OTHER MONEY MAKING CROPS FOR GRAIN, HAY AND PASTURE 
CANE 
“MAKES TREMENDOUS YIELDS 
This forage Cane is very rich in sugar and fat. 
It is a very palatable crop. Its,yields are enormous 
as it produces 10 to 15 tons of excellent green feed 
on rich land. It also is a remarkable drought re- 
sister. If you want it for hay make the seeding 
at a heavier rate of 75 to 100 pounds to the acre. 
For a fodder crop you can drill it in rows as far 
apart as corn rows, using around 10 pounds to the 
acre, or double up the rows and use 20. For hay 
the heavier your rate of seeding, the finer the 
growth. Our seed is all Gro-Coated Brand. 
Early Amber type, the kind most generally grown, 
a great value because of its splendid growing 
power. Item 216 on Price List. 
Early Orange type, heavier stalks, more abundant 
leaves, heads more compact. Heavier yielder but 
a little coarser. Cane seed is more plentiful this 
year. See Item No. 215 on Price List. 
WACONIA CANE 
This is a variety that is used for sorghum pur- 
poses. We try to obtain this seed with a high de- 
gree of varietal purity. Since impurities may creep 
in and errors can be made, we do not offer this 
specifically as a cane for molasses purposes, but rather as a forage 
eane. Many customers tell us they have secured fine quality 
sorghum from it, but we do not assume any liability for a sorghum

HEGARI 
This is a sweet sorghum, somewhat after 
the order of the Atlas Sorgo and the Norkan, 
described on the previous page. It does not grow 
as tall. The stalks are very sturdy. The crop is 
very nutritious, whether used as a fodder, for en- 
silage, grain or even as pasture. Hegari yielded 
up to 5000 pounds of grain per acre and up to 8 
tons of ensilage. Livestock, especially cattle, are 
very fond of it because of its sweet taste. It com- 
bines the grain production of Kaffir and Milo with 
the high forage value of Cane. It matures earlier 
than Atlas. The growth is at least three foot 
shorter. Item 217 on Price List for Gro-Coated

One of the Newest and Earliest Grain Sorghums 
This is a combine variety that originated in South Dakota. You know 
Weather Conditions" it has to be early. After last year’s experience, that is what many 
will be looking for. A crop that is more cer- 
ENORMOUS YIELDING HIGH PROTEIN PASTURE tain ‘to mature even if it is necessary to plant 
late. 
This is a new variety. It wasn’t released until 
1949. As reported to us, over 50 types of sor- 
ghums were crossed to develop this Norghum. 
It is a selection from crosses of Dwarf Freed 
Yellow Kaffir and Dwarf Feterita. Under South 
A Crop that Will Help You Reduce Pork Production Cost 
This is a very rapid growing crop. It is one of the greatest of quick growing 
forage and pasture crops for the cornbelt. It can be pastured within 6 to 8 weeks 
after seeding. You can sow it any time from early spring until next summer. Rape 
is equal to Alfalfa in feeding value for hogs and sheep, and it also is good for calves, 
eattle and horses. With Rape pasture you can cut down the amount of grain that is 
required, and you will get your hogs ready for market quicker. In tests at the Iowa 
Experiment Station Rape pasture cut down more on grain consumption and tankage 
than when they were fed on Alfalfa and it carried moze head per acre. 
Rape, under favorable conditions, will yield 40 tons or 80,000 Ibs. of green matter 
per acre. On a dry basis it analyzes high as 37% protein. It is also high in calcium 
and phosphorus. It is superior to Alfalfa and Clover as a corn balancer. Provides 
pasture from early spring until the ground freezes in the fall. 
Rape.is a crop that grows and makes a heavy leafy growth. The leaves look some- 
what like cabbage leaves, but it does not form heads. One of the finest things about 
it is that it grows so fast. If you are looking for a quick pasture, especially for hogs 
and sheep, you will find it hard to excel Dwarf Essex Rape. 
Be sure to grow some. Sow it alone in the spring or with Oats and pasture when 
the Oats are removed. Some sow about the same time they sow Oats, others broad- 
east when the Oats are up a bit, and let the rains cover it. 
Only requires about 5 or 6 Ibs. of the seed per acre. It grows on many soils. It does 
best on fertile, well drained loams. It is not so well adapted to sandy or stiff clay 
soil. Our seed is guaranteed genuine Dwarf Essex Rape. It’s Gro-Coated Brand.

Always Gets a Stand and Saves Money 
Gentlemen: North Tazewell, Va. 
T-have been buying your seed for years and I always 
save money. Your seeds are just what you say they are 
and I have never failed to get a stand. I always speak 
a good word for Berry’s. 
Yours respectfully, 
Joe N. Hunt. 
Dakota and Nebraska conditions 
plants grew 36 to 46 inches high 
with an average of 40 inches. It 
has an open type seed head that 
sticks up high above the leaves. 
This head dries out well and is 
ideal for combining. Stalks seem 
sturdy and resistant to lodging. 
Norghum is rapidly becoming 
very popular because of its heavy 
yield and high feeding value. In 
a 3 year test at 3 locations in 
South Dakota the average yield 
for Norghum was 47.7 bu. per 
acre; for Sooner Milo, 26.2. That’s 
almost double. In feeding trials 
it took 513 pounds of Norghum to 
put a 100 pounds of gain on lambs 
as compared to 495 pounds of 
Corn. On hogs 357.5 lbs. of Nor- 
ghum equaled 354.3 lbs. of Corn. 
So you see they are almost the 
same in feed value. Poultry rais- 
ers say chickens pick Norghum 
out of any other grain feed. 
Drill 8 to 10 pounds per acre a 
little after Corn planting time-in

Sows More Acres Because of High Quality 
Dear Sir: Freeport, Il.
