Sudan Grass 



Solves the Hay Problem 



As its name Implies, Sudan Grass was introduced from Egypt. It 

 is a tall, annual grass, under average conditions reaching a 

 height of 5 feet, and has, without doubt, solved the hay 

 problem, producing a great crop in quantity and yield. Sudan Grass 

 is one of the greatest drought-resisting forage crops known. It does not 

 blight where moisture is heavy, and under good, seasonable conditions 

 yields a larger tonnage of hay per acre than any other crop known. Re- 

 covers rapidly after cutting. Price, 3/- lb.; 2/6 lb. in 281b. lots or more. 



Teff Grass

 under average conditions, is of remarkably quick growth. It has been 

 cut for hay in seven weeks from the time it was sown. Teff will thrive 

 on any ground, wet or dry, but soil of a porous, sandy nature is most 

 suitable. Grows where Lucerne will not live, and is well adapted to 

 resist drought. All stock devour il greedily. Price, 1 /6 lb.; 140/-cwi
