CHER SORGHUM 
Sweet and Safe 
A South Dakota Experiment Station introduction that saves stockmen 
thousands of dollars by preventing losses from acid poisoning and gives us 
a most dependable drought-resistant safe forage. RANCHER SORGHUM is 
a hybrid developed by crossing and recrossing Low Acid selections from Da- 
kota Black Amber Cane. 
This plant with its sweet, leafy stalk has produced six and one-half tons of 
forage and 2,260 pounds of grain per acre. 
50 Ibs. $9.50; 100 Ibs. $18.50 
39-30-S LOW-ACID CANE 
Another South Dakota State College introduction, bred up from Black Amber, but with 
only one-fourth the acid of that and other commercial varieties. Very early in maturity 
and an excellent yielder. Experiment Stations show that this sorghum produces more 
forage per acre in dry years. 
50 Ibs. $9.00; 100 Ibs. $17.00 
WACONIA CANE 
A selection from Rox Orange—and very popular in the midwest where it is used both 
for forage and syrup. Under favorable conditions it will grow to a height of 8 to 9 feet. 
Good yielder. 
50 Ibs. $8.00; 100 Ibs. $15.00 
NORGHUM 
Norghum is an earlier maturing combine grain sorghum developed by Clifford Franzke 
of the South Dakota Experiment Sation for the needs of the western and southwestern 
farms. It is two weeks earlier maturing. Average yield 48 bushels per acre. 
Norghum grows to a height of 36 to 46 inches. The seed cluster is long and open, 
which allows for drying of the seed, and is better than other compact types which often 
mold. The seed germinates rapidly and at low temperatures. 
- Norghum is a row crop to be cultivated like corn or cane and other milo varieties. 
FEED VALUE nearly EQUAL to CORN. Plant 4 to 6 pounds per acre. 
50 Ibs. $5.50; 100 ibs. $10.00
