OTHER MONEY MAKING CROPS FOR GRAIN, HAY AND PASTURE 


CANE 
MAKES TREMENDOUS YIELDS 

This forage Cane is very rich in sugar and 
fat. It is a very palatable crop. Its yields are 
enormous as it produces 10 to 15 tons of excel- 
lent green feed on rich land. It also is a re- 
markable drought resister. It is especially val- 
uable in dry, hot seasons. You can use it either 
for fodder or for hay. If you want it for hay 
make the seeding at a heavier rate of 75 to 100 
pounds to the acre. For a fodder crop you can 
drill it in rows as far apart as corn rows, using 
around 10 pounds to the acre, or double up the 
rows and use 20. For hay the heavier your rate 
of seeding, the finer the growth. Some farmers 
sell their regular hay crop for cash and use 
Cane for their own feed supply. A few acres 
of Cane will make as much hay as Many acres 
of Timothy and livestock will relish it and fat- 
ten on it. It also makes wonderful ensilage. It 
is a good seed producer yielding as high as 60 
bushels to the acre, Do not plant it until corn 
planting time or after. It wants warm weather and a warm 
seed bed. 
Early Amber type, the kind most generally grown, a great value 
because of its splendid growing power. Item 216 on Price List.

HEGARI 
This is a sweet sorghum, somewhat after “Aig 
order of the Atlas Sorgo and the Norkan, de- 
scribed on the previous page. It does not grow as 
tall. The stalks are very sturdy. The crop is very 
nutritious, whether used as a fodder, for ensilage, 
grain or even as pasture. Hegari yielded up to 
5000 pounds of grain per acre and up to 8 tons of 
ensilage. Livestock, especially cattle, are very 
fond of it because of its sweet taste. It combines 
the grain production of Kaffir and Milo with the 
high forage value of Cane. For grain production, 
drill it in rows, about as far apart as corn rows, 
using 6 to 8 pounds to the acre. You can double 
row it, using double the amount of seed. Should 
you want it for hay, put in at least 75 pounds to 
the acre in close drill rows or broadcast it. It ma- 
tures earlier than Atlas, The growth is at least 
three foot shorter. Item 217 on Price List. Order 
this and all other forages chemically treated for 
best results. See pages 8 and 32. 
MILO 
THE EARLY MATURING COMBINE TYPES 
RIPENS IN ABOUT 90-95 DAYS 
These new low growing Milos have become the most popular of all 
more compact. Heavier yielder but a little coarser. Cane seed is the grain sorghums. They have been dwarfed insofar as stalk growth 
more plentiful this year. See Item No. 215 on Price List.

You can harvest this grain with an ordinary grain combine. 
Therefore, if the crop has matured so that the seed is good and dry, 
you do not have to first cut it and shock it, you can combine it right 
out of the field. Feeding value runs quite close to that of corn. You

ENORMOUS YIELDING HIGH PROTEIN PASTURE 
DWARFUESSEX RAPE 
A Crop that Will Help You Reduce Pork Production Cost 
This is a very rapid growing crop. It is one of the greatest of quick growing 
forage and pasture crops for the cornbelt. It can be pastured within 6 to 8 weeks 
after seeding. You can sow it any time from early spring until next summer. Rape 
is equal to Alfalfa in feeding value for hogs and sheep, and it also is good for calves, 
eattle and horses. With Rape pasture you can cut down the amount of grain that is 
required, and you will get your hogs ready for market quicker. In tests at the Iowa 
Experiment Station Rape pasture cut down more on grain consumption and tankage 
than when they were fed on Alfalfa and it carried more head per acre, 
Rape, under favorable conditions, will yield 40 tons or 80,000 Ibs. of green matter 
per acre. On a dry basis it analyzes high as 37% protein. It is also high in ealecium 
and phosphorus. It is superior to Alfalfa_and Clover as a corn balancer, Provides 
pasture from early spring until the ground freezes in the fall. 
Rape is a crop that grows and makes a heavy leafy growth. The leaves look some- 
what like cabbage leaves, but it does not form heads. One of the finest things about 
it is that it grows so fast. If you are looking for a quick pasture, especially for hogs 
and sheep, you will find it hard to excel Dwarf Essex Rape. 
Be sure to grow some. Sow it alone in the spring or with Oats and pasture when 
the Oats are removed. Some sow about the same time they sow Oats, others broad- 
cast when the Oats are up a bit, and let the rains cover it. : 
Only requires about 5 or 6 Ibs. of the seed per acre. It grows on many soils. It does 
best on fertile, well drained loams. It is not so well adapted to sandy or stiff clay 
soil, Our seed is guaranteed genuine Dwarf Essex Rape, obtained from the best seeds 
grown in the United States. ; 
The new crop domestic Rape in Idaho is of lower germination than usual. Berry’s 
have again bought the cream of the crop testing 90% or better to insure their 
customers of the best money can buy. Still you’ll find 
our price no higher than others; in fact lower than most.

Sows More Acres Because of High Quality 
T have been sending to you for my seed for the past 
several years and have been well pleased. This last spring 
tp an order but when the seed came it looked so 
good that I decided to sow more. It has been very satis-

KAFFIR CORN 
The stalks of Kaffir Corn are 
less juicy than Cane, Hegari or 
Atlas. They are not sweet. They 
stand a lot of dry weather. 
Makes wonderful poultry feed. 
Produces up to 40 to 50 bushels 
per acre. For grain drill in rows 
30 to 40 inches apart, 6 to 8 lbs. 
to the acre. One way of thrash- 
ing it is to cut off the heads, 
cure them for 10 days to 2 
weeks and then thresh. It is 
especially well liked for winter 
poultry feed. Item No. 223 on 
Price List. 
EARLY KALO 
This early Kalo is a very 
drought resistant grain sor- 
ghum, while the heaviest pro- 
ducer in its class. Becoming 
very popular in sections outside 
of the grain sorghum section 
because of its fine quality and 
wide adaptability. Grows 3% 
to 4 ft. high. Matures in 95 to 
100 days. Stalks are slender.
