KAFFIR, BLACKHULL—tThe old reliable standard white kaffir. 
HEGARI—The most popular grain and forage sorghum because of its many uses, wide adaptability,

ensilage and a grain crop. Stems juicy, sweet and slightly brittle when mature.

be planted very early or very late. Stems are stalky, very leafy, juicy and slightly sweet. When cut and 
cured in the bundles makes the finest quality of feed either ground or fed as hay, with very excellent

high winds. The stalks are leafy, juicy and very sweet and is a sorghum that we will recommend very

2,000 pounds of seed per acre. Much value as a bundle feed or for forage purposes. Maturity 115 days. 
WESTLAND MILO—This variety is resistant to pythium root rot, a soil borne disease that frequently 
reduces the yield of non-resistant varieties. Westland seed is usually brighter in color and the heads 
extend farther above the leaves than Wheatland. 
PLAINSMAN MILO—A new kaffir milo hybrid which is a high yielding variety. Stands dry climatic 
conditons very good. Plants stand erect, has few tillers and seed heads are erect, long and slightly com- 
pact. Seeds are rather soft of reddish color and shatter proof.

milo grains. The top 6 inches of stalk dries with the head reducing the amount of damp stalk particles 
mixed with the grain and lessens danger of spoilage in the bin. 
MARTIN MILO—Good combine crop and fine yielder. Resistant to Pythium disease. Grain less palatable 
than most milos and quite hard. Matures in about 100 days.
