Sweet Sudan 
A greatly improved Sudan Grass from a hybridi- 
zation of Leota Red Sorghum or Common Sudan. 
It has great palatability, livestock eating it to the 
ground before touching common Sudan or other 
forage sorghums. Sweet Sudan has broader leaves, 
larger stems and makes taller growth, stooling 
heavier than common Sudan. It is a truly great 
improvement over common Sudan and in our 
opinion will completely replace common Sudan. 
We recommend that every farmer put in at least 
a few rows to prove to himself the many ad- 
vantages for both hay and grazing over common 
Sudan.

Dry Land Grain and 
Forage Seeds 
Sweet Sorghums 
CULTURE 
For forage crops, sow 50 to 75 pounds per acre; 
for grain, 5 to 6 pounds, in rows and cultivate 
the same as corn. Forage is very palatable to 
stock. 
BLACK AMBER CANE 
Is the best known and is the favorite on account 
of its earliness and resistance to drought. 
MIXED CANE 
This is valuable as a forage crop. Do not plant 
for a seed crop. 
ORANGE CANE 
A heavy yielding variety grown for forage and 
silage. It is rather late in maturing seed as it 
takes from 100 to 110 days. 
RED TOP OR SUMAC CANE 
Very desirable for forage as the stalks are 
sweet and very leafy. The seed shells out clean 
like the grain sorghum and is better for feed 
than other varieties of Cane. 
COES SORGO 
Is a Kafir-headed sorgo with a long, compact 
head and fine stem, high in sugar contents. Suck- 
ers profusely making large quantities of fine leafy 
ae The grain is equal to feeding value of 
afir. 
Grain Sorghums 
CULTURE 
For forage crops, sow 50 to 75 pounds per acre; 
for grain, 5 to 6 pounds in rows and cultivate 
the same as Corn. Forage is not quite as palatable 
for stock as the Sweet Sorghums. 
WHITE KAFIR (Dwarf Black Hull) 
Usually grows 5 to 6 feet tall in the dry land 
areas. Heads are heavy and compact, 10 to 14 
inches long with black hulls and white seeds. 
The grain makes good feed for poultry and 
cattle. 
HEGARI 
This is one of the earliest maturing of the grain 
sorghums. It is very similar to Kafir. The grain 
is nearly equal to corn in feeding value. The 
stalks are leafy and make excellent fodder. 
MILO (Sooner or Sixty Day) 
A non-saccharine sorghum of high feeding value. 
This is the plant that is being so largely raised 
for its grain in the dry plains of eastern Colorado 
and western Kansas. The seed is larger than the 
seed of Kafir and not as hard and equal to corn 
in feeding value for stock and poultry. 
RED KAFIR 
Stalk is slender with many leaves producing as 
much fodder as other kafirs. Seed head cylindri- 
cal, 10 to 14 inches long. 
MARTIN’S COMBINE MILO 
An extremely short, stocky straight shanked 
Milo. Has erect heads and seeds—thresh free 
from the glumes. The seeds are yellow and of 
large size. Strictly a combine type grain sor- 
ghum.

Millet 
Millet is a wonderful forage and hay crop. It 
affords a quick, luxuriant growth of hay of good 
feeding value and requires no cultivation. Millet 
may be fed green or cured. The value of Millet for 
late planting and emergency crops after others 
fail should not be overlooked. They can be planted 
late in July and still make considerable forage. 
Sow about 20 pounds to the acre. 
WHITE WONDER 
A variety which has taken the place of common 
millet and has qualities superior to other var- 
ieties. It is early, the heads are very large and 
long, and the foliage is heavy yet easily cured. 
MANITOBA OR HOG 
A valuable peculiarity of Hog Millet is that 
seed ripens while the hay is yet green, which, if 
cured at the proper time can be threshed for 
seed, while the hay makes excellent fodder after 
being threshed. 
SIBERIAN OR RED RUSSIAN 
Earlier, more hardy, rustproof, and less liable 
to damage by insects, an extremely heavy crop- 
per; stalks tall, and of finer quality than any 
other sort. Best variety for hay. 
GERMAN OR GOLDEN 
This is one of the best forage plants grown in 
this country. Under ordinary conditions will 
produce from 4 to 5 tons of hay per acre, and 
from 50 to 75 bushels of seed. When sown early 
it leaves the ground in splendid condition for 
wheat.

Field or Stock Peas 
(ASK FOR PRICES) 
Field Peas are an important class of Legumes 
and should be more generally planted. Valuable 
for hay crop or fertilizer. Field Peas are usually 
grown with Oats for hay, a combination equal 
in feeding value to clover hay. They contain 
more digestible crude protein and fat than AlI- 
falfa and Corn. When grown with oats, they are 
threshed together, and easily separated with a 
fanning after threshing. Drill the Peas in four 
inches deep as early as the ground can be 
worked at the rate of 90 to 100 pounds per acre. 
Then, 2 or 3 weeks later, sow the oats, drilling 
it in the other way, 50 pounds per acre, If the 
oats are sown with the peas, they grow too 
rapidly and check or smother the growth of the 
peas. 
COLORADO STOCK PEAS (White) 
Are extensively grown in the mountain districts, 
are very hardy and if mixed with oats or other 
grains, make very nutritious hay. If permitted 
to mature, make excellent feed for fattening 
sheep or hogs. 
SOUTHERN BLACK-EYE PEAS 
The dry peas are excellent for table, and find 
ready sale during the winter. They are very 
hardy and prolific. Vines make excellent forage 
or hay. This pea has proven a great success in 
the dry land or non-irrigated districts of the 
west. Its roots seem to penetrate deeper and 
stand drought and heat better. Especially adapted 
to hot, dry nonirrigated districts. 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
An excellent forage crop for Sheep and Hogs, 
belongs to the cabbage family. It produces a mass 
of broad, smooth leaves which are greatly relish- 
ed by Sheep and Hogs. It can be pastured off and 
when stock is removed, if not eaten too close, 
it will grow up again and give a second crop. 
It does best on rather moist land, but will do 
well in any good soil. The seed is usually sown 
broadcast, using about 5 pounds per acre. Sow 
from the first to the middle of August. If sown 
broadcast on corn ground after the last cultiva- 
tion Z makes good pasture after the corn is re- 
moved.
