Sudan Grass 
Sudan Grass is another crop whose use is increasing yearly as its virtues 
and adaptations become better known. Belonging to the cane family and 
strictly an annual its ability to produce a tremendous amount of pasture dur¬ 
ing the dry hot months, when other pastures dry up, makes this crop of value 
to the stock and dairyman. Horses and hogs also thrive on it. As a pinch- 
hitter for farms short of pasture nothing else equals it. Pure Sudan has 
never been known to kill stock, but where the seed planted is full of cane 
mixtures and hybrids pasturing is not advised. This cheaper grade of seed is 
advised only where the crop is wanted for hay only. We advise the planting 
of Certified seed, at least get an analyist’s report showing the seed you use is 
free of hybrids. My seed is Colorado grown, carries neither Johnson Grass 
or other mixtures or hybrids unfitting it for pasture use. We have it in both 
the certified and common grades. 
Grown for hay purposes Sudan can be planted with a grain drill, using 
two or three pecks per acre. Planted in midsummer it will make a good crop 
of hay in 60 days. As much as 6 or 8 tons can be expected per season. Being 
a member of the sorghum family it should not be planted till late corn plant¬ 
ing time. 
Seed of this is mostly grown on the Texas plains, which were very dry 
last Summer and seed is now higher than it has been for some years. Do not 
plant too early but do not put off buying seed too late this season. See prices 
on back cover. 
Sorghum Seed 
Sorghum and the Millets seem to be about the scarcest thing there is. 
If you are going to plant any of these my advice is to buy it long before you 
need it, as it is not apt to be procurable at planting time. This advice is 
good on most all seed this season but especially so on sorghums. Write for 
prices.
