BIG YIELDS of Forage, Grain, Syrup 
WHITE KAFFIR CORN 
Kaffir Corn yields heavy crops. It adapts it- 
self to a wide variety of soils; a long dry spell 
may stop its growth but it starts again with 
the first rain. The grain as well as the plant 
makes a fine feed for stock, hogs, poultry and 
pigeons. With cow peas, sow broadcast one 
peck of Kaffir Corn to a bushel of peas; sown 
alone, 3 pecks to a bushel an acre broadcast; 
in drills 6 to 8 pounds an acre in 31/-foot 
rows. Plant from after the ground is thor- 
oughly warm till early in June. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. 35c; 5 lbs. $1.50. 
GROHOMA 
This splendid forage and grain crop has 
been found very satisfactory. Stock of all 
kinds like it, in fact they eat every particle 
of the stalk, leaves and head. Plant from 
April lst to July Ist in good soil. Make rows 
4 feet apart, drop seed 12 inches. Since it 
stools considerably, very little seed is re- 
quired. Plant 4 to 5 pounds to the acre. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. 35e; 5 Ibs. $1.50. 
SAGRAIN 
in feeding value has 90 per cent value 
corn; can be fed to hogs, chickens, catile 
and work stock. Plant as early in the lp ed 
as frost will allow. Will then be ready to 
harvest when the crops are laid by, usually 
along about August Ist. Splendid in combina- 
tion with Biloxi Soy Beans. Eight to ten 
pounds will seed an acre, planted in 3- to 31- 
foot rows. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. 35¢; 5 Ibs. $1.50. 
HEGARI 
Hegari, nicknamed “high gear’ by South- 
western farmers, is the unquestioned national 
leader of the grain sorghums. This white 
grain sorghum is grown in a wide range of 
sorghum producing areas. It is a heavy grain 
producer and makes fine ensilage, bundle 
feed and pasture. 
Hegari stalks contain considerable sucrose, 
which is one of the reasons why livestock 
relish its stover. Grows say 5 feet high; ma- 
tures in 95 to 110 days. Close spacing of 
2 to 4 inches apart in the row is recommended 
for forage. Sow 8 to 10 lbs. per acre. Also 
sown broadcast for hay at the rate of 40 to 
50 lbs. per acre. Stands dry weather well. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. 35c; 5 Ibs. $1.50. 
EARLY (COMBINE) HEGARI 
This new strain is ready for harvest two 
weeks before regular Hegari—smaller leaves, 
smaller stalks, adapted to combining. Recom- 
mended for late planting—it makes a good 
grain crop. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. 35c; 5 lbs. $1.50. 
MILO MAIZE 
COMBINE MILO MAIZE. In the West where 
Milo Maize has been grown for years one 
of the Experiment Stations developed a low 
growing variety that can be combined, fill- 
ing a long felt need. This grows only 2 to 
3 feet tall, very little stalk to bother with, 
is a tremendous yielder of grain, which has 
feeding value about 90% of corn, very fat- 
tening, much easier to raise than corn. 
Some of our planter friends planted several 
hundred acres of it last spring (1947) and 
they are crazy about it. Plant when ground 
is warm, 3 foot rows, 5 to 6 pounds per 
acre, cultivate like corn. Sow June 10th to 
25th so nights will be longer than days 
when grain is maturng on stalk. This 
means biggest grain yields. Cover 14 
inches, after plant is knee high, cultivate a 
few times and as shallow as possible. Mar- 
tin and Plainsman are two of the most popu- 
lar strains. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. 35c; 5 Ibs. $1.50. 
WHITE KAFFIR CORN 
SILAGE CANE 
JAPANESE RIBBON CANE. (Often called Texas 
Seeded Ribbon Cane.) A most valuable en- 
silage crop, the stalks growing 12 to 15 feet 
tall, very juicy, and nutritious, makes a 
tremendous tonnage. We do not offer Jap- 
anese Ribbon Cane for syrup since cane 
cross pollenizes so readily with non-syrup 
canes that it may produce no syrup, or in- 
ferior grade. We recommend for silage only. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $2.00.

EARLY AMBER CANE 
FODDER CANE 
EARLY AMBER CANE. One of the earliest 
sorghums and furnishes a large yield of 
most nutritious forage which may be fed 
either green or cured. If grown with cow 
peas or soy beans the quality of the hay is 
improved and a more balanced ration may 
be had. The proportions recommended are 
15 pounds Early Amber Cane, one-half 
bushel of soy beans and one bushel of cow 
peas to the acre broadcast. Grows 10 to 
12 feet high. Sow broadcast 1 to 1 
bushels to the acre; 8 to 10 pounds plants 
an acre in 3l4- to 4-foot rows. 
Postpaid, 1 Ib. 35c; 5 lbs. $1.50. 
EARLY ORANGE CANE. About 10 days later 
than Early Amber Cane, but makes a taller 
and more leafy growth. It is recommended 
for fodder, of which it yields immense crops, 
frequently two cuttings a season, and stool- 
ing out thicker after cutting. It may be 
grown with soy beans and cow peas as 
recommended for Early Amber Cane and 
the quantity to plant an acre is the same. 
Sow 1 to 14 bushels broadcast or 8 to 10 
pounds in 3l4- to 4-foot rows to an acre. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. 35c; 5 Ibs. $1.50. 
RED TOP or SUMAC. 
Grown extensively in 
Middle Tennessee. 
Succeeds well in that 
section. Very sweet and one of the best for 
hay. Sow 1 to 14% bushels broadcast or 8 
to 10 pounds in 3l4- to 4foot rows to an 
acre. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. 35c; 5 Ibs. $1.50. 
SYRUP CANE 
SAPLING SYRUP CANE (Formerly Arkansas 
Honey Drip). This is the new name for an 
old tried and true variety of Syrup Cane. 
New name suggested by U. S. Dept. of 
Agriculture under their policy of clarifying 
types of syrup varieties to avoid confusion. 
Many state institutions are growing this 
cane year after year to produce their own 
syrup for their own use. Sapling is a 
medium early maturing variety of medium 
height, so you can be through before wet 
bad weather begins, an important item on 
a farm. It is very productive, producing 
150 to 200 gallons of syrup per acre, of 
excellent quality—good, clear color, easy 
flowing syrup of splendid flavor; good for 
what ails you. While Sapling does not 
grow as tall as Ribbon Cane, its stalk is 
so full of juice that it will make up in 
quality and food value what it might lack 
in tonnage when used for silage purposes. 
Plant as early in May as possible. Eight 
to 10 pounds of seed will drill one acre. 
Cultivate like cotton, leaving plants about 
10 to 12 inches apart in the row. 
Postpaid, 1 lb. 50c; 5 Ibs. $2.00.
