Excellent for Grain or Fodder 
Norkan is really a cross between Atlas and Harly Sumac cane yet it bears a close re- 
‘semblance to Atlas and one authority says it may be described best as an Harly Atlas. It 
has the earliness and tonnage of Harly Sumac and the palatable white grain of Atlas. 
The plants are medium early and medium tall, sweet and juicy. Makes a good forage 
variety especially for sections further north. Since the grain matures earlier it is ready 
for ensilage or forage quicker. This is very desirable as the best silage is secured if cut 
when seeds are in the hard dough stage. 
Norkan is not quite as tall as Atlas but will grow 8 to 10 ft. tall depending upon location and soil. 
It is heavily leaved and being somewhat finer stemmed it is easier to handle. 
Atlas Growers Switching to Norkan 
The grain yield of Norkan is fully equal to Atlas Sorgo in grain production. Tests at Lincoln, Nebraska, show Norkan 
superior in yield of grain producing 55.8 bushel per acre. The reason many Atlas growers are switching to Norkan is that 
it is two weeks earlier and they have therefore greater assurance of getting a crop of mature seed. As mentioned above 
the earlier maturity of grain is of added value when the crop is wanted for forage or ensilage as more mature grain im- 
proves the quality and raises the feeding value. One of the biggest Atlas growers in Nebraska said he was going for Norkan 
from here on because it wags earlier and easier to handle. 
Suitable to a Wide Area 
Many of our customers live east and north of the regular grain and forage sorghum section yet find bie profits i . 
ing these crops such as Atlas and Hegari. If you live north of the Missouri line and east of Linco, Nebraska, ae strobe 
urge you to grow some Norkan. Farther south the Atlas may have some superiority because of its somewhat taller growth. 
For these other areas we advise Norkan because it is so much earlier, more certain to mature grain and still very satisfac- 
tory in fodder growth, Even if you are located quite far north or in sections requiring very early maturity Norkan should 
mare escelrat eliaee and garages pbageeiocs is very Roe OF ae juicy sweet stemmed feed both in green and dry stages, 
s heavy yields will give you a lot of food per acre. is a big money crop yet economical to pl . ; 
for Atlas. Regular corn rows 10 to 12 lbs. per acre. Double row 20 to 25 Tes. 0 Plant ee
