ABOUT CORN BORER RESISTANCE: 
Some hybrids, now available, will tolerate corn borer; that is 
they'll suffer less damage from borer attacks than others, and 
they'll produce a crop in spite of borer attacks. This charac- 
teristic is sometimes referred to as ‘‘corn borer resistance”, 
whereas ‘'tolerance’’ would be a more accurate term. Strong 
borer tolerance in a particular hybrid is generally due to 
superior stalk and shank qualities of the inbred lines. Sturdier 
stalks and shanks mean less breakage after borer attacks, 
hence the hybrid is said to tolerate the borer. Yields however 
will be somewhat reduced by damage done within the stalk. 
Prospects for truly borer-resistant hybrids in the near future, 
are very promising. In our own breeding program under arti- 
ficial borer transplanting, certain of our inbreds are now show- 
ing actual borer resistance, which points the way to hybrids 
of the future with a combination of borer tolerant stalks, plus

Minn. and Iowa Stations recommend grow- 
ing Minnesota Orange Sorghum for syrup. 
It can be trucked to sorghum mills in either 
State, for syrup production. 
FARMER SEED 
SORGHUM CANE 
MINNESOTA ORANGE SORGHUM 
An early strain selected from Waconia Orange, 
grown in Southern and South Central Minnesota 
for many years. Grows heavier but shorter stalks 
than Amber Cane and withstands storms and wet 
weather without lodging. Sow 8 to 10 lbs. per 
acre for syrup. An excellent sweet stalk sorgo, 
that produces 5 to 10 tons of quality cane per acre, 
and 25 to 40 bushels of seed per acre. Over 200 
gallons of delicious, golden yellow syrup from 
one acre! This sorghum syrup is preferred by 
consumers because it’s lighter in color. Price: 
5 Ibs. $1.25, postpaid. (See Price List.) : 
FODDER CANE — ‘southern Grown.) 
A profitable feed crop producing as much as 30 
to 35 tons of green feed per acre. It makes good 
hay if cut before it grows too high. It matures 
later than Early Amber Cane. Sow SO to 60 lbs. 
broadcast or 12 to 15 Ibs. in drills per acre. 
(See Blue Figure Price List.) 
AND NURSERY CO., 
A GRAIN SORGHUM 
FOR NORTHERN FARMERS! 
NORGHUM SORGHUM is the new early combine 
sorghum that can be grown successfully by farm- 
ers here in the northern corn belt! When you're 
going to be short of feed, because of reduced corn 
acreage, new Norghum Sorghum is the answer! 
Developed in South Dakota, for early maturity 
and high grain yields, Norghum is ready to harvest 
by mid-September, — stands up well, and grows 
36 to 45 inches high. Long, open seed clusters 
permit early and thoroygh drying. Yields averaged 
47.7 bushels per acre, in 3 year trials. For live- 
stock feed, 100 pounds of sorghum equals 95 
pounds of corn. Thrives in a wide range of soils 
and climates. Drought resistant. Plant in rows, and 
cultivate like corn. Seed 2¥% to 4 lbs. per acre 
(2% lbs. on light, dry soils). Here's a great, new 
grain sorghum to solve your feed problem! See 
Blue Figure Price List.
