RANCHER SORGHUM > 
The newest introduction in sorghums released by the South Dakota Experi- 
ment Station, will save stockmen thousands of dollars by preventing losses 
from acid poisoning and give us a dependable safe forage. RANCHER 
Sorghum is a hybrid developed by crossing and recrossing Low Acid selections 
from Dakota Black Amber. 
It has a sweet leafy stalk plant with the lowest hydrocyanic acid content of 
any named forage sorghum variety in production; it contains only one-third the 
acid of the Low Acid Cane and only one-tenth of the dangerous acid content 
of commercial varieties of cane. It looks to us as if this will make Rancher 
Sorghum as safe to pasture as Bluegrass. 
It has produced six and one-half tons of forage and 2,260 pounds of grain per 
acre, 25 per cent more than the Amber Cane alongside it. 
10 Ibs. $1.85, 25 Ibs. $4.10, 50 Ibs. $7.60, 100 Ibs. $14.50 
LOW-ACID CANE 
A South Dakota State College introduction which yields more than ordinary 
cane and has only one-fourth the acid of other commercial varieties. Experiment 
Stations show that this sorghum produces more forage and feed units per acre 
regardless of moisture supply. Used for silage in mixture with corn or by itself 
by many farmers east and west. 
10 Ibs. $1.30; 50 Ibs. $5.50; 100 Ibs. $10.00 
OATS with an OVERCOAT 
for Western and Southwest farms 
Brunker Oats No. 2054 are frost resistant. They can be planted in late 
February or early in March and are not materially injured by spring freezing. 
When other varieties of oats were killed by late April heavy freeze last year, 
Brunker oats came through uninjured and made record yields of grain per 
acre. They are also smut and rust resistant. Order without delay. You will 
get real value for your money. HEarliness Cheats Hazards of July. 
10 bu. for $22.50; 20 bu. or more at $2.20 bu.
