Johnson Grass. ^ i^; 
We have experimented with this 
new grass for several years, and 
find that it winter-kills in the north- 
ern parts of this state; in the ex- 
treme southern parts of this state 
and the southern states it does 
well. A perennial, a rapid grower, 
lonK.eane-like roots; the leaf, stalk, 
and panicle of this grass rescnibHn|{ 
those of other Sorghums. It grows 
on any land where corn will grow, 
and, like corn, will bear heavy 
manuring, yielding richly in rich 
ground. In fact, the richer the land 
the better the crop. Twenty-five 
to thirty pounds will sow an 'acre.
