SWEET SORGHUMS 
KANSAS ORANGE. Large heavy stalks with abundant leaves. 
Used for making sorghum. 
GRAIN SORGHUM 
ATLAS SORGO. Height of 7 to 10 feet and require from 120 to 
et pole * mature. Has a sturdy leaf stalk abundantly juicy 
and sweet. 
AXTELL SORGO. An improved selection out of Atlas Sorgo. 
Height 6 to 8 feet and matures in 115 days, about 10 days 
earlier than Atlas. 
HEGARI (Dwarf). This greatly resembles the Dwarf Black- 
hulled White Kaffir, but the heads are larger, the stems 
thicker and more juicy. Grows 4 to 4% feet tall, matures in 
85 to 100 days. Enormous yield and the earliness combine to 
make a wonderful variety. 
KAFFIR NO. 44-14. A sturdy, hardy Kaffir suitable for com- 
bining. A wonderful addition to the sorghum line not only 
because of its height, which permits combining, but also 
because of its vigorous growth and its ability to yield well 
even under adverse conditions of heat and drought. 
WESTLAND MILO. A dwarf variety. This is an improvement 
over Wheatland Milo in that it is healthier and more resistant 
to disease. 
MARTIN MILO. It is combine height and should be grown 
for grain only and not for fodder. It resists drought, ma- 
tures early, dries quickly, and is unsurpassed as a grain crop. 
PASTURE AND HAY 
Grassland farming is the key to put our soil in condition 
to produce adequately for mankind’s needs. Return farm 
land of questionable value to grass. Reseeded pastures 
KAFFIR 
GRASS MIXTURES 
can support more cattle and produce two to four times as 
much beef per acre as well managed native range. 
IRRIGATED PASTURES 
A good mixture should contain at least one productive 
legume. Dairy cattle are less subject to bloat than beef 
cattle because of the supplemental feed them receive. We 
feel alfalfa is a little dangerous to use. 
Our Columbine Mixture for irrigated soils is a good mix- 
ture for most areas.

Seed beds should be fine, firmly packed, free from weeds 
and well graded. A shallow cultivation before seeding will 
destroy weed growth. Seeding can be done in spring or 
early fall. Drilling is the best method of planting followed 
by a surface packer. The ground should be kept fairly 
moist until the grass is well up. It would be best not to 
graze the pasture the first year.
