Hoffman’s 
SUDAN GRASS 
“4 Acres Carried 20 Cows 
for 4 Weeks,” 
Says Walter Townsend, Cochranville, Pa. 
Sudan grows quickly. First crop is often ready to cut 
in 50 to 70 days after planting. Second crop sometimes 
inside the next 45 to 50 days. The plant stools remark¬ 
ably. Its hay is equal to Timothy hay—analysis shows 
9.13 per cent protein. Stems are not extra heavy even 
though plant grows tall. For hay, cut the Sudan when 
in bloom or a little earlier—about the time the heads 
appear. 
Sudan is an annual—re-seeded each year. When other 
grasses wither because of dry weather, Sudan keeps 
supplying good rich pasture. 
Don’t sow Sudan until the soil is warm—corn-plant¬ 
ing time or a little later. Seed can be drilled or broad¬ 
cast—cover a half inch. Broadcast 18 to 24 pounds per 
acre. Sudan is often sown with Soy Beans or Cow Peas, 
making a fine combination. Sudan is a quick, sure, 
heavy producer of hay, pasture or ensilage.

Ears of Hoffman’s Famous Crib-and-Silo variety—“Lancaster County Sure Crop’’ 
“Improved Learning” Corn 
A good yellow corn. Will thrive on most any soil. Wedge 
shaped grains that are deep. Bed cob. Medium sized, 
tapering ears. 14 to 18 rows to the ear. Thick stalks. Wide 
leaves. Excellent for fodder. Improved Learning will do 
its best on good soil, but it will thrive on soils not too rich. 
“Long's Champion Yellow Dent” Corn 
This is just the corn for those in search of large-eared, deep- 
grained varieties. Bequires richer land, more careful cul¬ 
ture, and a longer season than do smaller-eared sorts. Ears 
have good thickness—good length. Grains are deep and wide. 
Also good for the Silo. Rich in feeding value. Produces 
a heavy tonnage. 
“Golden Queen” Corn 
Always a favorite here in southeastern Pennsylvania. 
Big ears. Full of rich, golden yellow corn. Has high feed 
value. A good-looking corn. Nice even rows. Medium 
sized grains. Tall and leafy. A prize-winner at the Corn 
Shows. 
“Eureka Ensilage” Corn 
This is a special silage variety. Grows to a great height, 
produces an abundance of leaves. Does not at all answer 
the double-purpose silage-and-grain requirements now de¬ 
manded by so many folks. But does give a large tonnage 
of ensilage.

SOY BEANS 
Inoculate your Soy Beans properly. They will build up 
your soil for you . . . put into the soil more than they 
take out. They are great gatherers of nitrogen, and that 
is what increases the fertility of your soil. Successful 
farmers say it pays to inoculate their Soy Beans seed. 
Plant Them Anywhere 
Plant Soy Beans on any kind of soil, sweet or sour. 
If your soil is sweet the inoculating bacteria will work 
rapidly for you. If your soil is sour, however, add lime 
in order to get the best results. 
Fast Growers—They Fight Weeds 
Soy Beans are disease free . . . exceptionally hardy. 
Plant them when the ground is good and warm . . . not 
until after corn planting time. 
“Wilson Black” SOY BEANS 
The best all-round general-purpose variety. Makes 
Hay, Beans, or silage. A strong, fast grower with 
slender stems and branches . . . makes such fine Hay. 
This variety matures Beans in lower Pennsylvania, 
higher New Jersey and states to the south. “Wilson 
Black’’ does well and produces beans on poor soil. . . . 
On good soil, it produces more forage. “Wilson Black’’ 
is a medium sized jet black Bean. Often yields 20 
bushels of Beans per acre. Many farmers get move 
than 30 bushels per acre. Use “Wilson Black’’ for 
Hay, forage, soiling and green manuring. It’s a money¬ 
maker. 
“Manchu” SOY BEANS 
A favorite in Pennsylvania and nearby states. Grows 
tall, erect and bushy. A great producer of Beans, good 
for forage. Excellent for hogging down. Beans are 
yellow and medium sized.

SOME FACTS ABOUT SOY BEANS 
Soy Beans cut green and paeked with corn for silage 
—1 part Soys to 4 parts Corn—will make a perfect 
ration of more value than corn silage alone. 
Ground Soy Beans are greedily eaten by all stock— 
easily digested—have a tonic effect. 
Corn and Soys grown together can be hogged down 
with convenience and profit. 
Planted in corn. Soys will aid the corn rather than 
curtail it. Nitrogen gathered by the Soys becomes 
available to the corn. 
Soys can be grown on land too poor and acid to pro¬ 
duce Clover.
