TLAS SORGO 
Early Drouth Resistant; Very Palatable and Nutritious 
This is one of the most sensational Forage Crops ever developed. It is an enormous pro- 
ducer. Yielded up to 18.7 tons per acre, under conditions where corn yielded only half as 
much. In dry seasons it has out produced corn.in grain yields 3 to 1. Nebraska and other 
States report it the heaviest forage producer. From Nebraska, through Iowa and on Hast, 
down South to the Gulf it is a wonderful fodder crop. The juice of Atlas Sorgo is very ¥ 
sweet. That makes it highly palatable and it is a very nutritious feed. Cattle especially will 
leave most any kind of feed to get at Atlas Sorgo, They thrive on it. In extreme drouth years 
we have seen farmers bring their stock through the winter with nothing but Atlas Sorgo 
fed right out of the shock, It brought them through in excellent condition, fat and sleek in 
the spring, as though they had been fully corn fed. This crop also makes wonderful ensilage. 
Highly Drouth Resistant 
The average crop like corn for example, if it is severely injured by drouth will stop 
growing. Atlas Sorgo on the other hand will start up again. In sections where drouth com- 
pletely dried up corn, Atlas Sorgo remained green. The crop also seems highly resistant 
against grasshopper damage. Where one corn field was almost completely wiped out by grass- 
hoppers, Atlas Sorgo was practically untouched. Grows 10 to 12 ft. tall. It has good strong 
stocks. It is very resistant against lodging. The seeds of Atlas Sorgo are white and very pal- 
atable. Plant 8-12 lbs. per acre at corn planting time or after. Rows 40 inches apart. Cut a lit« 
tle before frost. Shock to cure.

NORKAN 222% Early Atlas 
This crop very closely resembles Atlas Sorgo in the way it grows and in the 
type of grain it produces. It is, however, quite a bit earlier in maturity (about 
10 days to 2 weeks earlier). That means, of course, it can be successfully. grown 
much farther north than Atlas. In areas south of Central Iowa the Atlas would 
produce more tonnage as it makes a taller growth. However, areas having shorter 
seasons or for planting later in the season this Norkan is a good selection. While 
it will not make as tall a growth, the grain yields generally equals Atlas. 
This crop is a cross of Atlas Sorgo with Early Sumac Cane. It is sweet stalked Be sure to drop
