SORGHUM GRAINS (Continued) 
Cane, Honey Drip—The most popular for syrup and it will make a heavy yield of 
high grade ensilage. The heavy, juicy, sweet leafy stalks are free stooling and will 
reach a height of 12 ft. Matures in 135 days, plant 5-10 lbs. seed per acre in 3 ft. rows. 
Caprock Milo—The late maturing selection from the cross of double dwarf kaffir and 
dwarf milo. Heavy yielder, grows 30-40 inches tall and matures in about 110 days. The 
grain has high feed value, preferred by many feeders. The plants are resistant to 
Pythium rot and stand erect. Plantings of 8 lbs. per acre in 36 inch rows have pro- 
duced 5000 lbs. of grain. Use Certified seed to avoid rogues that interfere with 
combining. 
Darso or Bird-Proof Maize—Will grow 3-5 feet tall to produce good grain and forage. 
Heads are resistant to shattering and bird damage. Stalks are juicy and slightly 
sweet, they make good cured bundles. Matures in 115 days. 
Hegari, New Mexico—Our best all-purpose feed crop. The grain rates high among 
feeds and sells readily. The sweet stalks will stool and make our best bundle feed, 
also used for green or dry ensilage. The grain is often threshed and the stalks pas- 
tured. One of the most drouth resisting crops. Matures in 114 days. Plant 8 lbs. 
per acre in three foot rows any time after danger of frost but late planting (about 
July 1st) will grow and produce better. Hegari is one of the most profitable crops 
that can follow barley or oats in the double cropping program. 
Hegari, Arizona Certified—The same as the above with some contention that it ma- 
tures sooner on a slightly shorter stalk. Very uniform in grain and stalk. 
Early Hegari—Identical with Hegari, except: it matures about 15 days earlier, has 
fewer leaves and produces much less grain. Planted only when hegari does not have 
time to mature and grain is desired. 
Plainsman Milo—The early maturing sister of Caprock Milo. Grows about 30 inches 
tall and matures in about 105 days. The high feed value, combined with the early 
maturity has made Plainsman our most popular combine sorghum grain; it affords 
double cropping on irrigated lands and late planting as a dry-land crop. Erect plants 
are also resistant to Pythium rot. Plant the same as Caprock, yields will be slightly 
less. Plant Certified seed to produce more and avoid the rogues, the cost will be 
only 15 to 20c more per acre. 
WHEAT 
Marquis—A hard, red, beardless, spring wheat which has short, stiff straw. Produc- 
tive on Western irrigated soils, about ten days earlier than most varieties. 
Thatcher—A new, rust resistant, hard, red, beardless spring wheat. 
Wichita—A new bearded, red, winter wheat. Its high yielding ability has placed it 
among leaders. 
RAT & MOUSE POISONS 
Rat Scent—A poison grain that is scented to attract rats, mice, gophers, squirrels and 
prairie dogs. They cannot eat Rat Scent and live. 7 oz. box 35c; 12 oz. box 50c. 
Cowley’s Rat and Mouse Poison—Arsenic in liquid. Rats and mice accept it readily 
as a drink. Effective and simple to use. 6 oz. bottle 50c. 
Dr. Legears 3 Way Rat Killer—Contains 18.4% Antu that kills the Brown-Norway 
(common farm) rat. Used as a tracking poison, a bait poison and a water poison.
