SORGHUM.
Early Amber Cane — The earliest and best for the northern
states, and the only kind that can be depended upon for
syrup or sugar in this latitude. It is also better for
fodder than any other, being sweeter and contains more
nutriment than southern varieties. The seed should not
be sown until the ground is warm, so as to insure good
germination. If sown broadcast for fodder, from 50 to
60 lbs. of seed should be used to the acre. Half the
quantity is sufficient when wanted for syrup. When
sown in single, continuous rows so as to cultivate one
way, 12 to 15 lbs. is enough.
