SORGHUM GRAINS—(Continued) 
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 ft. Matures in 135 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. Heavy yielder, grows 30-40 inches tall and matures in about 110 
days. The grain has high feed value, preferred by many feeders. The plants are 
resistant to Pythium rot and stand erect. Plantings of 8 lbs. per acre in 36 inch 
rows have produced 5000 lbs. of grain. Use Certified seed to avoid the rogues that 
interfere with combining. 
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—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 profit- 
able crops that can 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—lIdentical 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 ma- 
turity 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. Plant 
Certified seed to produce more and avoid the rogues, the cost will be only 15 to 20¢ 
more per acre. 
WHEAT 
Marquis—A hard, red, beardless, spring wheat which has short, stiff straw. Productive 
on Western irrigated soils, about ten days earlier than most varieties. 
Thatcher—A new, rust resistant, hard, red, beardless spring wheat. 
Wichita—A new bearded, red, winter wheat. Its high yielding ability has placed it 
among leaders. 
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. 90¢. 
Cyanogas—See page 22.
