RGHUM and COMBINE MILO 
Plant when the ground becomes thoroughly warm, say two weeks after 
corn planting, in rows 312 to 4 feet apart, and cultivate as you would 
corn. Will make a satisfactory crop on any well-drained soil. May be cut 
or pastured after the flowering state, but not earlier. Sorghum may be 
grown with cowpeas and soybeans, either in rows or broadcast. 
Plant about 8 to 10 Ibs. 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 heads ripen. Fertilize same as corn, 400 lbs. 
4-12-12 per acre. Top dress with nitrogen. For hay broadcast 30 Ibs. per 
acre with a bu. of cowpeas. 
WACONIA SORGHUM—for Molasses. 
Since we introduced this variety in the Southeast a few years ago no new 
sorghum 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 extract as 
much as 75% to 85%. 
Waconia Sorghum makes a tremendous yield of seed equal to corn per 
acre. In addition to its enormous syrup yield the seed can always be sold 
at a very attractive price, well above the value of corn. This variety has 
_ less tendency to granulate and sugar than any other variety. 
HONEY (Texas Seeded Ribbon Cane) 
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 con- 
sidered 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 certifica- 
tion 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. 
BLACK AMBER CANE—Grown from Certified Seed 
Makes large yield of. nutritious forage and can be fed green or cured. 
Planted early will yield 2 cuttings a season. Southern Grown. 
CERTIFIED MARTIN’S COMBINE MILO, 100 days. 
Has shown Special Merit for Grain Production in the Southern and South- 
eastern States. Exceptionally well adapted for harvesting with a com- 
bine harvester. Grows to an average height of 37 inches. Short, sturdy 
stalks give it strength to resist lodging. Heads vary in length from 6 to 9 
inches, and are of uniform height. The kernels resemble yellow Milo in 
size and color. Threshes readily without cracking. 
Produces from 25 to 60 bu. grain per acre. Seed normally stays in head 
all winter, producing excellent feed for birds. Adaptable to almost all 
types of soil. Plant in rows, 36 to 42 inches, using 5 to 8 Ibs. per acre: If 
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. 
CERTIFIED PLAINSMAN COMBINE MILO, 110 days. 
About 10 days later than Martin’s and yields about 10% better; an inch 
shorter, has a blockier, more rounded head, lighter color (yellowish 
brown), with less tannin. Better for feed, but has a softer head that is 
slightly less weevil resistant. A little slower about drying out and slightly 
harder to combine, as the leaves come up 1 leaf higher on stalk. Extremely 
popular in the Southern Coastal Plains because of higher yield and greater 
food value. More-digestible, palatable, and nutritious. 3 ft. tall. 
CERTIFIED EARLY COMBINE HEGARI, 105 days. 4 ff. tall. 
A new combine type, about two weeks earlier in maturing grain than 
regular Hegari. It is a very heavy grain yielder. Head structure, uniform- 
ity and leaf growth are the same as regular Hegari. Ideal to harvest with 
livestock or turkeys, but taller and harder to combine than Plainsman. 
CERTIFIED HEGARI, 120 days. 51 ft. tall. 
One of the most valuable of all grain sorghums. Makes a large, leafy 
growth and heavy grain yield. It’s semi-sweet stalk 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 1,800 lbs. of 
grain per acre are usual. Makes good silage planted with soybeans, corn 
or sweet sorghum. Cut just before seeds get hard. ;

S. C. Experiment Station: ‘Grain sor- 
ghums grow on almost any soil, stand 
drought better than corn, same food 
value, slightly higher protein, slightly 
lower fat, can feed whole to hogs, 
sheep and poultry, grind for cattle. 
Martin’s and Early Hegari are easily 
harvested with ordinary combines, if 
pure seed is planted for uniform 
height and maturity. Grain of Plains- 
man and Martin’s was sound in late 
January, standing in the field since 
ripeninig in October, good for winter 
grazing.” 
Sow Grain Sorghum 1 to 2 weeks 
after corn, using 12 to 15 lbs. per 
acre broadcast, or 7 to 8 lbs. in 2 to 
2/2 ft. rows, 4 to 6 inches in the 
row. Cultivate like corn. Harvest with 
a combine. Yield 85% as much as 
early planted corn, but outyield late 
planted corn. Stored grain may mold 
if not thoroughly dry. For continuous 
grazing or hogging off as it matures, 
plant some every 3 weeks from April 
to July. Use 500 Ibs. complete ferti- 
lizer before planting and top dress 
with 100 to 200 Ibs. nitrate of soda. 
Treat with Ceresan to control smut 
and seed rot, the principal disease of 
Plainsman Combine Milo, having 
less tannin, is more palatable and 
digestible than most varieties of 
sorghums. milo. 
PEANUTS 
Grown from pedigreed seed, heavily recleaned, hand picked, high germi- 
nation, free of pops. Not shelled, as machine shelling breaks the seed coat. 
Shell and pick by hand. 2 ounces Arasan treats 100 lbs. shelled nuts; in- 
creases stand 1/3. Use Wood's Inoculation 5. Plant in May or early June, 
12 inches deep, 1 inch if soil is moist. Plant closer on poorer soils. Use 
500 Ibs. 0-12-12 fertilizer per acre. On Jumbos use 300 lbs. gypsum. 
Cultivate shallow and often until nuts start. Dust 3 times with fine sul- 
phurs at 2-week intervals ending Aug. 14 to control flea hoppers. To har- 
vest loosen roots with a plow, pull vines up, let nuts dry, stack around a 
stake, nuts inward. Grow best on light sandy soils. Vines are superior to 
alfalfa in fat, nearly equal in protein and feed livestock all winter and 
spring. Nuts left in the ground fatten hogs and give pork a superior flavor. 
LARGE VIRGINIA JUMBO RUNNER, 155 days. 42% oil. 
Largest Nuts. Higher Yield, Grade and Value. Pure strain, larger, more 
uniform pod and kernel. Makes the highest per cent of extra large kernels 
for high grade salted nuts and candy. Pods are big and thick with very 
little dent around the center. Gets best prices, sold unhulled for roasting. 
It shells out 68% meat. Best adapted to light sandy soil, high in calcium. 
Plant in early May, 45 lbs. of shelled seed per acre (85 Ibs. unhulled), 10 to 
16 inches apart in 30 to 40-inch rows. 
IMPROVED VALENCIA BUNCH, 140 days. 
Big red nuts. Best for average Soils where other large peanuts yield many 
pops. A 30-lb. bushel shells out 22 Ibs. of nuts. Does well farther west 
and north than any other large varieties, or after early truck crops in the 
South. Plant 40 Ibs. shelled nuts per acre (60 Ibs. unshelled) 8 to 10 inches 
apart in 21/2 to 3 ft. rows. 
WHITE SPANISH BUNCH PEANUTS, 135 days. 50% oil. 
Earliest maturing. Best for crushing, heavy soils or where large varieties 
fail. 2 small white nuts entirely fill each pod. Shells out 75%. Superior 
sweetness and flavor. Easier to grow and harvest. Nuts cling firmly to 
roots and are easily cured. Plant 30 Ibs. shelled nuts per acre (45 Ibs. 
unshelled), 6 to 12 inches apart in 2 to 21/2 ft. rows. 
TENNESSEE RED BUNCH, 142 days. 
Long pods packed with 3 to 4 nuts with mild sweet flavor. Productive 
on heavy and most all soils. High oil content and shelling per cent. Brings 
a premium for roasting. Plant 40 Ibs. shelled nuts per acre (60 Ibs. un- 
shelled) 6 to 8 inches apart in 27 to 33 inch rows.
