A Kansas field of Sudan. . . . What a 
life-saver Sudan has proven itself in 
these drought years 
ji 70 “The Sudan Grass seed I pur¬ 
chased of you last spring came 
up fine. Had a fine crop. Will need 
more seeds this spring.” 
T. E. Conner, 
Oxford, Pa. 
l 77 “I sowed 5 acres to Sudan 
Grass seed in May. In July I 
pastured 30 head of cattle on it for 
two weeks. Then I took them off for 
one month, and after that I pastured 
the cattle all fall on it and think very 
much of it as a pasture.” 
M. R. Cole, 
Stewartsville, N. J. 
JL 78 <l The Sudan Grass did well 
and proved timely. Stock like 
it well, both as pasture and hay. The 
second crop was best for hay.”

Hamburg, Pa. 
SUDAN GRASS 
There's just one thing wrong with Sudan this year. . . . That is, 
the quantity of it that is to be had. The supply is short. There is 
no carry-over of last year seed. . . . Price will be higher than here¬ 
tofore. But, even so—this fine crop will still be well worth all of 
its cost. It truly does play a mighty important part in many a 
farmer’s summer hay and pasture programs. 
★ 79 Walter Townsend, of Cochranville, Pa., says that four acres 
Sudan Pasture carried 20 cows for four weeks. . . . And adds that 
he can depend on just about that same kind of pasture year after 
year—even during the hottest part of the summer. 
There are a few other reports on these pages about what other 
Hoffman patrons are doing with Sudan—but many more folks have 
found this crop a great help when they need that help the most. 
Mr. Townsend sows much heavier than other folks do—lT/> 
bushels of seed per acre. Credits his success to heavy seeding. He 
sows Winter Rye in the fall, pastures it in the spring, until late 
April—then sows his Sudan seed on that ground, and has been 
having continuous pasture until frost. 
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 remarkably. 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 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 pasture. 
Don't sow Sudan until the soil is warm—corn-planting time or a 
little later. Seed can be drilled or broadcast—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. 
COW HORN TURNIPS 
Plant Cow Horn Turnips and improve your soil. Often sown in 
corn fields. Tops are eagerly eaten by sheep and poultry. Roots 
deeply and brings up fertilizer nearer the top. 
HOG PASTURE MIXTURE (Annual) 
Want a quick growth of pasture for hogs? Plant Hoffman’s Hop 
Pasture Mixture. Fattens hogs without the use of grain. Makes 
good pasture for cattle. Will grow again after being pastured off. A 
mixture of spring grains, grasses, vetches, field peas, forage plants, 
etc. Fine for alternate pasture plots. Sow 70 pounds to the acre, 
one or two inches deep.
