SUDAN GRASS AND RELATED PLANTS. 89 
its more upright habit of growth, is better suited for these mixed 
plantings than the cowpea. Nearly as much hay is obtained from 
the Sudan grass alone as from the mixed seedings, but the addition 
of a legume to the hay adds to its value by increasing the protein 
content.

1 The averages include only thestations and years where data are presented for all methods. 
The proper proportion of Sudan grass and legumes in the mixtures 
has not been determined, but a mixture containing three plants of 
Sudan grass to one plant of the lezume is theoretically obtained by 
sowing 10 pounds of Sudan grass with 50 pounds of cowpeas, 12 
pounds of Sudan grass with 60 pounds of cowpeas, or 16 pounds of 
Sudan grass with 80 pounds of cowpeas. The total weight of seed 
used can be regulated according to the wishes of the planter and the 
fertility of the soil. The proportions of Sudan grass and soy-bean 
seed can be made the same as those with cowpeas. Generally speak-
