Probably a descendant of a variety imported from Africa about 1857. 
Similar to the group known as Orange except for its white seed and 
the ability of the fodder to keep for a long time without souring. 
Fairly widely distributed and is recommended for its excellent yield 
of high quality fodder. Resistant to sorghum red spot and retains 
its lower leaves even in severe drought. 
SUMAC 
SUMAC, MEDIUM DWARF BLACKHULL (Cane) 125 5-7 
A very leafy, disease-resistant strain adapted to south Texas, devel- 
oped and introduced by B. V. Hasselfield of Tivoli, Texas, in 1931- 
82. Produces high tonnage for hay or silage either broadcast or row 
planted; preferred in south Texas where all feed is row planted 
and harvested with the row binder. Seedheads short, compact, very 
uniform, seed medium in size, dark red. 
SUMMA GMREDHULLECMediumaD warts Cane). sie. a a hy te 125 5-7 
A strain developed by head to row selection in 1929 at Tivoli, Texas, 
and grown quite extensively in south Texas. Yields a very high grade 
bright hay; of high sugar content, uniformly maturing plants with 
slender stems, tiller quite freely, seedheads small; seed small and 
reddish; hulls reddish. Adapted to southern Texas where hay sor- 
ghums are row planted. 
OL GM RECIELO DEGUIIG erage 9 se a ee Ne a ee Seely 1252 >. 6-8 
A standard giant-growing variety long known for its high yields of 
extra quality hay and frequently turned under while green to enrich 
the soil. The most widely used of all the sorghums as a broadcast hay 
crop in heavy corn and cotton lands. Thick sowings are made early 
in the year to produce a heavy crop of very fine stems 3-4 ft. tall 
for the better curing of fine hay with excellent keeping qualities. 
Often planted for filling the silo, as green growth, or allowed to 
cure in bundles.
