SOONER No. 8 (60-Day Milo) 
These new 60-day varieties are selections of F3 generation from a 
cross between Early White Milo and Double Dwarf Yellow. Except 
for color both varieties are the same. Both bloom in 60 days or less 
and mature in 90 days thus being invaluable as “catch crops” where 
early crops or other plantings have failed. These Sooner varieties offer 
both early maturity and double dwarf characteristics for combine 
harvesting. Stalks are slender, bear 10 to 12 leaves, tiller freely and 
tiller heads mature about same time as main heads. Heads are typi- 
cally milo, oval, compact with short seed branches. Exsertion from 
boot is good. Both are pythium root-rot resistant. 
Similar to Dwarf Yellow milo but is an earlier maturing variety, 
resistant to pythium root-rot; stalk slender, heads not so compact, 
quite drought resistant; a dependable producer, suitable for a very 
quick growing feed crop and good for late planting. Seed yellow, 
large, soft.

Similar to Single Dwarf, except for shorter plants, adapted for very 
early planting to furnish feed before corn is ready and for sections 
where oats are not grown as grain crops. Produces relatively high 
yields of large soft yellow grain, stands for combine harvest in 
dry climates and responds to irrigation. Often planted after oats 
and peas for a late crop. This popular variety is resistant to pythium 
root-rot.

A widely adapted high yielding grain sorghum very similar to the 
original Standard Yellow milo from which it seems to have de- 
veloped about 40 years ago. Seed stems not entirely curved, tillers 
freely, stands well for combining in dry climates. Responds well to 
irrigation and under favorable conditions is often used for bundle 
feed. Heads compact, club shaped. Seed large, yellow, soft. Resistant 
to pythium root-root.
