It Will Pay You to Plant SORGHUM for 
a 
BROOM CORN 
BROOM CORN 
Broom corn is a heat-loving plant, and the 
best brush is produced where the summers 
are rather warm and where soils are fertile 
and fairly well supplied with moisture. Plant 
any time between April Ist and’ July lst, de- 
pending on locality and weather canditions. 
Plant in 3'/2-foot rows, 8 to 10 inches apart. 
6 to 8 lbs. of seed plant an acre. 
IMPROVED EVERGREEN. The most productive 
variety in humid sections. Has a beautiful 
green brush and usually commands a high 
price. Plants 8 to 15 feet tall. 
Postpaid, 1 lb., 45c; 5 Ibs., $1.75; 10 Ibs., 
$3.00. 
SCARBROUGH DWARF. The leading dwart 
type. It differs from other varieties chiefly 
in bearing fewer seed, most of which are 
borne near the tip of the brush, where they 
are easily removed in stripping. Many fine 
seed branches near the tip of the brush 
make this variety valuable for the outside 
of brooms. Plants 4 to 6 feet tall. 
Postpaid, 1 lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $1.75; 10 Ibs., 
3.00. 
SWEET SUDAN 
Developed through several years cooperative 
breeding by Texas Experiment Station and 
U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry. In all their 
tests, planted side by side, Sweet Sudan was 
eaten first by cattle, grazed to the ground, 
while Common Sudan was second always, and 
grazed only to about a foot high. Grows 
anywhere Common Sudan grows. Plant just 
as you would Common Sudan, more disease 
resistant than Common Sudan, Sweet Sudan 
is sweet, juicy, and more palatable to live- 
stock. All Sudan is tender and juicy when 
young, but the new variety continues its 
sweetness up to the fruiting stage when Com- 
mon is drier and less palatable—this means 
a longer grazing period; more and broader, 
heavier and taller stalks, stools much heavier 
than Common Sudan. 
Postpaid, 1 lb., 35c; 5 lbs., $1.10; 10 Ibs., 
$2.00; 25 lbs., $3.75. 
ATLAS SORGO 
A large, drought resistant, heavy yielding, 
semi-sweet forage sorghum. Since it produces 
an unbelievable amount of grain and a tre- 
mendous tonnage of leaves and stalk of above 
the average in food value, we recommend 
this cane without reservation for silage. It 
is earlier maturing than our best native silage 
canes and corn. Plant when ground is warm 
in spring, 5 to 10 pounds per acre. 
Postpaid, 1 lb., 90c; 5 lbs., $1.00; 10 Ibe., 
$1.50.

® Drought Resistant © High Feeding Value 
All varieties of sorghum are drought resistant, and are considered 
among the surest of dry-land crops. 
Grain sorghums are used for feeding various classes of stock, including 
horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry. 
There is perhaps no important staple crop which varies so widely as sorghum. In Africa, 
the continent generally considered its native home, there are hundreds of distinct varieties, and 
in India and China almost as many more. After its introduction into the United States the con- 
tinued cross-pollination of sorghums in the field has resulted in many additional varieties. 
The sorghum crop has four uses—forage, grain, syrup, and industrial (such as the manu- 
facture of brooms, wallboard, etc.) Those best suited for grain production are of little value for 
syTup and, notwithstanding that all syrup varieties and most of the grain sorghums may be used 
as forage, there are wide differences in the quantity as well as in the quality of the forage 
obtained. It is quite important, therefore, to choose carefully the variety for planting. Confusion 
in the names of sorghum varieties is common. The same variety is grown and the seed mar- 
keted under many different names, and the same name is often applied to several varieties. 
All varieties of sorghum are drought-resistant, and are considered among the surest of dry- 
land crops. This point alone should encourage every farmer to plant at least a limited acreage. 
Grain sorghums are used for feeding various classes of stock, including horses, cattle, sheep, 
swine and poultry. Plant a feed crop this year and include the varieties of grain sorghums 
best adapted to your immediate section. 
GOLDEN MILLET 
Big head, large yielding type. One of the 
easiest grown summer catch crops when feed 
is short. It smothers out weeds, leaving ground 
in fine condition for fall crops. It is a very 
rapid grower, can be planted up to August, 
making a bumper nutritious hay crop in 60 
ere sb | 
i 
{ & : 4 ae » days. Cut when plant is in early bloom. Millet 
hay is a fine cattle feed. Under certain con- 
ditions it is considered injurious to horses and 
mules, affecting their kidneys. This should be 
overcome by sowing 25 pounds of millet with 
a bushel of peas per acre. 
Eure 1 lb., 30c; 5 lbs., $1.00; 10 Ibs., 
BARNYARD MILLET 
The Department of Agriculture says it will 
thrive in practically any part of the country. 
In Memphis territory it grows 4 to 6 feet high, 
yielding an enormous crop that is relished by 
stock, equal in quality to corn fodder. 
Hunting clubs find that it is about their best 
bet to attract wild ducks, affording an abun- 
dance of feed when sown along the edges of 
lakes and allowed to mature seed. Sow in 
May, June or July, 20 pounds per acre broad- 
cast, or sow in 15-inch drills and cultivate un- 
til plants are 18 inches high. 
Postpaid, 1 lb., 35c; 5 Ibs., $1.25; 10 lbs.. 
$2.25. 
PEARL OR CATTAIL MILLET 
One of the greatest and best yielders of 
green forage and continues to grow and pro- 
duce through the entire season if cut fre 
quently enough to prevent its going to seed; 
three to four cuttings may be had. Sow thinly 
in rows 3 feet apart at rate of 8 to 10 pounds 
per acre. 
Postpaid, 1 Ib., 45c: 5 lbs., $1.75; 10 Ibs., 
$3.00.
