GRAIN SORGHUMS FOR YOUR AREA 
TREAT SORGHUMS WITH CERESAN 
Non-Saccharine Grain Sorghums 
Used mainly for grain, although the leaves are used for forage. The sugar content of the stalk is low compared to Sac- 
charine Sorghums, 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 most 
sections of the State and is more desirable 
for forage or silage than either Kafir or Fe- 
terita. It is dwarf in habit of growth, pro- 
ducing large heads of white grains that do 
not shatter. Plant 8 to 10 lbs. per acre. Stands 
dry weather well. Requires 114 days to full 
maturity. Lb., 45c; 2 Ibs., 85c, postpaid. Ask 
for prices in larger quantities. 
Black Hull White Katfir 
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 excellent 
fodder, either green or dried, for cattle and 
horses. The heads make the finest kind of 
ee 2 3 a : 2 feed. Sow in rows three feet apart, 5 to 10 
A FIELD OF NICHOLSON’S SELECTED HEGARI pounds per acre. For fodder, sow one bushel 
per acre broadcast. Requires 120 days to ma- 
ture. Lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 85c, postpaid. Ask for 
prices in larger quantities. 
TREAT ALL CEREAL SEED WITH Plain an 
Milo Maize 
(Combine Type) 
CERESAN 
FOR GREATER YIELDS 
A cross of Milo Maize and Kafir is one of 
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., 45c; 2 lbs., 85c, postpaid. Please 
write for prices in larger quantities. 
Atlas Sorgo 
A cross between Kafir Corn and Sourless 
Sargo, 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 
Kafir except not as long. Plant 7 to 10 pounds 
per acre. Lb., 45c; 2 lbs., 85c, postpaid. Ask 
for prices in larger !ots.

SORGHUMS 
Darso 
Low growing, heavily foliaged with a large 
stalk, usually tinged with red. Its straight 
stalk is sweet and juicy, showing by chem- 
ical analysis to contain 12.76 per cent sac- 
charine in the juice, and analysis of the grain | 
shows that ihe composition is very similar to 
that of Kafir. It matures earlier than Kafir, 
which fact has much to do with its drouth re- 
sistance. Darso makes excellent silage, and 
can be used as a grain, forage or silagecrop. = =, Se se 
It has given splendid results in Texas. Re- 
quires 110 days to full maturity. Lb., 45c; 2 
lbs., 85c, postpaid. Ask for prices in larger 
quantities. 
Improved varieties of sorghums 
are adapted to growing in most 
sections of the South. 
Egyptian Wheat 
(Shallu) 
it is very productive, making an enormous 
yield of grain and fodder. Shallu or Egyptian 
Wheat should be sown in drills three feet 
apart, using from 5 to 10 pounds of seed per 
acre Requires 120 days to full maturity. Lb., 
45c; 2 ibs., 85c, postpaid. Ask for prices in 
large: <.antities. 
Feterita 
It is drouth resistant and is therefore espe- 
cially well suited as a crop under conditions 
of limited moisture—one of the best grain sor- 
ghums for silage, perhaps, for use in the hu- fe 
mid regions in the State. ie: Rin? ; a
