KAFFIR 
CORN 
Makes excellent fodder 
either green or cured 
Stalks will grow 4 to 5 feet high, 
are very leafy and highly relished 
by all stock. If grown for seed, 
will generally yield from 35 to 50 
bushels per acre. If grown for 
grain, sow in rows of 3 feet apart, 
3 to 5 pounds of seed per acre, and 
for fodder, broadcast at the rate of 
11% to 2 bushels per acre. 
RED KAFFIR TYPE 
Taller than the white. Stalks 
are more slender, but juicy and 
leafy. The seed is small, rather 
hard and brittle. Does well on poor 
land and ripens a little earlier than 
the white. 
Dwarf Black Hull Type 
WHITE KAFFIR 
Has several advantages over the 
Standard. Being a dwarf, it is 
better adapted to withstand dry 
weather and, moreover, can be har- 
vested with a grain header. 
GROHOMA TYPE 
The New Wonder Grain 
As a forage crop it is superior 
to Kaffir, Milo Maize or Feterita. 
It is a sure crop on upland or low- 
land—wet or dry season. 
Grohoma has been produced from 
seed for the last six years. It is a 
combination of Kaffir and Seeded 
Ribbon Cane, producing a larger 
head and a larger grain than Kaf- 
fir, together with a stalk and fo- 
liage far superior to any Sorghum 
ever produced. 
Grohoma has a deep root system. 
After the main head matures, it 
shoots from 1 to 10 branch heads 
from the joints, which mature in 
from 10 to 20 days after main head. 


If the stalks are then cut, the 
plant will stool and then produce 
another set of stalks and a branch 
head, if the season permits. 
It should be planted as soon as 
safe from frost. It is a row crop. 
You can’t afford to be without it. 
Sow about 5 to 10 lbs. of seed per 
acre. 
FETERITA TYPE 
This is a comparatively new grain, 
belonging to the sorghum family, 
and introduced from Africa by the 
United States Department of Agri- 
culture, has made rapid progress. 
A wonderful drought resister, early 
and heavy yielding, and seems to 
be immune to attacks of insect 
pests. If grown for the production 
of grain, should be sown in rows at 
the rate of 3 to 8 pounds per acre 
and cultivated, while if sown for 
fodder, should be broadcast at the 
rate of 114 to 2 bushels per acre. 
SAVED $9.75 ON ONE 
BUSHEL OF SEED 
I bought one bushel of prime 
Alsike of you this spring and 
every seed must have grown. I 
never saw a better stand. Com- 
paring other prices, I have 
saved $9.75 on this one bushel 
of seed. WM. LINVILLE,
