Your Acres Will Surprise You When. Growing These Crops 
THE GREATEST OF ALL FORAGE CROPS 
Every Farmer Should Grow It This Year 
Our Prices the Lowest 
Sudan Is gaining in popularity each year. With larger demand and short crop 
last year the price is slightly ■ higher than last season. Sudan prices *isually 
follow the grain markets. Dairy fanners would not be without it, if the price 
was double what we are asking. It is not uncommon for a local dealer in a 
small town in the dairy sections to sell two or three carloads of Sudan seed in 
one season. 
Characterbtics 
Sudan belongs to the. Cane family. It came originally from Africa. It was 
imported because of its drought resistance. In yield it excels cane, millet, 
kaffir and similar crops. Sudan is a free stooler and makes a fine quality of 
hay. Being a warm weather crop it should not be sown till com planting 
time and any time from then on to early July. Yields average three cuttings 
in the central corn belt. Grows only one year. Sow 20 to 25 lbs. to the acre. 
Drill in or broadcast and harrow. May be used as a smother crop for weeds. 
Makes good ensilage and fine pasture and hay. 
Consider Its Value 
Why risk the danger of short pastures or hay when Sudan Grass gives 
so much. In spite of heat and drought it grows right along. Your milk cows 
will give more milk. Your horses and mules will be kept in good flesh. Your cattle will 
fatten on it. It will take no more fertility from the land than a crop of oats. The crop 
can be used for seed but its big value on the average farm is for hay and pasture. 
Cut for hsy when in full bloom and handle like millet. May be cut before or after full bloom 
if desired. Some cut with a binder and cure in shocks claiming that is the easiest and best way 
to handle. It’s a great crop, friends. You shoiild be growing it. 
Highest Quality New Crop Seed 
Every pound of our seed is the finest grade, new crop, recleaned seed. It has strong germination 
and Is free of all noxious weed see^ including Johnson Grass. You cannot buy better seed. Our 
Sudan Grass is a wonderful bargain. Be sure to sow some at this low price. Provide yourself 
with pasture that will flourish in the hot dry summer months. Use it for hay or green feed. It is 
one of the best money-making crops j’ou can grow. The tise of Sudan has been increasing rapidly in 
recent years and at our present astonishingly low bargain prices it will certainly sweep the nation. 
So easy to grow, so enonnously productive, so highly palatable to live stock and such a phenomena/ 
drought resister. Put some acres to work on Sudan and make fine extra profits. 
25 lbs., 90c ; 50 lbs., $1.70; 100 lbs., $3.30 
These are bargain prices on this money making forage 
crop. It is used for hay, pasture, silage, soiling and as a 
seed crop. An enormous producer yielding as high as 50,000 
pounds of green feed per acre and 12,000 pounds of hay. 
Warmth, moisture and richness of soil regulate its growth 
which ranges from 5 to 8 feet. Will grow further north 
than Sudan and is a very popular crop in the northern and 
New England States as well as in the Corn Belt. 
Billion Dollar Grass belongs to the Millet family, and is 
also known as Japan Millet. Sown about first of May it 
should be ready to cut for hay about the middle of July. 
May of course be sown later. It is a one-year crop. It yields 
heavily and is relished by cattle, young stock and sheep. 
Makes good silage alone or mixed two parts Billion Dollar 
Grass and one part Soy Beans. Hay is higher in feed value 
than Timothy and seed is equal or superior to corn in value.

Gentlemen: I am favorable to your seed for two 
.reasons, first on account of the big savings and 
price on the high grade field seeds, and second the 
purity seems to be unexcelled by any other that I 
have ever bought. Other farmers here have used 
your seed with excellent results.
