ATLAS SORGO 
Early Drouth Resistant; Very 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 other 
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 4 
forage producer. From Nebraska, through Iowa and on Hast, down South to the Gulf itis 
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 leaye 
most any kind of feed to get at Atlas Sorgo. They thrive on it. In extreme drouth years.we 
have seen farmers bring their stock through the winter with nothing but Atlas Sorgo ted 
right out of the’ shock. It brought them through in excellent condition, fat and sleek;:in/thé 
spring, as though they had been fully corn fed. This crop also makes wonderful ensilage; 
Highly Drouth Resistant 
The average crop like corn for example, if it is severely injured by drouth it’ wills stop 
growing. Atlas Sorgo on the other hand will start up again. In sections where dréuth:¢onts 
pletely dried up corn, Atlas Sorgo remained green. The crop also seems highly; \resistankt 
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 unfavorably 
conditions makes it an extremely valuable crop. Grows 10 to 12 ft. tall. It has good“strean#® 
stocks. It is very resistant against lodging. The seeds of Atlas Sorgo are white and very pat 
atable. Plant 8-12 lbs. per acre at corn planting time or after. Rows 40 inches apart. Cuts4@chits 
tle before frost. Shock to cure. 
We have a supply of fine quality seed. High germinating. All forage seeds, including ‘Atlas 
Sorgo, are extra nice quality this year. This was due to a good growing season and unusually 
favorable fall weather for harvesting. See Item 220 on Price List for quotations. 
NORKAN Early Atlas 
This crop very closely resembles Atlas Sorgo in the way it grows and in the 
type of grain it produces. It is, however, quite a bit earlier in maturity (about 
10 days to 2 weeks earlier). That means, of course, it can be successfully grown 
much farther north than Atlas. In areas south of Central Iowa the Atlas would 
produce more tonnage as it makes a taller growth. However, areas having shorter 
seasons or for planting later in the season this Norkan is a good selection. While 
it will not make as tall a growth, the grain yields generally equals Atlas. 
This crop is a cross of Atlas Sorgo with Early Sumac Cane. It is sweet stalked 
and very palatable as a fodder crop. Plant like Atlas. Some double row these 
crops using 15 to 20 lbs. of seed per acre. 
We have some beautiful seed for you. See Item 221 on Price List.
