Grows 10 to 12 feet tall. Is late in maturing seed. A great drought

Here is a new wonderful fodder 
crop. Norkan is a cross between 
Atlas Sorgo and Early Sumac Cane. 
It looks very much like Atlas 
Sorgo. The plants are medium tall, 
sweet and juicy. Norkan matures 
about two weeks earlier than Atlas. 
Is better for the northern part of 
the Corn Belt. Does not grow 
quite as tall as Atlas Sorgo, but 
average height 8 to 10 feet, de- 
pending upon location and _ soil. 
Heavily leaved from top to ground. 
The grain yield is very heavy. 
Tests at Lincoln, Nebraska, show 
Norkan yield of grain, 55.8 bushels 
per acre.

vested and they obtain a good crop. Can be sown up to 
August Ist. Sow about 1 bushel or 48 pounds per acre. Our 
seed is recleaned, Our stock is the Japanese type. This type 
is most in demand. See price page 34, .
