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. $1.25; 25 ibs. $2.60; 50 Ibs. $4.60; 100 Ibs. $8.50 
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. Experi- 
ment 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. $1.00; 50 Ibs. $4.00; 100 Ibs. $7.50 
MARTIN'S COMBINE MILO 
Yields 40 to 100 bu. per. acre 
1. It has a mass of fine roots which draw more of the available moisture from 
the soil. 
2. Its comparatively small leaf area reduces the loss of moisture. 
3. It has an evaporation-resistant waxy coating on leaves and sheaths. 
4. It has the ability to suspend growth during periods of sever drought and 
then resume growth when conditions improve. 
For western and southwestern states we advise—Plant the Limit of this 
Combine Milo for grain which the United States and the World needs. Only 
6 to 8 pounds per acre. 
10 Ibs. 95¢; 25 Ibs. $2.00; 50 Ibs. $3.75; 100 Ibs. $6.25; 500 Ibs. $29.60
