ATLAS SORGO 
Atlas is considered by 
Agricultural authorities to 
be one of the greatest for- 
age crops developed in the 
last century. It is a cross 
between Sweet Sorgo and 
Blackhull Kaffir. Has made 
some sensational yields. 
One farmer reported nearly 
23 tons green feed per acre. 
Yields 2 and 83 times as 
much as Corn in dry sea- 
sons. Grows 10 to 12 feet 
tall. Is late in maturing 
seed. A great drought re- 
sister, 
A Very Valuable Crop 
Nothing better for ensi- 
lage. It has sweet juicy 
stalks. More palatable than Corn. Livestock, especially 
cattle, will eat it stalks and all. They will leave most any 
kind of hay or feed for Atlas Sorgo. Requires warm soil. 
Plant about 10 to 20 days after you plant Corn. Drill 8'to 
12 Ibs. per acre for single row planting. Sow 30 lbs. solid 
drilled or 40 lbs. broadcast. 
frost. Shock like Corn. 
Makes fine ensilage for a dairy herd.

Norkan New Early Atlas 
Here is a new wonderful fodder crop. Nor- 
kan is a cross between Atlas Sorgo and Early 
It looks very much like Atlas Sorgo. The 
Sumac Cane. ; 
plants are medium tall, sweet and juicy. Norkan matures 
about two weeks earlier than Atlas. Is better for the 
northern part of the Corn-belt. Does not grow quite as tall 
as Atlas Sorgo, but average height 8 to 10 feet, depending 
upon location and soil. Heavily leaved from top to ground. 
The grain yield is very heavy. Tests at Lincoln, Nebraska, 
shows Norkan yield of grain 55.8 bushels per acre. GREEN

KAFFI R Very Drouth Resistant 
CORN This is Kaffir Corn type. Is called a sor- 
ghum grain crop. The stalks are stout and 
fairly short. Stalks not quite as juicy as Cane. The seed 
heads are 10 to 15 inches long. For hay, sow 60 to 75 lbs. 



per acre. For grain, drill 8 Ibs. per acre in rows like Corn. | 
Stands lots of hot, dry weather. Makes excellent poultry 
feed and good for all kinds of livestock, when it 1s ground 
alone or with other grains. When it is harvested for grain, 
it will produce up to 40 bushels per acre, GREEN PRICE

COMBINE MILO 
Fine Poultry Feed 
This is also a member of the grain Sorghum family. The 
stalks are more slender than the Kaffir, but have no juice 
in them. Milo Maize is much earlier than Kaffir. The seed 
heads are much more compact and egg shaped. Grain is 
widely used in chicken feeds. Where seasons are short or 
a quick maturing kind is desired, the Milo Maize should be 
your selection. Milo Maize will also grow with less mois- 
ture. Grain has good feeding value. 
Milo should not be planted until after the ground is-thor- 
oughly warm. Two or three weeks after Corn planting is 
best. Spring plowing warms the land better. Sow 8 lbs. 
for grain, 75. lbs. for hay. 
The feeding value of these various Sorghum grains is 
about equal. SHE GREEN PRICE LIST Item No. 222. 

This is the HEGARI type of Sweet Stalked Sorgo or 
Sweet Sorghum, Is somewhat similar to Atlas Sorgo, but 
does not grow as tall. Livestock, especially cattle, are 
very fond of it due to its sweet taste. Is very nutritious. 
Valuable for grain, dry fodder, ensilage and pasture. Is 
very productive. Has been Known to yield up to 5,000 lbs. 
of grain per acre and up to 18 tons of ensilage. It com- 
bines the grain production of Kaffir and Milo with the high 
forage value of Cane. Is a great drought resister. For a 
grain crop, drill about 30 to 40 inches apart, using about 

8 lbs. of seed per acre. For hay, about 75 to 80 Ibs. per 
acre. SEE GREEN PRICE LIST Item No. 217. $ 
A Forage Crop You Should 
Know Better 
Cane is a high yielding palat- 
able forage crop. For hay seed 
75 to 100 Ibs. per acre. If cut 
for ensilage should be seeded in 
cultured rows using 10 to 20 
lbs. per acre. Canes are espe- 
cially valuable during hot, dry 
weather. They are drouth re- 
sistant and will grow when 
many other crops “burn out.” 
Produces an enormous tonnage of green feed Profitable 
seed crops up to 50 bu. per acre can be taken. Plant when 
the ground is warm—generally between the middle of May 
and June Ist.
