SORGHUM and SUGAR CANE 
Plant when the ground becomes thoroughly warm, say two weeks after corn planting, in rows 3!/2 to 4 feet apart, and 
cultivate as you would corn. Will make a satisfactory crop on any well-drained soil that will produce a good crop 
of corn or wheat. 
May be cut or pastured after the flowering stage is passed, but not earlier. 
Sorghum may be 
grown with cowpeas and soy beans, either in rows or broadcast. 
Plant about 8 to 10 pounds per acre for forage. When growing sorghum for syrup, plant 6 to 8 pounds per acre; 
thin out to stand 4 to 6 inches apart, and cut just before the heads ripen. 
Bushel weighs 50 Ibs. 
to 600 pounds 2-12-4 per acre. 
WACONIA SORGHUM 
For Molasses (Similar to Sugar Drip) 
Since we introduced this variety in the Southeast 
a few years ago there has been no new sorghum 
that has been brought out that can compare with 
it in yield of syrup. It makes a large juicy, suc- 
culent growth. It will yield about 65% of the 
weight of the cane in juice when extracted by a 
good farm mill, and stronger mills should ex- 
tract as much as 75% to 85%. ° 
One reason for the great popularity of Wa- 
conia Sorghum is due to its tremendous yield 
of seed which is equal to corn per acre, and 
in addition to its enormous syrup yield the seed 
of this genuine strain can always be sold at a 
very attractive price well above the value of 
corn. Waconia Sorghum also has less ten- 
dency to granulate and sugar than any other 
variety, which is a most important factor when 
you offer syrup for sale. 
Hegari with Corn for Silage 
Fertilizer requirements same as corn, 400 
HONEY (Texas Seeded Ribbon Cane) Ceriified 
One of the most popular varieties in the Southern States. 
It is late in maturity (124 days), with very tall thick stalks, 
large open brushy heads and bright red chaff that remains 
on the seed after threshing. It is considered the tallest and 
heaviest producing sorghum for both forage and syrup. 
Particularly adapted to the Coastal and Southern states, 
requiring a longer growing season than Sugar Drip and 
most other sorghums. 
Our supply of seed this year has passed all requirements 
of certification and is the finest quality we have handled in 
years. It is the same strain that has given our customers 
such excellent results in past years. 
CERTIFIED MARTIN’S COMBINE MILO 
This certified strain of the Grain Sorghum family has shown 
Special Merit for Grain production in the Southern and 
Southeastern States. 
Has proven exceptionally well adapted for harvesting with 
a combine harvester. Grows to an average height of 31 
inches, but has a range of from 24 to 39 inches, depending 
on soil and seasonal condition. The stalks are short and 
sturdy, giving it strength to resist lodging to a greater 
degree than any other variety of commercial importance. 
Heads vary in length from 6 to 9 inches, depending upon 
the season, and heads are of uniform height. The kernels 
resemble yellow Milo in size and color. Threshes readily 
without cracking. 
Requires 100 to 125 days to mature according to season 
and produces from 25 to 60 bushels grain per acre. Seed 
normally stays in head all Winter producing excellent feed 
for birds. Adaptable to almost all types of soil. The crop 
of grain is easier to handle than corn. 
Plant in rows 36 to 42 inches, using 5 to 8 lbs. per acre. 
If planted in drill rows 18 to 20 inches apart, use 15 to 20 
Ibs. per acre. Do not plant closer than 18 inches by any 
method for grain production. Planting in rows and culti- 
vated will give maximum yields. 
CERTIFIED EARLY COMBINE HEGARI 
Early Hegari, a new combine type, is about two weeks 
earlier in maturing grain than regular Hegari. It is a very 
heavy grain yielder for an early kind. Head structure, 
uniformity and leaf growth are the same as regular Hegari. 
Early Hegari grows to a height of about four and a half feet 
under normal conditions. It is very popular in all areas 
where it has been introduced and is gaining rapidly in 
popularity. Early Combine Hegari is principally recom- 
mended as a grain producer. The regular Hegari described 
on the following page for forage, also a heavy grain yielder. 
CERTIFIED HEGARI 
One of the most valuable of all grain sorghums. Makes a 
large, leafy growth and is a heavy grain yielder. It has a 
semi-sweet stalk that is eaten readily by animals either in 
pasturing off the fields after removal of grain heads or as 
harvested forage. Average yields of 12 tons silage or 1800 
lbs. of grain per acre are usual. Some yields have run as 
high as 4,000 pounds on irrigated land, and of course a 
larger growth of silage. It is generally considered that 
Hegari silage is about 15% more valuable than corn silage. 
For combine grain crop, use Certified Early Hegari. 
Drill 5 pounds per acre in rows about 12 inches apart, 
and cultivate. Matures in 110 to 120 days, and should be 
planted the same as corn.
