SORGHUM and SUGAR CANE 
Plant when the ground becomes thoroughly warm, say two weeks after corn planting, in rows 31/2 to 4 feet apart, and 
cultivate as you would corn. Will make a satisfactory crop on any well-drained soil that will produce a good crop 
of corn or wheat. May be cut or pastured after the flowering stage is passed, but not earlier. 
grown with cowpeas and soy beans, either in rows or broadcast. 
Plant about 8 to 10 pounds per acre for forage. 
thin out to stand 4 to 6 inches apart, and cut just before the heads ripen. 
Bushel weighs 50 Ibs. 
to 600 pounds 2-12-4 per acre. 
SUGAR DRIP SORGHUM 
Since we introduced this variety many years 
ago there has been no new sorghum that has 
been brought out that can compare with it in 
yield of syrup. It makes a large juicy, succu- 
lent growth. It will yield about 65% of the 
weight of the cane in juice when extracted by 
a good farm mill, and stronger mills should ex- 
tract as much as 75% to 80%. 
One reason for the great popularity of Sugar 
Drip Sorghum is due to its tremendous yield 
of seed which is equal to corn per acre, and 
in addition to its enormous syrup yield the 
seed of this genuine strain can always be sold 
at a very attractive price well above the value 
of corn. Sugar drip Sorghum also has less ten- 
dency to granulate and sugar than any other 
variety, which is a most important factor when 
you offer syrup for sale.

EARLY ORANGE CANE 
Makes a taller and more leafy growth than other forage 
sorghums. It is recommended for fodder, of which it 
yields immense crops, frequently two cuttings a season, 
and sfooling out thicker after cutting. Orange Cane is 
particularly recommended for early plantings in Vir- 
ginia and general plantings in the Southern States. Will 
make a larger growth and more saccharine content than 
Amber Cane. It may be grown with soybeans and cow- 
peas as recommended for Early Amber Cane, and the 
quantity to plant an acre is the same. 
A DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE OFFICIAL SAYS: 
"Wood's Texas Seeded Ribbon Cane is the only pure strain of 
this sorghum we have ever been able to find. It is far superior 
to the common commercial seed which is usually badly mixed 
with non-saccharine sorghum of inferior growth. It is the best 
sorghum for ensilage or syrup. It makes 20 to 28 tons of silage 
per acre compared to 15 tons for ordinary Texas Seeded Rib- 
bon Cane and other ‘commercial sorghums in our tests. For 
pres years we have used it exclusively on the State College 
arms."" 
TEXAS SEEDED RIBBON “CANE 
The tallest and heaviest producing Syrup Sorghum, frequently yielding 175 to 200 gallons of Syrup 
per acre, with a bright amber color and delicious flavor. Grows 12 feet tall with abundance of 
leafy fodder, and one of the best sorghums for silage. Later maturing than the Sugar Drip and 
recommended only for the Piedmont and Coastal sections of Virginia, the Carolinas, and all other 
Southern states. Our strain of this sorghum, which we have been supplying for a number of years 
has been outstanding for both syrup, silage or hay. A trial will convince you of its merit. « 
CERTIFIED HEGARI 
Hegari is one of the most valuable of all grain sorghums, and very similar in growth and appear- 
ance of grain to Kaffir Corn, but makes a larger, leafier growth, stools better, makes more heads 
per acre, and consequently heavier yields of grain are obtained. It is a semi-sweet stalk (about 
11% sugar), whereas Kaffir is a dry stalk, and it will make more bundled feed and grain com- 
bined than any other sorghum. The fact that the stalk is readily eaten by animals either in the 
process of pasturing off in the fields following removal of heads, or in the form of harvested forage, 
makes it a favorite with farmers and livestock men. An average acre of Hegari may be expected 
to yield, under ordinary growing conditions, 12 tons of silage or 1,800 pounds of threshed grain 
per acre. Some yields have run as high as 4,000 pounds on irrigated land, and of course a larger 
growth of silage. It is generally considered that Hegari silage is about 15% more valuable than 
corn silage. For combine grain crop, use Certified Early Hegari. See page 55. ; 
Drill 5 pounds per acre in rows about 12 inches apart, and cultivate. Matures in 110 to +120 
days, and should be planted the same as corn. 

scatar Drip Sorghum 
Kaffir Corn and ordinary Milo Maize we are not offering for seed purposes this year, due to 
the fact that we consider Hegari much better substitute for Kaffir Corn as a grain and forage 
crop. Combine Milo as a grain producer is far ahead of the ordinary tall growing milo and more 
easily harvested. The grain of both Hegari and Combine Milo makes fine feed for stock, hogs, 
poultry and pigeons, and can be fed either whole or ground. 
EARLY AMBER CANE 
One of the earliest sorghums and furnishes a large yield of most nutritious forage which may be 
fed either green or cured. If planted early, it will yield two cuttings a season, stooling out thicker 
each time it is cut. If grown with cowpeas or soybeans, the quality of the hay is improved and a 
more nearly balanced ration may be had. The proportions recommended are 15 pounds Early 
ames ae, Vy bushel of soybeans and | bushel cowpeas to the acre broadcast. Grows 10 to 12 
eet high. 
SHALLU or EGYPTIAN WHEAT 
A non-saccharine sorghum of special value in dry seasons; few forage plants are more drought- 
resistant. It grows tall, stools out—three to six stalks frequently come from a single root. Cut when 
at the dough stage, and a second cutting may be had. For cattle, horses, sheep, hogs and poultry, 
the grain may be fed either whole or ground.
