OTHER MONEY MAKING CROPS FOR GRAIN, HAY AND PASTURE 

CANE 
MAKES TREMENDOUS YIELDS 

This forage Cane is very rich in sugar and 
fat. It is a very palatable crop. Its yields are 
enormous as it produces 10 to 15 tons of excel- 
lent green feed on rich land. It also is a re- 
markable drought resistor. It is especially val- 
‘uable in dry, hot seasons. You can use it either 
for fodder or for hay. If you want it for hay 
make the seeding at a heavier rate of 75 to 100 
pounds to the acre. For a fodder crop you can 
drill it in rows as far apart as corn rows, using 
around 10 pounds to the acre, or double up the 
rows and use 20. For hay the heavier your rate 
of seeding, the finer the growth. Some farmers: 
sell their regular hay crop for cash and use 
Cane for their own feed supply. A few aérés 
of Cane will make as much hay as many acrés 
of Timothy and livestock will relish it and: fats 
ten on it. It also makes wonderful ensilage}):2§ 
is a good seed producer yielding as high as60 
bushels to the acre. Do not plant it until corn 
planting time or after. It wants warm weather anda. warm 
seed bed. 
Early Amber type, the kind most generally grown, a great value 
because of its splendid. growing power. $6.10 per bushel of 50 
pounds. 
Early Orange type, ‘heavier stalks, more abundant leaves, heads 
more compact. Heavier yielder but a little coarser. $6.10 per bushel 
of 50 pounds. ‘See page 33. 
-CANE For sorGHUM PURPOSES 
The above Cane is for fodder purposes. To make good Sorghum 
the seed must be from pure strains. We use great care in getting 
our sorghum seed. We cannot guarantee the crop but we do con- 
sider it equal, if not superior to any on the market, 
Red or Orange type. This was secured for molasses purposes 
from Cane that had been used in making sorghum. It makes mo- 
lasses of excellent quality, both as to color and flavor. It is juicy 
and is-the choice of most sorghum makers in this section. ;

than when they were fed on Alfalfa and it carried more head per acre. 
Rape, under favorable conditions, will yield 40 tons or 80,000 lbs. of green matter 
per acre. On a dry basis it analyzes high as 37% protein. It is also high in calcium 
and phosphorus. It is superior to Alfalfa and Clover as a corn balancer. It stands 
a reasonable amount of trampling and grazing if not eaten too close to the ground. 
Provides pasture from early spring until the ground freezes in the fall. 
Rape is a crop that grows and makes a heavy leafy growth. The leaves look some-

5000. pounds: of grain per acre and up to 8 tons of 
ensilage. Livestock, especially cattle, are very 
fond of it because of its sweet taste. It combines 
the: grain production of Kaffir and Milo with the 
high forage value of Cane. For grain production, 
drill it in rows, about as far apart as corn rows, 
using 6 to 8 pounds to the acre. You can double 
row it, using double the amount of seed. Should 
you want it for hay, put in at least 75 pounds to 
the acre in close drill rows or broadcast it. It ma- 
tures earlier than Atlas. The growth is at least 
three foot shorter. Price $4.10 per bu. of 50 Ibs.

THE EARLY MATURING COMBINE TYPE 
RIPENS IN ABOUT 90-95 DAYS 
This new low growing Milo Maize has become one of the most popu- 
lar of all the grain sorghums. It is a plant that has been dwarfed 
insofar as stalk growth is concerned. For grain production, however, 
it has remained very high. You can harvest this grain with an ordi- 
nary grain combine. Therefore if the crop has matured so that the 
seed is good and dry, you do not have to first cut it and shock it, you 
can combine it right out of the field. The seed is white in color and the 
feeding value runs quite close to that of corn. You will find this 
extremely drought resistant. It makes good feed for cattle and widely 
used for chicken feed. You get good insurance on a crop of grain by 
having some of this drought resist- 
KAFFIR CORN 
ant grain growing on your farm, 
$3.50 per bu., 56 lbs. In small quan- 
tities the same price as Hegari., 
The stocks of Kaffir Corn are 
less juicy than Cane, Hegari or 
Atlas. They are not sweet. They 
stand a lot of dry weather. 
Makes wonderful poultry feed. 
Produces up to 40 to 50 bushels 
per acre. For grain drill in rows 
30 to 40 inches apart, 6 to 8 lbs: 
to the acre. One way of thrash- 
ing it is to cut off the heads, 
cure them for 10 days to 2 
weeks and then thresh. It is 
especially well liked for winter 
poultry feed. The price is $4.10 
per bushel of 50 lbs. 
KALO 

what like cabbage leaves, but it does not form heads, It is more sprangled, One of 
the finest things about it is that it grows so fast, -If you are looking for a quick 
pasture, especially for hogs and sheep, you will find it hard to excel Dwarf Essex Rape. 
“Rape, Rape, Rape and more Rape. That should be an important part of the crop 
program on Jowa farms that carry livestock, particularly hogs, sheep and calves.’’ 
That is the way that Iowa Experiment Stations start out one of their Bulletins on 
Rape. Be sure to grow some. Sow it alone in the spring or with Oats and pasture 
when the Oats are removed. Some sow about the same time they sow Oats, others 
broadcast when the Oats are up a bit, and let the rains cover it. 
It may be sown in Corn at the time of last cultivation. Some drill it in rows and 
let the stock walk between the rows to eat it. Only requires about 5 or 6 Ibs, of 
the seed per acre. It grows on many soils. It does best on fertile, well drained 
loams. It is not so well adapted to sandy or stiff clay soil. Our seed is guaranteed 
genuine Dwarf Essex Rape, obtained from the best seeds grown in the United States.

This early Kalo is a very 
drought resistant grain  sor-

ducer in its class. Becoming 
very popular in sections outside 
of the grain sorghum section 
because of its fine quality and 
wide adaptability. $3.50 a
