PLANT NICHOLSON’S QUALITY GRAIN SORGHUMS 
TREAT SORGHUMS WITH CERESAN 
Non-Saccharine Grain Sorghums 
Used mainiy for grain, although the leaves are used for forage. The sugar content of the staik is low compared to Saccharine Soi- 
ghums, but used to a good advantage for ensilage purposes. They have been known to produce where the rainfall was very light, and 
corn crops proved complete failures. 
Selected Hegari 
State Certified 
It makes an enormous yield of grain in mos‘ 
sections of the State and is more desirable for 
forage or silage than either Kafir or Feterita 
It is dwarf in habit of growth, producing large 
heads of white grains that do not shatter. Plan: 
8 to 10 lbs. per acre. Stands dry weather wel} 
Requires 114 days to full maturity. Lb., 40c; 2 
lbs., 75c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $1.65. 
Ask for prices in larger quantities. 
Black Hull White Katir 
It grows from 4 to 5 feet high, making 
straight, upright growth, has a strong stem 
with enormous, wide leaves. The stalks keep 
green and are brittle, making an excelleni 
fodder, either green or dried, for cattle and 
horses. The heads make the finest kind of feed. 
Sow in rows three feet apart, 5 to 10 pounds 
per acre. For fodder, sow one bushel per acre, 
broadcast. Requires 120 days to mature. Lb.., 
40c; 2 lbs., 75c, postpaid. Net prepaid, 20 lbs., 
$1.65. Ask for prices on larger quantities.

Plainsman 
CERESAN | 2 : He. Vea’ Milo Maize 
FOR GREATER wet - : (Combine Type) 
A cross of Milo Maize and Kafir that is one oi 
the better of the many new sorghums. The plant 
seems to withstand drought even better than 
other sorts. The stalk grows very erect, seed 
heads are somewhat short and compact, very 
slow to shatter. The heads are reddish in color 
It of course is the newer combine type. Lb., 40c; 
2 Ibs., 75¢, postpaid. Please write for prices in 
larger quantities. 
Atlas Sorgo 
A cross between Kafir Corn and Sourless 
Sorgo, resembles Kafir except it has a more 
Saccharine content. Has proved valuable in 
Western Kansas for its ability to withstand dry 
weather. Heads are erect and resemble Katfir 
except not as long. Plant 7 to 10 pounds per 
acre. Lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c, posipaid. Ask for 
prices in larger lots. 
‘Darso 
Low growing, heavily foliaged with a large 
stalk, usually tinged with red. Its straight stalk 
is sweet and juicy, showing by chemical anal- 
ysis to contain 12.76 per cent saccharine in the 
juice, and analysis of the grain shows that the 
composition is very similar to that of Katfir. It 
matures earlier than Kafir, which fact has 
much to do with its drouth resistance. Darso 
makes excellent silage, and can be used as a 
grain, forage or silage crop. It has given splen- 
did results in Texas. Requires 110 days to full 
maturity. Lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c, postpaid. Ask for 
prices in larger quantities.

DARSO 
Egyptian Wheat 
(Shallu) 
It is very productive, making an enormous 
yield of arain and fodder. Shallu or Eqyptian 
Wheat should be sown in drills three feet 
apart, using from 5 to 10 pounds of seed ver 
acre. Requires 120 days to full maturitv. Lb., 
40c; 2 lbs., 75c, postpaid. Ask for prices in 
larger quantities. 
Feterita 
It is drouth resistant and is therefore espe- 
cially well suited as a crop under conditions of 
limited moisture—one of the best ordain sor- 
ghums for silage, perhaps, for use in the humid 
regions in the State. 
Requires 105 days to full maturity. Lb., 40c; ann Pesan elie Me Pia Fe :
