4A Heauy Producing Fast Growing Sweet Farting Cop

The crop also seems highly: sresista : 
against grasshopper damage. Where one corn field was almost completely wiped out-by ‘grass= 
hoppers, Atlas Sorgo was practically untouched. This ability to stand up under unfavorabigss 
conditions makes it an extremely valuable crop. Under normal conditions it always cornres:3 
through with a wonderful growth. There are different varieties of Sweet Sorgo. Attas is:a bout 
the top producer. It will grow 10 to 12 ft. tall. It has good strong stocks. It is very resistary 
against lodging. Hegari may make only about half as tall a growth as Atlas Sorgo. You shout

State Certified Seed or Non-Certified Stock BOA 
We generally carry both the certified and the non-certified seed. The non-certified stocks that 
we have always are of very nice character. Do not plant until corn planting time. Better a lit- 
tle later than earlier. Plant it with seeds 4 to 6 inches apart in the row, using around 8 to 12 lbs. 
per acre, with rows around 40 inches apart. Youcan about double the rate of planting when you 
double row. Cut it a little before severe frost. Shock to cure. Supplies of seed are quite short, so 
pletely dried up corn, Atlas Sorgo remained green. 
we recommend ordering early. 
Palatable and Nutritious 
This is one of the most sensational Forage Crops ever developed. It is an enormous pro- 
ducer. Yielded up to 18.7 tons per acre, under conditions where corn yielded only half as¥ 
much. In dry seasons it has out produced corn in grain yields 3 to 1. Nebraska and othe 
States report it the heaviest forage producer. With favorable moisture conditions Corn: 
may outyield it in grain production, but we know of no other crop that can equal it as Ay 
forage producer. From Nebraska, through Iowa and on East, down South to the Gulf it: 38: 
a-wonderful fodder crop. The juice of Atlas Sorgo is very sweet. That makes Atlas Sorgo: 
highly palatable to livestock, and it is a very nutritious feed. Cattle especially will lsave 
most any kind of feed to get at Atlas Sorgo. They thrive on it. In extreme drouth yearswe 
have seen farmers bring their stock through the winter with nothing but Atlas Sorgo ‘feds 
right out of the shock. It brought them through in excellent condition, fat and sleek:in* the 
spring, as though they had been fully corn fed. This crop also makes wonderful ensilag

This is a tall growing variety of Millet that has high yielding 
ability. With favorable moisture conditions it yields up to 26,000 
to as high as 50,000 pounds of green feed per acre where produced. 
It also has the ability to produce a lot of seed. Seed yields of 1000 
to as high as 2000 pounds per acre are reported. It does not stand 
heat and drouth as well as Sudan Grass or Atlas Sorgo. Yet we 
have had some wonderful productions even in dry years. This 
erop is especially grown in Iowa and states to the north and east, 
including the New England states. Farther south we would con- 
sider Sudan grass, Sorgo or Nokan better. Billion Dollar grass is 
a fast growing crop. It can make a hay crop in 6 to 8 weeks after 
seeding. Do not sow too early, generally around corn planting 
time or after, even into June or July. We recommend sowing 20 
lbs. of seed per acre. It will grow up to 6 to 8 ft. high on soil 
of good fertility. It makes good feed for cattle and sheep. It is 
widely used for pasture. It does not become poisonous because 
.of drouth or fray By ordering early we can take care of your 
orders. 
Price 25 lbs., $2.60; 50 lbs., $5.00; 100 lbs., $9.90. 
Dear Sir: Mt. Horeb, Wisc. 
I have a 115 acre farm and have been farming for 
myself 30 years. During that time I have bought from 
many different seed companies but the biggest difficulties 
were purity and high cost. But, during the past few 
years I have bought all of my seed from Berry’s. Your 
seed cannot be beat for purity and reasonable cost. 
Yours, Orvin Barton.
