This is now much grown as a FODDER CROP and found very profitable as such as well as for syrup and sugar making. The name Early Amber is given it because of its earliness and the pure amber color of the syrup obtained from it. When planted between the 1st and ioth of May, the seed al- most invariably ripens, yielding 20 to 25 bushels of seed and 140 to T75 gallons of syrup to the acre. It is by far the best variety for sugar and unlike most of the sorghums it is remarkably successful in the extreme North latitudes. 5c; lb., 15c, postpaid; 100 lbs., $, not prepaid, bags included. KANSAS Habits in all respects similar to the preceding, being constituted to endure Southern summer heat; it ranks South of Illinois as the Early Amber does at the North. It yields more sap and makes more syrup than any other kind. Pkt., 5c; lb., 15c, postpaid; 100 lbs., $, not prepaid, bags included. WHITE MILLO MAIZE. Valuable for a forage plant and for its grain, hav- ing great capacity to withstand drought. Can be cut at any stage or when heading for fodder.
