FIELD CORN 
10 pounds will plant an acre. The proper selecticn and care of 
Seed Corn is more important and exacting than the average 
grower realizes, and in appearance corn suitable for seed pur- 
poses is often deceiving and its seed qualities can only be de-

OPEN POLLINATED VARIETIES 
COLORADO No. 13—A selection out of Minnesota No. 13 by our 
State Agricultural College, bred for earliness and high yield- 
ing quality. The most widely used Yellow Dent variety, 
maturing in 100 to 110 days. 
MINNESOTA No. 13—Is one of the most popular Yellow Dent 
Corn for Colorado and the western states. It is early matur- 
ing, stalks are tall and leafy, and is excellent for grain or 
silage. 
termined by actual tests for germination and vitality. Our Seed 
Corn is strictly Colorado grown (except the ensilage and Hybrid 
varieties), is acclimated and will ripen earlier than eastern 
grown seed. 

COLORADO YELLOW DENT —This is a variety of Yellow 
Dent Corn developed in Colorado and is especially well 
adapted for planting in the dry-land district and in the north, 
as it is very drought resisting and matures early. Fine for 
grain, fodder or ensilage. 
BLUE SQUAW-— It is extremely early and of very dwarf habits. 
Average length of ears 714 inches, grain of dark purple color 
' and sugary. Better for hogging down than the White or 
Yellow Flints as the grain is not as hard. Ready to use in 
about 70 days. 

SPELTZ OR EMMER 
A valuable grain belonging to the wheat family. Kernels are 
tightly enclosed in hulls which adhere at threshing. Speltz 
has a feeding value equal to oats, and only slightly less than 
barley and corn. It is extremely rust resistant and will not lodge 
like other grains because of its heavy stiff straw. Can be 
grown on any type soil. Makes wonderful feed and is especially 
fine for hogs and poultry. Sow about 80 lbs. per acre. 
SOY BEANS 
MANCHU—It is outstanding for all purposes—hay, feed, hog- 
ging down as well as for planting with corn for the silo. 
Excellent yields of hay or a large crop of beans. A good 
average crop will produce 20 to 30 bushels of beans per acre. 
Manchu is a robust grower of vines which stand_up well and 
are equally cut with corn or grain binders. This variety 
matures in about 100 days. 
MILLET 
Millet is a wonderful forage and hay crop. It affords a quick, 
luxuriant growth of hay of good feeding value and requires no 
cultivation. Millet may be fed green or cured. The value of Millet 
for late planting and emergency crops after others fail should 
not be overlooked. They can be planted late in July and still 
make considerable forage. Sow about 20 pounds to the acre. 
WHITE WONDER—A variety which has taken the place of 
common millet and has qualities superior to other varieties. 
It is early, the heads are very large and long, and the foliage 
is heavy yet easily cured. 
MANITOBA OR HOG—A valuable peculiarity of Hog Millet is 
that seed ripen while the hay is yet green, which, if cured at 
the proper time, can be threshed for seed, while the hay 
makes excellent fodder after being threshed. 
SIBERIAN OR RED RUSSIAN—Earlier, more hardy, rust- 
proof, and less liable to damage by insects, an extremely 
heavy cropper; stalks tall, and of finer quality than any other 
sort. Best variety for hay. 
GERMAN OR GOLDEN—This is one of the best forage plants 
grown in this country. Under ordinary conditions will pro- 
duce from 4 to 5 tons of hay per acre, and from 50 to 75 
bushels of seed. When sown early it leaves the ground in 
splendid condition for wheat. 
SWEET SORGHUMS 
CULTURE—For forage crops, sow 50 to 75 pounds per acre; 
for grain, 5 to 6 pounds, in rows and cultivate the same as corn. 
Forage is very palatable to stock. 
BLACK AMBER CANE-—Is the best known and is the favorite 
on account of its earliness and resistance to drought. : 
MIXED CANE—This is valuable as a forage crop. Do not plant 
for a seed crop. 
ORANGE CANE—A heavy yielding variety grown for forage 
and silage. It is rather late in maturing seed, as it takes from 
100 to 110 days. 
RED TOP OR SUMAC CANE—Very desirable for forage as 
the stalks are sweet and very leafy. The seed shells out clean 
like the grain sorghums and is better for feed than other 
varieties of Cane. : 
COES SORGO—Is a Kafir-headed sorgo with a long, compact 
head and fine stem, high in sugar contents. Suckers profusely 
making large quantities of fine leafy feed. The grain is equal 
to feeding value of Kaf.r. 
GRAIN SORGHUMS 
CULTURE—For forage crops, sow 50 to 75 pounds per acre; 
for grain, 5 to 6 pounds in rows and cultivate the same as 
Corn. Forage is not quite as palatable for stock as the Sweet. 
Sorghums. 
WHITE KAFIR (Dwart Black Hull)—Usually grows 5 to 6 feet 
tall in the dry land areas. Heads are heavy and compact, 10 
to 14 inches long with black hulls and white seeds. The grain 
makes good feed for poultry and cattle. 
HEGARI—tThis is one of the earliest maturing of the grain 
sorghums. It is very similar to Kafir. The grain is nearly 
equal to corn in feeding value. The stalks are leafy and make 
excellent fodder. 
MILO (Sooner or Sixty Day)—A non-saccharine sorghum of 
high feeding value. This is the plant that is being so largely 
raised for its grain in the dry plains of eastern Colorado and 
western Kansas. The seed is iarger than the seed of Kafir and 
not as hard and equal to corn in feeding value for stock and 
poultry. 
RED KAFIR—Stalk is slender with many leaves producing as 
mueh fodder as other Kafirs. Seed head cylindrical, 10 to 14 
inches long. 
MARTIN’S COMBINE MILO—An extremely short, stocky 
straight shanked Milo. Has erect heads and seeds—threshes 
free from the glumes, The seeds are yellow and of large size. 
Strictly a combine type grain sorghum. 
VETCH 
Vetches, either green or as hay, make excellent feed and are 
also used extensively as. cover and green manure crops. They 
make good hay, ensilage, pasture and green feed and are very 
valuable as a green fertilizer and as a cover crop in orchard 
preventing the washing away of the soil. 
WINTER, SAND OR HAIRY VETCH—Is very winter hardy 
and is a fine crop to sow in the fall following harvest of crop. 
Sow 60 lbs. per acre. May also be seeded in the fall with winter 
rye for a hay crop, about August 1 to 20 using about 30 lbs. 
of Vetch and 40 lbs. of Fall Rye per acre. 
SPRING VETCH—Sow in the spring at the rate of 60 lbs. per | 
acre or with a grain crop such as oats, wheat, rye or barley, — 
at the rate of 30 Ibs. per acre and using one-half of the. 
normal rate of small grain. This combination makes excellent 
forage or hay and also aids in preventing the Vetch from 
lodging.
