and give us a dependable safe forage. 
RANCHER Sorghum is a hybrid developed by crossing and recrossing Low Acid 
selections from Dakota Black Amber. 
It has a sweet leafy stalk plant with the lowest hydrocyanic acid content of 
any named forage sorghum variety in production; it contains only one-third the 
acid of the Low Acid Cane and only one-tenth of the dangerous acid content 
of commercial varieties of cane. It looks to us as if this will make Rancher 
Sorghum as safe to pasture as Bluegrass, 
It has produeed six and one-half tons of forage and 2,260 pounds of grain per 
acre, 25 per cent-more than the Amber Cane alongside it. 
10 Ibs. $1.75; 25 Ibs. $4.00; 50 Ibs. $7.80; 100 Ibs. $15.00 
LOW-ACID CANE 
A South Dakota State College introduction which yields more than ordinary 
cane and has only one-fourth the acid of other commercial varieties, Experiment 
Stations show that this sorghum produces more forage and feed units per acre 
regardless of moisture supply. Used for silage in mixture with corn or by itself 
by many farmers east. and west. This is No. 1 Certified seed. 
10 Ibs. $1.20; 50 Ibs. $4.50; 100 Ibs. $8.65 
WHEATLAND BLEND—Hybrid Seed Corn 
A practical blend of 80-day flint and 85 and 90-day yellow dents in the 
round, or as some refer to it, thick flat kernels. There is an advantage in 
having a variance of maturities where unfavorable weather conditions might 
hit the corn at a critical period of its growth. A planter plate recommendation 
tag will be sewed in each bag of Wheatland Hybrid seed corn. 
Price $6.00 per bushel
