Sudan Grass—A fast growing annual which produces an abundance of summer pasture 
or hay. Will make ensilage. Requires irrigation in the Pecos Valley. The rainfall of 
Eastern New Mexico and Western Texas is sufficient for this crop during most seasons. 
Plant after danger of frost, using 5-12 lbs. in rows or 20-50 Ibs. broadcast per acre. 
Sweet Sudan—Developed from Loeti Red Sorghum and Common Sudan. Sweet Sudan 
has broader leaves, larger stems, taller growth, stools more and is much sweeter than 
Common Sudan. 
Roswell Mixture—This mixture, for permanent, irrigated pasture in the Pecos Valley 
has become our choice after several years of observation. It has been outstanding and 
created much enthusiasm during the past seven years. Requires good soil and frequent 
irrigations. Fall planting preferred with 16 lbs. seed per acre. 
MILLETS 
Big German—The small stems and narrow leaves make quick summer hay or pasture. 
Long tight heads produce an abundance of grain. Sow broadcast for hay using 20-25 
lbs., usually produces 4-5 tons per acre in about 60 days. Drill in rows for seed using 
5-10 lbs., will produce 2000-3000 lbs. threshed grain per acre in about 70 days. Re- 
quires warm weather, will produce satisfactory crop on reasonably good soil. 
Proso or Hog Millet—The quickest making catch crop. Will mature in 45 to 50 days. 
Low growing spangled heads. Grain is larger than Big German. Excellent feed for 
poultry and hogs. Has made two crops of grain in one season when planted by June 1st. 
OATS 
Texas Red Rust Proof—For years this has been a standard in the Pecos Valley where it 
is still a good producer. Not recommended for planting at altitudes above 5500 feet. 
New Nortex—A high yielder of excellent grain. Rust resistant and shatter proof. 
Winter hardy. Developed from Texas Red, well adapted to the Pecos Valley. 
PEAS 
Blackeyed—Classed as Cowpeas but excellent for table use as a green snap or dry 
shelled. Pods will become 7 inches long and reach snap stage in about 45 days or ma- 
ture dry peas in 60 days. The tall, strong, prolific plants make good forage crop and 
they are soil builders. We will offer local grown and California grown seed. 
Brown (Sugar) Crowder—Grown and used very much the same as Blackeyed Peas, 
stronger flavored. Plants are about 28 inches high. Pods are 7 inches long, crowded 
with 10-12 odd shaped peas. 
Cream Crowder—Quite similar to Brown Crowder in use and growth. Seeds are 
medium smooth, cream color and with buff eye. 
Purplehull—A good flavored pea for green shelled and canning. Pods are purple, seeds 
are smooth, cream-white with brown to buff eye. 
POP CORN 
Giant Yellow Mushroom—Yields well in the Southwest and has been our most popular 
variety for a number of years. When popped, it has a distinct flavor, no husks or hard 
centers and is cream colored. Very large yellow kernels. 
RYE 
Balboa—Stools and grows well in cold weather to form a heavy turf which makes it one 
of the best for fall and winter pasture. This crop can be produced on poor soil with 
little moisture and is often turned under for soil building. Plant 60 to 90 lbs. per acre. 
SORGHUM GRAINS 
Atlas Sorgo—Developed in Kansas by crossing Blackhull Kaffir and Sourless Sorgo. 
An excellent ensilage crop, and generally considered to be that only. Will make mo- 
lasses, also, it will make good hay when planted very thick. Tall, stout stalks will re- 
sist lodging and become ten feet high if given room, very sweet and leafy. The grain 
has a low feed value.
