SORGHUM and SUGAR CANE 
CULTURE—Plant when the ground becomes thoroughly warm, say two weeks after corn planting, in 
rows 3% to 4 feet apart, and cultivate as you would corn, Will make a satisf actory crop on any well- — 
drained soil that will produce a good crop of corn or wheat. May be cut or pastured after the flower- 
ing stage is passed, but not earlier. Sorghum may be grown with cowpeas and soy beans, either in 
rows or broadcast. hak 
Plant about 8 to 10 pounds per acre for forage. When growing sorghum for syrup, plant 6 to 8 
pounds per acre; thin out to stand 10 to 12 inches apart, and cut just before the heads ripen. Fer- — 
tilizer requirements same as corn, 400 to 600 pounds 2-12-4 per acre. Bushel weighs 50 lbs. oo ;

there has been no new sorghum that has been’ other forage sorghums. It is recommended — 
brought out that can compare with it in yield of for fodder, of which it yields immense crops, ~ 
syrup. It makes a large juicy, succulent growth. It frequently two cuttings a season, and stooling — 
will yield about 65% of the weight of the cane in out thicker after cutting. Orange Cane is par- — 
juice when extracted by a good farm mill, and _ ticularly recommended for early plantings in ~ 
stronger mills should extract as much as 75% to 80%. Virginia and general plantings in the South-

Sorghum is due’to its tremendous yield of seed more saccharine content than Amber Cane, It — 
which is equal to corn per acre, and in addition to. may be grown with soybeans and cowpeas as 
its enormous syrup yield the seed of this genuine recommended for Early Amber Cane, and the 
strain can always be sold at very attractive price quantity to plant an acre is the same. 
well above the value of corn. Sugar Drip Sorghum 
also has-less tendency to granulate and sugar than : z 
any other variety, which is a most important factor e G 
when you offer syrup for sale. 
We are always buyers of seed produced, from our 
strain and any customers having seed of this strain 
on hand we would be glad to have samples and quan- 
tity available and we will make an attractive price 
on same. This also applies to our Texas Seeded Rib- 
bon Cane offered in former years. 
Sugar Drip Sorghum is particularly well adapted 
to Virginia, all the southern states and middle and 
western sections of the U.S.A. 
CERTIFIED HEGARI 
Hegari is one of the most valuable of all grain sorghums, and very similar in growth 
and appearance of grain to Kaffir Corn, but makes a larger, leafier growth, stools better, 
makes more heads per acre, and consequently heavier yields of grain are obtained. It 
is a semi-Sweet stalk (about 11% sugar), whereas Kaffir is a dry stalk, and it will make 
more bundled feed and grain combined than any other sorghum. The fact that the stalk 
is readily eaten by animals either in the process of pasturing off in the fields following 
removal of heads, or in the form of harvested forage, makes it a favorite with farmers 
and livestock men. An average acre of Hegari may be expected to yield, under ordinary 
growing conditions, 12 tons of silage or 1,800-pounds of threshed grain per acre. Some 
yields have run as high as 4,000 pounds on irrigated land, and of course a larger growth 
of silage, It is generally considered that Hegari silage is about 15% more valuable than 
corn Silage. 
Drill 5 pounds per acre in rows about 12 inches apart, and cultivate. Matures in 110 
to 120 days, and should be planted the same as corn. 
Kaffir Corn and ordinary Milo Maize we are not offering for seed purposes this year 
due to the fact that we consider Hegari much better substitute for Kaffir Corn as a 
grain and forage crop. Combine Milo as a grain producer is far ahead of the ordinary 
tall growing milo and more easily harvested. The grain of both Hegari and Combine Milo 
makes fine feed for stock, hogs, poultry and pigeons, and can be fed either whole or 
ground. 
EARLY AMBER CANE One of the earliest sorghums and furnishes a large 
yield of most nutritious forage which may be fed either 
green or cured. If planted early, it will yield two cuttings a season, stooling out thicker 
each time it is cut. If grown with cowpeas or soybeans, the quality of the hay is im- 
proved and a more nearly balanced ration may be had. The proportions recommended 
are 15 pounds Early Amber Cane, % bushel of soybeans and 1 bushel cowpeas to the 
acre broadcast. Grows 10 to 12 feet high. 
SHALLU or EGYPTIAN WHEAT A non-saccharine sorghum of special 
value in dry seasons; few forage plants 
are more drought-resistant. It grows tall, stools out—three to six stalks frequently 
come from a single root. Cut when at the dough stage, and a second cutting may be 
had. For cattle, horses, sheep, hogs and poultry, the grain may be fed either whole 
or ground. .
