SORGHUMS — For fnsilago — Fodder — Syrup 
POPULAR FODDER CANES 
Red Top or Sumac—110 days. Formerly the principal forage 
crop of the Southwest, but yielding acreage to newer sor- 
ghums. Slender stalks and abundant leaves, combined with 
drouth-resistant features make it a fine fodder. Yields 4 to 
6 tons dry forage per acre. Plant 6 to 8 lbs. to acre in rows, 
50 Ibs. broadeast. 
Early Orange—1l100 days. A later variety than the Black 
Amber, which is also used for forage and hay. It is some- 
what taller and the stalks are heavier. A splendid producer, 
but not quite so popular as Black Amber because it is later. 
Plant 8 to 10 lbs. to acre in rows—50 Ibs. broadeast. 
Black Amber 
early green feed or ensilage. It is the earliest sort and makes 
fine hay, green or cured, which is relished by stock. Will 
yield 2 to 3 cuttings each year, stooling out thicker each 
time it is cut. Plant 8 to 10 lbs. to acre in rows—50 lbs. 

95 days. A popular Saccharine Sorghum for 
SYRUP CANES 
These triple purpose canes make money for producers. Used 
for syrup production, ensilage, or seed and dry forage. For 
syrup, cut just before seeds ripen, as there is more saccha- 
rine at that stage. Plant 5 to 10 lbs. per acre, and cultivate 
like corn. Chop like cotton, leaving plants 12 to 15 inches 
apart in the row. 
Japanese or Honey Drip—125 days. Makes 150 to 200 gallons 
of syrup per acre; or 10 to 15 tons of green forage; or 800 
to 1200 lbs. of seed. Grows very tall with many joints in the 
stalks and with a vigorous root system. Kspecially recom- 
mended for ensilage, as well as for syrup. For ensilage sow 
12 to 15 lbs. per acre; for syrup 5 to 10 lbs. 
Golden Rod or Sugar Drip—A cane which produces an excel- 
lent flavored and beautiful amber-colored syrup, with an 
approximate yield of 200 gallons per acre. Does not make as 
much green forage as the Honey Drip but is highly recom- 
mended for syrup. Planting instructions same as for Honey 

broadcast. 
Drip. 
GRAIN SORGHUMS 
ATLAS SORGO 
90 to 95 days. Fine saccharine variety, 
which is especially recommended for en- 
silage, as it grows from 7 to 8 feet high 
and the yield of forage is very heavy 
and the stalk sweet. The strain runs 
out in three years so be sure to get new 
seed, produced by a Seed Breeder, not 
less than every three years. Plant in 
rows, April to July; 8 to 10 lbs. to the 
acre. 
DARSO: 
110 days. A dwarf variety with large 
stalk and heavy foliage. The stalk is 
straight and juicy and contains about 
12 per cent saccharine, making it espe- 
cially good for forage and excellent for 
ensilage. Drouth resistant. Darso 
yields 3 to 5 tons per acre of dry for- 
age, and 30 to 40 bushels of grain. 
Plant April to July, 8 to 10 lbs. per 
acre in rows, or broadcast 50 Ibs. 
EARLY HEGARI 
ARIZONA STATE CERTIFIED 
105 days. Identical in type to our regu- 
lar Hegari, but where early frosts are 
encountered, yields are increased by 
planting the Early variety. For late 
plantings (June) Early Hegari usual- 
ly has shown forage production about 
equal to regular Hegari, but substan- 
tially heavier grain production. State 
certification of our seed ensures uni- 
formity and maximum productivity. 
HEGARI 
ARIZONA STATE CERTIFIED 
115 days. Hegari is one of the most im- 
portant varieties of grain sorghum in 
the Southwest. It produces an enor- 
mous crop of grain under favorable 
conditions, and a large yield of excel- 
lent fodder even under somewhat un- 
favorable conditions. Normal yield 
ranges from 8 to 12 tons of green for- 
age per acre. The large heads of creamy 
white grain do not shatter, and the 
numerous large leaves and juicy stalks 
are relished by livestock. Many. grow- 
ers are harvesting Hegari with com- 
bines. Plant April to July, 8 to 10 lbs. 
per acre in rows, or broadcast 50 lbs. 

MARTIN’S COMBINE MILO 
95 days. A very early maturing variety 
which suckers very little. Resistant to 
Pythium Root Rot. On the basis of 
average yield, Plainsman Milo is a sub- 
stantial heavier producer than Mar- 
tin’s, however, the Martin’s head dries 
out and threshes well early in the sea- 
son, which reduces the hazard of pos- 
sible bad weather with damage to the 
grain. This latter quality makes Mar- 
tin’s the preference of a considerable 
number of growers. Plant April to 
June, in rows, 8 to 10 lbs. to the acre. 
PLAINSMAN COMBINE MILO 
100 to 105 days. This variety continues 
to lead in popularity, particularly in 
the northern and western parts of the 
state. It continues to show the same 
uniformity, which is such an important 
factor in Combine Milo. Plainsman re- 
peatedly attains yields that are out- 
standing by comparison, and the stout- 
er stalks stand up longer awaiting the 
harvest. Plainsman produces grain of 
fine quality and fodder that is well 
liked by livestock. We recommend it 
for grain production, wherever the com- 
bine type of milo is wanted. Plant 
April to June, in rows, 8 to 10 lbs. to 
the acre. 
SCHROCK KAFIR E 
(Sagrain) 
115 days. Produces 8 to 15 
tons of green forage, fine 
for ensilage, or 40 to 50 
bushels of hght brown grain 
of excellent stock and poul- 
try feeding value, and 4 to 
8 tons of dry forage. Very 
quick growth and stools out 
remarkably, producing from 
6 to 8 stalks per seed. Plant 
April to July, 6 to 8 lbs. per 
acre,

MAGNOLIA 
MILLET 
Quick growth of millet makes it very 
des.rable for hay and pasturage—par- 
ticularly in times of drouth. Plant from 
April to August. For seed and to pro- 
duce farge heads, sow from 5 to 10 Ibs. 
to acre, broadcast about 50 Ibs. to the 
acre. 
Pearl or Cat Tail (Pencillaria)—Hspe- 
cially recommended for a continuous 
cutting forage plant. Grows very tall 
but if cut when 3 to 4 feet high, will 
stool rapidly and can be cut three or 
four times in one season. Plant 8 to 
10 Ibs. per acre in drills 3 feet apart 
or sow broadcast 20 to 30 lbs. per acre. 
Do not sow before May. 
Big German—Now recognized as the 
finest quality, becoming more popular 
each year. Produces extra large heads, 
and grows rank, 4 to 5 feet tall. The 
best variety for hay, for which it 
shoud be cut when in full bloom. On 
good soil, a yield of five tons per acre 
is not unusual. 
Hog or Manitoba—This variety pro- 
duces an extra large head and grain; 
high in feeding value for stock or poul- 
try. You should find a very ready mar- 
ket at all times for this variety.
