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. Jive 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. 
Makes fine ensilage for a dairy herd. It’s 
good insurance to be prepared for a dry 
season. *

MILO COMBINE 
Fine Poultry Feed 
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. ee : 
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 
34 for prices.

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
