FIELD OF SUDAN GRASS 
Illinois farmers claim this the greatest annual 
grass ever introduced. 
Sudan grass can be grown almost anywhere. 
It seems to be unaffected by temperature and 
grows as well in a cool climate as a hot one. It 
requires no special quality of soil; black loam, 
clay and sandy loams have all produced success- 
ful crops. Its most valuable quality is its re- 
sistance to drought. In dry or semi-arid sections 
It thrives to perfection and yet excessive moisture 
does not injure it in any way; is an annual, the 
first winter killing it completely. This valuable 
grass completely outdistances all competitors in 
quantity of yield. Three or four cuttings in a 
single season, each 
producing from 1% 
to 2 tons of hay per 
acre, can be secured. 
A very conservative 
average Is 5 tons of 
hay per acre each 
season. It should not 
I be planted until all 
danger of frost is 
over and the ground 
thoroughly warm. 
Can be sown in drills 
eighteen inches apart, 
using six pounds per 
acre or broadcast us- 
ing fifteen pounds.

FETERITA 
This new grain and fodder plant belongs 
to the class of Non-Saccharine Sorghums 
and is similar to Kaffir corn, requiring the 
same culture. The great advantage Feterlta 
has over Kaffir corn and all other plants of 
that class is its extreme earliness and 
great drought resisting qualities. Feterlta 
is from 20 to 30 days earlier than Kaffir 
corn, makes excellent fodder and produces 
a large grain crop; in some instances it 
made an excellent yield of grain in the 
eemi-arid regions without having received 
any rain from the time it was planted until 
it was harvested. ^ pound, 15 cents; 
t>onnd, 85 cents; 3 pounds, 65 cents, post-

countries and seasons even better 
than Kaffir coi n. It grows sev- 
eral smaller heads on side shoots, 
often as many as eight heads on a 
etalk. Very valuable for feeding 
etoclf and proves a gold mine for 
chicken feed. Plant five to ten 
pounds per acre. ^ pound, 18
