A Single Plant of 
Sudan. Note How 
It Stools. 
For a quick heavy producing for¬ 
age crop, Sudan Grass heads the 
list. Sown at corn planting time, 
it is ready to cut in July. In a few 
weeks more a second cutting may 
be made, and if frosts don’t come 
unusually early a third cutting will 
be ready in another few weeks. To 
start from seed and do all that in 
one year is a marvelous record. 
High Feeding Value 
Sudan belongs to the cane family. 
It is rich in sugar content. In 
feeding quality is nearly equal to alfalfa. All"stock 
eat it greedily, and clean it up completely, even the 
cdarsest stems. Cattle and horses fatten on it. It is 
highly palatable and nutritious. 
y Enormous Producer 
;Sudan Grass is a very rapid grower and enormous 
producer. A yield of 4 to 10 tons per acre, depending 
on'number of cuttings obtained, may easily be ex¬ 
pected. It is a great stooler, and every time it is cut 
a dpt of new shoots start coming. Sudan will stand 
more beat and drouth than any other forage crop. 
It' Is a native of the desert of Africa from where it . 
was brought a number of years ago. Once the seed 
sprouts and takes root, dry weather doesn’t phase it. r 
It remains green and thriving when other grasses wilt 
and dry up. 
Fine for Pasture 
For a quick fill-in pasture there is nothing better 
than Sudan. It will furnish a lot of grazing during

s/jLlllS 
mid-summer just when blue 
grass pastures are poorest. An 
acre of Sudan will take care of several head of cattle 
or hogs. 
Some farmers combine Sudan with Rape or Soy Beans, or both. 
This makes an excellent combination for either pasture or hay 
purposes. 
Planting Suggestions 
We recommend sowing not less than 30 pounds per acre. Some 
sow a li.ttle less but we don’t think it advisable to do so. You 
will get a finer quality feed, thinner stemmed and more leafy, by 
sowing not less than the amount specified above. Sudan should 
not be planted before corn planting time, as it will not stand cold 
w*et ground. After, that it can be planted all through the sum¬ 
mer, as late as August. We have sown it after grain harvest 
with fair results. The late plantings, of course, make fewer cut¬ 
tings. 
Our Prices Lower 
Our Sudan comes to us directly from the Texas Panhandle. 
This is the largest Sudan producing section in the world, in fact, 
practically the entire seed crop is produced there. Our direct 
buying enables us to sell for less. We can save you money on 
your Sudan purchases. Our suggestion, however, is to buy early, 
for the 1338 seed harvest was way below normal and prices are 
due to go higher. 
Fodder Cane 
A'heavy producing forage crop. Will produce sev¬ 
eral tons per acre of high quality feed. ’Rich in 
6Ugar. Very nutritious and palatable. All live-stock 
relish it and fatten on it. Especially fine for dairy 
cattle. Dairymen will find it a profitable crop. Many 
plant an acreage to cane each yfear. 
For best results cane should be sown fairly thick. 
We recommend 75 to 100 pounds per acre. At this 
rate it will produce fine stemmed hay and heaviest 
yields. Don’t sow too early in spring. May or June 
is proper time to plant. Cane is a great drouth re¬ 
sister. Will produce in driest seasons. Our seed stock 
is mostly local grown. High grade seed at reasonable 
price.

Reed Canary Grass 
For wet swampy land. Lowlands that have heretofore been 
total waste, can be made to produce profitably by planting Reed 
Canary Grass. Introduced to the central states in recent years, 
and is gaining sudden popularity. 
A hardy perennial that will live and produce many years. Makes a 
vigorous, leafy growth. Produces two to three cuttings per year. About 
4 to 8 tons per acre. Also excellent for grazing purposes. Makes an 
abundance of pasture from early spring until fall.

Sorghum Cane 
“WACO NI A”—The New Pedigreed 
Variety 
If you are growing cane for molasses purposes you 
should be careful about the selection of the seed you 
plant. “WACONIA” is the new variety especially 
developed for sorghum production. It has been bred 
for high syrup content, greater tonnage, and earliness. 
The average sugar content' of the matured juice is 
about 25% higher than in ordinary sorghum. 
We Have the Pure Strain 
Our Waconia seed is the pure line, developed by inbreeding 
methods similar to those used in producing Hybrid corn. We get 
our seed directly from the growers. Our seed is local grown, and 
adaptable to Iowa or Illinois conditions. 
Here is something exceptionally fine in a sorghum cane. We 
have investigated it ourselves, and we are convinced that for 
sorghum making purposes it is far superior to anything available 
today. Plant two to three pounds per acre. 
Postpaid Prices: 1 lb., 25c; 5 lbs., 60c; 10 lbs., 
$1.10. Not Prepaid: 10 lbs., 65c; 25 lbs., $1.25; 
50 lbs., $2.35.
