ROSWELL SEED COMPAN Y 
20 ESTABLISHED 1900 
SORGHUM GRAINS (Continued) 
will become 6-8 feet high when drilled in rows using 6 lbs. seed per acre. Thick sow- 
ings of 60-80 lbs. per acre, broadcast, will produce a heavy crop of very fine stems 
3-4 feet tall. 
Cane, Honey Drip—The most popular for syrup and it will make a heavy yield of high 
grade ensilage. The heavy, juicy, sweet leafy stalks are free stooling and will reach 
a height of 12 feet. Matures in 1385 days, plant 5-10 lbs. seed per acre in 3 ft. rows. 
Caprock Milo—The late maturing selection from the cross of double dwarf kafir and 
dwarf milo. Very heavy yielding, of the combine type. Will grow 30-40 inches tall 
and mature in about 110 days. The grain has high feed value, preferred by many feed- 
ers. The plants are resistant to Pythium rot and stand erect. Plantings of 8 lbs. per 
acre in 36 inch rows have produced 5000 lbs. Use certified seed for this type of crop 
to avoid rogues which interfere with combining and reduced yield. 
Darso or Bird-Proof Maize—Will grow 3-5 feet tall to produce good grain and forage. 
Heads are resistant to shattering and bird damage. Stalks are juicy and slightly _ 
sweet, they make good cured bundles. Matures in 115 days. 
Hegari, New Mexico Certified—Our best all-purpose feed crop. The grain rates high 
among feeds and sells readily. The sweet stalks will stool and make our best bundle 
feed, also used for green or dry ensilage. The grain is often threshed and the stalks 
pastured. One of the most drouth resisting crops. Matures in 114 days. Plant 8 lbs. 
per acre in three foot rows any time after danger of frost but late planting (about 
July 1st) will grow easier and produce better. Hegari is one of the most profitable 
crops to follow barley or oats in the double cropping program. 
Hegari, Arizona Certified—The same as the above with some contention that it matures 
sooner on a slightly shorter stalk. Very uniform in grain and stalk. 
Early Hegari—Identical with Hegari except: it matures about 15 days earlier, has 
fewer leaves and produces much less grain. Planted only when hegari does not have 
time to mature and grain is desired. 
Plainsman Milo—The early maturing sister of Caprock Milo. Grows about 30 inches 
tall and matures in about 105 days. The high feed value, combined with the early 
maturity has made Plainsman our most popular combine sorghum grain; it affords 
double cropping on irrigated lands and late planting as a dry-land crop. Erect plants 
are also resistant to Pythium rot. Plant the same as Caprock, yields will be slightly 
less. Make more grain and avoid the rogues by planting our certified seed which is 
one year from the Experiment Station. 
WHEAT 
Marquis—A hard, red, beardless, spring wheat which has short, stiff straw. Produc- 
tive on Western irrigated soils, about ten days earlier than most varieties. 
Thatcher—A new, rust resistant, hard, red, beardless spring wheat. 
Turkey Red—A hard, red, bearded wheat for fall planting. The well known main crop 
that is desired for milling. Deep rooted, requires little moisture. 
RAT & MOUSE POISONS 
Rat Scent—A poison grain that is scented to attract rats, mice, gophers, squirrels and 
prairie dogs. They cannot eat Rat Scent and live. 7 oz. box 35¢; 12 oz. box 50¢. 
Cowley’s Rat and Mouse Poison—Arsenic in liquid. Rats and mice accept it readily as 
a drink. Effective and simple to use. 6 oz. bottle 50¢. 
Dr. LeGear’s 3 Way Rat Killer—Contains 18.4% Antu that kills the Brown-Norway 
(common farm) rat. Used as a tracking poison, a bait poison and a water poison. 
1% oz. 75¢.
